England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 1

[Mamoon]

Pakistan should aim for 100/1 in this session.

 

[Red Devil]

They'll obviously bowl bouncers at Shan after what happened in the UAE series

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez could be serving plenty of humble pie to his haters later.

 

[FreakCricket]

shan has a weird way of leaving the ball

 

[Mamoon]

Masood is so bad against short pitched bowling, he makes Raina look like Ponting.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think Masood will get plenty of short stuff here and during series as he doesnt handle it well.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Seems they have made a plan of bouncers against Shaan.

 

[Mamoon]

Cook needs to give Finn the ball while it is still hard.

 

[imshally81]

England definitely missing Anderson here

Shehzad inspired more confidence than Masood tbh.

 

[FreakCricket]

broad is world class

 

[Amjid Javed]

Decent discapline shown by opener so far

 

[Amjid Javed]

broad is world class

Hes the one bowler we need to respect and see off.

 

[Asim2Good]

as long as Masood perform for team, who cares how his batting style looks

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Hafeez should smash some, Masood should join him as well.

 

[Hasan123]

Hope Masood can improve

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez should smash some, Masood should join him as well.

Shan seems a bit nervous and worried about the bouncer

 

[JilaWatan]

Its his ability that's in question, not his style.

 

[daytrader]

Good start, initial nerves are out of the way

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Pakistan should aim for 100/1 in this session.

Why should Pakistan give away a wicket?

 

[FreakCricket]

Hafeez should smash some, Masood should join him as well.

not your t20s

For overseas PPers who can't watch on TV - here's radio commentary from TMS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxwhW4uIvEA

 

[MMHS]

Without seem movement, this English attack'll struggle. Ball is absolute gun barrel straight with new ball.

 

[FreakCricket]

hafeez has shown improvements, ball nipping in and he is playing with some ease unlike past

 

[Pete Rose]

Shan Masood resembles a refined version of fawad alam

 

[Asim2Good]

Its his ability that's in question, not his style.

he is still there, isn't he ?

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez is looking more confident but Shan is still very nervous

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

not your t20s

I know it's a Test match, brother.

 

[Anchorman]

Decent start.

 

[JilaWatan]

he is still there, isn't he ?

He's clearly struggling.

 

[FreakCricket]

why shan is still struggling ?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Hafeez is looking more confident but Shan is still very nervous

I agree.

 

[Hasan123]

Without seem movement, this English attack'll struggle. Ball is absolute gun barrel straight with new ball.

See of Broad and we should be able to score of the rest of the bowlers

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hafeez with a nervy looking start made this batting pitch and day looks daunting. the sun is out and a very good day for batting.. good toss to win... if they keep wickets in hand till lunch, pak will score 400+ in the 1st innings..

 

[MABA]

Hafeez got lucky there

 

[imshally81]

Dropped?

[#GreenRoars]

[Arsal_AK]

[Dr_Bassim]

Dropped Hafeez hahahah

 

[Pete Rose]

Well, there's Hafeez's good luck

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Dropped! Thank God

 

[Mamoon]

Tough one.

 

[MABA]

Fielder palmed it, should have been taken

 

[Asim2Good]

He's clearly struggling.

he ll settle down, give him time

 

[Hasan123]

Middle order will enjoy batting on this surface

 

[Jabo]

Dropped

 

[ask_analyse_act]

hafeez has some luck with him

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wonder who will give in 1st hafeez swiping outside offstick or will broad start attacking the stumps?

 

[Statsman]

Which channel in India is showing this?

 

[Mamoon]

Broad gaining some rhythm now.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Did England just drop a catch

Pakistanis well and truly have gotten under their skins

 

[FreakCricket]

OMG HAFEEZ cannot play a straight one

 

[yasir]

What the hell was that Hafeez, why fishing so early[emoji84][emoji84][emoji84]

Dropped

 

[Amjid Javed]

1st chance goes down! Hafeez needs to make them pay!

 

[Pete Rose]

Pakistani players for some reason get under more pressure when surviving a chance.

 

[Hasan123]

England fielding can be brilliant one day and awful the next. Don't consider there fielding to be up there with South Africa's Australia and Indias

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hafeez got a chance, i hope hope and hope he will convert this chance into 100.

 

[Naim]

hafeez edged and droped in slip from vince

 

[MMHS]

See of Broad and we should be able to score of the rest of the bowlers

That I can't tell - last time I recall at Lord's (before that August '10 Test), Watson & North took 6fers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAK batsmen has unique quality to unleash beast out of part-timers.

One dropped - start counting. The side dropping less'll win the Series.

 

[FreakCricket]

same old mistake by prof, imagine if hes a prof what subject will he teach ?

Pakistani batsmen binding time till Moeen gets the ball.

 

[MABA]

Off topic but pepsi loves to spam their logo all over Pakistan's kit. Look on top of Hafeez's shoulder, they even have on there.

It's a demonstration of poor batting talent and not understanding how this is not the UAE

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

How did Hafeez edged one to the slip on this flat track?

 

[Abid Z]

Hafeez is a positive player, bound to give the odd chance but if he gets to 50 that'll be fine.

 

[Hasan123]

Broad gaining some rhythm now.

See him off and I think we will score of the rest of the attack.

 

[Syed2015]

Just a matter of time till Shan departs.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hafeez got lucky.

Can he make something of it?

I doubt it.

 

[JilaWatan]

Hahaha after some dot balls hafeez goes for the shot and edges it. Bet he's going back in his shell

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Indeed.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Four was On. It was a drivable deliviery but Hafeez could not execute his shot properly.

Was a tough chance but in modern day cricket you have to take those.


Hafeeeezzzz now pounce on to the opportunity and make it count.
