England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 2 : Session 2 | Edgbaston | 07/08/10

[KingKhanWC]

Asif on, should test morgan and collingwood.

 

[IAJ]

Heard Rameez say that Umar Gul is not available for Pakistan, is he injured?

 

[Pakistani93]

Mohammed Asif into the attack

 

[Atif]

Asif coming onto bowl, time for England collapse..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif is on now!

Finally some sense from Butt to bring on a seamer!

 

[Atif]

Heard Rameez say that Umar Gul is not available for Pakistan, is he injured?

He pulled his hamstring

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sun seems to be trying to come out

 

[IAJ]

He pulled his hamstring

Oh no, feel sorry for asif and aamer now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Morgan gone

BEAUTY BY ASIF!

 

[IAJ]

Beautifully bowled Asif

 

[On_the_up]

Asfi you beauty!

 

[chui_kadoo]

asif gets his man

 

[Atif]

Morgan out, well done to Asif

 

[offcutter]

ASIF!!! And good catch by THE ZONE

 

[KingKhanWC]

Beauty, Morgan gone, easy catch. England collapse coming up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good line by Asif which Morgan had to play!

Gets the edge and Morgan caught behind by Zulqarnain!

 

[On_the_up]

beautiful bowling by Asif

 

[Strike!]

Wow.

 

[NorthStar]

Morgan gone, Asif gets him early.

 

[Atif]

Lets get them out for less than 200 lead and put 600 on board

 

[Desire]

well there is some spark now. more intent.

 

[ZAK]

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Asif you beauty !

 

[mastermind_quad]

big fish

EJG Morgan c †Zulqarnain Haider b Mohammad Asif 6 (15b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

 

[On_the_up]

ASIF!!! And good catch by THE ZONE

was as regulation as they come, but I suppose any catch is brilliant in these times.

 

[On_the_up]

well there is some spark now. more intent.

I am feeling that too.

 

[Pakistani93]

If we can get them all out for a lead under 200 than we might still have a outside chance in this match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan need to pick themselves up now in the field too

Need to get some blood running through their veins to get them to be more vocal and alert

 

[MoinHaroon]

Beauty, Morgan gone, easy catch. England collapse coming up.

If pakistan does not drop catches

 

[NorthStar]

Morgan looks a little suspect in the channel.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Pakistan need to pick themselves up now in the field too

Need to get some blood running through their veins to get them to be more vocal and alert

Here is where we miss Kami, he is vocal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Prior

Off Ajmal

 

[KingKhanWC]

Prior will tray to attack here, something Ajmal won't mind. Another couple before the new ball and it could be all over very quicly.

 

[mastermind_quad]

 

[Seen Sheen]

Kudos to Asif,he keeps running in when so easily he could get demoralized the way he is treated by his fielders..

 

[Maula Jutt]

Takes us one wicket to get alive and threatening on the field. And then one dropped catch to go back to dead men walking.

Need more mental strength.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Prior scoring some quick runs here

Looking to be quite busy at the crease

 

[IAJ]

Whenever I have seen Prior with bat he has struggled and against Pakistan he looks like a champion. Already 10 runs to him

 

[mastermind_quad]

more

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This session England are going at over 4 an over

2 wickets down aswell in the session so far

9.2 overs in it

 

[mastermind_quad]

1 0 4 0 4 2

 

[On_the_up]

231-5

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Gul out of the test series?! Is that what I just heard Bumble say?! Can somebody clarify...

 

[Big Mac]

Guess we'll see Mohammed Irfan in the third test.

 

[mastermind_quad]

0 0 0 0...Asif doing good

 

[Bilsher007]

I had a strong instinctive feeling morgan would fail today. Butt needs a short gully with ajmal bowling, with no gully fielder 2 boundaries have been needlessly leaked.

I hope gul recovers speedily. Pakistan need to get 5 wickets swiftly.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The forecast for tomorrow is pretty good apparently!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes Omar. Wahab or tanvir should come in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Swann's a better bowler than Saeed Ajmal - David 'Bumble' Lloyd

 

[GLORY OF '92]

43 according to cricinfo

Guess we'll see Mohammed Irfan in the third test.

Not in the squad is he?

 

[On_the_up]

Ajmal to Prior

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yes Omar. Wahab or tanvir should come in.

Thanks! I'll take Wahab out of them 2 then!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not in the squad is he?

Nope!

Thought all our fielders were gally fielders.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Gully out for 4 weeks SAD

 

[On_the_up]

England lead 161 runs

 

[Big Mac]

Yeah just checked the squad after I typed that, thought he was in but he isn't. Shame, I'm curious to see what he's got.

 

[On_the_up]

Asif continues

widish bowl, left alone by colly

 

[On_the_up]

Asif bowling a teasing line, swinging away outside off stump.

 

[On_the_up]

Maiden by Asif.

Spell so far 3-3-0-1

 

[On_the_up]

That ball from Asif to take the wkt moved appreciably off the pitch.

 

[IAJ]

Asid needs to bowl to prior. Hope ajmal can bowl some dots to colly now

 

[On_the_up]

Prior has moved to 12 already

 

[KingKhanWC]

That looked very close.

 

[On_the_up]

lbw shout, probably hitting outside leg stump.

 

[Boi]

Need to get a gully or a short point in for Ajmal. They're nicking singles in that area.

 

[On_the_up]

was hitting leg but not out according to the regulations.

 

[KingKhanWC]

The umpires have been more postive towards englands appeals. Poor game by them, not consistant at all.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Its nearly always been the case though!

 

[Energy]

Inside-edge there.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Inside edge saves Collingwood against Asif

 

[Da Best]

Bowling has been slightly above par, batting has been rubbish. That's one thing I've learnt from this series.

They need to get better batsmen somewhere.

 

[Energy]

237/5 England

 

[Energy]

Ajmal to continue.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ajmal needs to keep Prior on strike

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Byes down legside again

4 of them

[Energy]

Byes.
