Rana needs to take as much of the strike as possible though.

I cannot see Nazir lasting too long
 
swing and miss next ball! if he connects with one of these it will end up in zimbabwe!
 
4 more for Nazir

I can see a top edge coming from Nazir soon.
 
Single for nazir.

9 runs from the over.

Pak 215/7
 
Nazir takes the strike at end of over

215 for 7 (111 ahead)
 
Ntini on now.

Take this step at a time

First target is 110, then 120, then 130. Just keep going. No need to play stupid attacking shots just because a couple of posters on PakPassion are getting bored. Just do what you need to do....take it a ball at a time. If it is there to hit then hit it otherwise don't.

If we get to 150 you never know.........strange things happen.

Attacking cricket is vital, offcourse i did'nt mean play every ball aggressively. Where possible quick runs should be scored intelligently. Hash tell me is the wicket difficult to bat one or is the bowling just too hot to handle ????
 
now asif and kaneria will have to show some batting abilities.
 
Ntini on-Nazir needs to get out of his crease to minimise the LBW and play up and across.
 
You really have to read the shoutbox on cricbuzz. Its really funny somethings the Indians say.

There was this one comment: "Shoaiib shud be baakc so Smiht can sorce bak2bak 200ssssssss"
 
Nazir gets two down ground and then gets a single.

lead 114
 
81.5 Nel to Shahid Nazir, no run

81.4 Nel to Shahid Nazir, FOUR

81.3 Nel to Shahid Nazir, no run, bangs this one short, just outside off stump and Nazir has a poke at it, misses.

81.2 Nel to Shahid Nazir, no run, similar delivery, again Nazir goes for the slog through midwicket but the ball bounces over his flashing blade. Cold long stare from Nel.
The new ball has been taken now.

81.1 Nel to Shahid Nazir, FOUR, what a shot! Nazir explodes! Predetermined assault on the shorish delivery. It was on the off stump, he just swung it across between midwicket and mid-on


Thrilling stuff to watch, some match this is to enjoy !!! Go nazir go teach nel a lesson. :19:
 
Single for Rana as he tries to leave the ball it his his bat.
 
ntini and nel are without wickets and we are still in this position.
 
ntini very close to bowling no balls here, his foot is close to side line on crease.
 
Rana is batting standing way outside the crease-Go boy -Brave man he is - although the shot looked stupid but a run is a run!!
 
Come on boys... Lets push the Saffies all the way back. One step at a time. Come on.......
 
82.5 Ntini to Shahid Nazir, no run

82.4 Ntini to Naved-ul-Hasan, 1 run, Short and climbing outside off stump, Nazir hang his bat out, and his body started to sway away, eyes off the ball. But the bat was still in the line, no effort to withdraw that and the ball hits the blade and runs past point

82.3 Ntini to Shahid Nazir, 1 run

82.2 Ntini to Shahid Nazir, 2 runs, fullish, outside the off stump, Nazir tries to swing through the line, bat-handle rotates a touch, the timing goes awry but still enough meat on that and it lands well over mid-on.

82.1 Ntini to Shahid Nazir, no run, beaten! lands on the seam, outside off stump, jags back in, and thread the bat and pad gap and flies through to the wicketkeeper
End of over 82 (9 runs) - Pakistan 215/7


Good effort from the tailenders MASHALLAH !
 
These are very very VITAL runs for pakistan which could prove to be costly for south africa. ;-)
 
1 run to Rana, placed in the covers.

lead by 116
 
If the tailenders can last so long and score easily then this pitch really does suck! And that means we can;t win!
 
nice pull for 1 by Rana. Deep square leg
 
Rana and Nazir are both battling it out--make hay while the sun shines!!
Both should be out of the next match as Akhtar & Gul return.
 
1 more to Shahid, sliced over gully.

Catch it shouts Ntini.

Been in a losing position a few times as a fan - Adelaide (2nd Test) and Bangladesh (1st Test) come to mind.
 
dont think wicket is as bad as some people have indicated.. Anything below 220 cant be defended on this pitch especially with our bowling line up..
 
Thats it ....keep pushing the singles, keep out the good balls!!!
 
another pull by Shahid, this time for 2.

Stick in Shahid !
 
Its all action out there. Another run for Shahid, nicely played in the covers
 
kaneria said that pakistan needed a minimum lead of 250 so lets see how he bowls
 
Well Nazir and Rana are getting in line against the new ball.
 
Shahid showing the way - exposing the cowardice of so called specialist batsmen and a wicketkeer batsman who supposedly has the potential to play a batsman alone .. Great show by Shahid ..Ya Allah madad !!!
 
Nauman brother my apologies but the pop up block was'nt properly switched off. Please send message !!!
 
great hit by Nazir over mid on. 4 runs and the Pak fans go wild
 
if we get past 150 lead...then maybe..but only if Rana bowls accurately......i will have him first change.
 
Chinese cut, another 4 :)

Partnership is now 35
 
Inside edge for 4. Lead 130. Keep fighting.
 
This will be annoying for the Jaapies.
