ICC CT 2017, 1st Semi-final | England v Pakistan | 14th June, 2017 | Cardiff | England Innings

[Azzurri]

Why did he avoided his trademark celebration???

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more!!!

 

[aniket1911]

Hales was wierdly out of touch today. Should have kept in play as other batsman won't miss out on such half vollies.

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow looking very dangerous.

So unlucky to not have played a game in this tournament. He would walk into our team.

 

[vandokkum]

Big wicket that. Raees has been far better than junaid

 

[akamaka]

review that

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Roman Reigns :AAG:

 

[Asif321]

yess its difficult to hit rumaan ......

 

[Saeed]

Rumman will get 5fer for sure.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Golden duck for Root coming up

 

[Markhor]

Big wicket, Hales is a dangerous player.

Need to keep chipping away at this England lineup which bats deep.

 

[JaDed]

Raees !!! Wd

 

[GLORY OF '92]

More cross seamers.

England will mostly bowl them

 

[itsme]

Hales was struggling to decide if he had to play him as a spinner or pacer

 

[ExpressPacer]

Rumman doing something Amir can't - getting an early wicket. He's creating plenty of chances.

 

[Titan24]

One more wicket and shadab will be heavily in the match

 

[shaaik]

Imagine if Bairstow was given out, England wd hv been 2 down by now and review also gone coz I m sure Bairstow wd hv reviewed it which means hales cdnt hv reviewed his decision

 

[Square Drive]

Wicket to fall next over iA!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Need to get Root early.

 

[Stallion__]

Rumman is a very clever bowler

 

[itsme]

Good to see juni back at his best

 

[ExpressPacer]

Still a long way to go though. Every batsman that walks out has the ability to out do the previous.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Mid 130s

And he is the one to take the wicket.

 

[Shaik]

Raees to Sarfraz: AMIR LAAIYE, LE JAAIYE. RAEES HAAZIR

 

[daytrader]

take that! who needs lbws

 

[Madplayer]

Rooty should be the next victim of roman reigns. Then morgany. And then butlery.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Good to bring on Imad. Has gotten Root twice.

 

[Titan24]

Rumman is a very clever bowler

Yes to be good at international cricket you have to be clever.
150 kph pace is useless if you dont have the brains to use it

 

[JaDed]

Now only if Root fails ,it's going to be paisa vasool!!

 

[baahubali-prabhas]

Get the wicket of Root or else he will grow like tree roots.. hard to get out if he is comfortable

 

[Vitaly]

Root is the biggest challenge for Pak

 

[aniket1911]

England has the best RR against spinners since 2015. Should be interesting how they go against Pakistan's spin duo.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Imad to bowl now.

 

[Hasan123]

Not a bad idea to bring Imad on

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Hales was struggling to decide if he had to play him as a spinner or pacer

as long as he takes the wicket should it matter?

 

[syed abbas]

Good move to bring Imad as Root struggles against left-arm spinners.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Raees got a wicket because Amir was cheering in the stands.

 

[ExpressPacer]

English batsmen are impatient and dots will create a lot of pressure.

 

[classic]

Good time to bring in Imad ..apply pressure with dot balls and England will give a few more here I feel.

 

[CricFan2012]

Ruman looks a lot like Azhar Ali

 

[ExpressPacer]

Terrific delivery.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Close! Almost got through

 

[aniket1911]

azam what was that.

 

[super hitter]

Any chances of rain guys?

 

[Madplayer]

Rumman is a very clever bowler

He doesnt have the most gifted skills but i can confidently say he is the most cunning bowler in Pakistan.

 

[Don-quixote]

Raees looks like a smart LOI bowler. Hoping for a good pakistani bowling performance today.

 

[Square Drive]

Oooh skids on

 

[Arsalan Pro]

37/1 after 7

 

[ExpressPacer]

Poor fielding.. Lets hope we hold onto our catches and save runs in the field.

 

[chuck]

Imagine if Bairstow was given out, England wd hv been 2 down by now and review also gone coz I m sure Bairstow wd hv reviewed it which means hales cdnt hv reviewed his decision

That's the issue with DRS. It's still very partial to umpire's call

 

[Azzurri]

Imad can be very tricky if he developed a traditional left arm spin delivery as well

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Bairstow doesnt want to face Raees, was forcing root for three on the last ball

 

[Hasan123]

Good over from Imad

 

[Square Drive]

Any chances of rain guys?

Nope no chance.

Nothing saving England today.

 

[Macho Mann]

Our pace bowling looks so weak without Amir.

we are better without amir

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Love Imads "Dark Shades".. so much Swag

 

[BlueAngel]

Great fielding Baba

 

[Naim]

PAkistan is showing some energy in field

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Imad looks like he can trouble a few English batsmen

 

[Shafi]

Our batting is too weak. Why can't Arthur gave chances to Haris? Really disappointing

 

[Hasan123]

Hafeez should definitely be used when stokes and morgan are batting.

 

[JaDed]

Bairstow is missing Junni

 

[Titan24]

Very good debut by Raees till now and he is yet to show his magic at the end

 

[ExpressPacer]

Just need to bowl as many dot balls as possible. Will lead to wickets.

 

[classic]

Any chances of rain guys?

Clear blue skies ..No rain expected for a few days if not weeks. Summer is here finally.

 

[Square Drive]

Man love this guy Rumman

 

[Red Devil]

He doesnt have the most gifted skills but i can confidently say he is the most cunning bowler in Pakistan.

Good control as well.

 

[JaDed]

English looking jittery

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow is a brilliant runner between wickets

 

[chuck]

Man love this guy Rumman

Which man?

 

[aniket1911]

Pakistan clearly didn't plan thorougly. England have their game based on singles and doubles with occasional boundaries, need to cut the single at third man.

Have same fielding Sa had against Kohli.

 

[classic]

Need the RR to be below 5.

 

[Ellipsism]

Raees isn't the most talented but he knows what he's doing, I like this guy.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Roman Reigns provided a breakthrough which Amir couldn't have

 

[roshanrocks]

40-1 : 7.4

Decent start by England... SOmehow I feel Raess will get one more in his next over.

 

[Square Drive]

Very good lines from Rumman.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Fast bowlers should avoid bowling slower deliveries today. Especially to these two. Their reflexes are beyond amazing.

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Atherton saying england would have wanted srilanka to win instead of Pakistan

 

[Markhor]

The two best batsmen in England at the crease now.

 

[Rayyman]

Bring on Hasan or Shadab soon.
