England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 2

[Markhor]

Need Shafiq to progress to 150 and Younis to get his 100. Don't lose focus.

Job isn't done once you reach a milestone.

 

[Strike Rate]

what a jumping four lol

 

[Jabo]

Where is Woakes?

Haven't seen him ball at all during this innings

 

[Strike Rate]

Youni bhai lets make it 32 centuries today! we need to bat once and bat big and please no blunders like last test.

 

[FreakCricket]

Younus khan playing with healthy strike rate

 

[Jabo]

Root is on, just don't get carried away and throw the wicket away.

 

[aloo paratha]

Root in the attack, this should be fun

 

[QalandarFan]

Four!

 

[QalandarFan]

Root on now!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Root, the man with the golden arm.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Need to punish Root and erase the lead.

 

[Strike Rate]

YK strike rate is 70+ now

 

[Tera Gawaandi]

Hafeez is unlucky to be dropped, this is batting paradise.

 

[Strike Rate]

oh that was suicidal running

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Where is Woakes?

Haven't seen him ball at all during this innings

He got scared.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hafeez is unlucky to be dropped, this is batting paradise.

He wouldn't have lasted against the new ball.

 

[ExplicitAI]

And people said we'll be bowled out for around 220 )

 

[Jabo]

Damn

Shafiq gone!

hopefully don't lose anymore by the end of the day

 

[hur rizvi]

PAthetic time to lose a wicket. Game is back in balance

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Stunner!What a catch,Broad!

 

[Markhor]

Soft dismissal. Pakistan showing once again a lack of ruthlessness.

 

[NauV]

There you go! Collapse time!! Why do our players get out on such stupid shots?!?!??

 

[Strike Rate]

WTH Shafiq 150+ was on offer here for you man you will never get a better chance than this for your first 150+

 

[ExplicitAI]

well played Asad

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lol can't pull for his life. Just leave the damn ball, you don't have to prove anything.

 

[Strike Rate]

And now things will slow down i hope somehow we manage remove this lead by the end of todays play.

 

[hur rizvi]

We need another 150+ as a bare minimum from here and bowl well

 

[shah_1]

Pathetic

 

[zn426]

Guys don't melt down yet. Besides, he did his job. Came in in a difficult situation and put us on course for this chase.

Bring on Misbah now. You know he can be aggressive if necessary.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Oh no !!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Some catch unlucky Asad

 

[Sarfarazian92]

abey yaar
Pakistan batsmen barely score daddy hundreds apart from YK

 

[rooster]

Excellent innings from Shafiq. A tame dismissal in the end though.

 

[NauV]

New ball . . and batsmen in . . Are we really gonna repeat what we did in the last test match?

 

[Markhor]

Hope Younis can get to his ton, need 100 from Misbah, 50 from Sarfraz, and I'll take what I can get from Iftikhar.

 

[the Great Khan]

Need a good lead..dissapointing to lose another..we really need to give yasir a chance against the English batsmen..

 

[#GreenRoars]

Misbah off the mark with

 

[Strike Rate]

lol Misbah start with a bang

 

[angrypathan]

 

[Adil_94]

Need Younis to get one last great innings but doubt he will survive the new ball.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Typical Pakistani collapse on the cards.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Too easy for Kaptaan. Nails the first ball.

 

[QalandarFan]

Shafiq has failed to score a 150 plus again!

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

17 ovs to go today. If we can knock of the eng lead without losing any more wkts today would be greatttt

 

[yasir]

That's also really bat timing. We usually loose couple with new ball

 

[Adil_94]

Minimum we need is 200 more runs from here. A 150 lead is the minimum needed

 

[hur rizvi]

Can we not collapse for a change?

We have collapsed against 2nd new ball quite a lot recently

I hope Misbah gets some big hits away safely against spin. We need to thin out this Lead ASAP

 

[dhump]

Not happy we lost Asad before new ball but if not now he could have been out with new ball..Now we need these two for another 100 and not to loose another with new ball.

 

[Adil_94]

Tail will need to stand up in this game as well.

 

[hur rizvi]

Great move from Cook to get Spinner off

 

[Adil_94]

Woakes has been under utilised by Cook. Overbowling Moeen has allowed Younis to get back into form not that im complaining

 

[Markhor]

WTH Shafiq 150+ was on offer here for you man you will never get a better chance than this for your first 150+

This is the problem with many Pakistani batsmen, even Misbah has this habit too. They think once you get to 100 my job is done.

People can criticise YK for whatever reason, but I always respect how he converts 100s to 150s and 150s to 200s.

starts wit 4

 

[dhump]

Typical Pakistani collapse on the cards.

or mandatory one wicket per session.

 

[QalandarFan]

Younis with a

 

[Adil_94]

Would lose Younis to get one last century and sign off with a swansong but i know that this knock will book his place onto the Tours of Australia.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need a good lead..dissapointing to lose another..we really need to give yasir a chance against the English batsmen..

Our batting is deep today, there is nothing in the pitch so expecting a handsome lead by Pak.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Dammit how did shafiq get out? Had a chance to score 200 here.

 

[ExplicitAI]

I think YK will dance his way to a ton before stumps

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol deep?

 

[Kianig89]

Captains inn. Required

 

[Adil_94]

Please not another Edgbaston. ��

 

[Markhor]

Tail will need to stand up in this game as well.

Apparent tailenders have been working hard with Grant Flower in the nets.

15-20s from Amir, Riaz and Sohail is not beyond their reach, would be very useful runs.

 

[Kianig89]

40deficit

 

[hur rizvi]

17 overs before dreaded new ball

 

[Kianig89]

YK is pleasing on the eye

 

[Adil_94]

Does anyone know what Iftikhar is like as a bat.

 

[Adil_94]

3 overs bhai

 

[Sarfarazian92]

One of Younis' most fluent innings that I've seen

 

[Kianig89]

New cherry will also brong runs,if we can survive Sarfraz will be effective if the ball is 25-30 overs old

 

[QalandarFan]

17 overs before dreaded new ball

Under 3 overs!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Does anyone know what Iftikhar is like as a bat.

Has his feet stuck in cement.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Does anyone know what Iftikhar is like as a bat.

Can score a 30 on this pitch but against new ball cant survive.

 

[Kianig89]

Jump YK

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

GUYS CALM DOWN WE ARE STILL IN CONTROL ..REMEMber we just lost 3 wickets ..one was night watchman who made double runs than his avergae and we wahab today who can bat along with Sohail and Rahat in batting form..we got this
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION] [MENTION=3474]TalhaSyed[/MENTION] [MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION], is that positive enough to maintain my membership? lol

 

[dhump]

Does anyone know what Iftikhar is like as a bat.

I hope better than Sohail Khan definitely not Azhar aur Asad.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need to get into lead today without losing anymore wickets.

 

[Adil_94]

Yeah if they can all get 20 runs each minimum that will be great for the team. Wahab Amir n Sohail have all shown they can stick around have to stand up this innings.

 

[Kianig89]

A proper hack ifti is will score if Root n,Mo bowl in tandem

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Lol signs of what's to come in Australia.
