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

[Hache]

Pakistan after surpassing the followon mark will look to march on and chase that halfa grand England's score...

Plunkett has been unimpressive thus far...

6/331 Pak

Yousaf 143*
Akmal 23*

 

[the_game]

Holy shoot! Imran and Jemima in vicinity of each other. Beastly!

 

[Easa]

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

True

 

[Bilsher007]

How many overs are left for the day's play guys ? I hope pakistan makes something like 400/6 at stumps.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

heh straight drive and akmal gets out of the way as plunkett recovers it

 

[Easa]

Holy shoot! Imran and Jemima in vicinity of each other. Beastly!

Yes. And no mention of her from the commies

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

How many overs are left for the day's play guys ? I hope pakistan makes something like 400/6 at stumps.

a little less than 20 overs left

 

[Easa]

Moyo flicks it away for a single

 

[shan]

Yes. And no mention of her from the commies

Imran in Lord's

 

[the_game]

Yes. And no mention of her from the commies

Too BEASTLY to be mentioned on TV I guess!

 

[Rana]

cmon MoYo 150 pleas

 

[Easa]

Thats how you play a short ball, Akmal should take notice

 

[Schiller]

beastly, you say game?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Holy shoot! Imran and Jemima in vicinity of each other. Beastly!

Apparently they are still "friends".

 

[the_game]

beastly, you say game?

Very !

 

[Easa]

Two runs for Moyo, driven straight

 

[Schiller]

perhaps moy should shield kami from harmi

 

[Hache]

146* Muhammed Yousaf

6/335 Pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well played down mid on and a quick double taken moving moyo to 146*

335-6

 

[UJ]

i thought that b word was forbidden....

 

[Rob H]

not out for an lbw appeal.

 

[Easa]

Massive appeal, given not out

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ooo big appeal for lbw looked close lets wait for the replays

 

[Easa]

Great decision from Taufel

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

it was high and sliding down legside too

 

[Easa]

Time for some drinks

 

[Schiller]

that is why i asked game uj

i had only requested and others had as well, that the word be used less and less for a few days

was that out?

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Wat an innings from MoYo !!! still got afridi to come so should be looking to get close to
the england total now ...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

drinks are on

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

whoa lol commercials come back and all i see is a pic showing the cameraman and moyo's beard

 

[KB]

Dangerous spell from Harmison, who found some rhythm. Pace and bounce.

 

[Easa]

Moyo 146*

 

[Bilsher007]

MASHALLAH follow on avoided. Now we must reach our other targets. Atleast 400 / 6 at stumps and then tommorow we need to chase down the remaining trail of runs and build a respectable lead of atleast 100 runs.

 

[shan]

17 overs remain in the day

 

[Easa]

Really nice drive for two runs.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nice drive by akmal who looks to be growing in confidence

2 runs there

337-6

 

[umarbeast]

Can pakistan avoid having to chase 300+ in second innings????

 

[shan]

MASHALLAH follow on avoided. Now we must reach our other targets. Atleast 400 / 6 at stumps and then tommorow we need to chase down the remaining trail of runs and build a respectable lead of atleast 100 runs.

lead of 100?

i will be happy even if they score 500 from this stage

lead of 100!

 

[UJ]

Akmal Dropped

 

[Easa]

Another big appeal, going down leg

Pietersen drops it

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

akmal dropped

 

[Hache]

KP drops AKmal at extra cover, was a steep chance, low, but getable...

6/337

 

[PlanetPakistan]

dropped

 

[shan]

Can pakistan avoid having to chase 300+ in second innings????

to do this they will have to play another 60 overs

 

[Rana]

dropped by peterson

 

[Easa]

Seventh drop of KP's short career

 

[the_game]

Pietersen drops so many catches!

 

[Hache]

on 28* little master.

 

[Schiller]

didn't he drop caprice as well?

 

[Easa]

didn't he drop caprice as well?

)

 

[Easa]

Perfect defensive shot from Moyo, next ball flicked away for a single

 

[ShowStopper]

didn't he drop caprice as well?

Thats a hoooot drop.

 

[Hache]

Pakistan should look to bat out time today and start afresh tomorrow. They have to inch closer to England's total to avoid facing lots of overs in their 2nd inning.

 

[umarbeast]

)

yeah but that was intentional

go akmal go yousuf

 

[KB]

didn't he drop caprice as well?

hehehehe

 

[Saj]

274 for 3 for the day so far today.

16 overs left after this one. Its crucial that Kamran gets his head down and digs in.

 

[Rana]

cmon yousuf man make 150 today for gods sake

 

[umarbeast]

this seems like the last wicket. The rest including afrdi will fall quickly as everyone already knows

 

[Rana]

184 needed

 

[ShowStopper]

340 up I think with Afridi still to come we can afford a lil beasty boasta.

 

[Saj]

Kamran squared up and edges it for 4 past 3rd slip.

344 for 6.

 

[Schiller]

i hear 3rd slip a lot here

 

[Hache]

Akmal as they living dangerously edged another one own Third Man....

32* Akmal

6/344 Pak, trailing by 184 now...

 

[UJ]

Akmal just about hanging on here...c'mon little man, not too much longer!

 

[KB]

Not looking comfortable, but fighting hard, Akmal.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yaar Akmal bhai dheek kay kheelo!

 

[KB]

Bulldozed down the ground for 4

 

[shan]

44444444444444

 

[Rob H]

aggressive stuff from Yousuf. Now it's 150. Well played.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

moyo getsx his 150

 

[Saj]

bang ! A couple of steps down the pitch and wacks it past Monty P for 4

151 not out for Yousuf

 

[ShowStopper]

Hoggy nearing his 100 only 16 more to give

 

[Hache]

150 up for Muhammed Yousaf, powered Monty's 1st ball of latest spell straight down the ground....

6/348

 

[Rana]

finally 150 for yousuf

 

[UJ]

Well done Yousuf!!

 

[the_game]

Yousuf moves to 151*. Awesome knock!

 

[KB]

I really prefer Yousuf to play straight rather than sweep

 

[Rob H]

that was a close appeal!

 

[ShowStopper]

very well played indeed Mashallah.
