Liam Livingstone, who has made a late charge into England’s white-ball team plans before the T20 World Cup, produced another spectacle in the 2nd T20I vs Pakistan on Sunday evening. He hit a 122-metre six that cleared the Headingley roof and and landed on a rugby pitch next to the cricket stadium. Brett Lee is recorded to have hit a 143-metre six at the Gabba vs West Indies in 2005. On Friday, Livingstone rewrote the record books by slapping 103 off 43 balls against Pakistan in the first T20 at Trent Bridge. Facing Pakistan seamer Haris Rauf, Livingstone cleared his front leg and sent an overpitched delivery back over the bowler’s head.
