[Rana]

i remeber the commentator saying wen colloingwood was first introduced to bowl today as a partnership braker loool

infact he hasnt take a single wicket in 12 test matches

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if we avoid the ofllow on b4 the new bowl that be a good target

 

[Rana]

quite surprisingly Moyo has only been run out twice in his career

 

[Rana]

monty comin over the wicket now

 

[Zeenix]

Late cut by YOYO for single

 

[Easa]

He's been run out plenty of times in the shorter form of the game

 

[Sid100]

moves MY to 130

 

[Rana]

we need to bat untill tea on day 4 inshallah, then we can attack england with ke=aneria on a turning wicket

 

[Rana]

He's been run out plenty of times in the shorter form of the game

more like he has run out the other batsmen plenty of times in his career

 

[Easa]

Razzaq 18 of 43 balls

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to bat untill tea on day 4 inshallah, then we can attack england with ke=aneria on a turning wicket

if we are by then we will be about 200 ahead

if afridi gets in

 

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 284/5 (75.5 ov)
Pakistan trail by 244 runs with 5 wickets remaining

Current partnership 43 runs, 13.0 overs, rr: 3.15 (Abdul Razzaq 17, Mohammad Yousuf 18)

 

[Zeenix]

almost went through Raazi defences

 

[Zeenix]

2 to Raazi

 

[Toony™®]

added 124 runs in this session for the loss of one wicket...so far!

 

[ShowStopper]

I think Pak should target one or two bowlers in particular like Colly and Bhai Jee. Tha will reduce English options and will give Pak the upper hand. what do you guys think?

 

[Sid100]

40 runs to save the follow on

 

[ShowStopper]

Collingwood to Mohammad Yousuf, 3 byes, drifts this down the leg-side, Jones – standing up to the stumps – can’t collect it and Harmison, wide of fine-leg, needs to be shouted at by the entire city of London to alert him to the ball running 30 feet to his right&

 

[Amir]

If we get atleast within 100 of their lead, than we will be fine and I think we will draw no problem.

 

[Rana]

if we are by then we will be about 200 ahead

if afridi gets in

that shud be our gameplan and inshallah we can win then, i dont think england will even reach 150 wen kaneria attacks on this wicket on day 4 and 5

 

[Rana]

If we get atleast within 100 of their lead, than we will be fine and I think we will draw no problem.

i think this shud end up as a draw neway

 

[Rana]

first reall attacking ball by Monty

 

[Zeenix]

Good spin by Monty

 

[Easa]

Yousaf beaten, good delivery

 

[Rana]

single to MoYo, he is playing like a tiger today

[Zeenix]

38 more required to avoid followon

 

[Zeenix]

England letting Moyo walk up the stairs first, very nice gesture.

Pakistan's Session baring inzi's dismissal

 

[Sid100]

i think razzaq coming in b4

had been justified

I Agree, hasnt done anything rash or risky which afridi MAY have done.

 

[Gunner786]

this pitch is perfect for afridi's style!!
come on razzaq get out

 

[HAFRIDI]

well played lads, i hope now when afridi comes in, no pressure on him although he cant feel it etc but i hope he plays freely..well he will..but..u kno what i mean ; )

 

[HAFRIDI]

this pitch is perfect for afridi's style!!
come on razzaq get out

what the hell?? u crazy

 

[shan]

2 good sessions for Pakistan hope they don't throw in last session

 

[Sid100]

The key test will be the New BALL after tea, if pk can get through it without losing a couple of wickets they have a good chance in getting near to Englands 528. We dont wanna lose 3 wickets with it(the new ball) like we did when we opened the innings.

 

[Easa]

The new ball either produces wickets or goes for alot of runs. Let's see what happens now.

 

[Easa]

Piece of **** post

 

[Usman Chadda]

The new ball either produces wickets or goes for alot of runs. Let's see what happens now.

The new ball goes for a lot of runs only when Sami and Gul are bowling

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another very good session for Pakistan and we should look to carry it into the tea session. Play the new ball carefully and hopefully not lose our wickets. We should look to reach 400+ before the day is up and play till at least lunch tomorrow. Best case scenario we will finish our innings with a bit of a lead, perhaps 20-30 run lead

 

[Pathan007]

u gotta be kidding me ) ) ) )

 

[Usman Chadda]

Negative post. Wicket at this stage will hurt Pakistan more than anything else. I would rather see Razzaq and Yousuf bat the whole session

 

[Bilsher007]

MASHALLAH pakistan fighting hard out there at lords. Great innings by yousuf to date and inzamam, great partnership of 173 runs for the fifth wicket between them. I was dissappointed with inzamam's dismisal, he looked good enough to bring up century and go further upto 150 runs atleast. I was shocked with his dismisal but then these things happen in cricket, razzak settling down slowly which is fine for pakistan.

We must first get past this follow on quickly then try to catch up with the remaining trail of runs as much as possible towards end of day's play. Yousuf is playing brilliantly, my incessant dua that yousuf makes another double century against england. Razzak should not play too slowly as he does sometimes when he goes into complete defensive mode or sleep mode. INSHALLAH yousuf will get double century, razzak a century, afridi and akmal quick centuries !

 

[Easa]

The new ball goes for a lot of runs only when Sami and Gul are bowling

In all seriousness, the new ball is harder so comes of the bat better. It will either produce runs or wickets

I would slap you but my internet hand does not reach that low into the depths of stupidity

 

[shan]

Pakistan should bat atleast another 45 overs wich mean score over 450

 

[ShowStopper]

u gotta be kidding me ) )

I thik he is drunk)

 

[Mutazalzaluzzaman Tarar]

this kind of stupidity should warrant a ban.

I think I'm honestly beginning to almost hate Afridi because of his insane "fans"/groupies.

Shabash Yousuf! Shabash Inzi! Our 2 big guns doing the job again!!
