Hafeez as always playing some gorgeous shots hope he doesn't as usual throw it away with carelessness
 
Pak 26/0

50/0 at close would be brilliant here! just need to bat solidly here!
 
Were people really comparing Steyn and Anderson ? Broad is the only English bowler who may do well.
 
Good movement back in and a firey start at 134ks. Quickest England have bowled so far.
 
Strauss turns to Broad. Remember England scored pretty freely off the Pakistan seamers, it was their three spinners that proved tricky...

This has to be a game of attrition for England.....putting the ball at driving length isnt going to work for very long unlike on English or Australian tracks. Just not enough Seam/Swing. Put in back of length and wait for a mistake. And unlike Pakistan, overconfident England opted to sit Panesar out.
 
Strauss showing faith in Trundler Jim here. Hopefully he can break the 130k barrier.

Oh, he just got hit for another four lol.
 
TU always is postive against new ball, its when spinners come on and ball gets softer where he then struggles alot.
