Re: Pak V England - First test Match
We must be thankful to Danish and Afridi (specially the later) for pegging England back this much, otherwise lead could have been a lot closer to 400 by now
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... there goes another one! FINALLY Pakistan strikes again :). Jones caught behind off Kaneria
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Less than 3 overs left in the day with England having a lead of 333. Things getting interesting here
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
There is no aggressive attitude on the field by either team. They both seem to be playing for the draw. We should be thankful to Yousuf, Inzamam and Kamran for bringing us back in the game. First inngs total of 528 was very difficult to cover, especially when we helped them achieve that with our inaccuracies in the field.
Pakistani batsmen will be under tremendous pressure on Day 5 and it will be interesting how the English bowlers' approach will be. I just hope our openers do not make the same mistake that'll result in our middle order to save the game, again. That'll will be nightmare.
Overall, great job Pakistan.
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
balle balle :k:
Eng lead by 333 runs already, only 2 more overs to go for today. If Eng is in for a result, they should let Pakistan play from 1st over tomorrow morning, otherwise this test is very very like going to draw.
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
yayyy dani takes another wicket 
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Pakistan taking time to set the field placings. Close catcher coming in for Plunket
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
And the googly misses everything including the keeper. How could it miss the stumps
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
253/7 Strauss is caught by Farhat at slip. WE ARE IN mates :D Kaneria is the man.
Hoggard is in
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Dani takes another one 
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
74.4 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, OUT, huge, huge wicket. Slightly flatter, ran across Strauss and Imran Farhat takes that at first slip. Two quick wickets have enlivened Pakistan just before the close. But well batted Andrew Strauss
*AJ Strauss c Imran Farhat b Danish Kaneria 128 (214b 13x4 0x6) sr: 59.81 *
74.3 Danish Kaneria to Plunkett, 3 byes, wowsers, no idea how that missed. A beautifully pitched googly sails through the gate and just over the bails. Top ball Liam Plunkett comes to the crease and is greeted by a crowd of greedy fielders hovering round his bat hoping to snap him up
74.2 Danish Kaneria to Jones, OUT, a huge appeal and umpire Bucknor raises the finger as Jones chases a fine edge through to a grateful Akmal. So Jones's batting misery continues.
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Plunket nicely beaten off Afridi. Afridi bowling with his P-cap on
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Strauss gone too 
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Last over of the day. Kaneria to bowl.
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Highest successful runchase on this ground is 340 and England already has a lead of 337
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Boundary off the last bowl. England 258/7 at stumps. Lead is 341
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
They will probably bat another hour tomorrow morning, just in case. Overall Pakistan played well, and it is up to their batsmen now.
England lead by 341 runs with 3 wickets remaining.
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
flat wicket, boring match...its gonna end in a draw
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
this match is sooooo boring 
Re: Pak V England - First test Match
Pakistan second innings bowling performane was quite good considering the wicket and the circumstances. This tells us had we taken our chances in the first innings, we could have been in a position to force a result in our favour.
