[Gasherbrum]

ooh lovely ball by monty.

 

[shan]

why Faisal iqbal is playing?

 

[iZeeshan]

why Faisal iqbal is playing?

Exactly what I asked when I saw when we only had 4 bowlers.

 

[Easa]

Don't even get me started on the team selection for this match!

115-2

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more for moyo thru legside.

Pak 115/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Good leg glance for 2.

 

[shan]

razaq or afridi would have been better

 

[iZeeshan]

Well fielded after another good leg glance

 

[iZeeshan]

razaq or afridi would have been better

Like Easa said, don't get us started on team selection.

 

[Amjid Javed]

awful stroke from YK.

loss of concentration!

 

[iZeeshan]

Not a good shot from YK. Could have been bad.

 

[shan]

the stage is set to make 650+ and bowl England out for 220!

 

[ali_ed2006]

Pakistan: 116/2 (29.0 Ovs)

 

[iZeeshan]

Wouldn't that be nice...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 119/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Double after a good sweep.

 

[Gasherbrum]

moyo playes at that one lazily and it goes right through.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both batsmen look unsure v monty!

 

[Gasherbrum]

yousuf looks very fluent when playing off his legs. doesn't fall over towards the offside, stands tall and waits for the ball to come in to him.

 

[Amjid Javed]

To many loose shots for my liking here!

Pak 122/2

 

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 122/2 (30.1 ov)

Younis Khan (rhb) 39

Mohammad Yousuf (rhb) 40


Current partnership 86 runs, 15.3 overs, rr: 5.54 (Mohammad Yousuf 40, Younis Khan 39) Come on guy keep oing we really really need it. Mashallah

 

[Gasherbrum]

yep, need a break here. call for drinks or something.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely cover drive for 4 by YK.

 

[Gasherbrum]

ouch. take that hoggard. flowing drive through cover for four by yk.

 

[Billy]

Monty's turning the ball a bit more than I expected!

Pakistan are playing well at the moment though.

 

[ShowStopper]

Hoggard to Younis Khan, no run, crikey that was a huge stroke of luck for Younis who chips it, without timing, in the air but it falls just short of Steve Harmison at mid-on. Careless shot

Hello not that. pleasse

 

[Amjid Javed]

Still 25 over left, we cant afford to lose any wickets!

Pak 126/2

 

[ShowStopper]

30.5 Hoggard to Younis Khan, FOUR, half volley about a mile outside the off stump, and Younis absolutely laces it through the covers. He really got his front foot to the pitch of the ball and it fairly raced away for four

 

[Amjid Javed]

moyo comes down track and gets 4.

Pak 130/2

 

[Gasherbrum]

aggressive intent, didn't get as much on to it as he would've liked but it still fetches him 4 more.

 

[iZeeshan]

Younis is struggling against Panesar, and Yousuf looks a bit uneasy with pace right now.

 

[Gasherbrum]

yk has been uppish when playing straight, pushing with his bottom hand a bit.

 

[Gasherbrum]

played nicely off the pads again by moyo for another well run couple.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 133/2 -- partnership 97 from 109 balls

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 more off his legs for moyo...

keep going lads...

 

[Amjid Javed]

My 48* Yk 44*

 

[Amjid Javed]

100 partnership up!

Pak 136/2

 

[Nawazb]

100 partnership up!!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

nicely done by the two. need another hundred though ...

 

[Amjid Javed]

drinks, players need to stay focussed!

still over 380 behind yet!

 

[sharuk]

Afridi the 12th man


hahaahahahahah

 

[Gasherbrum]

moyo shakes his head, was a slow half volley and he hit it straight to mid-off. afridi brings the drinks on to the field for the two batsmen. pakistan's session so far though with both batsmen playing through a few shaky moments.

 

[Amjid Javed]

monty still on now...

 

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 136/2 (33.0 ov)

Younis Khan (rhb) 44

Mohammad Yousuf (rhb) 48


Current partnership 100 runs, 18.2 overs, rr: 5.45 (Mohammad Yousuf 48, Younis Khan 44)

Mashallah more of this is needed

 

[iZeeshan]

Big Appeal! Not out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Maiden over.

[iZeeshan]

Cut away, well fielded.

 

[iZeeshan]

[iZeeshan]

Please can someone answer. How did Butt get run out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 for moyo and 51*

well played! come on and graft and get a double ton!

 

[iZeeshan]

Thats MY's 50! Great shot.

 

[Gasherbrum]

well played moyo. need to battle on.

 

[ShowStopper]

Please can someone answer. How did Butt get run out.

Younis called fora run that wasn't there and Butt being not a great runner could not get in in time.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Please can someone answer. How did Butt get run out.

YK tapped ball down close to KP and ran and left butt stranded!

 

[Amjid Javed]

leg glance for 4 by YK onto 48*

 

[ShowStopper]

34.2 Hoggard to Mohammad Yousuf, 3 runs, delightful drive, well timed and Pietersen just about cuts that off on the deep cover boundary, but that’s three runs all the same and Yousuf raises his bat for a well-crafted fifty

Mashallah well played

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 143/2

 

[Gasherbrum]

ball slipping down leg, yk gets an edge on to it and helps it away for 4

 

[KA$H]

monty lookin dangerous

 

[ShowStopper]

YK tapped ball down close to KP and ran and left butt stranded!

Lets not get angry Younis is playing well and Hopefully will make up for his mistake Inshallah.

[Amjid Javed]

[KA$H]

[Amjid Javed]

2 leg byes

Pak 146/2

 

[Amjid Javed]

both need to score big here - no excuses - i can only see a loose shot getting them out

I agree big tons needed here!

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan is getting very good shots off, but the field psotining is really good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for YK down to 3rd man.

Pak 147/2

 

[KA$H]

Pakistan is getting very good shots off, but the field psotining is really good.

plus the feilding is good

 

[ShowStopper]

37.2 Panesar to Mohammad Yousuf, no run, Monty lets out a big, lone cry of an appeal, but the batsman got an inside edge on that one… He’s limping and something’s not quite right with his left leg

haha

 

[iZeeshan]

Brilliant fielding.
