Liam Livingstone talks about his innings

The Mumbai Indians were able to recover, thanks to Akash Madhwal’s nine-run innings. Meanwhile Liam Livingstone spoke about how the pitch allowed him to score freely.

He said, “It felt like a good pitch, playing spin was quite difficult. I tried to ensure that we do not lose wickets in clumps, it’s a good score. It’s a good pitch, so we will have to bowl well. It’s nice to get going. I had lunch with Archer today and he said he was going to come after me. He (Archer) knows what I don’t like. Playing spin was a bit harder, but I picked by bowlers pretty well today.”
