Eng v Pak: 2nd Test: Day 1 [Update Thread]

Here comes Kevin Pietersen, into a situation that could be very much to his liking. But still there's some shennanigans going on in that hospitality box. Footballers, pah! They have no manners :)):)):))


It looks like Strauss was being distracted by the reflection off the windows. Shades of Dicky Bird's outburst a decade or so ago:P
 
Peitersen taking heel of a time to get ready, he too has problems with the background in the stands.

28.2 Abdul Razzaq to Strauss, OUT, and what do you know? The very next delivery, Strauss is gone. And would you believe it, it was a nice tight line across his bows that grazed the edge of his bat! I might have mentioned he was bowling too wide beforehand, but I won't bang on about it
AJ Strauss c Kamran Akmal b Abdul Razzaq 42 (85b 6x4 0x6) sr: 49.41
A hold-up in play as Strauss is dazzled by a reflection from a sliding door in a hospitality box. That's Peter Reid up there!
28.1 Abdul Razzaq to Strauss, no run, and Razzaq resumes with another wide one. Wasn't called but might as well have been for all the chance of England's batsmen following it
 
stauss was asking the glass doors to be shut as he was distracted due to the glare reflected off them. After that he edged the ball

i think strauss told him on his way back to the pavillion
 
razzler bowl short of a length to kp and moving away! he will nic it as it will grow big on him.just dont bowl it on his legs!
 
And there go my watching privelesges again...
Cook looking pretty good at the crease.
 
TIME OUT:

Where did everyone go? Has all u lost hope in Pakistan? Mario? Showstopper? Easa?
 
OMG Razzaq just bowled 92? Wow! And the Samjhota Express is in to the team now..
 
lol both postd at same time...anyway his last one was in at 81 so how the hell did he do that lol!
 
32.6 Abdul Razzaq to Cook, no run, bingo
32.5 Abdul Razzaq to Cook, no run, outside off stump. Money on the next ball being in the same place ...


He need to keep this going.
 
Danish Kaneria to Pietersen, FOUR, Pietersen winds up and thwacks the ball second bounce over midwicket to take England ahead. Kaneria has been bowling well but it’s hard when the batsmen is intent on smacking the ball

This is just perfact setting for KP
 
Dam we are bowling to wide of the off Stump. that won't get you a wicket in test Cricket will it?

Mohammad Sami to Cook, 1 run, wide of off stump but even Cook has had enough and he drives to the sweeper out in the deep cover region
Mohammad Sami to Pietersen, FOUR, bouncer which Pietersen shaped to hook but totally lost sight of the ball which hit him rather than the other way round and arced over the wicketkeeper’s head. Not much is going right for the Pakistanis
And some bad luck:(
