Predictable start for Pakistan. The top order continually leave the work to the middle order and indeed make more work. It would be far simpler if Younus Khan and Shoaib Malik just opened the batting.
i like these 2 at the crease for Pakistan they work well together, i hope they can get a decent score up and than maybe Misbah and Afridi can bump the run rate in the later overs.
And those two have opened up a can. 100 run partnership in 53 balls, 51 to Younus Khan before holing out and Shoaib Malik finds 50 with Shahid Afridi also at the crease.
Alas, the early overs were squandered, so they still need to keep the pedal to the floor if they want to scare the likes of Jayasuriya, Sangakkara and Jayawardena.
