97.4
Panyangara to Younis Khan, OUT, brain fade from Younis here as a length ball on middle and leg, which he tries to work through square leg, ends up hitting it early and getting a top-edge which carries to Tino Mawoyo at short mid off. Zimbabwe will be over the moon with that wicket
**Younis Khan c Mawoyo b Panyangara 77 (223b 9x4 0x6) SR: 34.52 **
Rehman the next man in
97.5
Panyangara to Abdur Rehman, OUT, And he gets him first ball! Panyangara on a hat-trick! He pitches this slightly on a fuller length on middle and off, but this one jags back appreciably as Rehman offers no shot, and ends up getting pinned on the crease. This one looked adjacent from the start, and the umpire confirms this moments after.
**Abdur Rehman lbw b Panyangara 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 **
Fantastic start from Zimbabwe after lunch. Pakistan still trail by 82 runs as Saeed Ajmal, who struck 49 in the first Test, steps into the cauldron
So it was 212/7 now 12 runs partnership and score 224/7
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
224/8 :D
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match

Loh ker loh baat.
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Today...Pakistan added 67 runs for 7 wickets to their overnight total...
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Loot at the SR of our batsmen. It's in the 20's. No wonder Pakistan looks weaker team against Zimbabwe. This kind of approach to batting is going no where for Pakistan. They have forgotten about the concept of rotating the strike. What's the use of playing 150 balls if you're going to get out for 30 runs. Really disappointing.
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Pakistan should get first inning lead of 100 runs 
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Tea
Zim 2nd Inn 30/1 with the lead of 94
Pakistan must bowl tightly as we cannot afford too many boundaries...
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
No one except YK or Misbah scores. A team can’t even resist Zimbabwe with this kind of silly selection.
The selectors should be “hanged” in the proverbial fashion.
Mr. Moin Khan, what would you do?
joke.
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Some poor umpiring as usual...:D
The lead is now 160 with 9 wickets still intact...
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Misbah will already be planning how he wants to draw this one out. His bowlers aren't taking wickets, his batsmen aren't scoring, so only way for him to save this game maybe in his mind to let Zimbabwe score a bazilion runs and then come back bat a few sessions on day 5.

The lead is now 160 with 9 wickets still intact...
they will score 400....misbah will let them bat as long as theywant....
this game is gone....
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Lead is almost 200. I doubt Pakistani batsmen are even going to try to win from here.
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Pakistan still can win if they play their innings' 100 overs as an ODI... :D
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Stumps day 3
3 quick wickets...121/4 with lead 185
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Loh ker loh baat.
baat hee to kar raha hai PD 10 years say!!!
par jab mai bolta hoon to sub khethay hain kay kiyon boltay ho!
dur fittay munh aisee team kay which cannot even bat against ZIM.........
no analysis required....
Re: Pak V Zimbabwe - 2nd Test Match
Any ideas how much we should restrict them to and how should our "batsmen" reach that target? :D
Sadly besides Hafeez and may be Rahat Ali I don't see much "wrong" in selection. Yes we "could" have brought in Nasir, Ahmad Shehzad, Shahzaib, and another turram khan pacer but our core batting is not kicking i.e. Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Misbah. Only 2 50s in the inning is not going to do much in a test match.
I understand this is a "test match" but still strike rate of below 30 is a concern, shows failure to rotate strike. We are not facing McGrath here.
