Shot...

 

[mosh101]

What a booming drive from khurram !

Well stopped on the boundary !

 

[Asif321]

boring Azhar Ali now

 

[saiyan0312]

Oh Class shot for three runs...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thank god a review wasnt wasted there!

 

[PakistanKnight]

What a chance missed. Anyways,well played man.

 

[KA$H]

great innings by the youngster - but wasted an prime opportunity for a century there for the taking, esp the way he was playing (& the luck he had)

 

[WNC]

I think the ball touched his other hand when he flicked it back.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good shot by KM he needs to keep being positive here!

 

[DW44]

:4 :4 :4

 

[battler]

Duminy is a better bowler than peterson

 

[Asif321]

Azhar starts with

[saiyan0312]

azhar off the mark for

 

[PakistanKnight]

Masood had his chances and had to make it big. Unfortunately,fell to a straight one.
Let us not spoil the work by and

 

[JibranAnsari]

J:4

 

[DRS]

Nice batting by a debutante. He has made things quite easy. Though it is up to our batsmen to keep scoring at decent pace.

 

[Kianig89]

:14 for

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start by AA!

 

[hur rizvi]

Bit of reverse swing for Kallis

 

[PakistanKnight]

And when they say it is time for nap when Azhar is batting,he responds with a four!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need to play out the whole day 3 as well. Better to bat only once.

 

[Red Devil]

Cracking Shot

[DW44]

:4 :4 :4

Great stuff this, attacking their mediocre spinners and Kallis.

 

[JibranAnsari]

:4

 

[Jo_Don]

Pakistan should win from here. Pull out a lead of 200+ and it's game over.

 

[hur rizvi]

Nicely pulled for

 

[saiyan0312]

trail by 107 and great shot manzoor is very good against spin.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Mazoor is a don

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for KM

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really impressed by KM in this Inns. 146/1

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Maybe the Karachi lads do have a right to feel aggrieved when people like Hafeez and Farhat have been given so many chances.

 

[Sledger]

Azhar striking at 133. What a beast.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Manzoor should have been kept in the team after his 77 in australia against australia.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Very well played innings by Shan.

 

[Nuekboi]

Maybe the Karachi lads do have a right to feel aggrieved when people like Hafeez and Farhat have been given so many chances.

FAWAD ALAM! Where are you man

 

[Bilal7]

Lets make sure Peterson's economy stays up.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar striking at 133. What a beast.

Haha sooon will be back to usual 33

 

[Mamoon]

Manzoor needs to calm down a bit. He is looking to smash the spinners. Good idea but don't try to hit the ball too hard.

 

[CrowingRooster]

If these two go until the end of the day without losing another wicket... Man that would be sweet.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Hopefully Azhar has a good outing this time around.

 

[Kianig89]

i like Manzoor's stance seems he has worked on it

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhat trying ti aggressive ;D

 

[TalhaSyed]

 

[Red Devil]

If these two go until the end of the day without losing another wicket... Man that would be sweet.

Agree.

 

[pakistani pride]

ok azhar please dont tuk tuk now !
kia number 3 hai...

 

[Nuekboi]

I don't mean to be demeaning, but how many other players in the 21st century have a career S/R of below 40?

 

[Osman]

as expected SA bring on RP to bowl to this joke of a batsman knowing he will block away and allow pressure to build

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really hope AA doesnt stagnate the Inns here!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Azhar can afford to be slightly defensive right now, just keep ticking the strike over. No need to be aggressive - mashallah we have a great base and plenty of time in the test - but we cant affor dto be bogged down

 

[Kianig89]

trail under 100

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar rotating the strike.

Looks like I am having an afternoon nap. Just pinched myself.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Azhar should play his natural game.

 

[Sledger]

Game is well posied. Need a big lead considering Pakistan are set to bat last.

 

[Kianig89]

onus on

 

[TalhaSyed]

150 Up for the loss of only 1 wicket MashAllah

SA's lead drops under 100!

 

[PakGirl!]

Deficit of 97!

 

[Osman]

I don't mean to be demeaning, but how many other players in the 21st century have a career S/R of below 40?

probably none...only cowards like azhar ali

 

[Sledger]

Azhar vs Petersen. One of those great cricketing battles.

 

[TalhaSyed]

To be honest - it seems good so far by Azhar - doesn't seem to be too defensive. Lets hope it lasts

 

[CrowingRooster]

Manzoor into the 70's.

 

[Red Devil]

Nice shot by Azhar

 

[Mamoon]

Azhar should play his natural game.

We know what his natural game is

 

[CrowingRooster]

2 runs taken.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Great to see a decent crowd in!

 

[Red Devil]

Trail by 97 runs now, would be great if we could knock them off today

 

[Red Devil]

Faf on now

 

[CrowingRooster]

49 overs gone. 154-1

as expected SA bring on RP to bowl to this joke of a batsman knowing he will block away and allow pressure to build

This joke of a batsman was one of the key architects of Pakistan cricket's greatest moment over the last 10-15 years, the England whitewash last year. Maybe you'd prefer second rate losers like Afridi, Farhat and Malik to come in and get pretty 15s of 8-10 deliveries to a solid batsman who has a bunch of centuries and an average of close to 50 over the last two and a half years.

 

[CrowingRooster]

du Plessis into the attack.

 

[Sledger]

Du Plessis on.

 

[DW44]

Stupid fielder, why can't he have been placed somewhere the ball was less likely to go? Stupid Smith.

 

[saiyan0312]

azhar wanted a run but manzoor said.. its cool.

Agree totally with your point.

 

[saiyan0312]

another over and peterson to bowl.

 

[carbon11]

azhar ali i don't think so

would love to have seen shahzad, jamshed or umar akmal or maqsood to come in at 3 and take the game to the saffers when their bowlers are on a such a downer during this stage of the match.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Khurram - take it easy!

 

[saiyan0312]

tea

 

[TalhaSyed]

That's tea!

Another good session by Pakistan MashAllah!

155/1 - trail by 94!

Manzoor 72* & Azhar 7*
