Harmison hits Asif for a FOUR. Dammit, I say drop Asif and bring Sami back.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Read Gone. 
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Harmi survived Asif's over. Need to get rid of last 2 wickets asap.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.

Umar strikes, takes Read’s wicket 
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Yes my trump has gone 
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Chris Reed goes... Gul strikes.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
53.2 Umar Gul to Panesar, OUT, GODDIM! Full, straight and swinging back into Monty, the left hander, who is spectacularly bowled. Really fine piece of bowling there
**
MS Panesar b Umar Gul 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) sr: 0.00 **
There's a real buzz out there now! They love Monty
Never fear, Monty is here. Here he comes, to a monstrous cheer. "Let's see if that pull shot is still working after all his practice this morning," Andrew Miller offers. :D
53.1 Umar Gul to Read, OUT, short and wide, Read tries to cut this through point but drags it on and his stumps are shattered
**
CMW Read b Umar Gul 33 (62b 3x4 0x6) sr: 53.22**
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Panesar gone!!
Gul will be on a hatrick in the 2nd innings which hopefully won’t come too soon.
** England bowled out on 173!!! :k: :k:

Hello everyone and congrats to everyone
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
173 all out, great chance for pakistan to square the match. Bat patiently and rake up a big score.
BTW with Gul having taken 4 wickets and bowled superbly throughout the series how can Rana come back?
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
I guess the axe will fall on poor Shahid Nazir.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Congrats to everyone here.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Like Ehsan bhai said, Asif did a very good job of mobilizing our attack - and yes... it helps that we're not giving away choonga runs that Sami would.
Lets hope our batsmen can make the best of this situation and give Pakistan a lead of at least 350+ or so inshaAllah.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Chalo jee now Botham will start whinning that both sides were equally balanced before this test with Flintoff, Vaughan and Giles absent from English squad and Shoaib Rana and Asif from Pakistan. But now Pakistan has advantage in the form of Asif.
How can they even compare Giles and a batsman with bowlers like Shoaib and Asif:D
