Umar gul should see how broad is bowling .... just channel bowling not trying hard to experiment

 

[MVP26]

129/4

 

[cricfan4ever]

[taqi]

Broad looking dangerous

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Why's it so foggy?

wish we would control natural conditions , we will choose to have rain for two days

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Need to be a bit positive not bloke every dilivary

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Monty to bowl, need to get on top of him

 

[iZeeshan]

Azhar looking pretty good out there

Worried about Shafiq

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

60/4

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for AA.

lead up to 60

 

[iZeeshan]

Lead is 60 now

 

[MVP26]

single to azhar

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

wish we would control natural conditions , we will choose to have rain for two days

But then we wouldn't take a 2-0 lead

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

its so foggy , don't seem to be clearing away atleast for next one hour

 

[insaftak]

Single for AA

 

[AdeelSabih]

RED ALERT! Sardar sahab comes in to bowl.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Conditions seem decent for batting, as always concentration will be the key

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Beauty.

Monty bowling tight lines again.

 

[iZeeshan]

Shafiq's gonna get himself out if he doesn't change his approach

 

[farsiddiqui]

I'm getting nervous!

 

[Love Pakistan]

Monty worries me!

 

[MVP26]

Beauty

Asad looking shaky out there

 

[adnan yasin]

this is early morning pressure for shafiq

hopefully he get few drives and nudges of the bat .. will calm him down

 

[Fawad2010]

What is a safe lead here?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Oh gem of a delivery beats the bat

Monty troubling Shafiq a little

 

[shakil]

Asad a bit nervous here

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Harbajan into the bowling attack

 

[smoothcriminal]

I hate TEN SPORTS and their abrupt ads.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to pick up as many runs as possible before new ball is due.

14 overs till new ball - so we need to get lead up to 100 by then.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Batting time is the key.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

What is a safe lead here?

Anything less than 200 will be a concern

Broad bowling now

 

[insaftak]

Nasir wants Umar akmal in the lineup.

 

[MVP26]

Nas wants junior in the team.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

That was a good ball

 

[adnan yasin]

Azhar ali almost missed ... his body is falling ...watch out buddy

 

[insaftak]

beauty!

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

These two needs to surivive this session. Looks really hard but I really want them to continue.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nas rightly raising the question of whether Pal can incorporate Umar Akmal into this side

 

[Looney]

Harbajan into the bowling attack

Bhajji has finally made it large by playing for England

 

[Shahzebayub]

Good delivery

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

Man ... they're too slow

 

[iZeeshan]

Peach from Broad

New ball in 15-ish overs

They should try and score 50+ before the new ball

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

second consecutive good lenght ball by broad.

 

[AdeelSabih]

Beauty just beauty!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Disagree with Nass, these pitches aren't easy to score on hence why our team scores at a slow rate. Plus it's the stability that we need, it's enabled us To be more consistent. No need to change now. Akmal hasn't got the tempremant as of yet IMO.

 

[adnan yasin]

super bowling by broad ....

this is calling channel bowling

GUL please see ....

 

[Amjid Javed]

broad looking like hes going to get a wicket here

come on guys dig in!

 

[taqi]

Beauty by broad

 

[MVP26]

Almost got azhar

 

[Amjid Javed]

Batting time is the key.

not with the amount of time left in game, we need runs!

 

[Looney]

Pakistan has won games just by blocking , Waqar ?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A few nice deliveries so far this morning

Need to try to rotate the strike, just increasing the pressure on ourselves

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

what if both survive this session? will batting become easy in second session?

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Nas rightly raising the question of whether Pal can incorporate Umar Akmal into this side

well seems like waqar knows it but dont wanna admit it

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Nicely worked off the pads for 2.

 

[iZeeshan]

2 to Azhar

He's moving along nicely

 

[insaftak]

6 overs and 7 runs.

 

[adnan yasin]

nudged to onside ... 2 added to the total

PAK 62/4

 

[ragincajun]

lot of chirping around the bat

 

[Badsha]

Can't watch it right now. Are they looking comfortable or shaky?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

2 for Azhar to end the over

Lead is 62

13 overs for the new ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

two for AA.

lead up to 62

 

[AdeelSabih]

Azhar's flick through square leg for 2 crucial runs.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

not with the amount of time left in game, we need runs!

For this 1st session it is ! If we lose a wicket forget about scoring runs, Lol !

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

duggie!!!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Monty to bowl at Shafiq, looking a bit troubled this morning

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

monty is the threat here

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Asad should try to rotate the strike , staying at one end won't help you boy.

 

[iZeeshan]

I'm getting annoyed with Shafiq...he's not trying to do anything!

 

[adnan yasin]

worth a shout ...but going down the leg side

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

444444444

 

[insaftak]

Asad

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

now thats my boy thats the way to go boy :asad

 

[Looney]

Shafiq

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

With every single run, pressure keeps building on england. Even with dot balls and no wickets will add on to pressure on England.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Heart in mouth stuff that appeal.

Shot by Shafiq, shades of Inzi there.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

[iZeeshan]

I'm getting annoyed with Shafiq...he's not trying to do anything!
