[Bullet Drive]

India take a wicket. Pakistan lose a wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan needs to get a 30.

Why aim so low?

he should aim for much higher.

 

[Batman]

Morkel into the attack now

 

[dhump]

India take a wicket. Pakistan lose a wicket.

It was a run out they dont have ability to take a wicket

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq wicket was huge.

 

[hur rizvi]

crucial phase, if adnan doesnt bat well, we can collapse here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good single called by Adnan.

 

[Batman]

Single taken

 

[Bullet Drive]

15 more to get for Misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan Akmal on strike now. We need another 100 partnership. These two should aim to bat to declaration.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan needed lead of 200. We cant chase more than hundred in 4th innings.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good leave by Adnan

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan needed lead of 200. We cant chase more than hundred in 4th innings.

We don't want to chase anything at all so hopefully we can get a lead of 250.

 

[Batman]

Good leaving by Adnan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Will this be the day musbah will get his century?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan given out

 

[Asif321]

its Not out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Given out

 

[Bullet Drive]

I don't think it was out. Adnan reviewed straight away

 

[Naheem]

Despite how nicely Shafiq batted, Umar Akmal is still best man for us at 6 but after this class knock Shafiq should play for some time.

if azhar fail in second inning too then u akmal fans will trash azhar and demand that azhar should drop for u akmal

 

[Batman]

Given out, Adnan reviews

 

[mosh101]

Review time AGAIN

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lbw?

 

[mosh101]

With no hot-spot, i think its gonna be really difficult to give that !

 

[Bullet Drive]

That is not out.

Would be a shame if he gives it out.

 

[Asif321]

i guess it has hit bat and pad both

 

[mosh101]

Adnan should be safe

 

[hur rizvi]

looks to me

 

[Bullet Drive]

I don't think he will overturn it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

NO WAY that is out. Missed the bat by miles.

 

[Batman]

Looks not out to me

 

[hur rizvi]

No evidence to overturn

 

[Bullet Drive]

They checking the lbw but its missing.

 

[talma]

should be out

Should be given out for his dumb stance

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not out given

 

[MRSN]

Thank GOD!!!!!

 

[Batman]

Not out then

 

[Asif321]

NOT OUT Adnan survives

 

[Sam18696]

Its NOT OUT

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah needs to take charge here before S.A start running through the tail and what should be a possible 200 lead could be alot less!

 

[Batman]

PAK | 5/373 | Lead by 124

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not out. He survives.

 

[Haroon786]

Lol everything, almost everything going Pakistan's way, Eid gift.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Adnan needs to stick around and get 30-40 here and Misbah needs to speed up and get to 100.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Partnership of 1 going strongly

 

[dhump]

Adnan needs to stop these things and try to stay on the wicket for longer.

 

[talma]

Azhar has had a bad streak..Pakistan should take chances like Shan Masood and bring in fresh blood. Azhar shows he's scared at the crease.

 

[Asif321]

misbah's century coming up

 

[Bullet Drive]

Keppler is back

 

[Bullet Drive]

14 for Misbah to get

 

[dhump]

Azhar has had a bad streak..Pakistan should take chances like Shan Masood and bring in fresh blood. Azhar shows he's scared at the crease.

I think Amin will get nod ahead of Azhar in 2nd test.

 

[talma]

Asad Shafiq has demonstrated why he cannot take a 50 to a century for the umpteenth time...

 

[hur rizvi]

Misbah needs to get runs quickly, Adnan wont last long against Morkel

 

[Cricfan4eva]

SA facing the heat, catches falling short of hand, reviews going against them and Steyn gun misfiring.. never seen them so hapless in recent times

 

[Batman]

Misbah on 86 now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good shot down the track by Adnan

 

[Batman]

Quick single by Adnan

 

[dhump]

Keppler is back

and by his special eyes its always SA dominating.

 

[Batman]

Another single by Misbah

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan need some runs here. Where is Steyn? He's the man proving runs for us. Sweet guy

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need gutsy players , makes one hell of a difference.

 

[dhump]

SA facing the heat, catches falling short of hand, reviews going against them and Steyn gun misfiring.. never seen them so hapless in recent times

They had similar experience last time they played us in UAE.

 

[Batman]

PAK | 5/376 | Lead by 127

 

[Sam18696]

Akmal looks nervous

 

[Bullet Drive]

and by his special eyes its always SA dominating.

Always.

When SA are batting poorly 'the pitch has something in it for the bowlers'

When PAK are batting well 'the pitch has nothing in it. Its flattened out'

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to Misbah. 88*

 

[Bullet Drive]

Adnan on strike.

 

[mosh101]

Misbah 12 away now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Can't wait to see Misbah celebrate his ton. He hasn't done that in 2 years!

 

[Batman]

Misbah on 88.

12 to get now.

 

[Sam18696]

Misbah on 88
Hope he gets a 100

 

[MRSN]

bounce will trouble Akmal.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely forward defense by Adnan. Good block.

 

[dhump]

Always.

When SA are batting poorly 'the pitch has something in it for the bowlers'

When PAK are batting well 'the pitch has nothing in it. Its flattened out'

He will have to say in the next inning that ball is now spinning as it will spin quite a bit for our guys I am quite sure.

 

[Saurav]

SA facing the heat, catches falling short of hand, reviews going against them and Steyn gun misfiring.. never seen them so hapless in recent times

their best team tag is being tested.They can't claim to be the best without doing well in SC which is difficult without a good spinner

 

[Bullet Drive]

Now backfoot defense.

 

[talma]

Pakistan's tail doesn't wag..it poofs and sputters. They need a wicketkeeper who can bat...

 

[Bullet Drive]

this is a good spell from Morkel.

 

[hur rizvi]

Adnan has no clue

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pakistan's tail doesn't wag..it poofs and sputters. They need a wicketkeeper who can bat...

Adnan can bat.

Has a test match average of 27 which is decent early on.

He is improving.
