[Swaraj!!]

To be frank Pakistan are the ones batting last this test....so they can take all the time they want here.....we are just about closing the 2nd day.......

 

[JibranAnsari]

Broad is better than gul , I have no doubt now.

 

[Maher96]

Subs serving chaaa to Don MHK.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should be aiming to get lead up and above 150 and the tail can come in and have a cow lashing session against some very tried england bowlers.

 

[Zamee]

6 more overs to go. Stretch the lead to 100 without any loss
Come on lads

[Express Pace]

Misbah is currently grinding England into submission, I predict a second innings collapse for England.

Misbah legend.

 

[Shahzebayub]

[Justcrazy]

Mohsin giving batting Tips to Umar Akmal

[Zamee]

Brain fart by Adnan.

 

[talha3]

50 for Misbah! Well played! Loving the lack of celebration. Knows his job is not done. Wants to make sure his team is in a comfortable position.

 

[Justcrazy]

50 ...........

 

[Maher96]

Bacharayy door door ke tak geya hosiii .

 

[cricfan4ever]

[NJamal]

50 for the Captain Wall, well played mate. Keep batting like this to make the English bowlers cry more.

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for Tuk tuk Master!

shabash captain Saab!

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

5 more overs to go

 

[Zamee]

wow that spun

 

[Iffitheking]

50 for Misbah...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 for Tuk Tuk

 

[Amjid Javed]

Adnan needs to be careful, either needs to go for his shots or play safe!

 

[Asif321]

misbah is grinding england

more punishment then wht is getting by jail

 

[talha3]

Misbah is definitely Pakistan's wall.

 

[Zamee]

damn!! Misbah struggled to keep that out.

 

[anakwalajinn]

50(140), target achieved

 

[Maher96]

Nearly mix up. There.

 

[NJamal]

100 overs bowled in Pakistan's Innings.

 

[Shahzebayub]

5 over remain

 

[JibranAnsari]

The next target is to drag the innings to 125 overs mark.

 

[Swaraj!!]

wow that spun

Thats brilliant for Pakistan....remember!!!

 

[talha3]

Credit to Adnan as well. Came in with the new ball and has shown very good application.

 

[Amjid Javed]

83 lead and just 5 overs to go now....

 

[IAJ]

Waiting for a speciall Misbah-six to surpise everyone before the stumps..

 

[Maher96]

Misbah next 50 should come off 50 balls.

 

[Asif321]

akmal going ok

 

[ads101]

Told people we'd have no problems getting 100 lead. It's 200 which is debatable.

 

[majiz]

the great wall of pakistan

not been clean bowled since 2008

 

[Zamee]

thats brilliant for pakistan....remember!!!

:d :d

 

[Swaraj!!]

Tire English bowlers and bring forth fitness problems...go Misbah go!!!

They havent bowled 100 overs in an innings in like forever.....

 

[IAJ]

Thats brilliant for Pakistan....remember!!!

Do you want Pakistan to win or England to lose?

 

[Maher96]

The more adnan plays the better hell become. I defo think his batting is better than sarfraz's.

 

[Hamxa89]

The Pakistan definitely in front - Waqar )

 

[hazen_batti]

Lead looking good now. Tuk Tuk Zindabad!

 

[Zamee]

Asad should take lessons from Adnan!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Credit to Adnan as well. Came in with the new ball and has shown very good application.

yup , he depends more on his reflexes than his technique. He gets squared up every 3rd ball but good play by him.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

survive the day -

 

[Maher96]

Ohhh bumble wishing for boom boom. We all do,

 

[Shahzebayub]

Why not kp bowl

 

[Vegitto1]

Need to make England make up for all the overs the did not have to bowl at Pakistan in England

 

[Maher96]

Loool now bumble wanting 10 percent because he made boom boom famous hahaha.

 

[talha3]

OK I have to go now. Hopefully these two can see the last few overs out and it will be Pakistan's session.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

good relxes by aadi

 

[Osman]

adnan has done well here! he is no mug with the bat...unlike sarfaraz

 

[NJamal]

England should be thankful that this is not a timeless Test because Misbah could have literally killed the English bowlers. lol

 

[Zamee]

Why not kp bowl

Chup kar yar Strauss na parh le kahin

 

[Maher96]

Adnan into 20's now.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Well on course for a 150 run lead.

 

[Hamxa89]

Last 4 overs remaining .. Bring out the reverse sweep/slog sweep

 

[Maher96]

Ohh nice shot there from adnan. Looks comfortable against spin.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another single to Misbah

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

I still think Pakistan played good cricket

 

[Maher96]

Misbah has up the tempo here against swann.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Single to Akmal

 

[Hamxa89]

Amir Sohail.. Always the pessimist

 

[nads_rocks]

Adnan has played well, very happy with his innings.

 

[NJamal]
