Well done Yasir
I hope to see him #2 slot in the future, Hafeez & Taufeeq both are really weak, we must have a solid opening pair.
Why Shoaib Malik is not in the team? Danish did a great job but I wish PCB selected Shoaib Malik, he is a great all-rounder.
301/5 is not bad, let’s hope Rashid doesn’t through way his wicket like he usually do, I expecting big score from Misbah, I hope Pakistan can reach around 450+ with 5 wickets in hands I think it is achievable.
Match was supposed to start at 10am pakistan time... rightnow its 10:40am, but no updates... anybody with any news on that?
It start @ 10 AM, What time is it in Pakistan?
Mashrafe Mortaza to Rashid Latif, one run, short ball outside off, goes back and sliced it down to third man region
End of over 96 (1 run) Pakistan 302/5 (lead by 14 runs)
Mashrafe Mortaza 13-1-62-2 (3nb) - University End
Rashid Latif 28* (40b 4x4) Misbah-ul-Haq 12* (51b 2x4)
lame and pathetic batting by rashid and misbah. the way they are batting seems like they think they have 10 days to finish this match. scoring 1 run / over and every 2nd over is a maiden. lanat hai inn pe. pitch pe hi pani ke cup mangwa ke doob marain dono :~)
End of over 100 (maiden) Pakistan 304/5 (lead by 16 runs)
Mashrafe Mortaza 15-3-62-2 (3nb) - University End
Rashid Latif 29* (55b 4x4) Misbah-ul-Haq 13* (60b 2x4)
Rashid is under alot of stress........that's why he is not scoring :)
Tapash Baisya to Rashid Latif, no run, pitches on middle stump, swings down the leg, hit on pads, huge appeal for lbw, declined by Bucknor
LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO THROUGH AWAY HIS WICKET..........
Bengla team is putting pressure on Rashid & Misbah, Looks like both Tapash Baisya & Mashrafe Mortaza (Medium fast) bowling with great line & length.
Mizbah ul Haq gone
Shoaib Akhtar in!
I hope we'll see some fireworks.
Mashrafe Mortaza to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT: from wide of the crease,
angling into the batsman, Misbah tries to play across the line, misses the ball, hit on pads in front of middle stump, huge appeal for lbw, umpire finger goes up in a flash
The Game Responds:
*Yasir Hameed is one big talent; and I don't say this often as Pakistan Cricket Board forces fans like me to look at the elegance of players like Saleem Elahi and Wajahat Wasti one too many times. Hopefully Yasir Hameed will keep performing as he has all the tools to do so. People, That Is All.*
Shoaib Out :(
Looking at the way Rashid is playing I don't think Paksitan will score more then 325
Mohammad Rafique to **Shoaib Akhtar, OUT: arm delivery, right on target came in with the arm, Shoaib comes forward and comprehensively beaten, ball hits middle stump, Rafique strikes early
End of over 107 (1 run) Pakistan 310/7 (lead by 22 runs)
Mohammad Rafique 27-9-62-2 - Pavilion End
Shabbir Ahmed 1 (9b) Rashid Latif 33* (74b 4x4)*
Rashid Latif is the only hope now :( Misbah had a great chance to cement a place in the team but he blew it.
Pathetic Pakistani batsmen, they have always let the country down, only one man deserves credit, and that was Yasir Hameed, other then that

They are looking to be bowled out under 350.
I was hoping to see them get past 400th mark, but that won’t be happening.
More pressure from Bengali team, Alok Kapali, Leg spinner brought in from University End, continuing the attack with Mohammad Rafique from the other side.
one more gone, Danish Kaneria in
