Azhar should have taken a single in the last over. Swann could well finish it up in this over.
 
Even though he's a great hitter, Gul just needs to bat for Azhar for now. Singles please.
 
We are going to win 3-0 comfortably and if you are the type who says to hell with the shortcomings lets celebrate the historic win i can pass on the address of sweetest lassi corner
on your street

1. Lets not forget we have played outstanding cricket to bounce back into a certain winning position from the jaws of the defeat
2. our spinners have been hiding our pathetic batting, lunar eclipse sort mental brown outs but surely our skippers must know how to rotate the strike on these pitches at least had it been this inning only i would have understood but this fellow just doesn't have a middle ground between his timber quality tuk-tuk and sudden-motor unleash

3. how the tails should play and how to bat with the tail is something we fail to learn after ages

4. I want my grandson to once watch Pakistan batsmen win them a match
 
There was a single there, Gul didn't want it.

Azhar says don't take a run off the next ball.

2 (and so far the only centuries) in this match. And first 150 up! I would say the batting will inshAllah win us this match...
 
I doubt England will even cross 200 on this wicket!

150 up for Azhar Ali! Excellent batting! Congrats! :)
 
Meanwhile in Australia, the ijtamai ziyadti continue. :)))

this azhar ali inning is nothing put a selfish innings

now i look at it, the younis khan 100 the way he did it is now even more important

i think azhar can thank his lucky chickens especially yesterday that younis khan was out there in the middle and took the pressure of him and took on the england spinners and moved the gear up from 40 strike rate to 60-70 , = high class player

Oh Azhar, not great cricket :( Use the strike properly.

Agree, Thanks to our outstanding spinners who bowled the opposition for a partly 140 odd on a perfect batting pitch other wise 99 all out on this sort of pitch

we are gonna win it and the series because of our bowlers, yes batsmen have contributed in the second inning in perfect batting condition and we may still fail to reach 400
