[Nice-N-Fresh]

Mubarkaan mubarkaan. Barosh khatam ho pay ee

 

[ZM]

ZM what is your source of the weather.....It is accurate!!!

ill tell you after the cricket

 

[iZeeshan]

SO when play going to start?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Again according to the gurus on BBC sports...If Pakistan plays 35 overs they will be chasing a total of 168

If that happens then the required RR becomes like 4.80 rpo. Pretty easy if we dont lose early wickets

 

[Amjid Javed]

Again according to the gurus on BBC sports...If Pakistan plays 35 overs they will be chasing a total of 168

These figures are pretty poor. Pakistan for bowling england out for 202 shud be rewarded via D/L!

 

[yk]

we're waiting on the start time, i dunno why they take AGES taking the covers off, slow coaches.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why is it taking so much time to start the game

Are they waiting for more rain?!

 

[garbage_can2003]

garbage game, watching Yankees vs Tigers now until the rain delay is over. Baseball guys are very fat

bcos they are juiced up!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Englands inns run rate was just over 4, yes overs are docked and that has to be considered but pushing rate up to around 5?

Thats laughable!

 

[yk]

Restart time of 8.31pm

 

[Amjid Javed]

Play to start 2031!

 

[yk]

Thats 21 mins....thats is mileage....revised target coming shortly.

 

[crick786]

Game to start at 8:30, game reduced to 33 overs Pakistan to chase a target of 162...(Source BBC)

 

[Usman Chadda]

Here is how the match stands so far:

England 202 (49.2 ov)
Pakistan

Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first

Match to start at 20.31 GMT England RR 4.09

Target: Pakistan need 159 runs in 32 overs @ a RR of 4.97

 

[Toony™®]

so ..whats that 10 overs of powerplay???

whats the revised target?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

pakistan needs to make sure they dont lose too many...bc if it rains again the target will be revised and would hurt pakistan if they have lost wickets

that looks like a good site....thanks

 

[sehban]

D/L method worked against pak...now they have to chase 5 an over

 

[Amjid Javed]

This is BS!

So we lose 17 overs yet only 40 runs off the target??!

 

[Usman Chadda]

D/L method worked against pak...now they have to chase 5 an over

Still a reasonable total to chase

 

[CricketJunoon]

Good news! We have a start time of 20.31BST. Not long to wait now. Time for tea and I suggest you do the same. England's target is 159 from 32 overs

Cric info

 

[Khalil]

target is 159 from 32 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

target is 159 from 32 overs

This favours england here!

 

[Pathan007]

This is BS!

So we lose 17 overs yet only 40 runs off the target??!

i agree. 44runs have been cut off for 18overs. that's simply bullcrap

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

This is BS!

So we lose 17 overs yet only 40 runs off the target??!

And we get less overs of powerplay....what a rule

 

[crick786]

England bowling...... 2 bowlers to bowl 7 Overs each while 3 bowlers to bowl 6 overs each

 

[Usman Chadda]

This favours england here!

Well yeah. We were looking at 4.09 RPO with full 50-overs available, but now we are looking at 5 RPO! D/L method needs a change aswell. It has screwed a lot of teams

 

[CricketJunoon]

we'll win still

 

[Kamranz]

I don't understand as to why there was a need to start play at 2pm? Given the technological advancements in weather forcasting why could they not have started earlier?

Saturday it's going to be heavy rain as well so why not have a match on Sunday?

 

[CricketJunoon]

who'll open for us?

 

[infamous9383]

should be easy

 

[Amjid Javed]

A few good overs for england and rate will be around 6!

this cant be right!

 

[crick786]

5 min to start

[Amjid Javed]

England players out in the middle.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

England went 4.09...

[yk]

32 overs new target of 159

 

[Amjid Javed]

Malik and hafeez out in middle now!

Migsy cant we have new thread for run chase?

 

[yk]

Req rate 4.96.

 

[b0wld]

159 required of 32 overs @ 4.94...tats bull****

 

[the_game]

Duckworth and Lewis rule is quite ridiculous at times. Anyways, if the ball doesn't do too much, we should be able to get it.

 

[Rob H]

159 from 32!!!

England went 4.09...

4.09x32=130!

If you lose and blame the d/l method then you are one sad person

 

[CricketJunoon]

according to sky the english captain not happy with the ground conditions but the umpires overrule his displeasure

 

[Amjid Javed]

2 runs for malik off 1st ball, down ground.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Andrew Strauss is fairly fuming. He really does not want to be out there - and I must admit, it does look very wet indeed.

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 7/0 (0.1)

 

[Rob H]
