8 overs left

Wood hasn't threatened so far. Think Woakes should have played this game instead.

Woods induced the edge off a jaffa from Haris only for Stokes to mess it up.

 

[Hasan123]

He just got dropped by third slip. He would have been back in the hut

Other than that he's looked okay. He deserves some luck.

 

[Hasan123]

Big moment for Bess. 1st ball in test cricket.

 

[Markhor]

Think they're playing Wood as he'll be a greater threat away from home than Woakes who is clueless without the Dukes ball.

This is where the mental side of batting comes in.

Imam's innings vs Ireland was proof that survival mode doesn't mean block everything.

people keep forgetting that Ireland are at a best a second division county side... with all due respect... What Azhar is doing is the best in his capabilities.... I think Imam needs to do the same.. He's not naturally gifted to be scoring at a decent rate/being positive and being consistent.

 

[Asch Ali]

Azhar Ali is defintely getting OUT before Days end. He doesn’t have good reputation in situations like these.

 

[Syed1]

Time for some spin.....




We need to slay him.... make him wish he took up footy rather than cricket

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to keep switched on against bess here

 

[Syed1]

How many overs left????

 

[babajee]

Nice by Haris

 

[Hasan123]

Haris trying to put the spinner under pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty up for pakistan.

 

[babajee]

Haris trying to put the spinner under pressure.

Babar will get out to this guy

 

[Plumb]

are we having Day/Night test?

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 up for pakistan and just 1 wicket lost. Good job so far.

 

[babajee]

How many overs left????

Last over of the day

 

[Hasan123]

Babar will get out to this guy

Hopefully not.

 

[Syed1]

Last over of the day - Azhar's achilles heel

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot. One more over I think

 

[AFM]

50 up for pakistan and just 1 wicket lost. Good job so far.

Great job.

 

[Amjid Javed]

How many overs left????

Should be last over coming up now. Half 6 is stop time.

 

[Hasan123]

4 balls to go.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Azhar.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Last over of the day - Azhar's achilles heel

Still his stupid dismissal at edgbaston which changed the whole game in 1st inns.

 

[Hasan123]

2 to go.

 

[Third Man]

brilliant performance by all pacers

You're not gonna praise Abbas, are you? I didn't like him but I gotta say he's proved us wrong.

 

[Syed1]

I'd take a 50/1 at end of day's play. Thank you very much.

Boys listening to everything I say

 

[Hasan123]

Last ball of the day.

 

[DeadBall]

Still remember when Azhar got out on the last ball of the day a couple of years ago.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

They certainly didn't bowl like one.

They were very good with the new ball IMO.

Azhar is playing an impactless innings here. Needs to hit the bad balls to the fence not the fielders.

 

[Hasan123]

Nice defence. What a day for Pakistan. More of the same tomorrow please.

 

[Hasan123]

Mickey and Sarfraz will be delighted with that performance.

 

[Markhor]

Well done lads, a terrific day in all departments.

 

[idrizzy]

gg, onto tomorrow.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Excellent by Haris and Azhar. Maza aa gya.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done pakistan. Excellent performance on day 1. Hopefully a good day with bat tomorrow.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

UK certainly brings the best out of recent PAK teams.

Awesome day from PAK's perspective.

Should aim to bat almost whole day tomorrow and get a lead of atleast 80+.

 

[AFM]

Our day. Another one 2moz and this match is truly ours.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Great day from Pakistan's POV, [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] great predictions today mate, exactly 50/1. Ramadan effect???

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great day for us

 

[Plumb]

Boys listening to everything I say

you might as well buy lottery today

 

[Kroll]

Disciplined, determined and excellent performance from day 1

 

[Asch Ali]

6 overs then it would’ve been 70/1

 

[Adijazz1706]

you might as well buy lottery today

In Ramadan!! Astagfirullah

 

[Justcrazy]

Day 1: Pakistan trail by 134 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the innings

 

[Slim]

Brilliant performance by the lads and then some of the posters have the gall to call our team rubbish.

 

[Plumb]

In Ramadan!! Astagfirullah

not only in Ramadan but normal time too... it was figure of speech..
