Pakistan v England: 5th ODI at Edgbaston (ENG Innings)

[Somali Pirate]

so far strauss has not played at any ball exept a leg side one. Rao make them play. Use the new ball

 

[zMario]

84 Mph

 

[z10]

and rana gets wasted again.

 

[KB]

Decent pace from Rao.

 

[zMario]

87.1 MPH the last ball of the over

 

[iZeeshan]

More or less a maiden from Rao

Any chance? Say if we get two more wickets within the next 6 overs?

 

[zMario]

I give us half a chance, if we bowl economically as well

 

[sharuk]

Iftikhar 87.1 mph., how did he get so fast

 

[zMario]

More or less a maiden from Rao

Any chance? Say if we get two more wickets within the next 6 overs?

Oh, and if the batsmen dismissed are Bell, Pietersen, and Strauss.

 

[MIG]

Score update pls.

 

[zMario]

Iftikhar 87.1 mph., how did he get so fast

We may never know..

 

[zMario]

England 25/1

 

[evertonfan]

You have every chance, especially if these England batsmen keep shouldering arms to straight deliveries.

 

[MIG]

Iftikhar 87.1 mph., how did he get so fast

Must be bowling downhill....

 

[zMario]

Peach of a ball!

 

[iZeeshan]

That one just shy of the stumps

 

[KB]

This boy Asif makes the ball talk.

 

[iZeeshan]

Beauty ball from Asif

if only we didn't concede those runs!!!!!!!

 

[evertonfan]

Strauss and Bell; England's best players of this entire Pakistan tour.

Shot skipper.

 

[iZeeshan]

Then a stray ball for 4

 

[zMario]

Pff Asif, what a bad ball that was..

 

[zMario]

Sigh, why is he bowling on legstump!?

 

[hassanpp]

baleh baleh 1 wickets gone mn asif needs to stay of stump mn 1 more wicket we can win this

 

[iZeeshan]

Now Rao gets whipped for 4

 

[zMario]

Lets turn off our TVs...

 

[Somali Pirate]

either too full or too short.leg stump or wide. sigh

 

[zMario]

baleh baleh 1 wickets gone mn asif needs to stay of stump mn 1 more wicket we can win this

We need 4 wickets in the next 5 overs

 

[MIG]

Our only hope is wickets - defensive fields/bowling will not help - yes they will hit a four or two or three but thats the only hope we have

 

[evertonfan]

We need 4 wickets in the next 5 overs

I disagree; Get spinners on, dry up the scoring rate, then when England look to break the shackles bring the quicks back on. Pakistan aren't finished yet. Other than Bell and Strauss, no one else has scored many runs in this series.

 

[zMario]

Our only hope is wickets - defensive fields/bowling will not help - yes they will hit a four or two or three but thats the only hope we have

34/1 in 6 overs... not pretty reading

 

[iZeeshan]

Nicely pulled for 4

 

[iZeeshan]

And how about 4 more?

 

[iZeeshan]

Well those are the two men at the crease. Thnx for being so pro pak

 

[BroskiBeat]

And its all gone quiet on here

 

[Oxy]

'Awesome Anjum' indeed.

 

[MIG]

Everyone's on a tea break....

 

[iZeeshan]

Whipped for 4, forget about wickets

 

[MIG]

And my internet link tells me that the score is :

49/1 - England need 106 to win Run Rate: 6.68 (Required: 2.48)

 

[Rob H]

"You're not singing anymore" and "barmyarmy" are coming out now. Good to see the horns arent drowning them out.

 

[MIG]

"You're not singing anymore" and "barmyarmy" are coming out now. Good to see the horns arent drowning them out.

Why shouldnt they ? English fans can be proud of their team today.

 

[evertonfan]

That Anjum has a nice smooth action, it looks a bit like Dom Cork's.

 

[MIG]

btw, in this confusion, Rao Ifti has done an excellent job so far:

R Iftikhar 3-0-9-0

 

[evertonfan]

Daft shot Bell, that was unnecessary especially when the RRR is only just above 2.

 

[Prince]

Bell gone!

 

[Oxy]

BELL OUT - Farhat takes it. Asif bowler

49-2

 

[MIG]

Run Rate: 5.76 (Required: 2.55) and climbing

 

[Rob H]

Superb catch by Farhat. He finally snaffles one!

 

[MIG]

Bell gone!

 

[evertonfan]

Bell gone, bunny boy in; This is where Pakistan can win.

 

[iZeeshan]

Another wicket? More raise of hope or just...

 

[MIG]

quick - Pak fans run to their keyboards ....

 

[iZeeshan]

KP in, hat-trick chance now

 

[Prince]

Strauss caught behind!

 

[Rob H]

Another superb catch. Englando calapso.

 

[Oxy]

Strauss OUT. c by Kami of Rao

49-3

 

[Somali Pirate]

rao picks up a strauss's wicket

 

[evertonfan]

Strauss gone, two new batsmen in.

I told you Pakistan could win this, and I think they will.

 

[iZeeshan]

[iZeeshan]

Beauty catch from Akmal

 

[MIG]

steady now evertonfan

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan on a hat-trick

 

[Somali Pirate]

kami is really unbelievable.drops dollies and picks up beauties

 

[iZeeshan]

England still mighty favorites, but Pakistan still in the game

 

[zaf1986]

Pakistan are right back in this now...another one and we will be comfortable.

 

[evertonfan]

steady now evertonfan

When watching England, it's physically impossible to remain steady.

 

[MIG]

Pakistan are right back in this now...another one and we will be comfortable.

There is a small matter of the run rate England need:

Run Rate: 5.16 (Required: 2.62)

 

[iZeeshan]

Just realized England only need 106 to win...

 

[zaf1986]

There is a small matter of the run rate England need:

Run Rate: 5.16 (Required: 2.62)

That is true, but England can hardly expect Broad and Lewis to get them the runs no matter what the run rate.

(Yes, I'm optimistic).

Though I wonder if we had 200 - this could have been a cracker. Still is, I suppose.

 

[evertonfan]

Pfft, KP looks clueless. Wicket in the next few balls methinks.

 

[Prince]

Asif VS his bunny

 

[MIG]

Asif Vs Pieterson
Alien Vs Predator
A V P
)

 

[iZeeshan]

[iZeeshan]

Dammit! 4 runs...
