Day 3: 1st Test, Pak vs Eng - Update thread

[The_Cricket_Devil]

why was akmal backing away from that one from harmy? He just hung the bat out there and moyo goes up to give him some advice

 

[the_game]

Akmal hanging his bat like Razzaq. Calm down boy, listen to Yousuf.

 

[Rob H]

lovely shot from akmal. Beauty!

 

[Hache]

Akmal easily steered one down gully....

4/318

 

[Easa]

As I wrote that, he plays a beautiful square drive.

 

[Sid100]

4 for akmal, good shot

 

[Saj]

And Kamran responds with a delicious square drive, which Rameez calls risky in one breath and then stylish ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well akmal just drove that one beautifully for 4!

Pakistan 318-6

 

[Easa]

318-6

 

[Schiller]

moy's presence right now is vital, not from runs' point of view but so that he can help soothe the frail nerves of the young ones out there at the crease

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and now there seems to be something up with the ball

 

[Easa]

Leg side completely open.

Akmal plays and misses again

 

[Schiller]

And Kamran responds with a delicious square drive, which Rameez calls risky in one breath and then stylish ?

He is a man of many talents, saj

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and once agn akmal backs away and just hangs his bat out

 

[PlanetPakistan]

3rd test @ Lahore 2005 vs ENG!

3rd day, last session!
Harmison vs M Yousuf.... M Yousuf said that was greatest spell he had EVER faced.

 

[Easa]

And Kamran responds with a delicious square drive, which Rameez calls risky in one breath and then stylish ?

It's Rameez

 

[Mutazalzaluzzaman Tarar]

Kami calm down man. just wait for the ball to get older - there's runs to be had here. don't throw it away now. you're too good for that. shabaash.

 

[Easa]

[the_game]

Akmal bhaijan, you have batted in far worse situations. It's Lords, just another cricket ground; don't get nervous.

 

[Hache]

Plunkett to replace Hoggy...

 

[Easa]

Wayward Plunkett back into the attack

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Easa]

Yousaf takes a single

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

single to moyo

319-6

 

[Easa]

Akmal back on strike

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ramiz says that england would want to expose kamran then quickly changes to say "examine" kamran

 

[Bailan]

Another 100 runs to keep a fair shot at the game .... or atleast drawing it

 

[Easa]

On the legs, single for Kami

 

[shan]

Wayward Plunkett back into the attack

Still he picked vital wicket of Inzy unlike our bowlers

 

[Easa]

ramiz says that england would want to expose kamran then quickly changes to say "examine" kamran

Noticed that.

Dead ball

 

[Rob H]

brilliant ball there from Plunkett. Dead ball called.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Still he picked vital wicket of Inzy unlike our bowlers

that was in no way the bowler's great bowling that got him that wicket unlucky bounce occured.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

leg bye there, good running though

321-6

 

[shan]

that was in no way the bowler's great bowling that got him that wicket unlucky bounce occured.

[Easa]

Nice shot for Kami, 3 runs taken

 

[shan]

[Hache]

Smooth timing by Akmal straight down the ground, on 18* little man

6/324 Pak, merely 5 runs away from the follow on mark

 

[Rana]

3 runs, very very shaky start by kamran, however once he settles he will score easily

 

[Bilsher007]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3 for akmal

324-6

 

[Easa]

Plunkett very ineffective compared to Harmy and Hoggy

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Bilsher007]

INSHALLAH yousuf to make double century and kamran once set should also go on to make a worthy century INSHALLAH. I am still saddened by the fact inzamam got out.

 

[Hache]

6/327

 

[Rana]

harmisson really putting his back into it

 

[Easa]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ah yes those losers who think faisal iqbal should be out of the team...

 

[the_game]

Rameez makes a good point

Through this fightback, Pakistan will get better and better as the series progresses

Pakistan do that usually anyway. They get better as more matches are played in the series.

 

[Easa]

Optomistic appeal, not out

 

[Rana]

cmon guys, another 200 is needed, just get close to it

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

appeal for lbw but it was nowhere close but agn bounce was on the low side
