Eng v Pak: 2nd Test: Day 3 (Update Thread)

[BAADSHAH]

saeed anwar should come out of retirement!

 

[Usman Chadda]

YAY! Fox Sports have started showing the match! About time...

 

[UJ]

Bring back Salman Butt!

Shouldn't have been dropped in the first place

 

[iZeeshan]

Hopefully these two can bat on until tea. We desperately need them to. THey shouldn't throw away their wicket like last time. They have a good understanding, and hopefully they can take us to tea with at least 200 on the board.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

farhat was very hard at the all..should have waited for it!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shouldn't have been dropped in the first place

Exactly!

 

[UJ]

YK looked confortable in the first innings- he got out playing uppishly!

Something tells me he will make it count now

 

[iZeeshan]

Mohd Yousuf doesn't look his usual comfetable self.

 

[Billy]

Much better over from Hoggard.

I especially liked the off-cutter.

 

[DotCom]

It wasn't a loose shot by Farhat, he inside edged to shortleg. It was more of a good delivery.

nahin yaaar..

ball was short... he should have defended it or pulled it with disdain ..

he drove a ball that was too short.. and therefore inside edged it..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Younis Khan not looking good. Looking to defend far more than attack

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if we can get a good partnership till tea between these 2

 

[iZeeshan]

Gary Pratt onto the field for Strauss.

Monty bowling real well.

 

[Usman Chadda]

if we can get a good partnership till tea between these 2

We need to bat 2 days man!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

They just need to play it over by over..there is rain in afternoon in all.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good sweep shotfor a single.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rain should make its entrance now

 

[shan]

we don't want to lose another wicket today if we have to bat 2 days

 

[sehban]

fox sports is not showing the match again

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Yousaf and younis must play like they\did against india...inshallah!

 

[Usman Chadda]

fox sports is not showing the match again

Yep they have switched back to baseball

 

[iZeeshan]

Dani shud be peeting himsel right now. He should have bowled SO much better.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yousaf and younis must play like they\did against india...inshallah!

This is not India we are facing

 

[Pakistani tigers]

played well i thin there younis...good four!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

myk got 4

 

[Usman Chadda]

Panesar having a good time against us

 

[iZeeshan]

Awkward shot...very dangerous

 

[sehban]

man these retards i mean fox sports...pak cant lose another today i feel if they have any chance in this match

 

[Pakistani tigers]

sheesh a bit of low bounce there!

Chadda be a bit more positive yaara!

 

[iZeeshan]

276 runs behind. 1/2 hour to go before lunch.

 

[iZeeshan]

Well driven by Yousuf for 2.

 

[Usman Chadda]

sheesh a bit of low bounce there!

Chadda be a bit more positive yaara!

I am trying to be yaar. If these two play the whole day out, they would have done a good job

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 legbyes

panesar is lethal

 

[iZeeshan]

Another great delivery, 4 byes.

 

[shan]

I am trying to be yaar. If these two play the whole day out, they would have done a good job

good job? it will be amazing job

 

[KB]

Panesar extracting disconcerting bounce

 

[Pakistani tigers]

yk should play monty...yousaf unsure against moyo

 

[Usman Chadda]

Jones finiding it hard to keep to Panesar now. This is the second time Monty has gone for 4 byes!

 

[shan]

Another great delivery, 4 byes.

we need more of these balls so we can get free byes

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Yep they have switched back to baseball

Same prob for me but I talked to my cable operator and he said they were trying there best to fix it...

 

[Somali Pirate]

yk should play monty...yousaf unsure against moyo

 

[Pakistani tigers]

shot...4 yk puts a half volley awy=at through mid off!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

shot by myk

 

[iZeeshan]

Very well driven by MYK for 4.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Same prob for me but I talked to my cable operator and he said they were trying there best to fix it...

What is happening actually?

 

[shan]

Same prob for me but I talked to my cable operator and he said they were trying there best to fix it...

oh thank god they are trying to fix it

 

[Easa]

Lovely straight drive from Younis.

A half volley, but had to be put away.

76-2

 

[iZeeshan]

Surprised Sajid hasn't bowled yet. Wouldn be surprised if Harmy was brought back on for Hoggy.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Atherton loves yk's fighing qualtiies...saying he is a tough pathan who will fight on and on! Come on shearaaa!

gets a single! dangerous shot!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hoggard not getting swing? It is rather uncharacteristic of Hoggard to be whacked around the park like this

 

[deviously~fading~away]

What is happening actually?

Some "technical problem" in broadcasting

 

[iZeeshan]

Good delivery, almost out there. Single for MYK

 

[sehban]

the way monty is bowling...i believe it will be hard for pak to save this match..but still there is hope & then there's rain....pak should really to play over by over,session by session they hsould not look at the score.....y didnt afridi & kaneria didnt get any spin on this pitch?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Surprised Sajid hasn't bowled yet. Wouldn be surprised if Harmy was brought back on for Hoggy.

After what MoYo did to Sajid, I wont be surprised if Strauss doesnt bring him into the attack

 

[Usman Chadda]

Some "technical problem" in broadcasting

Oh ok

 

[iZeeshan]

So rain is a confimation then? There will be some rain?

Kaley megha paani to barsaao

 

[Bilsher007]

Farhat had started to release some sort of pressure and there he goes out playing a typically a poor shot ! I don't know what to expect now...

 

[Pakistani tigers]

we need lunch so we can reassess! moyo facing Monty!

 

[iZeeshan]

Lightly swept for a single by MYK

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhat had started to release some sort of pressure and there he goes out playing a typically a poor shot ! I don't know what to expect now...

Expect a 200-un partnership between Younis and MoYo

 

[sehban]

So rain is a confimation then? There will be some rain?

Kaley megha paani to barsaao

hope so...

 

[Pakistani tigers]

some rain expected in afternoon...it is not bright...if we could have rain after lunch and then tomorrow morning that would be ideal

 

[iZeeshan]

I don't expect anything. Just wait till something happens.

 

[shan]

some rain expected in afternoon...it is not bright...if we could have rain after lunch and then tomorrow morning that would be ideal

we shoud not expect to much from rain

 

[iZeeshan]

Saj on...

 

[Easa]

MYK and Moyo need to survive until lunch.

 

[ShowStopper]

Hoggy being tonked around good to see that

 

[Pakistani tigers]

agree shan but any help with our cause will be g48..lovely 4 thru mid on yk

 

[iZeeshan]

lunch easa? the day...or at least tea

 

[Easa]

Lovely on drive by MYK.

 

[iZeeshan]

First ball driven for 4

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sajid Mamood on for a short spell

Testing times for Younis/MoYo

 

[shan]

lunch easa? the day...or at least tea

agree

 

[Easa]

lunch easa? the day...or at least tea

Yes, but the first target should be lunch.

We can play session by session.

 

[Usman Chadda]

lunch easa? the day...or at least tea

I believe they have to bat out the whole day. We dont need Afridi and Razzaq in today

 

[iZeeshan]

No ball for Sajid..good ball regardless

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Still 260 runs to avoid Innings defeat...Hmmm Can we do this?

 

[Pakistani tigers]

misfield by harmi..three runs to yk

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

3 more for misefield

 

[Usman Chadda]

The field has become a bit defensive for Sajid. Just two slips and a backword point
