Here's the link for the radio. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_radio_northampton/

Tune in at 2.30pm (local) time though, that's when they start commentary.

 

[adnan yasin]

any inside news ..... whoz in whoz out ???

 

[Paradox]

Probably the same team, Fawad out Afridi in.

 

[adnan yasin]

SAJ said there might be few more changes in the team but i think final 11 not decided yet.

 

[Obeid]

Aamer might come in as well for Riaz possibly?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'd certainly like to see Aamer play instead of Wahab taking in the problem he's been facing in bowling wides and leaking extras!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Or if not Aamer then Tanvir Ahmed?!

 

[shahan91]

i think they should rest butt and put in umar amin... and possibly even put in yasir hameed.. i know they are not in the t20 squad but it will be good to give them some more time in the middle to adjust to the conditions

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

when does the game start (UK time)?

 

[Gunner786]

3pm

 

[Atif]

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

in the words of thank you thank you.........

 

[shahan91]

why the hell would they want to bowl

 

[Boi]

why the hell would they want to bowl

Maybe try a different stategy after the batted first in the previous games?

 

[Batman]

They should have been bat first like yesterday. They look to try bat second.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

lala fancies a chase......not too sure about that tbh.

 

[Inswinger]

why the hell would they want to bowl

Because we usually struggle while chasing and practice matches should be used to iron out the issues.

 

[Atif]

Commentators: All the tests matches Pakistan have played since Akhtar's debut, Akhtar has missed more than half of them.

Wonder how many wickets Akhtar would have had, had he played most of the test matches

could of been our highest wicket-taker if it wasn`t for injuries & controversies.

Swap Riaz with Akhtar and we have undoubtedly the best T20 side in the world. How dangerous does this lineup look!

Shoaib Akhtar rested this game ahead for first Twenty20 against Australia.
