Beautiful defense, that last one. Wow.

 

[ss3samzy]

Is Shafiq even a Punjabi speaker Waqar?

[Zamee]

220 would be nice for pakistan pitch wil turn big time

but Waqar is stating that it wont turn that much on day 2 and 3 :S

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

[khalil1986]

How many overs till tea?

 

[ss3samzy]

shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[Slickman]

Misbah is the new wall! a defence that cannot be breached!

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

but Waqar is stating that it wont turn that much on day 2 and 3 :S

is he no wonder he never bowled spin bowling

 

[ss3samzy]

oops i meant shot not shat

 

[Zamee]

Really bad bowling tbh, Monty got totally put off by the two Misbah Boomtuk's; Anderson and Swann have been bowling poor lines; Broad is the only guy who bowled well.

made my day

 

[Sledger]

Drops short again and Shafiq punishes it off the middle.

Lols that certainly did wake you up.

Pakistan's session though wickets!

 

[khalil1986]

All things considering excellent session, we were 103-4 and could have potentially folded but these two have played well.

 

[amirfanforlife]

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Trying to support asad innit lol

Don't think negative

 

[ninjafirstslip]

we have a pretty big tail for a team with bowling resources

 

[Areesh]

Good batting by these two. need to continue the same after tea.

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

another good session, slightly in england's favor.

no pakistan on top, i dont knw why so much praise for england bowlers lol, i remember south africa use to use same kind field settings when they use 2 tour asia, but these ***** use 2 say oh south africa are defensive lol, now its england doing it now ALL IS WEL

 

[murphyslaw79]

Good work by Pakistan!!!

I still say if you only lose 2 wickets in a session and score about 2.5 runs an over, then it will always be the batting sides session.

To really make it our day we need to ensure that we are only 5 down at the end of the day and have scored around 250.

 

[murphyslaw79]

another good session, slightly in england's favor.

Please explain why it was england's session? we scored over a 100 runs for the loss of 2 wickets?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Game is evenly balanced, but only takes a wicket to fall and pakistan are back in trouble again. Once again we have two well set batsmen at the crease and there should be no excuses for batsmen getting out to poor shots. Misbah looks a lil edgy at times and needs to be abit more postive. We need a last session without losing wickets and get through englands new ball.

Both batsmen should looking to get big 100s here for Pakistan! 300 is a must in 1st inns at very minimum!

219 would be some 119 to much for flopland

 

[bluffmasterv2]

how the hell is that England's session? it was 102/2

 

[JibranAnsari]

We lost two big wickets, though we scored at a healthy rate but the wicket also has eased out. Bravo pakistan for not losing anymore wickets but the scoreline favors england only just slightly.

Yeah good one.

England will win this match.

 

[IAJ]

This is Pakistan's session without any doubt. Remember that Paksitan lost two early wickets in this session and could easily have lost more, but Misbah and Asad batted well under preassure.

Really don't like this Bob Willis guy, talks alot of rubbish!

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Yeah good one.

England will win this match.

here we go again

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pitch is flattening out 350-400 is par I think

 

[Gobi Da Phul]

Yeah good one.

England will win this match.

pakistan wil crush england, learn to play spin bowling

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

25 more overs too go , awesome over rate by England today. Mostly cause as two spinners were on.

 

[SWERVE_uk]

I thought it would be a road or have our batsman just done what Engalnd did in dubai?

 

[malakian]

pakistan wil crush england, learn to play spin bowling

It's a shame that Pakistan have gone down the spinning route, they truly are the new India.

I expect them to go in with 4 spinners in the next test.

 

[sarmadsl]

Good stuf by asad here

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

last session will matter a lot , Pakistan should look out to bat long this session. Nothing silly please if we take the game , to day 2 with 4 down then we can surely tune in tomorrow.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

This is Pakistan's session without any doubt. Remember that Paksitan lost two early wickets in this session and could easily have lost more, but Misbah and Asad batted well under preassure.

My friend there is long way to go in this test match, so don't act like before then you might have to disappear again like the 1st match. The game is balanced good so far.

 

[sarmadsl]

If pakistan do not losse any wicket on this session then pak will have asvantage here in this match

 

[sarmadsl]

Good ball

 

[Sledger]

Defensive line.

 

[sarmadsl]

Good bowling

 

[Sledger]

[sarmadsl]

Still now its balanced and well recovery by both these

 

[Zeeraq]

Broad bowling

 

[Sledger]

Broad on now. Correct move, could cause problems.

 

[malakian]
