Pakistan VS England 2nd ODI: Score Updates! (Eng Innings)

[Oxy]

Doesnt matter to ICC. Hoggard, Ntini and countless others have been fined for it. Akhtar will be too.

Well ICC owe us, so I'm sure it will be overlooked - they're hardly the most consistent body out there!

 

[sehban]

is it still raining? have conditions improved at all?

 

[Rob H]

Still raining

 

[Taurus]

Trescothick and Strauss opening in a ODI - the stuff oppositiion captains dream about.

Time for James Benning...

 

[Noman]

any news when the rain will be out...

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

play resumes at 1300 BST (1200 GMT)

 

[UJ]

Players are back out on the field

 

[Amir]

And England are back out! Lets hope there is some massive swing and we can bowl them quickly and give ourselves enough time with this rain.

 

[Amir]

Slips gotta move up. With damp conditions ball is being absorbed and wont bounce much

 

[Amir]

The key for Pakistan is to get STrauss, Tresco and KP out early since England rely on them so much. We gave Tresco 2 chances now.

 

[UJ]

By the way we are down to 40 overs a side..

 

[sharuk]

fastest bowl ever from asif: 86.3 mph

 

[aamir]

Bit of intimidation there, but you need to follow it up with a good ball

 

[161]

hint hint to inzi from cicinfo commentary guy

"no third slip here, might be of some use with all these balls swinging and lifting"

 

[aamir]

Almost!

 

[Amir]

Akmal lookedl ike he took that awkwardly.

 

[aamir]

Dropped it was.

 

[UJ]

Akhtar 92.8 MPH!!

 

[UJ]

17/1 from 7 overs

 

[sharuk]

Akmal should be replaced for the rest of the ODIs to get some sense in his head

 

[aamir]

It was an outside edge.. should have been taken. Akmal's bad form continues... should get a refund for the shades

 

[Pathan007]

yup AKmal once again like shi8 drops an ez chance.

 

[UJ]

Asif strikes...Tresco goes

Caught by YK

 

[aamir]

Thicko gone Asif strikes

 

[UJ]

18/2 now

 

[Rob H]

Asif to the match referee along with Shoaib

 

[UJ]

KP vs Asif

 

[aamir]

The bunny to face Asif

 

[Rob H]

Bell gone flashing to Akhtar.

 

[UJ]

Inzamam takes the catch
18/3

Bell GONE

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

how is the weather right now, someone?

 

[Gasherbrum]

yay!!!

 

[aamir]

Bell gone caught Inzi at first slip Akhtar strikes..

 

[Amir]

Thats it boys. But we still gotta remove KP. He can blast a 100 or something...

 

[UJ]

Will be interesting to see if Inzi keeps these two on for much longer...each bowler is allowed 8 overs max

 

[aamir]

3 wickets behind the stumps... 7 genuine edges... overcast conditions at lords...18/3... Akhtar on fire ...bunny on to Asif.....still no third slip

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

can someone plz tell how the weather is at lords?

JazakAllah

 

[UJ]

20/3 off 9 overs

Akhtar 2/11 (5)

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell Shoaib's bowling well

 

[garbage_can2003]

Shoaib for once bowling with an economy rate of less than 5

 

[Rob H]

I'd love to see some mind games here.

 

[Rob H]

Couple of words there

 

[Gasherbrum]

asif a little talkative today.

 

[aamir]

Edge from KP well short of 2nd slip...

 

[Rob H]

runs for Pietersen which ruins the maiden.

 

[UJ]

21/3 off 10

 

[UJ]

Akhtar continuing....

 

[aamir]

They have Rana as Medium Fast and Razzak as Fast Medium. Rana is faster than Razzak on average

 

[fakhar]

damn....so close

 

[Gasherbrum]

ouch that was close! just past leg stump.

 

[UJ]

Akhtar again causing trouble

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

cmon shoaib
bowl KP a yorker!

 

[Big Mac]

Can't really give those out to be fair

 

[aamir]

Close call LBW hawkeye shows hitting outside leg but seemed like it was missing.

 

[UJ]

Good attacking move by Inzi, leaving Akhtar and Asif on for the moment

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

o he did bowl him a yorker

 

[garbage_can2003]

Another legit LBW call goes against Pak!

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

deadly spell by akhtar and asifff

 

[UJ]

Amazing figures by Asif (as usual)

1/9 (6 ov)

Eng 25/3 (12 ov)

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

england going at a fiery run rate: 2.11

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Very good bowling from our supurb duo

 

[aamir]

Rana on... timely move Inzi...we appreciate (however obvious the decision might be).

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

we cant let pietersend settle down... get him out earrlyyyy...

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

will rana b taken on?

 

[UJ]

That broke the shakles somewhat...

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

will rana b taken on?

They will try I think, but Inshallah they will loose wickets in that fashion. They need runs on the board so I don´t blame them... Poor angrez

 

[Big Mac]

haha Pietersen so uncomfortable against Asif

 

[aamir]

Rana tries too hard, you have to let it come..patience is key...from that stand point Asif is the smartest bowler we have had in a long time.

 

[UJ]

Asif 1/10 (7 ov)

Eng 3/33 (14 ov)

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

rana goes for 7 in 1st over

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Just look at asif´s economy rate 1.42 after 7 overs. Amazing!!

 

[Rob H]

what a shot KP ticking now.

 

[Big Mac]

ffs, come on Rana

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

england doing wel - run rate gone from 2.11 to 2.61

 

[UJ]

KP on fire..4 4

 

[Toony™®]

16 runs off 9 balls for Rana.

10 runs off 7 overs off Asif.

 

[Big Mac]

Nice fielding from Shoaib but he slipped while doing so and looks like he may have tweaked something

 

[UJ]

ffs, come on Rana

He needs to keep it full, the conditions will do the rest

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

ah man i knew it - all the pressure tht was built is of no use as rana gets hit for another four
think razzaq shud've been brought on

 

[Rob H]

run rate up at 3 now.
