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

[KB]

Your watching two of the best cover drivers in the game at the moment.

 

[Saj]

4 more thank you very much. Another cover drive for Kamran to a very slow ball from Collingwood.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well picked by akmal, that was a slower ball and smashed for 4 through covers

 

[Easa]

Beautiful cover drive

 

[Sid100]

4 for akmal thorough extra cover and moves to 54*

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Im suprised Bell hasn't been used today with the ball...

england probably want to save the feigning of catches for tomorrow

 

[Easa]

Flicked away for a single.

390-6, 4 overs remain

 

[iZeeshan]

Great game right now, really mad I am missing it because of my stupid link

 

[ShowStopper]

Your watching two of the best cover drivers in the game at the moment.

Because we are drivers too.
Choka by Kami

 

[Saj]

390 for 6

4 overs left in the day. A day England probably expected to dominate, but have had a rude awakening.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

clipped through legside for a single and kami keeps the strike

Pakistan 390-6

 

[Easa]

england probably want to save the feigning of catches for tomorrow

)

 

[shan]

will we get 400 or play for close

 

[Sid100]

whats the highest, is it 270 something by zaheer abbass???

 

[Easa]

Yousaf's been out there for 400 minutes, almost 7 hours.

 

[ShowStopper]

390 for 6

4 overs left in the day. A day England probably expected to dominate, but have had a rude awakening.

Cricinfo says 5 overs to go.

 

[iZeeshan]

great shot by Akmal again, this guy is really looking to move on!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

will we get 400 or play for close

or we could do both

 

[iZeeshan]

Yes there are 5 overs left...

 

[Bilsher007]

It sure was a intelligent decision to send kamran ahead of afridi, as we all see the results are fruitful . Now all we need to do is finish at stumps 400 /6 at least and come back tommorow and chase down the trail of 128 runs and build up quick 100 runs lead by afternoon session on the fourth day INSHALLAH.

Come on yousuf bhai i now want you to play for triple century ! INSHALLAH.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another single taken by kami

391-6

akmal 55

moyo 169

 

[Easa]

Uneven bounce again, would not want to be chasing or surviving on the last day

 

[shan]

still 137 runs behind

 

[Saj]

whats the highest, is it 270 something by zaheer abbass???

274 by Zaheer Abbas in 1974

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

moyo caught off guard by another unevenly bouncing delivery that becomes a bouncer

 

[shan]

Uneven bounce again, would not want to be chasing or surviving on the last day

thats why moyo should must make over 250+

 

[Sid100]

we should get 400, 4 overs, 10 runs to get

 

[ShowStopper]

Come on yousuf bhai i now want you to play for triple century ! INSHALLAH.

Me too

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

england now put a catcher at short leg but covers are less "covered" now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and as expected akmal takes a single through that area

 

[KB]

If I am not mistaken Yosuuf so far has not given a chance this innings.

 

[Easa]

274 by Zaheer Abbas in 1974

And what an innings that was

 

[Saj]

Another bouncer to MY. Yet again he lets it go over his head.

 

[iZeeshan]

easy singles coming for Pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think it was 1971?

 

[shan]

If I am not mistaken Yosuuf so far has not given a chance this innings.

you are right

 

[Easa]

If I am not mistaken Yosuuf so far has not given a chance this innings.

He hasn't.

What another beautiful shot

 

[Schiller]

And what an innings that was

even if you were double yur age you couldn't have seen it

 

[Saj]

wow ! It may be late in the day and MY is tired, but he's played yet another wonderful cover drive for 4.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

amazing well timed for 4 by moyo through the covers

he is onto 174

397-6

 

[Easa]

Such timing and elegance

 

[Sid100]

4 fo MY well played through the covers

 

[ShowStopper]

And what an innings that was

Care to elaborate a bit on that inning?

 

[Easa]

even if you were double yur age you couldn't have seen it

Did not see it live, mian. I have hilites of it.

 

[iZeeshan]

Great shot by Yousuf, brilliantly times, Hoggy baby aint gonna stop that

 

[Saj]

Yousuf 174 not out. His 4th highest test score.

 

[Easa]

Care to elaborate a bit on that inning?

His first test ton and he made it a double, nearly a triple.

 

[Sid100]

3 overs until the end of play

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

moyo visibly looking tired hopefully he can finish up this day and then get a well deserved rest

 

[Easa]

Pietersen on to bowl

 

[UJ]

KP onto bowl now

 

[Schiller]

what is his highest?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and kevin pietersen comes into bowl

 

[ShowStopper]

Plunkett to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, touch of outswing and Yousuf times it supremely to the extra cover boundary; he opened the face so well, hardly appeared to hit the ball yet it flew across the turf for four despite a valiant dive from Hoggard on the boundary

Just one word "CLASS"

 

[Saj]

Pietersen comes onto bowl.

Single to Kamran followed by an appeal for lbw.

 

[Sid100]

i hope we dont get out to pietersson now that hes bowling

 

[Easa]

Big appeal, not out!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

what is his highest?

223 at lahore last year vs this very team

 

[iZeeshan]

Pietersin is bowling? Wow, that is ultimate low

 

[shan]

is somebody out? huge appeal

 

[Bilsher007]

What's the highest individual score by a pakistani batsman in a test series here in england ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

big appeal but going high

 

[iZeeshan]

Yousuf should trash him like a monkey...

 

[Easa]

what is his highest?

223

 

[Sid100]

thank god that wasnt out

 

[ShowStopper]

Current partnership 97 runs, 22.3 overs, rr: 4.31 (Mohammad Yousuf 38, Kamran Akmal 57)
Mashallah it never felt like its gonna be another near 100 run partnership.

 

[UJ]

OUT...KP gets Akmal!!!

 

[Saj]

aaah ! Loose shot by Kamran to a nothing ball. Caught behind.

 

[Easa]

Akmal gone!

Pietersen strikex

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Akmal is out to Piterson.. wat the hell !!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o god! akmal caught behind!....

 

[iZeeshan]

very close one, pietersin aint half bad

 

[ShowStopper]

Yousuf should trash him like a monkey...

Idon't think at this time of the day he should do that.

 

[the_game]

Pietersen broke it!

 

[Sid100]

akmals out, oh nooooooooooooo

 

[shan]

just 2 over left in the day and we lose another wicket

 

[Easa]

Not happy with that airy fairy shot, Akmal goes for a well made 58

 

[iZeeshan]

Akmal gone! ouch that really hurts! just 4 overs before stums and it was out

 

[the_game]

THE BEAST!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sigh...akmal gone for 58

pakistan 399-7 and afridi walks on plz dont get out afridi mere bhai
