[pakistani pride]

[deviously~fading~away]

[Hash]

keep going boys. Keep going. We have a habit of losing a wicket just before a break (drinks or lunch/tea). 10 minutes until tea. If we go in without losing another we will have the psychological edge.

 

[nafajafam]

did the commentator just say "another good over by shaun udal"?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

61 from 81 partnership,

 

[Amjid Javed]

[deviously~fading~away]

4 by inzi but almost held for a catch!

 

[CrickFan]

We need a Partneship of "epic proportions" here - to shut off England ... Man if Inzy scores another big 100 .. dhamaaal ho jaigaaa

 

[nafajafam]

4... pulled away by inzi

 

[karachiite]

Listening to the online cricinfo commentary. Becharon ki awaz murjha gayi hai.

 

[shan]

good going but remember we hace a chance if they two make 100s because i don't expect anything from Raza and from Akmal well another 30 or 40 runs

 

[pakistani pride]

what speed does this plunkett bowl ?

 

[Nauman]

Have the players left for tea yet?

 

[CrickFan]

It has almost become Inzy Vs England X1 as far as batting is concerned

 

[pakistani pride]

agree inzi = pak batting !

 

[Hash]

7 minutes until tea


please dont do it. you know what I am talking about MoYo. And you Inzi.

 

[Amjid Javed]

collingwood onto bowl now.

 

[nafajafam]

4 by inzi but almost held for a catch!

when was this? he did pull one but there was no fielder there

 

[deviously~fading~away]

PP's fraviote on, mr 3-0. time for him to reverse the ball like never before

 

[Amjid Javed]

Have the players left for tea yet?

If you remove Inzy from this side - it will struggle to beat Bangaldesh - I am not exaggerating

 

[Amjid Javed]

[nafajafam]

[deviously~fading~away]

Fielder was there but the ball was to high for him to catch bhai

[deviously~fading~away]

^this is last over before tea, 5 balls to go

 

[Nauman]

Guys how fast is plunkett please?

I saw about 3 or 4 overs by him they didnt show his speed here but looked like mid 80s stuff to me.

 

[the_game]

Guys how fast is plunkett please?

Speed gun apparently not working currently.

 

[PapaBear]

Butt and Inzi are due for low scores, law of probability, It is Hasan raza's Day

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for inzi.

pak 140/3

plunkett looks like low 80s to me.

 

[PapaBear]

Its time someone other than Inzimam did it. Good for future of pakistan Cricket!

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo.

Pink Panther and Sylvester are more subdued now.

 

[Nauman]

pak 142/3

Well another over before tea, looks like rudi and hair want to see another wicket fall before tea!

 

[PapaBear]

pak 142/3

last over to be bowled by tea.

Run rate is good. 3.75

 

[PapaBear]

How does tea bowl?

In the old days people used to drink tea in bowls!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

4 by the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!Vaughan face looks sooo sad now

Waddey jay piyaley naheen wekhen tun?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

and single to inzi brings tea!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Tea - pakistan 147/3 (79 run partnership)

 

[nafajafam]

147-3. tea now

 

[Nauman]

Apart from Butt's dismissal a good overall session for Pakistan. Welldone

 

[Amjid Javed]

How does tea bowl?

switch ur 2 tvs on and watch the game.

 

[karachiite]

It just great to hear these english commentators fail to hide their frustration. They started to praise collingwood and then inzi just stroked him thru the covers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Apart from Butt's dismissal a good overall session for Pakistan. Welldone

naumans happy

 

[PapaBear]

Man of the Match Hassan Raza!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Moyo on 70 & inzi on 34. Pak 147-3 and looking far far better than 12-2! Trail by 141 & looking solid in the game

 

[alghazzali]

Good session for Pakistan. I still think only 1 wicket will do it 4 the angraiz and expose the 'tail'. Hasan Raza will fold like he did before, I can feel it in the wind.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Man of the Match Hassan Raza!

are you related to him? Anyway I hope he performs for Pak!

 

[PapaBear]

are you related to him? Anyway I hope he performs for Pak!

No relation, just a gut feeling!

 

[Noddy]

excellent work by the 2 big guns....
stabilised the innings in the middle against a ball that may have started to reverse a little, but hasnt....

 

[CrickFan]

I am also not confident about Hasan Raza .. I just hope Akmal and Hasan enable the tail to wag ..specially if these 2 get Pakistan close to English total

 

[Khalil]

This partnership is crucial and I believe that it will determine the outcome of this game

Inzi and moyo must at least take us to 200

 

[Waseem]

I don't think reverse swing will play a big part, Flintoff will still get some but outfield is not good for reverse swing at all.

We need to take full advantage of the old ball, we will probably struggle early in the morning with new ball.

 

[Nauman]

Out?
