anything around 300 would be fine to be honest we have time so play as much as possible and others should chip in with scores too.

[ss3samzy]

YK is smashing England like he's in a PE lesson.

 

[Sledger]

Younis giving a masterclass in how to play spin.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

YK sweeping for fun

some kind of sweeping disease is in the ground since last over.

[Sledger]

Ovethrows. The wheels are off. )

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

eng look wounded.

 

[Paradox]

Younis playing the sweep too often though, I fear it may cost him his wicket if he plays it one too many times.

Might just get his century before stumps though if he goes on at this rate! Brilliant knock.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

overthrows, nice

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 178/2 - Lead continues to build.

 

[Badsha]

Easy Younis. EASY!

 

[Looney]

Is this serious cricket or a comedy movie ?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

180-2

Lead is 138

 

[adnan yasin]

good sign for later after that monty delivery )

Hearts of england batsman will be pumping at 400 Km/hour after seeing that

 

[Amjid Javed]

Seems like last wheel is coming off the england wagon! )

 

[talha3]

Younis is just oozing with class now. One of the best players of the sweep.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Younis playing the sweep too often though, I fear it may cost him his wicket if he plays it one too many times.

Might just get his century before stumps though if he goes on at this rate! Brilliant knock.

Seems in total control of the shot, in the zone so not really worried about it

 

[IAJ]

Almost 40 runs scored in the last 10 overs! Great going!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

i fancy scoring a couple of runs on this wicket now.

 

[adnan yasin]

Lead 138 runs with 2 wickets remaining

They should declare to make the match more interesting

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

YK 13 away from his century

 

[insaftak]

partnership of 152.

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Looks like 1st 100 of the series will be from MashaAllah. Haters take that !!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hearts of england batsman will be pumping at 400 Km/hour after seeing that

I think some england batsmen will be running to the toilet suffering from the runs after seeing that )

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Who will run for you

[Pak_Jazba]

Younis certainly eyeing his century here.

 

[Paradox]

Seems in total control of the shot, in the zone so not really worried about it

One of them stay straight/go the other way/stay low/bounce more/do something weird after pitching in the rough and he's gone though, that's the thing. He's a superb sweeper of the ball, but it's quite risky, especially on a Dubai pitch.

Fair enough though, he's in the zone.

 

[Badsha]

haters can't blame him now.

 

[Sledger]

Azhar 65(200)

 

[taqi]

YK need to score big hundred here grind them. This pitch is not easy for new coming batsmen

Sweeping them out of game. )

[adnan yasin]

Azhar ali taking his own sweet time in scoring runs

200+ balls faced by azhar ali

 

[Sledger]

180/2, ball is reversing slightly.

 

[IAJ]

Lol at cricinfo's headline:

Younis, Azhar frustrate flat England

They are not tailenders that they are frustrating England. Proper batsmen!
