[zMario]

Pakistan 331/2 at lunch

Yousuf 160* and Younis 122*

86 overs - Pakistan going at a run rate of 3.85 in the innings

 

[DotCom]

YK high score is 197 i think .. he has not made a 200? vs whom?

 

[zMario]

Pakistan's session - hopefully its our day too!

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Younis has made doubles before... 2 190s vs India and 1 200+ score

Yeah thought so...

we just need to keep going and going.. who knows we could now come
out with even some kind of lead...

 

[zMario]

Well, we should knock the 184 runs left easily

 

[shan]

at tea we will be at 450/2 and at the end of the day we will be at 550/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Younis has made doubles before... 2 190s vs India and 1 200+ score

Remember the classic 223 or something to win Pakistan the match?

 

[zMario]

Woohoo, Abdul Qadir in Pioneers of Cricket!

This is gonna be a good show

 

[zMario]

Remember the classic 223 or something to win Pakistan the match?

Wasn't that Yousuf? I was talking about Younis

 

[Uzzy]

YK high score is 197 i think .. he has not made a 200? vs whom?

Younis Khan has a high score of 267 vs India last year.

 

[zMario]

at tea we will be at 450/2 and at the end of the day we will be at 550/2

600/2 at end of the day - we'll go faster as the day goes by.

At 600/2, we can keep going, to 700, and when we get a lead of say 200, declare with 1 1/2 days left, and try to bowl England out

 

[zMario]

Younis Khan has a high score of 267 vs India last year.

Yeah - thats the 200 i was talking about - i think he only has 1 200, but 2 190s

 

[Hash]

This has been fantastic stuff from Pakistan. Another example to go on the growing list of 'egg on the face' for our doubters.

We needed to bat out the day and at the moment that is looking increasingly likely. The more runs we score the better the chance we have of squaring the series. Just keep going boys!

 

[iZeeshan]

at tea we will be at 450/2 and at the end of the day we will be at 550/2

I was thing 565 or 575 at the end of the day, no?

 

[sehban]

these two batsmen have to carry on for atleast another hundred runs for me..although pak is in amazin but after the old trafford massacre u never when will be a collapse on the cards...so i believe they have to carry for another 100 runs just to make sure even if pak collapses hopefully they wont collapse Inshallah but if they do they will still have some score to protect them....
but the way things look at the moment pak would be disappointed if they dont score 550+& kick england out of the game

 

[slix10]

Good stuff. Allhumdullililah.

Pat on the back for Yousuf and Younis.

 

[umarbeast]

Great batting by Yousuf and Younis Khan. 293 Run Partnership and still going. This the great fightback we were talking from Pakistan. Still hardwork left but at least we have a good platform.

Yousuf
Younis

 

[Hash]

I was thing 565 or 575 at the end of the day, no?

Well if we don't lose any more wickets we will certainly get more than 550!

At least 120 runs per session at the rate we are going!

 

[shan]

I was thing 565 or 575 at the end of the day, no?

wait i do my calculations again

 

[Rana]

well done pakistan, man Razzaq would have batted so well in these conditions!

 

[shan]

yes if we go at 4 an over we will get around 575 runs and 60 runs of lead

 

[Rana]

wait i do my calculations again

if we keep batting like this till tomorow and declare after 15 overs after lunch, inshallah we can win

 

[Solid Snake]

If we keep this up, we could be in a very good position at the end of the day INSHALLAH!

 

[iZeeshan]

Ramiz Raja jsut had to say something stupid! "Not a great spinner of the ball". The next ball they show, spins amazingly adn bowls the dumbitiod.

 

[DotCom]

Younis Khan has a high score of 267 vs India last year.
