71.1

Panesar to Younis Khan, 2 runs, Stop the press! This series has a 100 and it has gone to Younis Khan! Full ball, he leans across and sweeps comprehensively for two. The helmet is off even as he turns for the second. Sunny G and Kapil stand up in applause. A standing ovation for a champion innings. Younis has looked superb today.

We should bat England out of the match from hereon. Pile on the agony, no need to declare, hopefully bat all day tomorrow.

Anderson to Younis Khan, 1 run, short ball, sits up on the hips and Younis milks another single through the leg side. Pakistan have 200.** Less than a day after being rolled out for 99, they are in complete control of the match. Astounding.**

Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012

It would be quite remarkable if Pakistan do go on to win this game. Not many sides have won a test match after getting bundled out for under 100 in the 1st innings

Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012

Younis has a fantastic conversion rate

20 hundreds and 25 fifties in 76 tests

i.e. 20/45 (almost 45% century conversion rate)

cricinfo:

Strauss applauds Younis and Azhar as they march off the ground. Misbah welcomes his colleagues back into the dressing room with happy hugs.** For the second time in the recent past, the world’s No. 1 Test team is staring at a whitewash.**

Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012

Look at the contrast between English and Pakistani cricketers

**Strauss **(2004 to 2012) has played 92 tests in 8 years!! (they not only get to play more tests but also most tests during their peak years)
Younis (2000 to 2012) has played just 76 tests in 12 years!!

Time for me to retire for the day!! :smiley:
