Pakistan vs England ~ First Test ~ Updates ~ Day Two

[shan]

No we want to win. Inshallah we will win.

I will be the happiest men if we win from now on but..........

 

[Easa]

Monty on strike, this should be good.

 

[zMario]

YES!

2 balls to get Panesar!

 

[Oxy]

Whether or not he does get his ton Bell has made life difficult for the England selectors.

Three people fighting for two places and they all get runs!

I think Bell would always miss out in that situation.

 

[UJ]

Afridi to Monty

huge cheer from crowd

 

[Raz]

80.4mph from Afridi

 

[iZeeshan]

Bell moves to 98, Panersar on strike.

 

[Easa]

80.4 MPH

That's faster than Hoggard.

Panesar survives.

 

[zMario]

I almost feel like Inzamam's giving Bell a 100

 

[Oxy]

Few score updates would be appreciated - for those not watching - thanks

 

[zMario]

Yes! Dani to Panesar for 4 balls

 

[Easa]

Panesar on strike, Bell on 99.

C'mon Kaneria

 

[iZeeshan]

Looks like Monty bhai won't be as easy as we think...

 

[shan]

527/9

 

[zMario]

Eng 527/9

 

[ShowStopper]

80.4mph from Afridi

Just wonder how fast he would bowl if he was a fast bowler?

 

[Easa]

527-9

 

[shan]

Come on kaneria

 

[Easa]

Beaten outside the off stump.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

quite fnacy watchin farhat and butt

any ideas

 

[ShowStopper]

Got Him ?

 

[Easa]

Calmly defended.

 

[UJ]

527/9

Panesar survives Kaneria over

 

[shan]

Kaneriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa plz get him

 

[ShowStopper]

Kaneria around the wicket. Much planning and chin-scratching going on by the Pakistan players. Bell not offering any words of advice...yet

 

[Easa]

Went for the big drive, just survived. )

 

[Easa]

Bell on 99

 

[Easa]

All the fielders in

 

[UJ]

100 for Bell...well done!!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Bell........Century!!!

 

[ShowStopper]

Danish Kaneria to Panesar, no run, outside off and he nearly goes for the full Monty. Come on Parmesan Tony! Somehow the ball didn’t find the inside edge, and he survives. Bell will be sweating after those few balls…

 

[UJ]

ENG 528/9 dec

 

[Sid100]

well played ian bell for his 100 and england have declared

 

[IMMY69]

[ShowStopper]

Get ready for a brief firework now that Bell got his deserving 100. Sorry its declaration for England no fire work good caring captaincy.

 

[Easa]

100 for Bell played.

All the men that could be dropped have scored 100's. Who will be droppnded from Cook, Colly, and Bell.

All made 100's. England declare on 528-9

Bell - he is the 3rd choice...

 

[IMMY69]

harmy will come at us full pelt...and hoggy will defo get some swing with new ball...extremely tricky period for our young batters...if they can ride the early storm then they should make hay on still a very very good wicket....

 

[Billy]

when was bell dropped?

He means dropped from the team, when Flintoff comes back.

 

[Easa]

Razzaq and Kaneria bowled well for us, Afridi was good as well.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Who here predicts an early wicket or two for England?

 

[Easa]

C'mon Pak - time to show England that we can bat!

 

[Rob H]

G'day all.

England in command now. Great hundred by Ian Bell to get England past the 500 mark. Paul Collingwood though, take a bow. What an innings. He really is has turned into a vital cog in our middle order, hopefully this will be his series.

 

[iZeeshan]

I missed his hunderd..oh well..but he really did play a good knock. Wasn't given lifes or if there were any, they weren't that blatant.

 

[Billy]

Who here predicts an early wicket or two for England?

Me.. but I think Pakistan will bat well after that.

 

[DM]

Here we go

A good opening partnership, a first innings lead and we bowl to them on the last day please

 

[Oxy]

329 to avoid the follow on - tough - esp given our openers propensity to self destruct.

 

[veez]

3 centurians for Pak,

Sami, Gul, and Kaneria

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

scared as anything for the openers....here comes hoggard

 

[UJ]

Hoggy to Butt...to start off

 

[Rob H]

Butt away.

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

Come on Immy and BUTTOCKS!!! 200 run opening stand!

 

[UJ]

Butt off the mark with a single to fine leg

0/1

 

[iZeeshan]

Batsmen are out. Really afraid for Butt, I have a feeling that hes gonna get a thin edge to keeper. Hope I am wrong.

Hooo!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

pak of da markwith a singe

 

[shan]

Goggy will mostly bowl on legs so Butt and Farhar should be ready

 

[Mutazalzaluzzaman Tarar]

hopefully the pitch won't magically turn into a green seamer as soon as the boys start batting.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good shot to leg, one run. Butt looks good...I think.

 

[IMMY69]

hopefully our batsmen will put into perspective how well our bowlers actually bowled..or is that hoping for too much

 

[ShowStopper]

Come on Immy and BUTTOCKS!!! 200 run opening stand!

Very Ambitious but why not? Inshallah they will score some good runs.

 

[Rob H]

1-0. Decent first over from Hoggard.

 

[Easa]

1-0 (1)

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

1 of da 1st over for no loss

 

[iZeeshan]

Come on Farhat, you've got a lot of making up to do. Farhat also looks good. Played his first delivery with a straight bat. Now looks a litle iffy

 

[Easa]

Harmison from the Nursery end

 

[iZeeshan]

Both bowlers are looking really good and dangerous for Pakistan Butt and Farhat don't look too confident. Very good first overs from Hoggy and Harmy.

 

[ShowStopper]

86mph lifter from Harmison outside the offstump

 

[shan]

out?

 

[Easa]

Maiden

 

[Billy]

I like that.

Not too fast, not too slow but plenty of bounce.

 

[ShowStopper]

batsman is stuck in the crease to a shorter ball, jamming down on it. Good pace worrying me now

 

[Rob H]

No really trouble for the batsmen yet apart the one that beat Farhat's edge.

 

[Rob H]

that looked as if it pitched outside leg

 

[Rob H]

plus a huge inside edge

 

[Ace Base]

Assalaamualikum everyone, and Pakistan has been outplayed for the better part of five sessions

 

[Ace Base]

2 for zero now. Hoggard's shout for leg before turned down. Farhat has looked slightly unsettled in the opening exchanges.
