[ZAK]

Azhar Ali hits his first in international Cricket.

 

[adnan yasin]

nicely watch the ball.. and played a defensive punch

 

[dblock]

when is lunch?

An hour to go. 1 pm as per usual.

 

[Amjid Javed]

when is lunch?

In the Pavillion i think, ask the Chef!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

nearly azhar gone

kindly explain how?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sucked into that guide shot. Thankfully didnt go hard at the ball and the ball drops just short of third slip

 

[iZeeshan]

ANy link so i can watch it too?

Yes, but can't help you here

Can't risk getting banned from PP

 

[immubhai]

Mashallah to Azhars progress. All prayers are with him!

 

[IAJ]

Azhar Ali is a good player of spin, let us pray he survies the fast bowlers and I am looking forward to see him against smith

 

[talha3]

lunch in half an hour. great achievement if we don't lose any more wickets till then

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan hopefully can get to Lunch unscathed with these two guys at the crease!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

pak really putting their foot down now.

 

[ZAK]

Azhar Ali seems to have a good defence.

 

[adnan yasin]

down the leg side ... leg bye for 2 runs

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

29/1 in the 11th

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/31 | 11 Overs | Trail by 222 runs

First boundary for Azhar Ali in Test cricket.

 

[afridi_captain]

Butt dealing in 4s here - what about stirke rotation to keep Azhar off strike for as much as possible.

why would you wanna take the no.3 off the strike if is not good enough then he shouldn't be there. You can't treat no.3 batsman like tailender.

 

[hur rizvi]

Azhar looking nervous needs to relax a bit...


But so far he has played well

 

[Strike!]

Careful azhar.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

score plz?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

so far so good from azhar ali.

 

[Friend786]

yuvraj is back in form !

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan 31-1

Trail by 222 runs

 

[ShehryarK]

Yes, but can't help you here

Can't risk getting banned from PP

Wise man!

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

score plz?

29/1

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

I Farhat squandered the opportunity to score on what appears to be a wicket full of runs. The conditions today are quite different from yesterday.

 

[ZAK]

2 leg byes

 

[ZAK]

31/1

 

[akbarc1]

3 runs for butt

 

[saeed-sohail]

Com,n folks stop blaming Broad he had a word to aamir and thats it.Aamir needs to stay away from the batsman.

 

[adnan yasin]

3 more to butt . and pakistan ..... right on the pads..easily put it aaway

 

[hur rizvi]

Good shot Butt

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

why would you wanna take the no.3 off the strike if is not good enough then he shouldn't be there. You can't treat no.3 batsman like tailender.

it is a valid point brother.

 

[talha3]

19 more runs to avoid the follow on...

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

3 runs taken by butt
34/1

 

[ZAK]

3 to SB

 

[akamaka]

Speaking of spin pointing has said that he will be using smith, north and katich alot, since his bowlers are coming back from injuries. But now that wont be the case as the conditions are very seamer friendly

 

[ahmed16]

Hmmm, lacks good footwork but that is a given for most Pakistani batsmen, However it looks like Azhar Ali knows what ball to play and what no to.

 

[adnan yasin]

should have left it easily .... it was way too short .. come on azhar ali ..watch it boy

 

[hur rizvi]

Come on Azhar no need to play such deliveries

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good bounce for Bollinger. Almost took the edge of Azhar's bat

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

19 more runs to avoid the follow on...

please dont jinx that. :aamir

 

[adnan yasin]

34/1

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

short leg in place.

 

[akbarc1]

4 for azhar ali

 

[Friend786]

well played !

 

[afridi_captain]

four

 

[hur rizvi]

Nicely played by Azhar ...Shabash

 

[adnan yasin]

leg byes?? 44444444

 

[Sakss]

good stuufffff boyssssss

 

[Random Aussie]

Hmm 253 is an interesting score.

Pak off to a decent start.

By the way, for all the speed gun PPers, I note the gun here shows both Bollinger and HIlf notably faster than Aamer. Any dispute?

Congrats to Aamer on the 4 wicket haul, he reminds me a bit of Hilf when he started. You can tell he is a top bowler but didn't get the early rewards that others have gained.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Short leg and a leg gully in place

 

[adnan yasin]

oh runs for azhar ali .. gr8

 

[ZAK]

to Azhar

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/38 | 12 Overs | Trail by 215 runs

7 off the over.

 

[Random Aussie]

Bloody Salman Butt yet again.....this guy is getting like Ijaz against us.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Just tickled past the keeper for 444444444444 !

 

[ZAK]

38/1

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Bloody Salman Butt yet again.....this guy is getting like Ijaz against us.

 

[hur rizvi]

It is getting brighter ....

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

12 gone 38/1

 

[akbarc1]

Single off the first ball of the over for butt

 

[akamaka]

Bloody Salman Butt yet again.....this guy is getting like Ijaz against us.

Come on mate u guys have hussey, we need someone as well.

 

[dblock]

Bloody Salman Butt yet again.....this guy is getting like Ijaz against us.

Has only scored 18 runs so far. Nothing to get alarmed about but he looks quite assured.

..he got a wicket in his third oveR?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Azhar looks edgy at times but then plays some good shots. Hope he can stick in their.

Looks like Aussies are going to try some short stuff and chin music at him!

 

[ZAK]

1 to Salman

 

[adnan yasin]

honestly butt looking to me a candidate for LBW... since begining... he is bring his left foot way too early

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

azhar to face against hilfy.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Some clouds building away from Lord's

Bulldozer and Hilf getting the odd delivery above 140km/hr

 

[Hooker]

Seen enough Azhar has a good technique may find himself at the top of the order by the end of the series.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Pakistan RR 3.03
Last 10 ovs 33/1 RR 3.30
Min overs remaining 76.1

 

[Sakss]

20 mins to lunch

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Cloud cover coming?

 

[Random Aussie]

..he got a wicket in his third oveR?

No I mean early in his career, his Test bowling average was quite high.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 1/39 | 13 Overs | Trail by 214 runs

 

[Random Aussie]

Bulldozer and Hilf getting the odd delivery above 140km/hr

That's about as much a response as I am likely to get eh

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan off to almost similar start as aussies
