England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 23-26, 2016 | Day 2

[ViciousMachine]

Brilliant batting so far. But now Hafeez vs Anderson

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez hasn't faced a ball from Anderson. He will probably run out Masood now if he tries to take a single.

Lets see what happens. Anderson isnt looking dangerous at all though

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hafeez v Anderson or Woakes now?

 

[Justcrazy]

16 . 0

10 overs

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hafeez v Dukes ball bully in his den.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Anderson continues.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lets see what happens. Anderson isnt looking dangerous at all though

Anderson bowls better to righties.

 

[uberkoen]

Shaba boys. Don't give your wickets away cheaply. Need a big opening stand here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good line but this isnt really difficult to face for an international opener.

 

[Shafi]

England needs to bring Woakes to get wickets. He was unplayable in the first test.

 

[The_KING]

Who the hell is chanting USA?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Hafeez leaving very well on front foot.


Anderson might test him with a shortish length now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez leaving well

 

[farazaidi]

Personally speaking I don't think the England bowlers have been patient enough: maybe they also realize it's a flat pitch

I was thinking the same. Trying too hard to make the new ball work instead of bowling a channel consistently

[Pete Rose]

Hafeez should perefer to face Anderson

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Picked it well did Hafeez

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan openers survive today ?

 

[Speedster1]

Why is some parts of crowd chanting USA??

 

[Pete Rose]

Picked it well did Hafeez

He pushed it down legaside.
Nasser sounds forlorn.... Was expecting a wicket

 

[farazaidi]

Shan bhayya growing in confidence. Textbook forward defence

Moeen into the attack! What a surprise!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Our openers survived first Ten overs, it means there is nothing in this pitch.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Why is everyone chanting USA ???

 

[Hasan123]

Moen on?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Moeen Ali so early?? Hafeez better not get overconfident!

 

[castortroy]

I don't get masood approach to batting

Block block until you nick one

 

[uberkoen]

Moeen Ali in.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Moeen? Lol. Hope we don't do anything stupid.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wounded tiger Moeen Ali into attack, should play him carefully.

 

[On_the_up]

Halwa time?

 

[ammar93]

Regardless of the result I think England should've played Rashid here.

 

[Hasan123]

Shan has done the hard part don't throw it away now!

 

[yasir]

Nothing in the wicket, they should keep strolling for few more overs, new ball is almost gone.... Play long innings forget about scoreboard.

Shot from Shan

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Commando.

 

[uberkoen]

by Masood

 

[Seen Sheen]

Finds the gap, beautifully cut through the point region. FOUR for Shan

 

[farazaidi]

Moin comes on and bowls gentle half trackers, easy stuff

[street cricketer]

Moeenalitharan into the attack

 

[Hasan123]

Good **** Shan if we put the pressure on Moen than England will have to overwork the seamers. Anderson and Stokes won't want be over bowled as they are just coming back off injury

 

[Pete Rose]

Regardless of the result I think England should've played Rashid here.

It's a myth about spinner here. Figures don't back it

 

[haris93]

moeen on ! may be to switch end for broad

 

[#GreenRoars]

Haha no ball from Moeen.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why didnt shan go for it! it was a slow no ball lol hit it out the ground.

 

[ammar93]

Ugh why didn't he wack that?!

 

[uberkoen]

What the hell was that?

 

[imshally81]

Never seen a batsman leave hit me type full toss ball

 

[ammar93]

Perhaps but some of yasir's deliveries spun quite a bit. I just don't see why they need Moeen even though there's such a strong batting order without him too.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dangerous Woakes on now.

 

[Pete Rose]

Woakes here: should follow yasir shahs performance : Logic dictates

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Masood sahib ye kya drama hai ?

6 runs missed.


Are you kidding me ?

No respite for the openers. CR Woakes - the man in form- into the attack.

 

[farazaidi]

Woaksie comes on, Shan be careful

[Shafi]

First test hero is here. Hafeez and Shan better watch out

 

[Hasan123]

Working with Saqlain won't make that much of a difference for Moen as moen isn't good enough and when he gets under pressure he doesn't have a clue of how to vary his pace.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hard part is over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can I laugh at you now, or should I do this after third and fourt test

You'll never have a chance to laugh at me brother.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Clipped off his hips for FOUR. Hafeez

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Gone...... Bloody Hafeez

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dangerous Woakes on now.

Woakes comes, Hafeez goes

 

[Seen Sheen]

I knew Woakes would cause this. I so knew

 

[castortroy]

Classic hafeez dismissal

Pak will lose by an innings here

 

[farazaidi]

As expected, Hafeez lets us down

[The_KING]

Hafeez flops again to an outside edge

 

[uberkoen]

Chalo jee. Professor done and dusted.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Future Pakistan Great eh?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Last ball before frickin drinks. Why do these guys always give Woakes a wicket in the first over. So bloody annoying

 

[castortroy]

Woakes will get another 5 here

 

[Speedster1]

Damn main man Hafeez gone!! Woakes strikes in first over last ball!!

 

[The_KING]

Get Hafeez out of the test team.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Yaar!

 

[MMHS]

Masood is very limited player, therefore he is missing lots of scoring options, but one thing I must admit - this guy is earning his spot. For 3 consecutive innings, he has survived the English opening pair. His next target should be to end the day unbeaten.

 

[Shafi]

As usual Hafeez gone!!! This pitch is not that flat as people predicted

 

[Hasan123]

Defending a wide ball looool joke of a dismissal no way can Hafeez go on Australian and New Zealand tour with shots like this.

 

[shah_1]

If he can't score here then throw this clown out

 

[marlonbrowndo]

As usual Hafeez gone!!! This pitch is not that flat as people predicted

Its flat as hell

 

[Hasan123]

I hope Azhar grinds this attack into the ground!!!!

 

[Aviator]

People here got their wish fulfilled...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Azhar cant go into his shell here.
