[Bullet Drive]

Nice from Azhar. 2 runs. Don't give it away. Inshallah he does well.

 

[Batman]

Tuk tuk continues!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last ten overs. 1.5 an over.

 

[ads101]

We won't even get to 270 at this rate by the end of the day.

Sri Lanka scored at over 3 an over despite being in trouble and batting just to stay in rather than pushing for a big total. We on the other hand don't seem to have much of a problem with wickets , and seem comfortable at the crease, but we're motoring at 2.70 runs an over.

Strike rate really is starting to become a problem. Really on flat pitches, once you're set, you should really be aiming for a SR of around 60 or so (or higher). You aren't going to get big totals quickly if we bat so slowly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

71.3 overs gone. New ball soon.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shot from Azhar. 3 runs there.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar on 68* - Inshallah he makes the century.

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Bullet Drive]

Maybe the slog-sweep this ball?

 

[Bullet Drive]

That's the over, Azhar vs pace is much beter.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar must carry on the way he is batting. Thats his role.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Herath to Azhar Ali. Uh-oh.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good footwork from Azhar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

68* - 32 runs

 

[Bullet Drive]

[Bullet Drive]

Nicely played. Azhar need to just carry on please. Nothing silly.

1 run to Azhar Ali. Misbah on strike.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Azhar on 69*

 

[JibranAnsari]

16 runs in 7.4 overs this session

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last ball of the over. He was gonna smash that one but it was a faster ball.

 

[dhump]
