[Energy]

Out. Farhat catches one finally.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ajmal gets his 3rd

Collingwood

Farhat takes the catch

 

[WNC]

Colly goes! iDone

 

[Maula Jutt]

Farhat takes a catch. Now he will never leave the team.

 

[haizen]

wow Farhat caught one

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doosra does the trick again for Ajmal!

 

[NorthStar]

Ajmal gets another, Farhat catches one!!!!!!!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great bowling!

Farhat almost shelled that!

 

[haizen]

Farhat takes a catch. Now he will never leave the team.

yep...cemented his place for the next 10 matches

 

[offcutter]

Ajmal proving why he is a better choice than Kaneria on these wickets.

 

[Energy]

Allah Maafi dey, Hameed looks beemaar!

But then, Pakistan and fitness are 2 different things!

Bilkul theek kaha hai.

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is a brilliant spell of bowling by Ajmal.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Great bowling!

Farhat almost shelled that!

 

[Rizie]

The tail better wont wag

 

[ZAK]

 

[yadunoe]

man pakistan have such a good attack if we would of held our catches it would be 100 all out despite this england are still less then 300 lol

 

[Batman]

England | 7/248 | 77.1 Overs | Lead by 176 runs

Finally a wicket for Pakistan, Collingwood gone.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England's batting is damn over-rated. We have dropped 8 catches so far in this innings, and the score still hasn't crossed 300

 

[haizen]

Is anybody watching on 'Star Cricket'? I love the ad with the green parrot haha

 

[James]

hopefully we can blast our way to 300 and get a few wickets tonight. 230 lead is usually impregnable in 1st innings, and certainly should be on this pitch.

 

[Bilsher007]

I can't believe yasir hameed dropped simple catch at first slip even though the ball kept low when it reached hameed.


Ajmal has bowled wonderfully well, it was a great move to bring him in the team in place of kaneria. If only fielders could hold onto simple catches.


And yes ajmal gets breakthrough ! colly caught by farhat off ajmal !

 

[iafzal]

Farhat almost dropped that one too caught on tip of his fingers

 

[haizen]

YAYY Hameed catches another one

 

[Maula Jutt]

Thank God.

 

[t11sk9]

BBC commentary, found this funny so thought id share it with you guys

"Swann edges just short of second slip... not that he'd necessarily have caught it anyway, but Hameed makes a good stop on the bounce. Maiden over."

 

[WNC]

Hameed takes one at leg slip. Broad goes!

 

[Energy]

Hameed takes his second. Broad gone.

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

breaking news ......farhat take a catch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Broad

Ajmal same over 2 wickets!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Broad goes back to the shed, 5 wicket haul coming up.

 

[offcutter]

AJMAL BABY - game changer!

 

[cricketpassion]

hameed takes athe catch

 

[James]

England's batting is damn over-rated. We have dropped 8 catches so far in this innings, and the score still hasn't crossed 300

this is a complete minefield, has been since the first session. looks like the dropped catches are gonna cost you the game.

 

[NorthStar]

Ajmal the man, 4 Wickets.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes!

Now please don't let there be a massive partnership!!

 

[Awesome_Username]

We would've had them for 150. Would still have been an innings defeat but atleast would've given the bowlers some confidence.

 

[On_the_up]

Ajmal spell 4-46 now.

 

[haizen]

I'm not celebrating though...England will still win by an innings and a 150

 

[ZAK]

Broad

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yes!

Now please don't let there be a massive partnership!!

 

[Batman]

England | 8/248 | 77.4 Overs | Lead by 176 runs

Ajmal strikes twice in this over Broad gone.

 

[yadunoe]

Lol, but true

i think zulqarnain's chance was hard both of them. but world class keepers need to take those and sadly zulqarnain isnt. i hate kami alot but i think he needs to be rested as he is capabe of great things. Stupid decision by the selection commity why isnt sarfaraz ahmed the back up WK. he isnt even Pakistan A tour

 

[WNC]

"Finally Pakistan start catching the cricket ball and what a difference it does make!" - Naser Hussain

 

[NJamal]

Ajmal is the MAN

 

[On_the_up]

Ajmal proving Kaneria was over rated.

 

[Usman Chadda]

I think its fair to say that if we had a decent batting line-up, we would have had the upper hand. Blimey, 8 catches dropped and you are still 248/8. That is bemusing to say the least

Ajmal in one innings has overshadowed Kaneria's performances throughout this summer

 

[haizen]

GOOD attacking field to take out the tail

 

[On_the_up]

Ajmal's avg drops below 40 now.

 

[Decipher]

now lets get ready for a 150 runs partnership between the last two batsmen.

 

[yadunoe]

Is anybody watching on 'Star Cricket'? I love the ad with the green parrot haha

hahahahahah love that add so jokes
deepika mere GF
aur salman mera trainer

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Brilliant bowling by Ajmal. Where the hell is Amir? He needs a go here.

 

[Batman]

England | 8/248 | 78 Overs | Lead by 176 runs

Two wickets for Ajmal and Pakistan. Double-wicket maiden.

 

[iafzal]

I hope Butt does not go defensive here like last test so they do not have to bat the last few overs of the day.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Tough decision to take the new ball with Ajmal bowling like this. Then again it could be all over by then.

 

[On_the_up]

Lead now 176

 

[WNC]

Andu on strike against Aamer. I sniff an edge...and it will be dropped

 

[cricketpassion]

We would've had them for 150. Would still have been an innings defeat but atleast would've given the bowlers some confidence.

Exactly , take trot and kp score out because they had million chances and look at the score lead shouldnt be more than 100

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Brilliant bowling by Ajmal. Where the hell is Amir? He needs a go here.

My bad ) I wasn't watching the match befoe this over.

 

[Awesome_Username]

Karman distracting the fielders. Wants to help Pakistan lose even when he's not playing. What spirit!

 

[On_the_up]

Anderson and Finn left

Doosrah baby.

 

[haizen]

hahahahahah love that add so jokes
deepika mere GF
aur salman mera trainer

haha

and don't forget

CHAMAILEE naam rakhega...chamailee

 

[Bilsher007]

Ajmal strikes ! this time broad caught by hameed at legslip ! hameed and farhat making up for their dropped catches finally !


Why the hell we did'nt get ajmal in the series earlier ? Just imagine what difference ajmal would have made with his control and subtle variations.

 

[James]

I think Nottingham was a fair representation of the two sides' batting lineups, gap of a few hundred runs. you aren't going to see many test match wickets like this one in Birmingham. total graveyard for batsmen, hardest I've seen for a test in England in years.

 

[On_the_up]

Well taken by zoni.

 

[haizen]

good take by Zulqurnain

 

[On_the_up]

Waqar smiling at last.

 

[imshally81]

come on guyz... wrap up quickly

 

[haizen]

ahh look who suddenly has a smile on his facee!! :younis

 

[Energy]

Waqar sporting a smile.

 

[On_the_up]

Pakistan will do well to make England bat again.

 

[WNC]

Give a toe-crushing yorker to Andu. Make it so he isn't able to walk for the next 3 weeks

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ajmal proving Kaneria was over rated.

Ajmal is the most skillful spinner in the world, ahead of Harbajhan,Mendis and Swann. He just hasn't had a proper run since coming back in the team.

 

[iafzal]

Nice take by Zoni there

 

[haizen]

lmao at Nasser Hussain

"they are 249/15 at the moment"

well said

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Plz wipe off the tail quickly

 

[NJamal]

England are 249/15

 

[alibaba90]

Just wait till our mighty batting line up shows you guys how to bat on these surfaces. Wait and watch.
