Numan Ali to start day 2 for Pakistan

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Need quick wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

Mushfiqur will be eyeing his 8th test Hundred

 

[Justcrazy]

Need quick wickets

This is flat pitch , WI chased a massive total in the fourth innings here , Pakistan can get 500 here

 

[Justcrazy]

There we go a review , height is only issue here

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Hasan Ali strikes, good on Babar to review this

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Pakistan strike early wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Debutant yasir Ali to face the music as Shaheen comes in

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Interesting

 

[Nasty Naz]

Shaheen got an edge to the keeper but it didn't carry.

They're placed so far back even though there is zero bounce in this pitch.

 

[imshally81]

Another review... But not out

 

[Justcrazy]

Another review by Hassan here

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be looking to restrict Bangla within 350 here

 

[Nasty Naz]

There's not much swing and I think the angle across is too easy for batsmen to leave vs Shaheen. He should try coming around the stumps IMO.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Hasan Ali. He is getting the ball to jag in big time.

I thought he was washed up though?

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

pakistan get the sixth wicket

 

[Nasty Naz]

There's not much swing and I think the angle across is too easy for batsmen to leave vs Shaheen. He should try coming around the stumps IMO.

First ball he does it, he gets a leading edge and nearly a wicket.

BAN 273/6 (95.5)

PAK

Day 2: 1st Session

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be looking for few more wickets here before lunch

 

[Nasty Naz]

Faheem gets a massive breakthrough. Can Pakistan now hold them to 300?

 

[Fahdi]

What does the commentator mean by tough call? That was as clear an edge you'll ever see on snicko...

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Faheem strikes , beautiful comeback by pakistan on day 2

 

[Shaddy86]

What a sore loser this Mush. Clearly edged it, you know as a batsman when you've had such a massive edge.You got close 100, well played but just move on. Stop moaning like a little baby. I don't know what it is about him but I don't dislike any other player as much as him.

 

[Justcrazy]

Faheem needs keep on working on his bowling, he can be a solid option for Pakistan in overseas Tests matches.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would lone to keep Bangla within 300 here

 

[Justcrazy]

Two crunching boundaries by Mehdi , he is looking to strike some lusty blows and get quick runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

17 runs partnership so far

 

[iRfaN_LA]

This guy sajid is really off target. He needs to get his line and length right. Looking harmless.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh should look to add more runs here , the pitch is good. No need to go after everything.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

300 up for bangla here !

 

[imshally81]

Gone...

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

eight down

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would look to wrap it up quickly within 320

 

[shah_1]

Get Sajid out of the attack

 

[Justcrazy]

Mehdi hassan needs to keep most strike here

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Important runs being added by Bangla tail here

 

[Hyder]

Nawaz and Hafeez are more threatening.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Nauman and Sajid are both useless. Bring back seamers and wrap it up.

 

[Hyder]

Babar never bowls azhar or fawad or khushdil idk why
He himself used to roll his fingers in his u19 days.
Sometimes these part timers can peovide crucial breakthroughs

 

[shah_1]

Useless spinners

 

[Justcrazy]

Mehdi Hassan 35 not out , he is looking good here

 

[shah_1]

I swear that Nawaz is a better bowler than Nauman and he can bat as well

 

[Justcrazy]

UT

Both India and Pakistan get wicket at the same time !

what an coincidence

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Ali, pick of the bowlers.

Our spinners have not been a factor at all unfortunately.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Hasan. 5 wicket haul for him.

Really happy for him, he needed it.

 

[imshally81]

All out...

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Hassan gets 5 ver here !

 

[shah_1]

Haha people wanted Hasan Ali out. He is far the best test bowler of Pakistan.

 

[Babeikh]

Hassan Ali gets 5

Hilarious after some of the comments yesterday

 

[Adeel Naseem]

Will he be on hat-trick next inngs?

 

[Bull]

Hasan Ali the test bowler is very different from Hasan Ali the limited overs bowler.

He has been picking up a lot of wickets in tests since his comeback.He should not be picked up in limited overs side though.

 

[Savak]

Hasan Ali. Form is temporary, Class is Permanent. He has been better than Shaheen in test cricket, look at the number of 5 wicket halls he has picked up of late

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan batting to start , they would look to get at least 500 here

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan should aim to bat bat and bat for 8-9 sessions

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan's openers are out in the middle. Abid Ali with debutant Abdullah Shafique.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh would look for early wickets here

 

[imshally81]

Will he be on hat-trick next inngs?

Yes.. I think

 

[Mainul]

Pak pacers got 9 wickets out of 10. They have got a quality pace attack. They have proved once again that on slow wickets true quality pace bowling will earn you wickets.

Here lies the huge difference between these two teams. Bangladesh have got a toothless club level pace bowling attack. They haven't got a high standard spin bowling attack too. I don't see any reason why Pakistan shouldn't be able to put up 450 on this wicket.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hasan Ali the test bowler is very different from Hasan Ali the limited overs bowler.

He has been picking up a lot of wickets in tests since his comeback.He should not be picked up in limited overs side though.

He is still a good LOI bowler however he has tendency to be very leaky at times.

Ideally more suited towards ODI's than T20's but worth noting he has a better average & strike rate than Afridi in T20's.

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh would look for early wickets here

They have not got the attack to think so

 

[Mainul]

8 wickets in 7 tests. Ebadot u beauty.

 

[Justcrazy]

Abid Ali is timing the ball well , he should look to play his shots

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh bowlers are very low standard, they need to change their attitude to fast bowling otherwise they will never improve.

 

[Justcrazy]

Abid Ali is getting some boundaries , Pakistan should aim to bat long here and make Bangladesh players tired

 

[Omer2002]

Abid is such a streaky player mixed with good shots and lucky ones

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

How could they not take the review with 3 available?

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid and steady start by Pakistani openers here , Pakistan looking towards a healthy first innings lead here

 

[shah_1]

Abdullah lucky

 

[trickyone]

I hope Shafique starts playing his shot after being very lucky, he is not gonna get freebies

 

[Babeikh]

Watchful and mature from Pakistan so far. Like it.

 

[Shafi]

Shafiqe looks more timid and slower than Sami Aslam Why can't our players play positively instead of non-stop block and slog? This guy is nothing special.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Abdullah giving off some real Sami Aslam vibes. Hopefully its just a nervous start.

 

[Babeikh]

Nothing wrong with having a few nerves on your test debut

 

[Omer2002]

Shafiqe looks more timid and slower than Sami Aslam Why can't our players play positively instead of non-stop block and slog? This guy is nothing special.

The guy is playing his first match ..he has played 3 first class matches and people are expecting miracles..just hit a six ...

 

[Omer2002]

Nothing wrong with having a few nerves on your test debut

Absolutely ..you can see the potential in longer formats we havent produced any batters for long time

 

[Nasty Naz]

I do miss the days of Misbah & Younis reversing sweeping spinners all the time.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Shafique is the best batsman after Babar.People are expecting miracles from him right from his first match.Give the lad a chance.
