beauty bal by

 

[Fireworks11]

Ripper. Sharp turn and Strauss was beaten.

 

[Justcrazy]

England have worked ..... thanks to

 

[Shahzebayub]

Great bowl

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

A wicket coming.

 

[Justcrazy]

What is required a few balls to keep low ...... or turn sharply , that would create doubt in the minds of batsmen.

 

[Fireworks11]

Worked to leg for 2

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

2 to strauss

 

[IAJ]

Come on Ajmal. quickly now, you might get another over

 

[Justcrazy]

England have been patient and cautious .....

 

[Fireworks11]

These two getting their eye in.

 

[Justcrazy]

That's it .............. England 35 /0

 

[Shahzebayub]

And light gone before 5 minuts to go

 

[chui_kadoo]

35-0

 

[Fireworks11]

Blocked back to Rehman

 

[Justcrazy]

Tomorrow would be fresh start for both the teams, still a long way for England to go here.

 

[chui_kadoo]

probably the last over

 

[insaftak]

Cook deserves to get . he is wasting time.

 

[Justcrazy]

A wicket here would have made it Pakistan day completely

 

[James]

Cook deserves to get . he is wasting time.

Er. no.

 

[Justcrazy]

:cook cautious here

 

[insaftak]

Er. no.

I hope he gets

 

[Fireworks11]

Good bowling and good batting.

 

[Hash]

These two getting their eye in.

Not much point with only a minute or so left today.

 

[chui_kadoo]

last ball of the day

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 289 runs with 10 wickets remaining

 

[Sledger]

Cook. )

 

[Justcrazy]

England would not cross 250 .........

 

[chui_kadoo]

36-0. Super Comeback

 

[chui_kadoo]

Great Comeback by England. They were dead and buried 3 hours ago and now they have a sniff a chance of victory. England winning the last 2 sessions

 

[insaftak]

Gul you youngsta Beauty )

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would strike early tomorrow.

 

[Fireworks11]

Not much point with only a minute or so left today.

England have batted well this evening but they've gotta start all over again tomorrow.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Alot to ponder for Misbah and team tomorrow. Taufeeq's catch proving costly so far

 

[Justcrazy]

)

 

[Sledger]

Umar Gul.

You're doing it wrong.

 

[James]

I'd call this England's day. Took 8/150, and in good shape early in a gettable run chase. None of this had looked possible in the morning.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need fresh minds for fresh plans

 

[chui_kadoo]

The pictch needs to do more tomorrow. Seems very flat still

 

[Fireworks11]

Pitch has really slowed down. That drop was crucial. Pakistan still favourites to win it tomorrow.

 

[Justcrazy]

If England chase this down they would deserve to win.........

 

[Shahzebayub]

Hope for the good

 

[carbon11]

the going nowhere tuk tuk innings by misbah and azhar ali at the end which led to the eventual collapse

cook and strauss building a sort of partnership, negotiating the end of days play

pitch looking flat

england will be happy at the end of days play.

288 , 2 days left and 10 wickets remaining , reckon england will fancy it

 

[cricfan4ever]

we can all thank for a wicketless session

 

[Sledger]

Entertaining finish. Luckily England survive the first 20. Misbah's men to finish it off tomorrow.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I'd call this England's day. Took 8/150, and in good shape early in a gettable run chase. None of this had looked possible in the morning.

I agree totally Englands day. They were dead and buried at lunch.

 

[Justcrazy]

should start the proceedings tomorrow.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Taufeeq Umar:

0, 6, dropped catch

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan Tail just did not wag .......... needs to sort that out

 

[Justcrazy]

:adnan has looked poor with the bat again

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to find a solution 7 - 11 are sitting

 

[Justcrazy]

First session tomorrow pakistan need to be charged up and get at least 2 wickets.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Taufeeq drop was costly.... We'll still win InshaAllah.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Honestly I can see england chasing this. They are highly gifted players and if they graft the can do it. Out boys need to remember to bowl stump to stump. bowling in the rough not helping much

 

[chui_kadoo]

Taufeeq Umar:

0, 6, dropped catch

I would replace him with a youngster next series. His technique is all over the place.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pakistan need to find a solution 7 - 11 are sitting

They sure are. Azhar and Younis gave such momentum and yet the tail still all fired blanks.
Not one score over 5 on a flat surface. It needs to be addressed asap.

 

[Sledger]

PP comedy gold. Wrist slitter brigade making all sorts of doom and gloom predictions. 30 run partnership and suddenly Pakistan are in trouble?
