That ball they picked looks completely NEW

This IS NOT FAIR
Eagle eyes might not be able to tell the difference. Oh well, its only Sajjid bowling, the harder the ball, the quicker races to the fence
 
Billy Doctrove has been handed the ball and he ambles over to his chum, Mr Hair, to have a chat. Hair looks down his nose at it as though it’s a dangerous grenade :))) , hands it cautiously back to Doctrove. Here comes the travelling salesman now, jogging in with a suitcase of gifts for all. All the players are having a cheeky drink, and off goes the cricket ball salesman. Master of polishing, Marcus Trescothick, rubs it furiously on his behind, and Paul Collingwood has a go to. Harmison eyes it with caution before flinging it back to the bowler and we can finally get back to the game
92.3 Hoggard to Mohammad Yousuf, no run, left alone outside off
Hoggard not happy with the shape of his ball
92.2 Hoggard to Mohammad Yousuf, no run, wider of the crease from Hoggard who spears this into the batsman’s off stump forcing a forward defence
92.1 Hoggard to Mohammad Yousuf, no run, right on the money, nicely bowled but easily defended
Just one slip for Hoggard now
End of over 92 (8 runs) - Pakistan 366/2

Mohammad Yousuf 173* (239b 21x4 2x6) SI Mahmood 18-3-83-0
Younis Khan 143* (231b 19x4) MJ Hoggard 24-3-82-1


91.6 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, 1 run, worked to leg
91.5 Mahmood to Younis Khan, 1 run, breaking news: a defensive shot. But still they can’t prevent the run
91.4 Mahmood to Younis Khan, no run
91.3 Mahmood to Younis Khan, FOUR, struggling to describe these shots. Rather like a short-arm pull, but played with a straighter bat, and timed quite perfectly. He is looking unstoppable
That's a new record for any Pakistan wicket against England. The previous was held by Javed Miandad and Salim Malik, who made 322 at Edgbaston in 1992
:D :14: :108: :105: :120:
 
Persoanlly I think Pakistan should speed up a little more, because it might get ugly in the end then.
 
What a hook - not a shot Yousuf usually plays
 
93.4 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, shot! Pulls this in front of square for a powerful four. Remarkable stroke
93.3 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, OHHH so close as Yousuf edges this lifted through first and third slip. No second slip there and Strauss rather shakes his head with a wry smile

Now thats fresh
 
.4 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, shot! Pulls this in front of square for a powerful four. Remarkable stroke
93.3 Mahmood to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, OHHH so close as Yousuf edges this lifted through first and third slip. No second slip there and Strauss rather shakes his head with a wry smile
93.2 Mahmood to Younis Khan, 1 run, turned into the leg side
93.1 Mahmood to Younis Khan, no run
End of over 93 (maiden) - Pakistan 370/2

Mohammad Yousuf 173* (245b 21x4 2x6) MJ Hoggard 25-4-82-1
Younis Khan 143* (231b 19x4) SI Mahmood 18-3-83-0


Andrew Miller informs Team Cricinfo that this is Younis and Yousuf's second triple-century partnership of the year - they got 319 at Lahore against India. What. A. Geek
:19: MASHALLAH

Congrats lads keep it Fresh Mashallah
 
What's wrong with england crying about changing the ball ? They were requesting the umpires yesterday too to change the ball and today again. Surely both the times the balls have been different. So what's the crying about ???
 
Cut away, but not in the gaps. We really need to be a little more aggressive.
 
a bit dissapointed if iwas a england fan with Hoggard..considering this is his home pitch..that he has looked ordinary with the ball.
 
94.2 Hoggard to Younis Khan, no run, flayed off the back foot but straight to Pietersen in the covers. Great shot for no run

This is clearly showing the Intent to Distry Mashallah keep the bat hammering

Wouldn't it be great if these two get triples and go past the record lankans set a few days ago. Inshallah they will.

Current partnership 348 runs, 80.1 overs, rr: 4.34 (Mohammad Yousuf 181, Younis Khan 148)
 
We keep seeing Richard Pyrah, English sub, in the Pakistan dressing room; what is he doing there? :13: Spy?? :> He looks so out of place sitting between Razzaq and some other random Pakistanis.
 
Pak 384/2 Now.. This is the highest parnership against ENgland BY Any Pakistan

No there is still 100 runs to go to break this record
 
Andrew Miller just cannot take his geek hat off. "This is now the fourth-highest stand in Tests against England, past Jack Fingleton and Don Bradman in 1936-37"
Mashallah Crossing those Legends

He might asking them for tips to how to get those batsman out????
 
94.5 Hoggard to Younis Khan, FOUR, full delivery outside the off stump but Younis just drives this down the ground through mid-on. Glorious shot…just a perfect on-drive to what was a perfectly reasonable delivery

:108: I love to see yousuf and younis get huge double centuries or even triple centuries ! INSHALLAH
 
95.3 Panesar to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, skips down the pitch and clobbers it over Steve Harmison at mid-on. Lucky! Very lucky
He deserves all the luck in the whole wide world.

95.6 Panesar to Mohammad Yousuf, FOUR, Yousuf mows this rather ungainly through midwicket. Still goes for four, mind
 
Pakistan needs to give monty a hammering he will remember for life. INSHALLAH yousuf and younis will give a lot of phainty to monty. INSHALLAH
