Quite important that we bowl them out for around 200, which is what Afghanistan have been making against most other teams. They are a decent spin bowling side so we don't want to be chasing much more than that.
 
Idiotic bowling why bowl short when you don’t even have a fielder in place and now puts a fielder there when it’s not even needed
 
Looks like a good batting pitch to be honest no ball stopping
 
Afghanistan have played 7 other games, and only the match vs SL in Cardiff had more empty seats than this.

I can only hope that people are stuck in traffic and haven’t been able to get to the ground on time. How can we not fill up Headingley for a crucial World Cup match given the huge Pakistani population in Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield?!

You do realize there was a fine leg back... that is a field for a short ball. Assessed that there wasn't as much zip in the pitch, so switched it to deep square leg.
 
Boundary fest. I can smell an upset coming here. Afghanistan is not that bad of a team to not cause an upset in so many games.
 
What happened to Amir from last match??? Looks like the practice match.
 
Afghanistan are going to knock us out of the world cup? Surely not!

Edit- That was out!
 
This is probably the best Batting pitch, and we lost the toss, there is no way we are improving net run rate on this pitch because afghan are not getting out at the very least before 250, man if Pak batted 1st we could realistically scored 400. y O y Sarfi, this was the toss u had to win.
