ehsan I think that the crowds in Pakistan tend to build up later, no idea why as it's a D/N match. I see that Mushtaq is back along with Shoaib. Pity they couldn't find a place for Umar Gul, I think we are overloaded with spin options. Sami and Shoaib have a big responsibility to bowl accurately today after replacing Shabbir and Gul who have used the new ball well when given the opportunity.

a very important series for Hafeez and hameed...they are in for long term...
1.2 Ntini to Yasir Hameed, FOUR, again short ball on legs, Yasir pulls
it nicely to long leg, no chance for fine leg fielder to cut it
wonderful short......
Pakistan 6/0 after 2 overs
Yasir 6
Yasir played the over from Ntini quite cofidently and correctly. Hafeez was not that confident against Pollock.
Superb four by Yasir.
Pakistan and Yasir 10.

all he had to do was contain Pollock...
Hafeez's footwork was non-existent. Pollock had him completely tied up with his accuracy. Welcome to real international cricket.
well it was expected....
