England in Pakistan

Shoiab Akhtar looks really fired up and so does sami, so clening the tale shouldn't be a problem!

Yeah they certainly do. Just loved that Flintoff delivery from Shoaib.Hope he produces more of the same in the 2nd innings.

Pakistan still has a chance, only if We give England a target of 300-350, we might be able to trouble them but with 2 days left Pakistan (I they're going for the win) should attack as much as possible.. Maybe sending Afridi 2 down will help this happen..

A very big chance.
The are the favourites to win this game especially with England batting last.
Despite the geat series win again the Aussies this summer i am still not convinced that England can handle presssure very well and are not all that some are saying they are cracked up to be as a team.
Vaughan is deteriorating badly as a batsman and is only a shadow of the class player he was a few years ago, Giles gives his all but in my opinion is not good enough and if he is England's premier spinner and i use the term spinner loosly then that is a real worry, Udal should not be there, picking a bloke knocking on for 37 is barmy to me however good he is and let's be honest he is just a run of the the mill county cricketer nothing more.

True ^ There are a lot of players who do well domesticly but when they get to the NTthey fail.. Like Udal and Raza

Pakistan finally bowl England out. They had a lead of 16.
If Pakistan collaspe to be all out today England should win although they too may collaspe. If Pakistan tee off, Afridi mainly then they may well get a 350+ lead heading into the last day. Then they can declear and try and bowl out England on the last day pitch.

A solid start from Pakistan. Salman Butt warned for running on the pitch. What the hell is Darrell Hair thinking? Butt's steps matched the pre existing footsteps perfectly. I hope this doesn't affect is concentration.

Harmy misses a runout chance as I type this. Maybe Pakistan's fielding is contagious.

 

[tsyrmas]

has Giles got a wicket this series? he's fairly useless still imo.

 

[barmyarmy]

He got two in the first innings. Neither him nor Udal have looked threatening though.

Why you english played 2 crap spinners I will never know. You guys may as well bring in another fast bowler and bowl Vaughan. He would do the same but add batting skill although he didn't show that in the first inns :

i think pakistan need to up the run rate if they can have a lead for 250 by end of today and then take it 300 then declare would be good. i think 300 is min what they should aim for

Sounds like Younis Khan has been a bit unlucky with the lbw call. Might have been missing leg...

 

[zub2005]

how was younis khan any1 saw it

Again a poor dismissal by umpires. It was going to legside.

This match is going to a draw. I rather see a result here.

I thought it was close enough, though similiar Pakistani appeals were turned down by the umpires. Yousuf seems to be having some trouble against Hoggard. And Butt gets his 50.

Whats new Pakistan getting dodgy umpiring calls. At least it won't affect the result unless Pakistan play stupid shots from here on. Once again Butt has to step up in the 2nd inns while the rest around him fall. Truely a class player is this Butt.
