Well he is Inzi... needs a few overs to wake up.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Well even with our young openers... we are missing Younis ..

but Malik was the Fighter that we needed... even looking UGLY he can build a partnership, and I am surprised that SAMI has lost all ability with the bat.... he couldnt hang around

smai abilities has declined in both areas

 

[Amjid Javed]

lovely driven 4 from inzi!

 

[Rob H]

malik fights for everything it may not loook good but he battles

[Amjid Javed]

[Easa]

Harmison 88.2 MPH

[Rob H]

Yousef playing the short ball well. If one kicks up though off the pitch then he won't be able to keep his hands down.

 

[Easa]

No ball

85-4

Yousef playing the short ball well. If one kicks up though off the pitch then he won't be able to keep his hands down.

who know if he will be able to keep his hands down or not?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Inzi looks uncomfertable against short ball here!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to survive thisopening burst bouncers galore

 

[KB]

Inzamam these days does not like to pull early on. He prefers to pull/hook when he is set.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

inzi sruggling but come on inzi u can beat this

 

[Easa]

Nice shot for a single

 

[Easa]

Inzamam these days does not like to pull early on. He prefers to pull/hook when he is set.

Very true.

 

[Easa]

88-4 @ the end of the over.

 

[The Chaudrey]

if Inzi needs time to get settled into the pitch, MoYo should try to protect him from the strike

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

just keeping rotatioing the stikre

that fine

 

[Easa]

Smashing shot

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

shot for 4 by moyo

 

[Easa]

92-4

 

[Amjid Javed]

What a shot by moyo for 4.

thats how u play the cover drive!

like dean jones says no one plays it better than moyo!

 

[The Chaudrey]

the injury to Malik really surprises me - i watched him merrily hitting fours and sixes at the oval on Monday and then he pulls out of the test by Thursday, with the possibility of him being out for the entire series

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

What a shot by moyo for 4.

thats how u play the cover drive!

like dean jones says no one plays it better than moyo!

[Sid100]

who do u think england will bring on next, plunkett or sard dha jee???

 

[Amjid Javed]

Appeal for lbw, hit just outside off-stump!

 

[Billy]

Rusty stuff from Hoggard, problematic too with Flintoff missing.

 

[ShowStopper]

England have only three pacers so if we could just frustrate them a bit they will worn out at the end of the day and after Tea we have a good chance of dominating the game. but for now tik tok will do.
Pakistan 95/4 trailing by only 433

Do not underestimate the power of the Collingwood.

 

[ShowStopper]

And by the way Yousuf is averaging 88 in Tests this year...So those of you who are very distressed some thing to smile about. Inshallah he may continue to get better and better.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

are u not listening to audio commentary via bbc???

no is it available for me in dnemark any help in his matter would be appriciated

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good drive for 2 down ground by inzi.

 

[ShowStopper]

Do not underestimate the power of the Collingwood.

I know he can bowl but having scored 186 I can't se him taking wickets in this match.

[Easa]

Moyo and Inzi slowly but surely rebuilding the innings.

 

[KB]

Even with the two fours, still sense that Inzi is not totally comfortable. Searching for the ball a bit.

 

[Amjid Javed]

To loose shots from inzi there, has 2 be careful!

 

[Amjid Javed]

agree 100%

 

[ShowStopper]

Harmison to Inzamam-ul-Haq, FOUR, dreadful ball on Inzamam’s leg-stump who piles into it, flicking it off his pads with beautiful timing behind square leg

Harmison to Inzamam-ul-Haq, FOUR, too full, yorker length outside off and Inzy toe-ends with great timing to the extra-cover boundary
