England | 3/77 | 14 Overs | Need 165 runs to win from 36 Overs

3 of the over!

28 runs ahead as Pakistan were 3/49 at that stage.
 
How about the field setup for Ajmal guys.. I missed the start of the over
 
smart fielding by ajmal. Pretended it was misfield so bopara gets on strike
 
1st time I have seen akhmal taking a catch of any spinner in this series..........he is been dropping them all lately...........
 
GO GO GOPARA

13.6


Saeed Ajmal to Bopara, OUT, 92.9 kph, Bopara departs! Ajmal is a dangerous bowler and Bopara flashed an off drive, but could only get a faint edge through to Kamran Akmal, who held on gleefully! :13:
 
Shoaib to continue. Lools like I was spot on. I told you all that he can bowl 8 overs
 
This is crazy, risky stuff. Akhtar being made to bowl 8 on the trott, he cant handle it, his body cannot handle it.
 
England | 3/80 | 15 Overs | Need 162 runs to win from 35 Overs

3 of the over!

30 runs ahead as Pakistan were 3/50 at that stage.
 
:akhtar just love this guy!!! How much he's wanting to take a wicket.

I would blame Gul here, if he bowled well in the first 15 over Shoaib would've been resting by now. Btw Good bowling by shoaib today. Thats all a fan needs, just give ur best which SA certainty did.
 
8 overs on the trott. Seems like Akhter is getting fitter

What fitness? His pace is down big time in his last 3 overs. There is a reason why he cannot bowl more than 3-4 overs per spell. His speeds will decline in his 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th over e.t.c, they will be wasted overs where he will be bowling at 136-137 km/hr as oppossed to 143-148 km/hr.

Pretty poor captaincy.

why have gul in the team then ? if you have him you give him overs to bowl or use a part timer instead of injuring your best bowler
 
England | 3/84 | 16 Overs | Need 158 runs to win from 34 Overs

4 of the over!

30 runs ahead as Pakistan were 3/54 at that stage.

Brings up fifty for Strauss as well! Well played!
 
The real question is ...

Will England go in "tuk tuk " mode now ... under the pretense of consolidating just like we did ?

and loose? Akhtar has to do this as the team really needs quick wickets. The captain has no choice.
