England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 2

[street cricketer]

Those two men at it again.

England had a nice little phase when they were going at a comfortable pace. And Amir started causing problems although was unlucky not to pick wickets. But Yasir has exposed the fragile middle order of the English team here. Root will be kicking himself for throwing it away.

Amir and Yasir will always be plugging away at the English. But Rahat or Wahab need to support them. I would've picked Imran personally. If Pak batting can come to party consistently, England will be at a serious risk of losing the series due to its fragile batting with inexperience and fighting for their places - Hales, Vince, Ballance, Moeen.

 

[blue_champion]

Bhairow Singh aka Baristow will not last too long here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bairstow will go after Yasir

 

[blue_champion]

England should not get into a shell...they need to counter attack

 

[Hasan123]

Keep it tight against Bairstow and he could make a mistake like Root did

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow will go after Yasir

And hopefully make a mistake

 

[hur rizvi]

Bairstow is the key wicket here. He can run away with the game or If Pakistan dismiss him cheaply they will be well on top

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

England need to breakdown Yasir by scoring fast and putting him off his length to have any chance.

Dude is running away with the game.

Impact game changer till now.

 

[street cricketer]

Bairstow has been in the form of his life.

But the English hardly face quality spinners. Will be a good test for him and Moeen bhai.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I wouldve started with Amir over Rahat

 

[hur rizvi]

RAhat again starts on Cook's pads

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat keep it right please!!!

 

[asyed]

Botham is soo bitter no credit to yasir shah

He has always been like this in his life.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Rahat as usual starts of with a rubbish delivery

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahat kuch to kar yaar

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow has been in the form of his life.

But the English hardly face quality spinners. Will be a good test for him and Moeen bhai.

Wahab will cause Moen problems hopefully with the short balls.

 

[Saeed]

Why isn't Amir bowling?

 

[hur rizvi]

Dropped?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Oooh its Younis. Dropped or didnt carry?

 

[Hasan123]

Woww suprised that didn't carry

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuww, just fell short.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yup didnt carry. Younis wont drop it

 

[Hasan123]

Dropped?

Didn't carry

 

[IcedCoffee]

Shouldn't the slip come up a bit on a slower wicket?

 

[hur rizvi]

Again on cook's pads. Is there a MAgnet in cook's pads Rahat?

 

[Syed1]

Need to get Cook

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shouldn't the slip come up a bit on a slower wicket?

Its not that slow. Younis will stand as close as possible Im sure

 

[Hasan123]

Amir has already bowled 11 overs, so not suprised he's not bowling yet.

 

[Justcrazy]

Even Zulfi baba would have been better choice than Wahab. Both with the bat as well as bowl

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Rahat easily helping Cook to get to his 100

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bairstows gonna try sweeping or hitting down the ground now to Yasir

 

[Sarfarazian92]

No yasir no

 

[marlonbrowndo]

First bad ball and Bairstow hits it. He will go after the spinner

 

[hur rizvi]

DAngerous bairstow. He is in sublime form

 

[Rana]

Rahat just needs 2-3mph more in his pace, he can become lethal

 

[haris93]

Again on cook's pads. Is there a MAgnet in cook's pads Rahat?

Acc to rahat Every batsman is right handed

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Really nice drift from Yasir.

 

[Hasan123]

Quality ball

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz dont drop it!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuuww, awesome delivery Shah.

 

[hur rizvi]

Sarfraz poor keeping continues

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Try getting them 6 down before 230

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Sarffy with his Kami instincts

 

[mz123]

Try getting them 6 down before 230

id say 7 down

 

[JibranAnsari]

Criminal drops will cost us 100 extra runs.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat with the obligatory short wide crap every over. Bowl full!

 

[hur rizvi]

Rahat has even worse control than Wahab

 

[BleedGreen]

loose deliveries allowing bairstow to settle

 

[imshally81]

Better line

[Syed1]

Rahat and Wahab are utterly useless

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bring back Amir now with Yasir

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to get Cook out here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I hope junaid finds his form in the next season , he still averages better than all three quicks in the team.

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat and Wahab are spray guns. Imran Khan has to come in in the next game.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Holy crap. Rahat is useless

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

seems like Aamir and Yasir will have to bowl 30+ overs in this innings. Others are just useless. IK is a big miss here!

 

[Hasan123]

Bring back Amir now with Yasir

He's already bowled 11 overs. Needs to be kept back.

 

[hur rizvi]

TAke Rahat off FGS

 

[Hasan123]

We may as well give one of team man or comando a bowl.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I would rather have an economical Zulfiqar Babar than this useless Wahab Riaz.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

eng fighting back, need to get the bear out...

 

[Shafi]

England series could be farewell of overhyped players like Hafeez, Wahab & Rahat

 

[#GreenRoars]

Amir back into attack.

 

[street cricketer]

Still can't believe we made a Bradman out of Ballance during our last tour

 

[Rana]

5* test match here boys!

 

[Ab Fan]

This is a crucial juncture of the game. This pair can do lots of damage to the Pakistan team here.

Pak need a wicket or else they will end up with a decent lead.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan would do well to keep england under 400.

 

[BleedGreen]

match slipping away

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to break this dangerous partnership.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Aamir and Yasir blocking the runs.

 

[Arsal_AK]

2 maidens on the trot. Good stuff.

 

[Muhammad10]

Better control with the ball. Good to see.

 

[imshally81]

Yes
