England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 22-26, 2016 | Day 1

[On_the_up]

Very good over but need a 3rd man and more slips early on. Ball is swinging

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

how many slips we have?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Both bowlers getting good shape. Should put a 4th slip for Cook

 

[Naim]

swing for amir good to see

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

what ....... no slips?

 

[Asim2Good]

hopefully we ll reach score of 8 after 5 overs

 

[On_the_up]

Nearly got through Rahat. swing from him as well.

 

[Third Man]

Good swing for Rahat too

 

[Inswing]

Wow rahat MashALLAH

 

[Fahdi]

Good swing from both

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good stuff from Rahat too

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good bowling Rahat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cook knocking in edges on his bat in 1st over there, our bowlers need to maintain good control here, no easy hit me balls!

 

[JilaWatan]

Nice line

 

[#GreenRoars]

This field set.

Why no aggression Misbah?

This word doesn't exist in Misbah's dictionery.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good over.

 

[Naim]

good over

 

[On_the_up]

4 slips and a gully for Cook now.

Good thinking

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good to see 4 slips. And bowl a bit fuller

 

[Strike!]

Now they get in the 4th slip.

 

[Naim]

another man in slips

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good to see some swing for a change

 

[IAJ]

This is the problem, good bowling but still 8 runs in first over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pitch it up a little.

 

[On_the_up]

Excellent teasing line from Amir.

Hope no one drops a catch if it comes.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is the problem, good bowling but still 8 runs in first over.

One was edged.

 

[#GreenRoars]

5th ball was good one, correct line. He should target this line more.

 

[On_the_up]

2 maidens in a row.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Swing but the length isn't good enough.

 

[#GreenRoars]

This is the problem, good bowling but still 8 runs in first over.

And still 8 runs in 3 overs.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

what you reckon eng will get? 400?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good running.

 

[JilaWatan]

I sense a wicket from amir

 

[Saeed]

Need to bowl more closely to his body or he will keep leaving them.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is hales the best opener in england after Cook ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahattttt, a little more focus on your line please.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Going down. A bit too straight

 

[the Great Khan]

Sounds like a good batting pitch. Expect a big score from England today. But hopeful we can peg them back and apply pressure.

 

[yasir]

Amir bowl 2/3 feet short, force him to drive with four slips [emoji19][emoji19][emoji19]

[Third Man]

The camera angle seems to have changed from the lords match. This angle somehow makes the bowlers look more threatening.

 

[On_the_up]

Was a single in the end but not taken.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And it's a

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat bowling the right length but a bit too straight

 

[JibranAnsari]

The swing won't last for long. Need to get two wickets.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

this is manchester, weather not guaranteed, anything above 400, pak in trouble..

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Amir seems to hv deteriorated big time

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol almost got him. Didn't swing

 

[hur rizvi]

Poor lengths so far

 

[On_the_up]

Amir to Hales for the first time.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Needs to bowl a bit fuller, Amir

 

[Saeed]

Hales will get out to Amir.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Amir seems to hv deteriorated big time

Bit like Dhoni don't you think

 

[#GreenRoars]

England playing carefully.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Bit like Dhoni don't you think

but Dhoni still is world class not Amir

 

[hur rizvi]

NEed to bowl a bit fuller because pitch is slow

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good length from Rahat

 

[shah_1]

Amir bowling poorly

 

[Pete Rose]

This looks good, I would like to see Rahat bowl to cook. Bit of late swing there.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[shah_1]

Rubbish ball

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yaar don't bowl short

 

[hur rizvi]

Rahat has bowled better lengths

 

[On_the_up]

Short and wide, hit me ball and Cook obliged.

 

[yasir]

Amir is still 2/3 feet short, fuller length would have done more damage. We are wasting new ball

[hur rizvi]

This one is rubbish though

Halawa, short and wide [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

[hur rizvi]

I would like this combo

Rahat to cook and Amir to hales

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rahat has definitely bowled better than amir in this innings. The length is better.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good delivery.

 

[hur rizvi]

Too short- Wastage of swing

 

[On_the_up]

Eng surviving without too many alarms

 

[the Great Khan]

but Dhoni still is world class not Amir

who's Dhoni?

coming onto this match, again a flat pitch and poor bowling will mean we will be under pressure unless we can get some wickets...

 

[Shafi]

Apart from few good balls most of them very average and harmless.

 

[MenInG]

Yasir will be the difference.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Damn! Fingertip stuff.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And here we go, DROPPED.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should have been caught.

 

[shah_1]

Ohh noooo

 

[Theo_14]

That was a difficult chance, chill.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How did that miss?
