[Mercenary]

Willow are just showing some songs right now, I thought it was uspposed to start now?

 

[Usman Chadda]

It starts at 2.30 UAE time

 

[Usman Chadda]

Match's about to start. Arun Lal is doing the pitch report at the moment

 

[Usman Chadda]

India has won the toss and has elected to bat first

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan making one change in their line-up: Mohammad Irshad coming in for Sami Khan. India making a change aswell, Rohit Sharma replacing Vidyut

 

[bladerunner]

Willow is showing only Sahara One Programme right now

 

[Usman Chadda]

Amazing first over by Gul. Swung the ball terrifically well. Good start by Pakistan

India 0/0 after the 1st over

Uthappa 0*
Dhawan 0*

 

[Mercenary]

willow tv are showing xtian religious programs in hindi

 

[Usman Chadda]

Dhawan gets lucky. The ball just escapes the cover fielder. India off the mark

BTW Irshad is bowling

 

[Usman Chadda]

Brilliant four through the mid-off by Dhawan to conclude the second over (off Irshad).

India 6/0

Dhawan 6*
Uthappa 0*

 

[bladerunner]

for what i paid ? for religious programm. man i hate willow

 

[Mercenary]

what is Irshad's speed?

 

[Waseem]

Irshad is on now, what's his speed so far Usman?????

 

[Mercenary]

for what i paid ? for religious programm. man i hate willow

The daival puts these thoughts in your haiid

 

[Usman Chadda]

what is Irshad's speed?

At the moment he has been a touch slow. 82mph mostly. Hopefully he increases his pace.

Another beautiful boundary for Dhawan through a cut shot. Irshad getting a little stick here.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 13/0 after the 4th over

Dhawan 10*
Uthappa 2*

Irshad made a good comeback in the last over after being hit for four the first ball. His speeds are not too encouraging though. The last ball was 124.4kph!

 

[Has]

Pakistan A team:
Yasir Hameed, Taufeeq Umar, Mohammad Hafeez, Bazid Khan,
*Hasan Raza, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mansoor Amjad, Yasir Arafat,
+Zulqarnain Haider, Umar Gul, Mohammad Irshad.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This time Gul gets the treatment. Short and wide, edged over the slips by Dhawan for his third boundary

 

[Mercenary]

The last ball was 124.4kph!

Well he's definitely at least high 80's. Could it be the speed gun? What is Gul's speed?

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 18/0 after 5 overs

Dhawan 14*
Uthappa 3*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well he's definitely at least high 80's. Could it be the speed gun? What is Gul's speed?

Gul's bowling a little faster than him. 130-134 kph

 

[Farhad]

Irshad is bowling into the strong wind - top speed so far 134.5 kph.

 

[Usman Chadda]

First boundary for Uthappa. Easily dispatches an Irshad delivery through mid-on for four

 

[Usman Chadda]

7 runs from that Irshad over.

India 25/0 after 6 overs

 

[Monsee]

HaHaHa...Gul, the trundler (according to many here) is bowling faster than the 'Lightening Rod' that is Irshad

Yeh to ajab maamla hai bhai

 

[Jonty]

our future prospects

 

[Waseem]

Leave Mohammad "Shoaib Akhtar" Irshad alone

He will pickup on speed, just wait and watch

 

[Farhad]

HaHaHa...Gul, the trundler (according to many here) is bowling faster than the 'Lightening Rod' that is Irshad

Yeh to ajab maamla hai bhai

Gul is bowling with the wind, not into it. Considerable difference emerges naturally, dear.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Dhawan drives well and gets the reward through a boundary. End of another Gul over

India 32/0 in 7 overs

Dhawan 18*
Uthappa 13*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Arafat into the attack replacing Irshad

 

[Usman Chadda]

Arafat's last ball - 135.5 kph. From Irshad's end too

 

[Waseem]

Uthappa and Dhawan's partnership was worth 263 runs in last game, let's see

 

[Farhad]

Arafat has replaced Irshad who had 0/17 off 3.

He concedes just a single in the over. Speed between 133-135.

Gul continues.

33/0 off 8.1 overs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Amazing cut shot by Dhawan off Gul. Playing really well these two, already their partnership is worth 38 runs!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Arafat reaching 137.7 kph.

India 40/0 in 9..1 overs

 

[Monsee]

Arafat's last ball - 135.5 kph. From Irshad's end too

Yeah

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 47/0 in 10 overs

Arafat losing his line and length

 

[Usman Chadda]

Irshad back into the attack, this time into the wind. Lets see...

 

[Waseem]

Irshad is back AGAIN

 

[Usman Chadda]

Two no-balls so far by Irshad

 

[Usman Chadda]

....and two boundaries aswell. Uthappa making use of Irshad's pace

 

[Waseem]

Irshad back into the attack, this time into the wind. Lets see...

He was bowling into the wind before, it's with the wind this time

 

[Mercenary]

has it made any difference to his pace at all?

 

[Monsee]

He was bowling into the wind before, it's with the wind this time

Now he is being pushed by the batsman...only if he was bowling on an empty pitch...

 

[Waseem]

has it made any difference to his pace at all?

YEAH, it's reaching the boundary MORE quickly now

 

[Usman Chadda]

Indian batsmen enjoying the bowling at the moment. Two consecutive boundaries off Arafat.

India 65/0 in 11.2 overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

Right Arm Off-spin of Hafeez introduced now. Irshad replaced after just one over, his figures read 4-0-27-0. Definitely been disappointing so far

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hafeez's first over carted off for 11 runs, including two boundaries each by Uthappa and Dhawan.

India 76/0 in 13 overs

Dhawan 39*
Uthappa 34*

 

[Waseem]

WOAH!! These 2 are killing our bowlers now

They better not make Hafeez ANGRY

 

[Amir]

Why did my stream start at 7? That is odd, either way the first over was just bowled for me, and Gul is bowling with some real fire!

 

[Amir]

Also why was Irshad bowling against the wind?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another cut shot for four by Dhawan. They are practically murdering our bowlers who have been loose so far. Arafat's last over disappears for 9 runs

India 85/0 in 14 overs

Dhawan 47*
Uthappa 35*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lovely coverdrive by Dhawan to bring up his fourth List A fifty.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 92/0 in 15 overs

Dhawan 51*
Uthappa 38*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Mansoor into the attack now.

Pathetic umpiring! The ball spun after pitching outside off-stump and he gave it as a wide

 

[pak4life]

which channel is showing this match in the uk if any?

 

[Waseem]

Come on Mansoor, show your skills and prove that you are the one for future

 

[Usman Chadda]

Drinks Break.

India 99/0 in 16 overs

Uthappa 43*
Dhawan 52*

Both the batsmen are in red hot form and are really taking the attack to the bowlers. Pakistan needs to stop the flow of runs by picking up quick wickets.

 

[Usman Chadda]

FIRST WICKET!

Shikhar Dhawan st Zulqarnain b Hafeez 52

Dhawan charges down the track, Hafeez reads the script well and pushes the ball wide outside off-stump. Dhawan misses and slips, Zulqarnain does the rest.

 

[UJ]

Sweet...now a few more!!

 

[Waseem]

Good on you Hafeez, let's clean up the tail now

 

[Hash]

99 for 1 after 16.4 overs?

They will score 280 odd so should be an interesting chase.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 102/1 after 17 overs

Y Venugopal Rao the new man in

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

good bowling by hafeez gets dhiwan

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good last over by Mansoor Amjad. 4 runs coming off it.

India 106/1 in 18 overs

Uthappa nearing his half-century

 

[Usman Chadda]

Run out chance may have been missed there. Mansoor taking a little more time than usual to release the ball, in the meantime Uthappa gets back in safely. This resulted in, Hafeez giving Mansoor a long stare

 

[Usman Chadda]

India 111/1 in 19 overs

Uthappa 48*
Venugopal Rao 5*

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another good over by Mansoor (just found out his petname is Khargosh i.e. Rabbit). Only 4 runs off it.

India 115/1 in 20 overs
