Good to see the batsmen walking down the pitch to Sammy, once LBW is out of the equation WI's main man is neutralised :azhar
 
misbah will be really happy as the scoring rate has gone down. Must be having a ball. Taufeeq was 37 on 41` balls and now on hundred. only 18 in next 59 balls.
 
Rampaul needs to improve on his fitness. He loses at lot of pace in his second/third spells, down to 80mph now.

Nice stop Bishoo.
 
TU came after lunch sr 79 now it's down to 51.

Another maiden.

Mubarak to the happy couple. Nice wedding car bought in from Baghdad.
 
I guess Pakistan lose all their confidence once a wicket falls and get so bogged down they end up not scoring at all!!!

a lead of 250 by end of play is a must!!! Anything less would be very poor despite the start given by the openers!

Taufeeq Umar looks like he has forgot that he was dictating the start of the innings with brute force!
 
Misbah was getting nervous on how fast they were scoring, I guess. :P
 
taufeeq umar has no plan to his batting. He should try to attack. I feel so bored when i Thin misbah is next. Why can't umar akmal come after first 3 snails, why do we have to keep 4 snails together.
 
What was Samuels thinking? Easy slip catch but didn't even bother attempting to go for it.
 
These two are doing a good job...this pair should take the lead to 200 at least.
 
Pakistan should be looking to be 300 by close of play and if they bat well look to declare an hour after lunch tomorrow and give the bowlers enough time to pick up another 10 wickets to win the game and level the series.
 
I like Azhar. I know he is young and all but I want him to keep his SR above 50 for this knock going by how slow he plays sometimes. I'm afraid he might turn into Misbah.

Azhar has a solid technique but needs to improve his range of shots. Doesn't drive particularly well with the ball usually miss timed to mid on/off.

How much of a lead will be competitive for windies...given the pitch will get flatter?

Pitch still has bounce and turn for spinners which may be too much for Windies but with so much time left Pakistan would want a minimum of 350 and ideally 400 so they can set attacking fields throughout.
