[Syed1]

Don't leave your bat in the air when you duck yaar

 

[waleed88]

Guys how did younis get out yesterday ?

Dancing on the pitch

 

[imshally81]

Today Score
100/1

 

[Syed1]

Asad actually played well apparently, but was unlucky to chop on to the stumps

Yeah these guys are always unlucky..

 

[Boi]

Guys how did younis get out yesterday ?

Tried playing a flashing drive with his feet stuck in cement. Knicked off

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Guys how did younis get out yesterday ?

He went fishing ...

 

[QalandarFan]

33 Runs for Babar to His Hundred!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Alas, Grandhomme is back.

 

[Saeed]

50 run partnership of just 10 pvers.

 

[QalandarFan]

Guys how did younis get out yesterday ?

Chased a wide delivery and edged it.

 

[On_the_up]

100 runs up for the day.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 95 runs

 

[MMHS]

Guys how did younis get out yesterday ?

While fishing - both with the rod & net at same time.

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on didn't go for four again.

 

[Syed1]

Colin Destroyer into the attack

 

[waleed88]

So the pitch is not conducive at all today... very good news MashaAllah

 

[QalandarFan]

When does the first Session end again?

 

[Syed1]

Surprising we haven't given Grandhomme a wicket yet

 

[Hasan123]

Need to see off Wagner

 

[Boom boom legend]

Excellent performance so far from the team. Only issue is that we have two walking wickets in Rahat and Imran so we only really have Amir who can make a decent contribution after this.

Anything above 220 and I would be pleased and confident of getting a draw or maybe even a win depending on how we ball.

 

[mz123]

oh, sohail is the 3rd highest run getter in this series....

 

[Syed1]

Lovely back foot drive

 

[Abdullah719]

When does the first Session end again?

Another 48 minutes.

 

[Hasan123]

Surprising we haven't given Grandhomme a wicket yet

Don't jinx it.

 

[imshally81]

Sorry Wagner... You are useless against Sohail khan

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat isn't playing

 

[waleed88]

oh, sohail is the 3rd highest run getter in this series....

And the top wicket taker I think for us

 

[Justcrazy]

If these two can stay some more time at crease , it will be great for pakistan.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Sarfarazian92]

shot yaar

 

[QalandarFan]

Sohail Khan current batting average - 23.28

 

[Syed1]

Wagner is what Wahab should have been if he wasn't utterly mediocre..

 

[Hasan123]

Babar in full flow is brilliant to watch.

 

[Boom boom legend]

We actually have Riaz too. Really need him to step up for once.

Beautiful shot by Babar.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Superb partnership

 

[waleed88]

Man regardless of the result, I'm proud of the fight our boys have put up... this is something to be proud of.. fantastic fight guys

 

[QalandarFan]

What a Shot Babar into 70's!

 

[Syed1]

You guys also need to remember the longer SK bats the worse his bowling output is going to be

 

[Nasty Naz]

Love to see a youngster like Babar playing so well in foreign conditions that are also difficult.

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar Average lifted from 31 at the start of the match to 49.75!

 

[Boom boom legend]

Rahat isn't playing

Haha got confused. Wahab needs to step up with the bat though.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

How many overs has wagner bowled in this spell?

 

[waleed88]

I will rate this knock by Babar one of the best I have seen by a Pakistani in a while.. this kid is special... MashaAllah nazar na lagay

 

[Syed1]

Man regardless of the result, I'm proud of the fight our boys have put up... this is something to be proud of.. fantastic fight guys

The fight is being displayed by only one or two boys.. lets not include all of the "boys" in it and give them undue credit

 

[QalandarFan]

No Luck for Wagner today!

 

[shah_1]

87 runs behind

We need a magical effort from our bowlers

 

[heddie19]

Babar is exquisite MashaAllah. Pakistan have found Kohli of their own

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar is something else

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Babar will end up getting one of his partners runout with those beautiful straight drives of his.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar reaches his highest test score

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

The fight is being displayed by only one or two boys.. lets not include all of the "boys" in it and give them undue credit

Maan I missed your commentary yesterday. Where were ya??

Btw PAK trail by only 87. Wonderful comeback.

We shouldn't forget that Babar came in at no.3 and he's still there mashallah. If he gets a ton then this innings will surely be remembered for a long time.

 

[waleed88]

The fight is being displayed by only one or two boys.. lets not include all of the "boys" in it and give them undue credit

Well let me point something out, Babar's score this innings is the highest score of the series so far.. so lets not forget both teams top 5 hasn't been getting the runs besides Raval

 

[On_the_up]

Terrific fightback by Pakistan this morning.

I just hope it doesn't evoke the feeling of "what might have been" at the end of the match due to the top order failing.

 

[Hasan123]

Haha got confused. Wahab needs to step up with the bat though.

Wahab is useless with the bat. Don't expect anything from him.

 

[waleed88]

One of the best knocks I have seen by a Pakistani in a while

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sarfraz is so under-rated as a test batsman. He can take the game away in a jiffy and effortlessly play with the bowler's mind. His quickfire 40 odd (should have scored more) has injected much needed impetus to this PAK innings.

 

[Jabo]

On paper it looks good

Riaz/Amir/Imran

can bat a little bit or stick around with Babar

But need something really special from Sohail, a Stokes like inning.

 

[Boom boom legend]

If Babar can get a hundred I would rate it twice as high with the situation we were in. Special special talent.

Have a feeling Amir will produce some magic in the second innings too which will set us up nicely in the 4th innings.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Southee bhai thora reham karna

 

[QalandarFan]

We actually have Riaz too. Really need him to step up for once.

Beautiful shot by Babar.

Don't rule Amir out either. Scored a 73 not out against this very team in ODI's. Also batted well during the Eng Tour. The only one who can't bat is IK (7 matches 0 Runs)

 

[Jabo]

not again

He's the Kohli for Pakistan, far better than Azhar/Shafiq, the latter being so protected and even still.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Pathetic running

 

[QalandarFan]

Wonderful Cut Shot but great fielding!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Even Sher Khan's leave yields 4 runs

 

[Boi]

Sher Khan trolling the kiwis now )

 

[On_the_up]

Amir should come in in front of Wahab. Is more capable of striking the ball.

 

[Saeed]

through the slips.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Sohail trolling the NZ bowlers and fielders

 

[QalandarFan]

Whoa how did that go for Four

 

[Hasan123]

The fight is being displayed by only one or two boys.. lets not include all of the "boys" in it and give them undue credit

But you wouldn't have thought this fight would have happened with Azhar as captain. Had we lost heavily the 1st person you would have blamed would have been Azhar regardless what he would have done in the match.

 

[waleed88]

Looool beautiful leave shot by SK

 

[Aman]

Our bowlers struggling to pick up wickets once the wicket has flattened and batsmen are no longer giving them away. Nothing new.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 81 runs now

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan can take a small lead here, just need to continue doing it for another 20 overs.

 

[Syed1]

But you wouldn't have thought this fight would have happened with Azhar as captain. Had we lost heavily the 1st person you would have blamed would have been Azhar regardless what he would have done in the match.

Azhar would be blamed if he deserves the blame.

 

[Zeshan547]

Guys cool down for goodness sake and don't jinx babar, and he is no kohli and won't be one, he is even better than him, now happy?

 

[QalandarFan]

If only our top order had played positively and shown some spine we would've been in a much better position!

 

[On_the_up]

Ahh the leave alone middle for four.

Don't find that in the MCC coaching manual.

 

[waleed88]

We need to bat our 24 overs and get as many as we can before the new ball comes in

 

[QalandarFan]

Guys cool down for goodness sake and don't jinx babar, and he is no kohli and won't be one, he is even better than him, now happy?

Totally I mean Babar Averages 50 plus in all formats he even averages 116 in T20I. He is already a legend.
