Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

170/9

Finn who was a terror for our brilliant batting line up is treated with contempt by Gul:

51.6
Finn to Umar Gul, FOUR, and another boundary! What a way to get to fifty! His first Test fifty and he acknowledges the cheers from the dressing room, another leg-side delivery and Gul whipped it away for four

51.5
Finn to Umar Gul, SIX, bosh! What timing from Gul! What an innings this has been. A touch short from Finn and he swung a pull shot away powerfully, over deep square for six

51.4
Finn to Umar Gul, no run, better ball from Finn here, finds the right length and right line, but Gul is in position early to defend

51.3
Finn to Umar Gul, FOUR, four more! Get this guy in at No. 4! Slightly fuller from Finn and Gul leant into a stylish forward push, caressing it down the ground for a boundary

51.2
Finn to Umar Gul, FOUR, shot! Follow on? What follow on? Gul gets a short ball and clumps it through cover for four to take them clear of the follow-on target

51.1
Finn to Umar Gul, no run, good start from Finn, fullish outside off stump, Gul thinks about a shot before thinking again. Finn rewards himself by sweeping his hair across his forehead, he's almost as prolific as Afridi in that department

two consecutive sixes by Gul. :jhanda: :hula:

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Asif run out and Pakistan all out 182.

Gul 65 not out.

53.6
Finn to Umar Gul, OUT

**Mohammad Asif run out 0 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00  **
   It's been an utterly absorbing start to the third day's play, but can  Gul's cameo inspire a Pakistan fightback?

53.5
 Finn to Umar Gul, no run, 87.6 mph, ooh, the Gul show almost came to an end here and he tried to crash a cover drive on the up, but missed entirely  
  53.4
 Finn to Umar Gul, no run, 88.0 mph, Finn is a bit annoyed now, understandably, he's been clumped for 30 this  morning by Gul, this time, no damage is done as he lands it on a line  and length  
  53.3
 Finn to Umar Gul, SIX, 83.2 mph, Gul on fire! Pick-up pull shot that scatters the crowd over square leg,  it really went a long, long way. He makes it look so easy  
  53.2
 Finn to Umar Gul, SIX, 84.6 mph, and that's why! Six more! It's not even that short from Finn but Gul is  on to a pull shot in a flash, reminiscent of Michael Vaughan in his  pomp, just easing it straight out the screws for a massive six into the  stands over square leg  
  53.1
 Finn to Umar Gul, no run, 88.1 mph, decent start from Finn here, running in with a touch more intent, back  of a length around off stump, Gul blocks towards the covers and rejects  the single that's on offer

Strauss gone England 2/1 :jhanda:

what a catch went to azhar in the slips he spooned it up and a diving Kamran took the catch.

Go Pak :jhanda:

Where is everyone, you are missing some action.

Mohammad Aamer to Strauss, OUT, 85.0 mph, well, well, well! Chaos! It took almost the entire slip cordon to take that! Great delivery from Aamer, leaving Strauss off the pitch, it went to second slip, routine catch, but the fielder could not hold on at first attempt, then parried the second attempt over first slip, only for none other than Kamran Akmal to slide in and take a superb reaction catch! Only Pakistan could do that!

**AJ Strauss c †Kamran Akmal b Mohammad Aamer 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00  **

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Gul played his innings T20 style...not even throwing his wicket away :D ...need of the hour...amazing SR 141.30 for a test match...

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Lets hope Pak pace trio exercise some accurate bowling to get some wickets quickly...

Umar Gul to Pietersen, OUT, 85.3 mph, what a catch! Kamran Akmal take a bow! Pietersen falls thanks to an absolute stunner from Kamran! It was on a length and came back a fraction from outside off stump, Pietersen got a sizeable inside edge that flew behind him, Kamran dived a long way to his left to clasp the chance one-handed!

**KP Pietersen c †Kamran Akmal b Umar Gul 22 (50b 3x4 0x6) SR: 44.00

Looks like Kamran is making amends for his first innings blunder. second brilliant catch today.
