England v Pakistan | Fourth Test | Day 2 : Session 1 | Lords | 27/08/10

[Kashif_nazir]

England 39/1 of 12.3 overs.

I hope the weather is good for playing

 

[iafzal]

It looks like start will be delayed from the weather and they may actually get good weather late afternoon so they may extend some time later.

Pouring down in Essex at the moment.

 

[Uzzy_Khan]

where is everyone? no interest left in this match guys?? normally you guys are up and posting a few hours before start of play. aaj to lagta hai sab bhai so rahe hain

 

[AZ]

If weather permits, would we start early today? or normal time?

 

[Energy]

I think play will start at normal time only.

 

[Energy]

We have to make use of these conditions and skittle the English out for 150.

You never start early in England. If weather permits, we start normal time and play an hour more to make up for yday

 

[shan]

Need to bowl them out quickly, dont see Pakistan scoring much on these conditions.

 

[SOSami]

Suns out dagnamit. Lets hope its a little more cloudy down at Lords..

 

[Noork85]

so the match won't be delayed, right? weather looks fine.

Hopefully we'll see more action today as the weather looks a bit better. The rain has moved away, for now at least, although the light isn't great.

Valaikum Salaam..

 

[Noork85]

i want Asif to get plenty of wickets during this match.

 

[IAJ]

Out catching needs to deliver! :umarakmal

Yeah totally agree, no fun with great bowling when the fielders don't support the bowlers.

Personally I hope we can get many LBWs and bowled so we don't need to rely much on our Jonthy Rhoes'

 

[KA$H]

from tv the weather looks pretty bright

 

[IAJ]

i want Asif to get plenty of wickets during this match.

Koi khaas wajah? Aamer, ajmal aur Wahab ki shaklain achi nahi hain?

 

[Arsh_afridi]

10.35am Great news folks, the umpires have confirmed that play will start on time and the day is already brightening up nicely.

 

[pak4life]

we really need to bat today to have a chance of winning lets hold our catches when they come.

Shayad Asif ka naya haircut zyada pasand aa gaya hai.

 

[Energy]

10 minutes until scheduled start.

 

[imshally81]

10.45am It's still an overcast day so there should be plenty of help for the Pakistan bowlers which means another challenge for the England batsmen. Kevin Pietersen is next in and needs some runs, as do Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan.

 

[shan]

Sun is out?

[NJamal]

[AZ]

[imshally81]

[NJamal]

[masterblaster10]

Nothing beats the excitement of the morning of a test match. Forget ODI/T20s those are minor compared to this.

 

[Energy]

Ooohh!! Good start by Aamer.

 

[imshally81]

Excellent Delivery

 

[NJamal]

Beaten oh great ball by aamer

 

[Noork85]

Koi khaas wajah? Aamer, ajmal aur Wahab ki shaklain achi nahi hain?

Ab Hoga Asli Muqabla(FTB's ka).

 

[NJamal]

So Umar Akmal's drop cost us just 9 runs

 

[hashbb]

mwaah

 

[sarmad1983]

omg..... a catch for kakmal..... cook has burned out........ again

 

[Noork85]

hahaah cook gone!!!!!

 

[talha3]

yesss mohammad aamer what a bowler! what a delivery!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Beautiful from Amir - right on the money.
Good to know that the drop only cost 9 runs.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Cook looks like a dumbo to me...any club cricketer knows that the flaps of the leg guards should face away from each other...meaning they should be to the outside....not towards the inside solely to avoid instance where you hit the flap with you bat and also because it could effect your running...

 

[hashbb]

So Umar Akmal's drop cost us just 9 runs

Thank god

 

[jattafridi]

cook

 

[Energy]

Asif to continue. Chalo shahbaash!

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

big brother takes the catch phew!

 

[NJamal]

KP in conditions are perfect

 

[ShehryarK]

What a start by Pak!!

This is even better than getting Cook yest - now we have a new and yet to set KP against fresh Pak bowlers this morning

 

[Blitz]

So Aamer needs one more wicket for his average to fall under 30?!

 

[Noork85]

my heart was in my mouth watching kamran catch the ball!

 

[Energy]

Height I suppose there.

 

[Gollum]

get them out in time for sun

 

[Sir john]

overcast conditions looks good.

 

[Blitz]

my heart was in my mouth watching kamran catch the ball!

Yes! It felt like an eternity. Slow motion and all.
