[AZ]

On the legs, and dismissed.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Classic Yousuf, timed to perfection through mid wicket.

Finding the middle now.

 

[Dr. Khan]

Alhamdullilah Rameez out of the box

 

[hamzamunir]

According to Ramiz....wherever MoYo hits a good shot....

"That's his area of strength". Can this guy stop speaking...so predictable. I mean stop repeating the same god darn thing over and over man....

 

[cricket_fever]

yusuf is showing his class

 

[ZAK]

Quick single taken by Yousuf.

he needs a new line seriously

 

[12cavalry]

ah that was nice

Man he's an idiot. He repeats himself over and over, and thinks that no one notices on what he's actually saying. I think he might himself be confused of what he's actually saying. The guy is an idiot...I swear i want to mute the button when he talks. )))

 

[ZAK]

to :aali

 

[Dr. Khan]

I am liking post lunch session. Good shot Azhar

 

[Dr. Khan]

150 up

 

[Noork85]

is it the moyo affect? ali is actually hitting the ball

 

[Seen Sheen]

Classic Yousuf, timed to perfection through mid wicket.

Finding the middle now.

He has now played almost all his fav. shots,the clip through mid wicket,the late steer through 3rd man..

Waiting anxiously for a Cover-Drive now..

 

[cricket_fever]

now we really moving!

 

[hamzamunir]

Allah aap ka laakh laakh shukar hai...RAMIZ chala gya...woohoo!

 

[ScotRaz]

The key here is that BOTH batsmen are scoring the runs, therefore they will be more comfortable with the situation. Not as if only one is doing the scoring, therefore no pressure on them. So far so good....

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Need a lead of 100.

 

[Noork85]

having a senior makes all the diff, apparently.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Prior has a full pack of bubble gum in his mouth.

 

[12cavalry]

for someone like Moyo...swann should be a walk in the park

) Exactly what i though....and they showed the mini 'session-card' as well showing us going at over 4 an over in the session so far and then Ramiz comes out with that crap!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Love the way Yousuf defends the ball on the front foot...Just sort of kills the ball with the bat...

 

[shan]

Swann looking good again.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar seems ro be enjoying Batting with Moyo here! Look at the difference it makes to a young batsmen when they have a classy world class one at other end for guidance and support.

Moyo is taking the pressure of Azhar so he can play freely!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Its always a treat to watch Moyo batting when in form hes just majestic to watch!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Need a lead of 100.

More than that. 150 to 200.

 

[Prince_Pathan]

delighted azhar is making runs...happy for him...almost had a heartattack pre match when somebody said he might be dropped

 

[Amjid Javed]

Partnership of 41 so far which is good after lunch!

 

[Amjid Javed]

More than that. 150 to 200.

150-200 is defo needed on this wicket!

 

[hamzamunir]

More than that. 150 to 200.

HAHAHAHAhAAH for a second i thought you are serious

 

[12cavalry]

Azhar Ali on the back foot..punches the ball

me likes that

 

[cricket_fever]

More than that. 150 to 200.

kahan ke khwab dekh rahay ho bhai?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Finn back on! Pakistan need to cash in here with these two batsmen who look decently set!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Umar Akmal reading Teen Auratein Teen Kahanaiyan in the dressing room.

 

[AZ]

Finn back into the attack...

 

[hamzamunir]

kahan ke khwab dekh rahay ho bhai?

LOL I Know....lagta hai aaj pehla match dek raha hai ))

 

[12cavalry]

Akmal biraderaan ought to chip in this time...

 

[chui_kadoo]

Watching Yousuf bat is like poetry in motion

 

[ZAK]

3 to Ali.

Moyo is taking the pressure of Azhar so he can play freely!

Yep. Just watching him from the other end would give him the confidence to put the bad balls away. If Azhar can continue to do that has a great chance to get some big runs.

Just like that, clipped through mid on, 3 runs.

Now Yousuf drives for another boundry. Run rate going up.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nice shot through mid-wicket by Azhar
3 runs taken...

 

[Maula Jutt]

HAHAHAHAhAAH for a second i thought you are serious

I am. For the first time in this series, we have a batting wicket. Gotta exploit it. If we want a chance to win this, we need to put a huge lead up there. Or the English can easily dominate in their second innings.

 

[majiz]

More than that. 150 to 200.

why?

this is still an wicket

 

[12cavalry]

ahhhhhhh

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Shot!

 

[Big Mac]

MoYo :****)

 

[hamzamunir]

Watching Yousuf bat is like poetry in motion

Watching Yousuf bat is like watching Imam sahab giving Khutba on friday prayer.

 

[ZAK]

to Yousuf

I would like to see how Amin does at the crease with him. Definitely would be better than iDamaad. I just think it was too much pressure on the youngsters

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs for Azhar! Looking good! Nazar nah lugay!

 

[AZ]

3 for Azhar, nicely controlled flick thru midwicket.

followed by

pure Yousuf stroke.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Again another trademark Yousuf shot,Square drive on the front foot through point region...

FOUR more...,;moyo

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo! Is class!

 

[Dr. Khan]

beauty of a shot by Yousuf

 

[hamzamunir]

Watching Yousuf bat is like watching Imam Sahab giving Khutba on friday prayer.

 

[AZ]

Yes No Wait!

 

[Dr. Khan]

good calling by Azhar, keeping Yousuf in check

 

[Seen Sheen]

Why aren't they employing the sweet shot against Swann..Especially when he was bowling from over the wicket!!!...

 

[Noork85]

i hope its not a run out that gets yousuf out.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good tight defence shown by Azhar...

Looking a lot better today against Spin...

 

[Dr. Khan]

I like it, block Swann and take on the faster bowlers

 

[shan]

Another 75 runs needed from these two. Then Akmal hopefully can buil some lead.

 

[hamzamunir]

I remember Misbah's running between the wicket calls...."VAAAAAAAAAAAAAINT" LOL i used to die laughing at that......

What a CLOWN!

 

[ZAK]

Single to Yousuf.

 

[Salman_S]

Swann bowling very tight, but the seamers are leaking runs here.

Good going by the batsmen, recognising Swann as the bigger threat on this dry placid pitch now.

If the Akmal's can't score on this pitch now, particularly Umar, they should be dropped!

 

[ace4rmspace]

With Maulana at the other end, Azhar is being a bit more Baa-Adab aswell. Keep it going people.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo onto 40* is that the highest score by a top order batsmen in series for Pakistan?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why aren't they employing the sweet shot against Swann..Especially when he was bowling from over the wicket!!!...

Sweep is on against Swann but Azhar hasn't played it so far, maybe doesn't want to risk LBW.

Infact our old batting line up would have took Swann out of the game to put pressure on the 3 bowlers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 74 behind, these two need to knock these runs off hopefully!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Moyo onto 40* is that the highest score by a top order batsmen in series for Pakistan?

 

[majiz]

but asif's taken even more wickets than swann?

 

[the Great Khan]

see told yu expereince will help the kiddies...where are the einsteins now?? and where is Anwaar malik?

 

[Dr. Khan]

There was a run there

 

[Vegitto1]

first time in the series England has just one slip

 

[farsiddiqui]

Azhar doing good so far. Have to think, that having Yusuf on the other end has an influence on that.

 

[AZ]

Why aren't they employing the sweet shot against Swann..Especially when he was bowling from over the wicket!!!...

2 close in fielders.

Swann has a straighter one as well.

Risky stroke for just one run.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sweep is on against Swann but Azhar hasn't played it so far, maybe doesn't want to risk LBW.

Infact our old batting line up would have took Swann out of the game to put pressure on the 3 bowlers.

Better for both players to play Straight rather then Across the line!

 

[farsiddiqui]

Great day so far....MoYo showing his CLASS and Azhar holding the fort down and AND AND AND.... is coming back! Shukkar Al Hamdulillah

Yunus coming back?! Did I miss something?
