match starts at 2.30pm.

I'm in Leicester and not too far from Grace Road.

There's a light drizzle outside right now and generally looking pretty gloomy and fairly windy. Hopefully the clouds will disappear once the game starts though inshallah.

Great to have Saj and Sosami bhai in Leicester... Keep the updates rolling lads!!!

 

[Saj]

Cloudy but dry at the moment.

Just met and had a good chat with Razzaq bhai. Always a pleasure to meet him.

Saw me and stated "Passion is here, PakPassion." Posed for a few pics for my family, a great guy.

^ Late night?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

It's probably not telecasted because of the England game

 

[amirfanforlife]

Lol, Ajmal looks very tired.

 

[Saj]

Warmed up now and it looks like we might just avoid the rain.

Leicester batting first.

First misfield of the day from Ajmal

 

[Saj]

Ajmal to come onto bowl now.

Leicester are 38 for 1 from 4 overs.

 

[ballal10]

Looks as though someone might have asked him a question about the legality of his doosra

 

[Saj]

First wicket for the master Ajmal. Doosra that was hit straight to cover.

Leicester now 46 for 3

 

[AZ]

 

[Saj]

Leciester really struggling here.

Another wicket, this time to Sakib.

57 for 4 after 8 overs.

Still no sign of Razzaq yet.

 

[Saj]

Here's Razzaq. 58 for 5

Leciester in all sorts of trouble now.

Spinners causing the damage, another wicket for Sakib.

 

[Saj]

First ball played out defensively by the watchful Razzaq.

 

[Saj]

A warm welcome to Sosami who has joined me in the press box

 

[Fireworks11]

Leicester in a mess. 58/5. Razzaq in now.

 

[Equinox]

Hopefully Ajmal will go head-to-head with Razzaq.

 

[Fireworks11]

Surprising to see Razzaq come at 7.

 

[tahir_dj]

Razzaq or Ajmal who do you guys want to perform better agains each other

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Looks like no one trusts Razzaq these days. Just like the Pakistani team does, he is sent at 7.

 

[Fireworks11]

60/5. Ajmal vs Nixon.

 

[Saj]

Razzaq off the mark with a cover drive.

Leics 65 for 5 in the 10th over.

 

[Fireworks11]

Razzaq's not great against the spinners. Ajmal will fancy his chances against the dazzler.

 

[Equinox]

Worcestershire need to keep Shakib on. They have to get Razzaq early.

 

[Fireworks11]

66/5. Shakib is bowling well.

 

[SOSami]

Salaams all.

Key partnership for Leicestershire, two players with international experience against Shakib and Ajmal.

 

[Saj]

Razzaq very watchful at the moment, playing Tuk Tuk cricket

 

[Fireworks11]

W/Salam, thanks for the updates.

Watch out for the booming sixes.

 

[Equinox]

Leics RR still decent at the moment. As long as Razzaq is there they can get a good total. Getting Razzaq is the key for Worcs.

 

[tahir_dj]

I would have really prefered Razaaq playing the BlockBuster TOnight with Lahore Lions

 

[Saj]

Leciester just improving a little.

80 for 5 in the 12th over.

Nixon and Razzaq trying to rebuild.

 

[Saj]

Guys plenty of Razzaq, Ajmal and Sakib pictures to come.

Watch this space in the next couple of days.

 

[Saj]

Big sixer from Razzaq, over deep wicket....bang !

Rizzi moves onto 11

 

[Fireworks11]

He's warming up, getting his eye in.

 

[SOSami]

Nixon the aggressor!

 

[Saj]

Bang another sixer from Razzaq.

This time over long on.

The crowd in danger here

 

[chui_kadoo]

two sixes by Razzaq. I would love to see Razzaq hit Ajmal for consecutive sixes and smack him out the park

 

[tahir_dj]

Saj Bahi have you got camcoder?? just record Razzaq please

 

[SOSami]

Opposition not giving Razzla any width. Seems they have a gameplan against him.

Those plans will go out of the window if Razzaq is there at the end.

 

[Fireworks11]

The dazzler is on song, hope he's in the zone now.

 

[Saj]

Sakib to Razzaq, with Rizzi on 20.

108 for 5 in the 16th over

 

[tahir_dj]

time for some Razzler and Mystrey Ajmal show

 

[Fireworks11]

Razzaq will turn it on now.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq wasting too many balls

 

[PakFan2010]

 

[tahir_dj]

whos out?

 

[SOSami]

Razzaq gone. And there goes the match for Leicester I suspect...

Wayne White (or "Mr White" as Razzaq referred to him) in. He's the guy who hit the sixes alongside Razzaq up at Lancashire during that chase.

 

[PakFan2010]

Razzaq

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Damn didnt get going really (even though he hit 2 sixes )

Hope he balls awesome!

 

[Fireworks11]

Damn, Razzaq goes.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq out. Wasted too many balls. Should have made the most of it.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Game over now. Worcester will win this comfortably

 

[Saj]

Very good catch to remove Razzaq.

He skied one but the fielder judged it really well running back.

 

[Fireworks11]

Leics need 150 minimum.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Leicestershire look a weak side apart from Razzaq and macdonald. They would have got battered yesturday if it wasnt for the rain.

 

[Saj]

Ajmal back on now.

Scheduled to the bowl the 18th and 20th overs.

119 for 6 in the 18th over.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I would prefer it If Razzaq opened the batting like he did last year. It worked very well indeed and his team won the cup

 

[chui_kadoo]

Since I am supporting Leicestershire I want Ajmal to get spanked silly.

 

[Saj]

Another tidy over from Ajmal. Really keeping things tight.

124 for 6 from 18 overs.

 

[SOSami]

Leicestershire look a weak side apart from Razzaq and macdonald. They would have got battered yesturday if it wasnt for the rain.

Leicestershire not that bad!

James Taylor is one of the hottest English prospects.

Cobb has been scoring freely this competition and got 30 off 16 balls today.

Nixon, Hoggard experienced players.

It's not a bad team.

 

[Fireworks11]

150 seems unlikely.

 

[chui_kadoo]

7 off Ajmals over

 

[chui_kadoo]

Leicestershire not that bad!

James Taylor is one of the hottest English prospects.

Cobb has been scoring freely this competition and got 30 off 16 balls today.

Nixon, Hoggard experienced players.

It's not a bad team.

middle order looks fragile to me. They rely to much on Razzaq and mcdonald im afraid. Jefferson and the toit guy look poor. They lack a speedster also

 

[SOSami]

Straight six for Nixon. Leicester may make this 150 with a bit of luck.

 

[SOSami]

middle order looks fragile to me. They rely to much on Razzaq and mcdonald im afraid

True - middle order is missing one quality player.

Also, spin department apart from Henderson isn't great.

 

[Saj]

Good over for Leciester with Nixon hitting a massive six.

Ajmal to the bowl the final over, 139 for 6.

 

[Saj]

Another wicket for Ajmal.

A simple catch at cover.

Not easy to hit Ajmal out the park.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Paul Nixon keeping his teams hopes a live with a cameo

 

[chui_kadoo]

True - middle order is missing one quality player.

Also, spin department apart from Henderson isn't great.

They could do with a quickie also. Mcdonald and Razzaq are medium pace

 

[chui_kadoo]

Whats the par score on this pitch?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Need to get up to 150 minimum

 

[Saj]

Another wicket for Ajmal.

Nixon gone, stumped.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Ajmal gets his 3rd.
