Pak Vs SA: Test 3: Day 2: Score Updates

[MIG]

131/5 is the SA score in reply to 157 AO.

Day 1: Stumps - South Africa trail by 26 runs South Africa: 131/5 (39.0 Ovs)
A Prince*18(54)
P Harris0(5)

Pakistan: 157
M Asif10-2-20-2
D Kaneria*13-3-29-1

Run Rate : 3.36 Current Partnership: 3(10)


Pakistan are still fighting it out but own goals such as Akmals missed stumping off Kaneria will not help our cause - but we continue to hope

 

[CricketBuff]

first hour to be very crucial. Hope Inzi starts with Asif and Kaneria in the attack.

 

[Amir]

First runs of the moring off Harris's bat as the gully fails to miss one.

 

[Amir]

Seems liek the track has gotten a bit flatter. How does that happen overnight? Do the curators purposefully use a heavy roller to help the home team?

 

[KB]

Prince gooooone

 

[KB]

Looks like the bat might have hit the pitch rather than the ball.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Prince gone, Danish strikes

 

[ataullah]

outtttttttttttt prince

 

[the_game]

Akmal dropped that one too. Rebound off the glove into Farhat's hands. God, Akmal needs help.

 

[iZeeshan]

Thats a huge wicket, wether it was or not!

 

[pak4life]

who caught the ball it was mayhem there!

 

[darkmoon459]

Kaneria strikes early ,we need one more of boucher soon.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Great ball to Boutcher first up.

 

[KB]

Got to say poor keeping from Akmal again.

 

[pak4life]

was that another stumping chance missed

 

[12thMan]

Farhat or whoever was at silly point. AKamal tried to snatch it but Kaneria was saved

 

[KB]

Harris is gone as well./

Caught Younis, bowled the relentlessly brilliant Asif

 

[the_game]

Got to say poor keeping from Akmal again.

He needs serious help. His keeping has gone from bad to worse!

 

[UJ]

We have our noses in front now!!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Asif get rids of Harris, bowled Asif Caught Younis

 

[12thMan]

Harris gone. Pak is coming back

 

[the_game]

Harris gone! Great start! 133 for 7.

 

[iZeeshan]

More wickets! We may just keep it under 25.

And the Asif Younis partnership grows...

 

[ataullah]

outtttttttttt

 

[darkmoon459]

Harris is gone ,caught in slips by younis.

 

[Amir]

Great start boys. If we can get rid of Boucher now...we may be able to get some sort of lead. But SA still got two recgonized batsmen...we need to contain them toa lead of 30-50 AT MOST!

 

[KB]

Younis Khan has caught well in this series - very important when you have a bowler like Asif

 

[Osman]

and harris gone too .. this is brilliant !!!!

 

[pak4life]

hall is the danger player he will attack

 

[KB]

Andrew Hall - certainly a LBW candidate

 

[Easa]

133/7. Great start to the morning for Pakistan.

 

[darkmoon459]

hall is the danger player he will attack

Kaneria will get him ,trust me.

 

[Saj]

2 for 2 today. Superb start for Pak

Need to get Bouche early now and who knows we may have a lead.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow Younis has more catches then keepers in this series

Amazing...

 

[pak4life]

kamran should be rested for the one dayers the guy is completly out of sorts

 

[darkmoon459]

9 catches for younis so far ,still onemore inning to go ,

 

[12thMan]

was that another stumping chance missed

yes. could have been stumped and it would have been a clean out

 

[the_game]

Boucher is the target now. He loves these situations.

 

[KB]

Hall crowded by men.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hall has made a very good 167 in the past, so we need to break this partnership.

 

[darkmoon459]

Does anyone knows the most # of catches taken by a player ,other then the Keeper.

 

[CricketBuff]

Rameez is a useless commentator. Keeps harping on how fortitios Pak is to get rid of Prince. By the way that was another missed stumping by Akmal

 

[Oxy]

137-7.

Pak well and truly in the game.

 

[12thMan]

Does anyone knows the most # of catches taken by a player ,other then the Keeper.

Thanx ,and younis khan have the chnace to meet or beat that record ,cool.

 

[Oxy]

If anyone was watching that 'play & miss' by Hall off Asif - note how Akmal does NOT get his whole body shape behind the line of the ball as he takes the ball.

I noted it in the last test - if that had been a nick, his body would have been going left, his hand would have been going right!

Serious technical flaw

 

[Saj]

goner !

Beauty from Danish caught behind.

Yes Akmal caught one

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Hall out, Danish takes another

 

[TheSaint]

Akmal catches one--Kaneria gets Hall-- a big turner curling away...

 

[iZeeshan]

Hall gone! Thank you! Kaneria!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Saj]

Leg spinner just in the right area by Danish. Thin edge.

Lovely piece of bowling from Danish, too good for Hall

 

[ali_ed2006]

another one bites the dust!

 

[Lightning]

Kaneria running through the SAfricans here. yay

 

[Oxy]

Kaneria gets Hall! Caught behind by Akmal.

 

[darkmoon459]

Kaneria get Mr Hall............wwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooooo

 

[MIG]

Who would have thought Kaneria would be mowing them down !

 

[Usman Chadda]

And Akmal takes a catch

South Africa 140/8

 

[CricketBuff]

Guys, would you believe it, we might get a lead here

 

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 140/8

superb start by pakistan... come on game on!

 

[pak4life]

please please dont let the tail hang around keep the pressure up

 

[Oxy]

Last night I would have settled for 200.

Now, 170 would be awesome - anything below would be staggering!!!

 

[darkmoon459]

2 more to go ,come on pakistan ,mow them down quick.

 

[12thMan]

well done Akmal. he might not have known there was a edge so caught it. but a good catch

 

[Saj]

Big spin from Danish here.

Bowlling with a lovely loop and good rhythm.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

wicked start by Pakistan... what a fightback we are doing in this game !!

 

[Oxy]

Thyat was a real beauty by DK - and his 1st to Steyn is a corker!

 

[TheSaint]

Kaneria looks a different bowler since his runup has been modified by Mushi- credit where due - Inzi & PCB deserve this one.

 

[Oxy]

well done Akmal. he might not have known there was a edge so caught it. but a good catch

Its the difficult ones he is taking - sadly the easy ones are the ones that hes dropping!

 

[Easa]

Danish has bowled very well for the whole series and if finally getting due credit here. It was a beautiful delivery from him to get rid of Hall.

140/8

 

[darkmoon459]

Boucher is still the dangerman.

 

[Saj]

Surprising that Boucher has exposed Steyn to Asif.

 

[12thMan]

5 wickets per session. hopefully this session it is just SA 5 wickets and Pakistani openers play out an hour

 

[Amir]

So who wants to drop Kaneria now?

 

[TheSaint]

Asif round the wicket-- thats something new --maybe to try a bouncer

 

[Amir]

Seems like Kaneria is getting his touch back again I am so happy he is finally suceeding again.

 

[Amir]

Asif round the wicket-- thats something new --maybe to try a bouncer

I am thinkign he wants to angle it across for a catch.

 

[Easa]

Seems like Kaneria is getting his touch back again I am so happy he is finally suceeding again.

Actually, he has bowled very well all throughout the series without much luck.

 

[TheSaint]

Dan-the Man to continue- lets hope he gets a fiver unless Asif wants to party as well- 4 each also sounds nice though.

 

[Amir]

Actually, he has bowled very well all throughout the series without much luck.

Agreed but now he is getting that wicket taking knack back. (no pun intended)

 

[the_game]

Excellent fightback.
