Pakistan v New Zealand | 3rd Test | Nov 26-30, 2014 | Sharjah | Day 1

[khalil1986]

Need to keep going, Hafeez is playing a great knock at a fantastic strike rate.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Great innings.

 

[Hawkeye]

Awesome partnership by both.

Get to 300 and their job is done!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rest of the team has only scored 80 odd.

 

[khurramsk]

a great chance for hafeez to score his first double.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez has faced 46 percent of deliveries and scored 65 percent of the runs.

The rest have scored 80 of 234 deliveries (including extras)

 

[khurramsk]

Hafeez has faced 46 percent of deliveries and scored 65 percent of the runs.

The rest have scored 80 of 234 deliveries (including extras)

Seems like they are happy with a strike rate in 30s.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What an innings from professor. The rest of the batting simply did not turn up today.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Did I just see a freaking GOAT

 

[Justcrazy]

That should have been caught .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Oh.. that was lucky. Fielder in the wrong position.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez not highest score at Sharjah.

 

[aukhan]

Hafeez Bradman is on fire

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis khan looking bored already !!"

 

[Justcrazy]

Goat roaming about in the stadium.

 

[junaid.ahmed]

This is the highest score in Sharjah Tests now, moving past Younis Khan's 153 v West Indies in 2002

 

[Justcrazy]

Spin and bounce.!!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is the highest test score at sharjah now. Good one by professor.

 

[Hawkeye]

Edge off King's bat is bound to make you nervous

 

[Justcrazy]

Catch dropped !!!!

Musbah lucky

 

[Asif321]

dropped , would have easily caught by Taylor

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah gets a life.

Scores a boundary next ball. What an agony for the bowler

 

[Hawkeye]

by

 

[Justcrazy]

Now , cut away for four...

Sodhi frustrated.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Misbah Dropped mode now I guess #AllSystemsGo

 

[junaid.ahmed]

dropped

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah hadn't scored for 29 deliveries before that 4.

 

[Justcrazy]

That was a big miss.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I hope Misbah makes the most of that miss and gets a big score now!

240/3

 

[Hawkeye]

Beautiful shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

31st boundary of the innings.

 

[Asif321]

Hafeez might get triple here

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

mode on boys

 

[Justcrazy]

This outfield is better than Dubai.

 

[Hawkeye]

New ball!

How will they handle it? Tough moments ahead.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ball being replaced.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

300 will be the target for the day and without losing a wicket as well. NZ is cooked now. That drop has changed the match .

 

[JibranAnsari]

This pitch is very very flat.

 

[Justcrazy]

New ball!

How will they handle it? Tough moments ahead.

Who ?

pakistan or kiwi bowlers [emoji41]

 

[khurramsk]

If hafeez gets a double his avg will reach 38

 

[Hawkeye]

Timing by Hafeez!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Anothet late cut for

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful late cut by hafeez

 

[Hawkeye]

Who ?

pakistan or kiwi bowlers [emoji41]

Pak batsmen and new ball - a better love story than twilight!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good delivery..needs to draw batsman forward.

 

[hussain.r97]

New ball!

How will they handle it? Tough moments ahead.

New ball will probably get Misbah. Hafeez and Shafiq will probably survive.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Hafeez has an Avg of 100 against the hobbits

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez needs to stay calm.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez could end up 200* not out at close of play hopefully here!

Pak 250/3

 

[hussain.r97]

Misbah's technique against the short ball is horrendous. I'm surprised he hasn't been hit in the head yet.

 

[akamaka]

Misbah's technique against the short ball is horrendous. I'm surprised he hasn't been hit in the head yet.

has taken quite a few body blows

 

[Justcrazy]

Can Misbah get a double hundred here.

 

[khurramsk]

Hafeez could end up 200* not out at close of play hopefully here!

Pak 250/3

Nah, with 12 overs remaining hafeez alone cannot score 40 runs. they may get close to 300 if they play really well. but i think they may take a few overs to see through the new ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sixxxxccc

Misbah

 

[Hawkeye]

mode by King!

 

[akamaka]

Tuk Tuk BOOM

 

[Justcrazy]

260 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

New ball dew.

 

[Bullet Drive]

If Hafeez can get through this second new ball, he can score a triple tomorrow.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Hafeez to get out in the next 2 overs.......

 

[JibranAnsari]

That swung a lot.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

Snail pace batting by Pakistanies it's 400 in a day pitch and they will hardly get 300, our rockstars would be 420/1 on this wicket against this bowling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha misbah looking funny at the crease.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah struggling vs inswing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

New ball taken, most crucial part of the day now we need to get to close still 3 down with maybe 310 on the board

 

[shaaik]

If Hafeez can get through this second new ball, he can score a triple tomorrow.

Hold your horses my boy...

We will see about your rockstars in a few days as well. lets watch the match at hand.

 

[Justcrazy]

109 run partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

How many overs left today ?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lights on now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Again good fielding , kiwis have saved loads of runs today.

 

[khurramsk]

How many overs left today ?

8 overs. but they may not complete them. looks like we may lose 1-2 overs.

 

[Mamoo_cricket]

We will see about your rockstars in a few days as well. lets watch the match at hand.

facing MJ in Aussies pitches is very different than facing Craig on U.A.E pitches, but still our rockstars will fight fire with fire, just wait and watch.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hafeez survives again .

 

[Amjid Javed]

7 more overs to get through hopefully we can get to 300 at close of play

 

[Hawkeye]

MashAllah great partnership. 300 without any loss of wicket further would be a good target.

Others can take on from there if God forbid a wicket falls then.

 

[Amjid Javed]

kiwis have bowled way to short to hafeez all day! hes played short ball well and with ease!

 

[khurramsk]

facing MJ in Aussies pitches is very different than facing Craig on U.A.E pitches, but still our rockstars will fight fire with fire, just wait and watch.

With rockstar batting they shall make it look like UAE pitches as well. 400 on day 1 of every match right.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hazy skyline .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Embarrassing to see misbah struggling against bouncers on a slow pitch.
