Last over of the days play.

Misbah will need to get through the day and score a 100 tomorrow to see us up towards 300 inshallah!

[Sledger]

That's right Misbah, just shut up shop.. stay there for tomorrow.

) )

Man is a genius.

 

[dhump]

Like always second one to follow monty needs the dose actuallyl

 

[Asif321]

hahahhahaha Mard e haq

 

[Jawiz]

omg misbaniac !

 

[akheR]

lol, don't like the sardar )

 

[Sledger]

I think Misbah wants to get his century before Tendulkar gets his.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Smack smack tuk tuk smack smack )

 

[JibranAnsari]

Broad and Swann superb today.

LOL at this board for thinking Panesar was better than Swann based on a warm up game. Big LOL.

He was bowling well before he was exposed to boomtuks. Panesar is bound to have nightmares for a few days to come.'
and two more as i say.

 

[Asif321]

hahahahahhaha anotherrr

 

[DOOSRA95]

Misbah's really unpredictable isn't he! Potentially the last over of the day and he stays at the crease, makes slight room and smacks him over mid-off

 

[anakwalajinn]

Legend ul-Haq

 

[Justcrazy]

is really issed: with monty

 

[WalkingWiggett]

Double hit from the MBA!

 

[JibranAnsari]

great boomtuks.

 

[Zamee]

Ajmal telling taufeeq how to leave the ball )

 

[Amjid Javed]

1 ball left for Ajmal to survive!

 

[Sledger]

Stumps.

Misbah makes it Pakistan's day.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

Misbah is doing the right thing here.

Tuk Boom Boom Tuk Tuk Tuk

Cricket Morse Code.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

Misbah u r awesome

 

[velu]

256/7..

even stevens

 

[duostyle]

Tactical blows these.

Everything is calculated.

 

[Justcrazy]

256 / 7

 

[JibranAnsari]

265/7 in the end , lost two more wickets than we should have but not that bad in the end. Hope we get 300+ tomorrow.

 

[Zamee]

We just need to make sure we make 300, 310!! Inshallah our bowling will be able to bowl out England below 250

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 256/7 at close

England day

Misbah 83* - All down to misbah to get pakistan past 300 tomorrow.

 

[SWERVE_uk]

Kaptaan.....

 

[slblack]

Take your half baked asian left armer back to the hotdog stand.

lol

 

[NeVerMind]

Seriously how can you not like the Haq! Defies all reasoning...

 

[Strike!]

England's day. Hope we scrape to 300 tomorrow somehow.

 

[Asif321]

How often we see in last over of day 2 sixes
only Mard e haq has such courage

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

panesar )))

 

[Namak_Halaal]

60 / 40 in England's favour.

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope Pakistan can push around another 50 tomorrow.......... need and to stay there

 

[JibranAnsari]

79/3 in 29 overs. England's day by two wickets margin.

 

[Amjid Javed]

300 is a must tomorrow. Doesnt matter how we get there we need another 44 runs just to feel we have some sort off foot hold in the game.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

will be the key tomorrow

 

[Justcrazy]

Tomorrow first 10 overs would be crucial, Pakistan would look to get as close possible to 300

 

[Sherlock]

Full marks to England.

Bowled brilliantly in spurts.

Hats off to Misbah and Shafiq.

The pitch pitch is assisting spin and seam so not a bad score as many imagine.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

300 is a must tomorrow. Doesnt matter how we get there we need another 44 runs just to feel we have some sort off foot hold in the game.

It has to be T20 mode from the go.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

seems like he don't like one , he seem to go with two togather

 

[SWERVE_uk]

Mohsin on now talking to Nass...

 

[DW44]

OKish day. If the last three wickets(read 'ul-Tuk and the other jabronis) can add another 65-75 runs, we can claim a definitive upper hand.

 

[Justcrazy]

is always the key these days.

 

[Namak_Halaal]

PAK : 2.6 to WIN
ENG : 2.94 to WIN
DRAW 3.7

Bookies have Pak to win this test match, but only by fraction.

Even Stevens at the moment.

 

[Sledger]

Mohsin saying he wanted 300/3 - 300/4 at the close.

Says Shafiq got out when he should have gone on - "I'll have a go at him" (look of death LOL).

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Pakistan bowls well .... they can restrict England to 220 - 250 ...... so Pakistan can have a lead ..... even a lead of 40 - 50 would be match winning.

 

[NeVerMind]

Mohsin saying he wanted 300/3 - 300/4 at the close.

Says Shafiq got out when he should have gone on - "I'll have a go at him" (look of death LOL).

Says he already ahd a go at him...in a loving way!

 

[Sherlock]

Yeah, Shafiq gave his wicket away. Stupid shot selection.

 

[JibranAnsari]

ofcourse , Hafeez ,taufeeq and asad shafiq should not have got out the way they did. Pakistan could have been 270/3.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

shafiq screwed it. Made it then breaked it as waqar said to umar.

 

[Sherlock]

But England bowled excellent.

No.1 for a reason.

 

[James]

Swann took three times as many wickets as Monty in half the overs.

Gulf in class.

News of Graeme's demise has been greatly exaggerated by the usual idiots.

 

[ss3samzy]

pak : 2.6 to win
eng : 2.94 to win
draw 3.7

bookies have pak to win this test match, but only by fraction.

Even stevens at the moment.

f*** the bookies

 

[chui_kadoo]

Awesome display by Misbah. Very dissapointed with Younis Khan once again. Failed again when we needed him to score. Being the most experienced man in the team he has been very poor so far this series

 

[JibranAnsari]

Swann took three times as many wickets as Monty in half the overs.

Gulf in class.

News of Graeme's demise has been greatly exaggerated by the usual idiots.

That is why swann's in my fantasy team. Class act. Panesar coming back after a long time, but he really can spin the ball but those sixes were a horrible experience. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[James]

not a secret that I've never rated YK as much as most people here. this is why.

 

[SWERVE_uk]

Younis needs to step up big time in this series!!!!

 

[Love Pakistan]

Im gonna sleep! I want Pakistan to reach at least 275 mark here! I hope we dont collapse! OK see ya later ppl!

Im back and I guess we'll get to my predicted score of 275 tmrw.... I would want them to get 300+... It depends mostly on Misbah and Ajmal is the last good tail ender left! Day 2 will be an exciting one!

 

[danialshahid]

Good interview by Mohsin!!

 

[James]

Swann has 7-150 in two innings. actually less than two innings. How is that not performing aboard? Haters can do one.

 

[Sledger]

not a secret that I've never rated YK as much as most people here. this is why.

What is 'this'?

 

[JibranAnsari]

not a secret that I've never rated YK as much as most people here. this is why.

Well most of your batsmen failed twice in the first test , hope you do not rate any of them.

 

[Blade]

cold and calculated blows from Misbah lol

I have faith in the team to get us to 300. If more wickets fall I think Misbah is just going to let rip

 

[JibranAnsari]

Swann has 7-150 in two innings. actually less than two innings. How is that not performing aboard? Haters can do one.

Pakistan is his favourite team , will see how he does in india.
