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

[JibranAnsari]

There is nothing in the pitch. Pakistan must score 400.

 

[Hasan123]

Happy with the start so far

 

[#GreenRoars]

I haven't heard Akram's commentary yet, you said he is there.

Yes, he is there.

 

[Rana]

Nice approach by Sarfaraz. taking the game to England

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start here by our batsmen, sirfraz needs to keep being positive but not play any reckless shots, we need to get to 400 here and this partnership needs to get us there.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz should aim to see of this short ball barrage. Broad won't be able to keep it up for long as he was over bowled yesterday. [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] and me have noticed this.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

this is too easy..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another 4.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great timing Sarfraz

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Good start here by our batsmen, sirfraz needs to keep being positive but not play any reckless shots, we need to get to 400 here and this partnership needs to get us there.

Sarfaraz averages 47. That is not a slouch batting right there.

 

[Naim]

another from sarfi

 

[Rana]

Sarfaraz really playing a gem so far

 

[JaDed]

Ideal situation for Misbah to get his HS or better even a double ton here.

 

[Hasan123]

Nooo Sarfraz

 

[Inswing]

what a pathetic way to get out

 

[Markhor]

Well that's disappointing from Sarfraz, wasn't a great delivery but gets out after a good start.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Poor delivery and wicket gifted. Sarfi

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another soft dismissal. Poor poor shot.

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez
Shan
Sarfraz
Shafiq


Have all thrown there wickets away.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Terrible dismissal from Sarfraz. What's the point of playing quick when you'll get out? We need to stop getting so excited when someone comes in and tries to score off every ball. He had to get at least 20 more

 

[osee_bhai]

Darn, need our tail to hold out here. They have been useless lately.

 

[Markhor]

this is too easy..

Getting a bit harder now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz should be sacked for playing that shot. Irresponsible.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Gone, now Misbah should stop his tuk tuk, for God's sake play aggressively now or get ready to be bundled out under 350.

 

[Hasan123]

Misbah should take most of the strike

 

[Naim]

sarfaraz

 

[Rana]

soft dismisal sarfaraz

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfaraz really playing a gem so far

Lol nice gem. You said above that Misbah is playing too slow. This is what happens when you are over aggressive. Too bad our fans prefer to see some flashy shots over big scores

 

[JaDed]

Terrible by SArfaraz!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

misbah needs to go blitz now...

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah will take some time to start scoring here and our tail won't give him this time. May be another 10 runs.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Misbah should fire up now.

 

[Hasan123]

Gone, now Misbah should stop his tuk tuk, for God's sake play aggressively now or get ready to be bundled out under 350.

See of Broad and Woakes and than we should be targeting Ball and Finn.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz was looking good and showing great intent but that was so poor.

 

[osee_bhai]

Sarfraz would have toyed with Finn

 

[MMHS]

50% match fee deducted - rest 50% he should lose after dropping 3 sitters ...............

 

[Robert]

Five for The New Anderson.

Pakistan are in a good position here as the clouds have marched over and England must bat soon.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Woakes have been gifted wickets here.

 

[Shafi]

Really really disappointed out!!! Sarfraz was playing so good. Misbah should be attacking now

 

[Markhor]

Woakes with a beauty.

 

[Inswing]

Chris woakes

 

[Anchorman]

We're going to struggle to get to 350 here which is just about par.

Unless Misbah goes into beast mode.

And there goes Wahab!

 

[JibranAnsari]

8 down

 

[Muhammad10]

Handy little cameo by Sarfaraz. A poor way to get out though.

 

[Hasan123]

We won't last much longer looool.

Misbah should play a few shots now.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab disappointing.

 

[JaDed]

Oh my Wahab

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

New par score - 330

 

[JibranAnsari]

Can't bat can't bowl., such a useless cricketer is wahab.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

why is Wahab batting above Yasir? Poor stuff from him. Time for Misbah to hit now. Should look to just hit now

 

[Hasan123]

Hope Amir can return to his old batting form.

 

[Muhammad10]

Wahab goes soon after! Woakes is on fire, and Misbah will have to farm the strike and look to score now.

 

[Markhor]

Fair play Lord's. Applaud Amir onto the pitch though might have been a couple of boos.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sarfraz needs to stop throwing away his wicket like that. Seen him do that too many times now in all forms of cricket. As I say that, Woakes takes another and opens the flood-gates.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Ridiculous defensive tactics have let us down, we should have been 400 by now.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

misbah needs to attack now, no point hanging about...

 

[Inswing]

forget 400 can we even make 350 ?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Will be lucky to add another 10 to the total.

 

[MMHS]

This is why NWM is a poor strategy, particularly for teams that has Wahab at No. 8

 

[#GreenRoars]

I trust in Yasir, he can bat better than Amir, Wahab, Rahat

 

[Anchorman]

Interesting to see Amir come in ahead of Yasir who I believe is a much more capable batsman these days.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir over Yasir?

 

[castortroy]

The famous Pakistan tail

 

[yasir]

Lot of talk and walk of shame back to pavilion [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

[JibranAnsari]

Shouldn't have taken single

 

[dhump]

well with this tail this was always possible anyways I think 320-330 is ok we need to bowl on.

 

[Jabo]

A surprisingly good welcome for Amir

Doesn't look like 350 will be achievable

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ridiculous defensive tactics have let us down, we should have been 400 by now.

Your posts make me laugh.

 

[Markhor]

Amir's batting has regressed, I remember he got a fifty vs NZ in an ODI before his ban. Need him to stick around here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amirs batting has regressed.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sarfraz was scoring at a decent click. Soft dismissals throughout this innings though. Difference between a 400 and sub-par 300 score.

 

[Shafi]

forget 400 can we even make 350 ?

Forget 350, can we even score 320 unless Misbah plays some aggressively and score some runs

 

[aroor]

missing Zulfi uncle?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Broad seems angry at amir.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir hit on the head. Bad.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Amir ......... Four to Broad

 

[Hasan123]

Hope we get more runs like Amir's boundary just now.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Thanks for the new helmet, Amir is safe.

 

[Jabo]

Ooo and smile from Broad too

This will be good when Amir has the bowl

 

[ssuhaide]

So far Pakistan tail is 4 runs for 2 wickets.
