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

[The Last Of The Stars]

Ball will swing regardless of the pitch.. provided the air is right for swing conditions. i.e. still air.

Bowling action matters as well, especially the wrist position in it.

 

[On_the_up]

Finn all over the place, well mostly down leg side.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

3 more to survive

Cut it out, brother.

 

[On_the_up]

And thats lunch

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

This is ridiculous from Younus Khan, should play pulls and hooks, instead of defending with his body, can injure himself.

 

[On_the_up]

Even session for both teams.

 

[Theo_14]

Decent. Afternoon session should be easier for Pakistan.

 

[MMHS]

Astala wista - office time.

Even session I guess - MoHa could have won it.

 

[pak4life]

Proper test cricket morning. These two look settled and batting should get even easier. Big hundreds on the cards for these two unless they make same mistake as the openers.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

The platform is set, 400 on the cards at least.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ball will swing regardless of the pitch.. provided the air is right for swing conditions. i.e. still air.

Yeah.

That's why I said good bowling on this pitch and conditions.

Conditions don't aid swing much here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Decent start. Hafeez really threw it away though

 

[Amjid Javed]

England session with the 2 wickets (needless dismissal for our openers) - We need to bat well for rest of day to get a solid hold into this match.

 

[street cricketer]

Even session.

Pak should be a bit disappointed for losing two wickets on a very benign pitch but on the plus side, only Woakes has looked threatening of sorts and England will be nervy if this partnership extends a bit more closer to tea.

 

[Markhor]

76-2 at Lunch. Steady start, need a couple of big innings on a pitch with no demons.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

okish start....TBH I was expecting a lot worse.

300+ should be the realistic target here.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Overall an excellent session by our standards, only just lost the openers and we should be looking to get a move on after lunch.

 

[Markhor]

Imran Khan interview during the lunch break if you're watching on Sky.

 

[Muhammad10]

A decent first session. Need to focus on building larger partnerships, in shaa Allah.

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

Not a bad session for Pakistan. though it could have been better.

 

[hussain.r97]

Not a bad start, Hafeez really should have kicked on though. Real soft dismissal.

 

[imranyounus]

England have slight edge need to play harder for next 2 sessions

 

[yasir]

Woaks was more successful mainly because he is swing bowler not seam... Pakistan has picked Rahat over Imran for same reason, he can swing where as Imran is seamer... Plus extra pace...

Swing bowlers are more successful in England, you get clouds here and there anyway... Absence of Jimmy is good but Pakistani openers did not cash in the opportunity... Shan looked lot more disappointing than I imagined [emoji20][emoji20][emoji20]

If anyone would have given 76/2 at lunch for Pak batting at start of series, we would b greatful. As everyone was expect our team to collapse and score card of 30/4.
So it's decent start, time for azhar, YK, Misbah n Asad to take advantage

 

[Markhor]

So this is why Atherton was in Pakistan.

 

[Syed1]

So this is why Atherton was in Pakistan.

Nope, its a Sky interview.

 

[Hawkeye]

Yeah, that's a given and obvious.

 

[jusarrived]

Good start for Pak , middle order should take advantage

On now. This is Part 1.

 

[90MPH]

Bowlers practising hard at the nets during Lunch.

Imran Khan looked in good rhythm.

 

[90MPH]

I have to say while Lords is full it's sad to see very few Pakistanis at the ground. Must be 99% English fans.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

It will only get easier for us now

 

[BleedGreen]

another 200 runs today would be nice

 

[ExplicitAI]

Lunch is over now it's Broad to Azhar

 

[Hasan123]

A good session for us here and we will be in the driving seat

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good session of positive and solid batting needed from AA and YK here.

 

[Abhilash93]

Hafeez scored 40! How

Is the pitch flat or just that Anderson is not playing ?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Thats the thing about Younis. Looks to score off almost every delivery and rotates strike so damn well

 

[Syed1]

Hafeez scored 40! How

Is the pitch flat or just that Anderson is not playing ?

He had a catch dropped in the slips

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Mr. Azhar Ali, we know it's a Test match, but please you can also take singles, it's allowed.

 

[Syed1]

Thats the thing about Younis. Looks to score off almost every delivery and rotates strike so damn well

Playing at a SR of thrice that of Azhar Ali.

Both have played nearly the same amount of balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Could be sliding down leg. This will be a massive massive blow

 

[LastManstanding]

Looks not out

 

[On_the_up]

Azhar review

THis is big

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar needs to show some intent in scoring runs, cant just keep blocking all day! rotate the strike atleast!

 

[On_the_up]

Umpires call

 

[Hasan123]

Azhar gone.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What rubbish, this was missing.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Crap!!!! Thats barely even touching. Very unlucky

 

[Speedster1]

Going down leg?

 

[Hasan123]

That was unlucky tbh. Need misbah to step up here.

 

[Syed1]

What is this umpiring?

 

[On_the_up]

Big blow for Pakistan.

Eng on top now.

Yk and Misbah, over to you again guys.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

But Azhar Ali was asleep in his crease, virtually, got stunned by a yorker out of no where.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar wasnt doing much at the crease, sorry he has to bat better then this in rest of series,

Pakistan in some trouble now!

 

[ExplicitAI]

That was horrible!

 

[Red Devil]

Awful umpiring smh

 

[Seen Sheen]

I am sure umpire got convinced by Azhar's stumble. Looked highly ungainly but still live it looked to be going down.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor decision in 1st place, but with umpires call your a sitting duck!

 

[On_the_up]

38-0

77-3 on a flat pitch

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

 

[shah_1]

Poor game by Azhar

 

[Syed1]

Always hated this Joel Wilson. He was atrocious in the Windies as well the last we were there, and again when we were in SL..

 

[Junaids]

Big test for Misbah - is he a total liability or can he score against the old ball?

 

[LastManstanding]

Awful umpiring smh

What does smh stand for?

 

[sully3]

Azhar has to do better then that against a yorker. Awful way to get out and now england are going to test him with the delivery all summer.


Whats the point of having your bat lift so high when all you are doing is trying to block anyway.

 

[castortroy]

Fans actually thought our brittle battling line up will come good lol.

 

[JaDed]

Terrible!

 

[Mamoon]

Harsh call by the umpire. You don't give that out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor batting by azhar. Deserved to get out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

As per usual Misbah and YK have to try and bail pakistan out of a hole!

 

[JaDed]

What does smh stand for?

shakes my head.

 

[castortroy]

Shocking batting line with no one bar yk capable of scoring big

 

[Red Devil]

What does smh stand for?

Shaking my head.

 

[LastManstanding]

Harsh call by the umpire. You don't give that out.

Rules are rules.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wrist slitting has started

 

[Seen Sheen]

Always hated this Joel Wilson. He was atrocious in the Windies as well the last we were there, and again when we were in SL..

Dharmasena was the umpire on this occasion.

 

[Muhammad10]

We are in a bit of trouble here. Azhar's wicket a big blow.
