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

[street cricketer]

Virat Amir

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

moment of truth

 

[MMHS]

Ahahahahahahaha brilliant drive from Amir. Bet Arthur has made him work on his batting!!!

He was a far better natsman than this, when he opted to go for a few dollars more

 

[JaDed]

Woakes classic example of greed and inexperience.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasirs defence looks better than masoods.

 

[the Great Khan]

326 need another 14 to get to 340

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Aamir is the best left-hander in this PAK batting line-up

Haha but harsh

 

[Amjid Javed]

lets hope we can get 350 here!

poor end to the inns this!

 

[Hasan123]

He was a far better natsman than this, when he opted to go for a few dollars more

Yes he was. Gonna have to work on it. Needs some practice

 

[the Great Khan]

330 need 340

 

[Markhor]

That's a nice shot too. Gets 3.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Nice partnership

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

350 would be nice .........

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir so great to watch

 

[the Great Khan]

lets hope we can get 350 here!

poor end to the inns this!

cmon entirely expected after rahat and shafiq blew it yesterday!!

 

[Inswing]

come on guys just 17 runs more please

 

[London_Lahori]

Looking out the window, a bright cloudy day. The pitch is quicker so it's a nice bowling day.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Haha great straight drive from Shah.

 

[Hasan123]

Amir was a handy tailender back then. Don't know what happened

Agreed. Arthur likes his bowlers to be able to handle the bat. Think he will instruct amir to improve his batting if he hasn't already

 

[MMHS]

Wahab to bat at 11 in 2nd innings ......

 

[Rana]

Wahab needs to be moved down to number 11 for his own sake. Really has deteriorated as a batsman!

 

[dhump]

come on guys 17 more here.

 

[Shafi]

Amir looks better batsman than Shan Masood.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

good ...... take it till lunch

 

[yasir]

Not bad from the lads!! - no point of holding back

[Hasan123]

Yasir should bat ahead of Wahab. He has some technique at least, just needs to work on a few things and he can be a decent tailender

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir cuts and flicks very well

 

[Strike!]

We really have the worst tail.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab to bat at 11 in 2nd innings ......

Number 10 would be more appropriate

 

[marlonbrowndo]

good ...... take it till lunch

More than an hour till lunch..

 

[MMHS]

Wokes had 16 wickets in his previous 15 innings, now 6 & may be 7 in this - this is the unique quality of PAK team.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Woakes is getting it to swing considerably.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on Shah, need some boundaries

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great bowling from Woakes

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is a good bowling day.

Woakes now bowling in the channel and 3 beatens on a row.

 

[siri]

haahahahahahahahahahahahahah this is getting funnier now .i was shocked how everyone here were pressing the bandwagon yesterday and have already assumed that pakistan is going to win this test match .i knew that this was a below par score on a beautiful batting wicket .333 is nothing here and u guyssss r overhyping pakistan bowling line up .this is not uae .yasir shah will not get a single wicket here .u heard it here first

 

[Hasan123]

Cook bhai please take Woakes off after this over!

 

[Slog]

Rahat Ali, Imran Khan are duds with the bat

And in recent times Wahab has been equally bad even though in the past he was a bit more reliable with the bat

 

[yasir]

Amir is getting some of his batting rythum back, he was a potential Wasim Like batsmen 6 years ago, he had regressed a lot since his come back.

Let's hope he gets back to level before and beyond. Both of these are regular, if they bat gold for men in green [emoji12][emoji12]

Best bowler on show by far. Broad, Finn and Ball have looked very, very poor.

Haha excellent shot from Shah, zabardast.

 

[Rana]

beautiful bowling by woakes

 

[Red Devil]

It has started to swing today. Good news for Amir

 

[imshally81]

Another Bounadary

 

[Markhor]

Didn't Yasir bat at 7 in the Pakistan Cup ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

13 more runs needed here.

 

[Hasan123]

Woakes is an improved bowler. I didn't think he was good enough but he's improved massively

 

[imshally81]

Partnership: 21(17)

 

[street cricketer]

13 runs more.

 

[PakFan2010]

Why was Rahat Ali the night watchman? Amir and Shah are miles better.

 

[yasir]

There is definite swing in the air with clouds

To be fair today he got out to a beauty from Woakes, but Wahab really is capable of better. Got 54 in the 2015 World Cup vs Zimbabwe.

 

[Hasan123]

Didn't Yasir bat at 7 in the Pakistan Cup ?

I'm sure he opened in the Bangladeshi premier league

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

England made a blunder by not selecting a specialist spinner, in Tests one specialist spinner is a must.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Woakes has got the ball to swing quite a lot all game so far so lets hope our bowlers can as well.

 

[dhump]

come on guys stay positive we can get 13 more runs in.

 

[Markhor]

I'm sure he opened in the Bangladeshi premier league

Did he ?! Now that I'd love to have seen.

 

[Red Devil]

Any spinner would have been eaten alive by Misbah and YK

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

12 more to go .........

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Woakes is an improved bowler. I didn't think he was good enough but he's improved massively

He was good enough before as well, just needed more time.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Is it me or is there a lot more carry in the wicket today?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Wokes had 16 wickets in his previous 15 innings, now 6 & may be 7 in this - this is the unique quality of PAK team.

Nah....

This Woakes would have troubled any side.

You didn't account for the Woakes powering up.

He was amazing against SL.

Played 2 tests.

3 wickets for 9 runs in 2nd test (Eng bowled only once).

3 wickets in 3rd drawn test Lord's. Bowled just 2 overs in 2nd innings.

Now this.

Bowler got good.

 

[Slog]

To be fair today he got out to a beauty from Woakes, but Wahab really is capable of better. Got 54 in the 2015 World Cup vs Zimbabwe.

that 54 was ages ago\

since SL tour last year, Wahab has been Rahat ali level

 

[street cricketer]

Wokes had 16 wickets in his previous 15 innings, now 6 & may be 7 in this - this is the unique quality of PAK team.

He actually had a rough start to his career.

You are being a bit harsh on the guy.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Shan Masood should bat at number 11.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Is it me or there is a lot more carry in the wicket today?

Wicket is better today in every way.

 

[Hasan123]

He was good enough before as well, just needed more time.

I didn't see it. But he's gone away and worked on his pace and learnt how to bowl in test matches.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Very useful partnership so far

 

[MMHS]

Seriously impressed with Yasir's batting - may be he can be tried at 3 ..........

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Hasan123]

Did he ?! Now that I'd love to have seen.

It was a defensive tactic I think

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rahat Ali, Imran Khan are duds with the bat

And in recent times Wahab has been equally bad even though in the past he was a bit more reliable with the bat

The set-up of Wahab Riaz was quite good. Gentle out-swinger, followed by a mean inswinger at pace. Good enough to get most sub-continent batsmen out. Can't blame Wahab much there. Woakes has been pretty good in this innings so far.

[Amjid Javed]

11 more needed now!

 

[imshally81]

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Amir gone. 339. In the end it was a useful last wicket partnership but I wouldve wanted around 375
