Pakistan trail by 62 runs here.

 

[Fawad2010]

I find all the 'ooh-aah's' of English players around the bat funny.

 

[Zamee]

younis survives again !!

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of the over, Pak 131/2, Trail by 61 runs.

Hafeez 68*
Younis 1*

Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

 

[haseebbabar]

wait...what?

not being sarcastic the man is something ...tall good looks cute lips eyes , is a good bowler n bats well.... wish i was like him : /

 

[Fawad2010]

oh Broad, your avg is still 32

 

[Strike!]

No more wickets please.

 

[insaftak]

to hit a of Swann!

 

[Zamee]

off the topic
Afridi got mauled by Hobart Hurricanes lol

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch is flat, just need Patience.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Need to build partnership. 2 - 75 runs partnerships will mean Pakistan lead by 100.

 

[Areesh]

Azhar is turning out be a big disappointment now.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Short ball, pulled for 1..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should try and get to 400 in the first innings.... to win otherwise there is always a chance England will fight back

 

[jattafridi]

broad gonna take 5fer

 

[Zamee]

probably last over before lunch. Play it safe lads. Broad is gonna throw some bouncers for sure

 

[insaftak]

Azhar is turning out be a big disappointment now.

averages 42.

That's good enough for a rookie.

 

[talha3]

Atherton doesn't know Hafeez is the best player of the short ball in the team. He just miscued one before.

 

[NJamal]

Azhar failed after a long time in batting.

 

[Justcrazy]

Good spell by Broad...... He has big heart.

 

[ads101]

Hafeez should get a century here.

 

[Asif321]

Taufeeq passed his test,
Azhar failed his test
Shafiq is the next in line

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

broad gonna take 5fer

haan tu kisi na kisi ne tu wickets leni hi hai na! Nothing biggie in it...

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Hefeez should insha'Allah get his century,and hopefully go beyond. Looksin good nick but gotta be careful against the short ball.

 

[Swaraj!!]

not being sarcastic the man is something ...tall good looks cute lips eyes , is a good bowler n bats well.... wish i was like him : /

Well if you play that side of the field

To me he looks like a petulant snot.......the way he bowled against us might have something to do with it....but there is more to the story....

 

[Justcrazy]

Not all Batsman in the Team will score, what you need is the one scoring should score big .....

 

[Zamee]

Azhar failed after a long time in batting.

He was piling up against weak oppostions anyways

 

[Justcrazy]

needs a big hundred something like 150 here.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Shot!! boundary to Younis...

 

[adnan yasin]

played it beautifully on the side for

by younis khan

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at the end of the over, Pak 136/2, Trail by 56 runs.

Hafeez 69*
Younis 5*

Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

[hazen_batti]

Barbie is bowling very good. He is surely a great bowler. Kind of a bowler who is effective in any kind of conditions and on any surface.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should aim at playing out the next session without loosing any more wickets..... These two must take them to some sort of lead..........

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Jimmy Anderson back in action...

 

[adnan yasin]

Last over before lunch

 

[Swaraj!!]

Not all Batsman in the Team will score, what you need is the one scoring should score big .....

It doesnt hurt as bad if he didnt even get a start.....what hurts is the 15s, 20s etc.......

 

[Strike!]

What a leave.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

it should be the last over before lunch

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 56 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Zamee]

Its reversing.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Azhar is turning out be a big disappointment now.

He's averaging 42.

Been solid at number 3 for around a year.

A couple bad inns and you're a disappointment.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last over ........ Plzzzzzzzzz play safe.

 

[Areesh]

Good shot by .

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

most prolly last 3 balls before Lunch at day 2.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

well one lesser wicket would have been ideal .. but i take this as well .. want these two .. to bat out the next session

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez in danger zone (60-80). Should carry on for a big hundred.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Anderson bowling a tight line.

 

[Zamee]

Solid defence by Hafeez

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single to Hafeez.. Pak moves on to 137/2..

 

[Swaraj!!]

Barbie is bowling very good. He is surely a great bowler. Kind of a bowler who is effective in any kind of conditions and on any surface.

Anderson, Broad et all were pretty crappy bowlers who transformed themselves to match winners with slight adjustments.......shows what well thought coaching and guidance can do.....

 

[Zamee]

1 ball to go. Come on younis

 

[Areesh]

Khana kab hoga?

 

[talha3]

Overall still Pakistan's session.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

nice shot for one

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

not being sarcastic the man is something ...tall good looks cute lips eyes , is a good bowler n bats well.... wish i was like him : /

If I could be like anyone I would choose Shane Watson

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

He was piling up against weak oppostions anyways

He's a rookie.

They were all test nations, and I don't remember Dale Steyn and co. Being weak opposition.

 

[Zamee]

Lunch

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

single to Younis to end the over...

 

[Strike!]

Pakistan's session despite the loss of two wickets.

 

[adnan yasin]

1st Session

Pakistan 96/2 runs in 28 overs

3.42

 

[jattafridi]

Lunch time

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

at Lunch Day 2, Pak 138/2, Trail by 54 runs.

Hafeez 70*
Younis 6*

Azhar Ali 1
Taufeeq 58

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

one more run taken ... Pakistan done well in this session

 

[insaftak]

Decent Session for Both England and Pakistan!

Pakistan well on top. needs to score a big 100 here.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

138 | 2 | 43

 

[Fawad2010]

2 wickets, 96 runs, RR 3.43

Pretty good session for us, barring AA's wicket

 

[Love Pakistan]

Apart from Broad, England looking flat! I think Strauss will be happy cuz the 2 wickets came just before the break!

 

[adnan yasin]

Pak 138/2

Trail by 54

Hafeez 70 Younis khan 6

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Total (all out; 72.3 overs; 309 mins) 192 (2.64 runs per over)

Total (2 wickets; 42.6 overs) 138 (3.20 runs per over)

run rates ehem ehem

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Poor shot by azhar. Hafeez needs 150 and yk or Misbah a century. 390 minimum and don't expect much from Shafiq.

 

[Zamee]

Need a 100 run partnership by these two

 

[Zeeraq]

Good session except Azhar wicket.

 

[Fawad2010]

Only 54 behind now, expect the lead of ~50 by tea, fingers crossed.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Pakistan scored 96 runs in first session on Day 2 in 28 overs @ 3.428

 

[adnan yasin]

i expected 90 runs in this session 2 wickets

they score more then expected

Hopefully in next session we lose only 1 wicket .. with 90 runs

 

[WalkingWiggett]

[Azhar Ali] was piling up against weak oppostions anyways

Like 90 versus the weak South Africa and 92* versus the weak England, yes - of course!

 

[Swaraj!!]

Thing is......England will go in a lot happier and will come out sprightlier.....

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

62 overs to go ... at 3.20 rr ... we can be add another 199 runs in the day .... ... that would take us 145 ahead of England .. by close of play
