England in Pakistan

[ZexyZahid]

I didn't expect them to score that quick. Especially since they're behind. Scoring quickly means there is a risk in losing wickets. It would be better to take a more consservative approach, with getting 4 runs an over. But I don't mind them hitting, as long as they don't lose wickets. :cool:

ok

 

[aussie1st]

Thats just how the Pak openers play. I remember Butt was very aggressive in Aus.

How serious is Pietersen injury?

 

[muhammad_inzi]

I dont think pieterson injury is that serious.

Shoaib out by Harmison.

 

[aussie1st]

Harmison to Shoaib Malik, OUT: Gone! good length ball, outside off,
tries to force it off the back-foot, thick outside edge goes to
1st slip, Trescothick takes a lovely catch,Harmison strikes in
his very 1st over!

Harmison does it again. Malik was the aggressor in that partnership so the run rate will slow down.

 

[ZexyZahid]

In the first innings the openers played slow, but very stable.

And as I guessed Malik is out. Hopefully Younis Khan can have a big innings again.

 

[muhammad_inzi]

I think this time Younis Khan will play the big inning like Trescothick.

 

[aussie1st]

Fair point, I guess they changed their tactic although I don't know why.

 

[aitzaz]

If u see the way he is strokinf it seems that he is a class act

 

[muhammad_inzi]

Younis Khan

 

[aitzaz]

yeah

 

[aussie1st]

Udal into bowl in just the 11th over. Is this pitch a spinning one or something?

 

[muhammad_inzi]

Man, Younis Khan is unstopable.What a player.

Also, its tea time.

 

[aitzaz]

well i gaurantee no one know this pitch better than me as i am the only local boy of here on PC.Well there are some cracks which arent as dangerous as u find in austrailia.IF u see the fast ballers arent getting a lot of swing and carry as there is no grass, same is the case with spinners they do not get a lot of turn and bounce becuz there is no grass at all.But in the last 2 - 3 days the spinners are hard to play maybe due to invariable bounce.But this is batting paradise

 

[ZexyZahid]

Younis Khan really likes Harmison. He has hit him twice for 10 runs an over.

At tea:
Pakistan 64/1 (13.0 ov)
Minimum overs remaining today: 34.2

They should get at least 130 more runs. That would bring them about 190 at the end of the day.
