England v Pakistan | Second Test | Day 3 : Session 1 | Edgbaston | 08/08/10

[Paradox]

Farhat and Azhar still out there with Pakistan trailing by quite a bit. Hopefully this is a better day for Pakistan, with a few of our batsmen scoring a century.. or a double

[jattafridi]

Come on Pakistan

 

[Sir john]

[UmarAkmals-fan]

why did u open this thread so late lol

 

[T20_Cricket]

Need to put 370 on the board to be competitive. Given we've scored the equivalent of 370 in our past 3 innings I think it may be a little out of reach

But never say never, it's the same situation Oz were in after being bowled out for 88 and they went pretty close; really need the sun to come out and our batting to show some application as well as intent.

 

[Khabri420]

Farhat, Azhar, the two Umars, and Sialkotia all need to score runs. At least make England bat again issed:

 

[Amjid Javed]

Its just a question of an Inns defeat or wether we make england chase a very small total.

 

[Poison]

The biggest thing here is they MUST play their shots and put away the bad balls.

 

[AZ]

bad balls milenge to put away karenge

is it going to be an early start today?

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

butt and aamer disappeared in a taxi at around 10pm- wondered where they were off to.

Surely we have an important day- or have we already given up?

 

[Sir john]

hope today pak play well.

 

[Atif]

Will Gul bat if required ?

I have heard it will be a sunny day today. If that is the case we should take advantage of it.

 

[IAJ]

Will Gul bat if required ?

Think it depends on how much time he has spent out of the field.

 

[Robert]

One would hope that Pakistan can make a real contest of this today and test the England team. It has been six tests since someone gave us a fight.

 

[Atif]

The sun is shining in edgebaston this morning...

 

[Hash]

which means we will be 42 for 4 instead of 42 for 8

 

[cricketpassion]

Lol Botham thinks the catch Amin droppped yesterday ,his 10 years old grand daughter would have taken .Thank God his he didnt say about his mother in law

 

[James]

I reckon we could be looking at 130 to win and maybe lose.

 

[Poison]

To be fair our bowlers have given you blokes a bit of a working over; your bowling hasn't been tested at all though, fair game.

 

[Xoib]

I reckon we could be looking at 130 to win and maybe lose.

Pakistan will do well to score 130.

 

[sohaibsyed]

Pakistan just need to make eng bat again. that will be an accomplishment.

 

[sohaibsyed]

it ll be amazing if they r still batting when the day ends!

 

[James]

Any team can score 300+ in the second dig on the back of some guy being good/lucky enough to score a hundred. Match is far from over.

 

[IAJ]

Waqar: we have Wahab Riaz and Tanveer Ali is there...

 

[pak4life]

good interview by waqar

 

[Atif]

The players are walking out, come on Pakistan, show England what you are made of!!

 

[aqeelPK]

Is it bright and sunny or cloudy out there??

 

[cricketpassion]

Ya Allah tera Aasra .

 

[NJamal]

I had a gut feeling that this match will be a close encounter

 

[NJamal]

Where is Majid Shah man?

 

[Atif]

Pakistan should make most of the sunny conditions and knock off the lead quick.

 

[Atif]

Is it bright and sunny or cloudy out there??

It's sunny for once

 

[sohaibsyed]

1 over survived

 

[cricketpassion]

[Maula Jutt]

Are we in for another day of tuk tuk out! tuk tuk out! ?

 

[Atif]

The ball is still swinging out there, a maiden from Anderson, the first over of the day.

 

[IAJ]

[aqeelPK]

It's sunny for once

Good.Cmon Pakistannn
