Ist?

 

[shaaik]

Ist?

That will be 7:15 IST

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Problem is Root and Bairstow are due and this is their home ground too.

 

[Sirris]

Need England at 6 down by 200 otherwise 350+

They will be 7 down by 180. You heard it here first!

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

How will the clouds help us? I dont understand all of that cloud cover stuff

 

[GLORY OF '92]

How will the clouds help us? I dont understand all of that cloud cover stuff

The ball moves more

 

[Sirris]

How will the clouds help us? I dont understand all of that cloud cover stuff

Me neither. It sounds like rocket science.

Need a thorough guide by experts like MMHS.

 

[Rizwan25]

How many overs will be bolwed today ?

 

[Sarwar89]

I would say England all out by 200!
The clouds are there to help us.

Even 250 is fine. 75 run lead can be managed.

 

[Sarwar89]

How many overs will be bolwed today ?

59

 

[Abdullah]

Even 250 is fine. 75 run lead can be managed.

200 let's make this a low scoring thriller!!

 

[AFM]

Good luck England.

You'll need it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ball not swinging and Amir not fully fit.

Shoulder is being a hindrance.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England off with a boundary

 

[m.shah]

Edge and four

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan Ali

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England scored 7 runs in 3 balls while Pakistan played maidens.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another 4

Runs flowing already

 

[m.shah]

Ball not swinging

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Terrible

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The nuns are in and the butchers

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Can see an innings defeat by tomorrow

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ball not swinging

Say something that hasn't been said already.

 

[m.shah]

What a start

 

[NauV]

No movement at all . . that's not good . . and why isn't Abbas bowling! shoudl have been abbas in these conditions

 

[Shafi]

Looks like England wants to defeat us by innings!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England playing for a win especially with the time already being of the essence. The quicker they score the better chances they have of winning.

 

[m.shah]

Why didn't they start with abass??

 

[Sirris]

Want to see some stumps flying!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely fielding

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem injured his knee

 

[AFM]

Fielding

 

[MenInG]

Faheem injured his knee

hit his ankle. Dont spread rumours.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Root has raced to 39 already that too in no time.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Why didn't they start with abass??

Abbas is more of a seam bowler not swing, the conditions with cloud cover and old ball Hasan was the right choice.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

hit his ankle. Dont spread rumours.

Oh yes ankle.

 

[AFM]

Root has raced to 39 already that too in no time.

Will race to his 50. It's after that the countdown starts

 

[blackanhyellow]

Abbas should be bowling right now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England on a roll

Pakistan steam rolled.

 

[m.shah]

Four

 

[NauV]

How is sarfaraz planning ont aking wickets with just 2 slips . not even a gully

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Will race to his 50. It's after that the countdown starts

Yes yes we all know this.

 

[AFM]

Dom Bess driving Amir.

 

[mkyawar]

Body language destroyed

 

[Shafi]

Our bowlers are super flat today!!!! No consistency at all

 

[Kashmirilion]

Gonna be a very long shortened day in the field

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

No movement, looks like a tough day.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The line and length and field placement so far have been amusing.

 

[troodon]

Bess is a proper batsman. Looks more assured than Moeen Ali with the bat.

Pak will have to bowl really well here to get some wickets.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Bess is bossing them.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Massacre

 

[RehanG]

Why did the rain stop..!

 

[Shafi]

If we ball like this England will score 500 runs.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Looking bad for Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Run rate was 2.8 when they started and in 4 overs it's gone to 3.22.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

England probably looking for a lead of 100 and then declare as there will not be any play tomorrow (weather).

 

[blackanhyellow]

Why arent they swinging it in these conditions?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why did the rain stop..!

Open the heavens

 

[Shafi]

Our batting was really poor on this flat pitch. Even Sadab manage to score 50+ runs where Azhar struggling to score like tailender

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Why arent they swinging it in these conditions?

Ball is 40 overs old.

 

[Sirris]

This is just the false dawn for England. They are going down pretty soon.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Ball is 40 overs old.

Reverse?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Reverse?

Dont think it will reverse due to rain.

 

[Baigel]

Shoulda allowed it to rain... The rain has saved us many times in Ramadan... Oh well, let's wait till drinks now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good start by England.Get Abbas in!

 

[Sirris]

That's the way. Keep the run flow down and watch them crumble.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lets hope English batsmen play some poor shots. Ball isnt doing much.

 

[Baigel]

HAHAHAHAHAH anybody else just see that effort from Azhar.... HAHAHAHAHAHHA

 

[pkckt]

Sarfraz sticking with the most expensive bowlers

 

[Robert]

Why arent they swinging it in these conditions?

Orthodox swing is not always about cloud cover, it’s about moist rising air. Even master English swing bowler Sir Ian Botham didn’t know for sure when it would swing.

Reverse?

Damp outfield, hard to get the ball dry enough to reverse.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Let Root get his token 50 and get out

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Pitch has flatenned. Nothing in it after first 20 overs.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Ball's not moving a millimeter............. even in HD

 

[shaaik]

Why Wd u start with Hasan instead of Abbas is beyond me ..

 

[asadee]

Bad call at the toss..let's just accept it and move on

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Yes!Amir gets Root

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Amirrrrrrrr

 

[QuickCrick]

Yes yes yes

Come on Pakistan

 

[DeadBall]

Let Root get his token 50 and get out

Won't even get that.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Looks like people have lost interest here as well )
