***Official Thread England vs Pakistan 2nd Test ***

[pasty]

Pakistan have won the toss and will bat.

Could work in Englands favour. A bit of cloud cover which could make Jimmy nice and dangerous.

Broad strikes.

Farhat c Prior b Broad 0 (24 balls, no score!)

Pakistan 8/1

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Good start, TMS saying he is bowling great off cutters.

 

[Gwylan]

I'm not going to start a new thread for it but the Sri Lanka v India test is a cracker.

India want 257 to win in over a day on a wicket that's taking some spin - but is not a real bunsen.

That could be a tight finish

Butt goes for 7 b Finn c Swann

Pakistan stuggling to score, they went 50 balls without scoring off the bat, great test cricket bowling.

 

[Marshy]

perfect conditions for bowling

Prior the flyer ! Great take.

Malik c Prior b Andersen 3

12/3

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great diving catch from Prior to get Mailk

 

[Mendoza]

will they make tea?

Yup. As I said on opening post, odd decision for Pakistan to bat first after winning the toss.

According to cricinfo Straus said he would have batter as well. Bet he's glad he didn't now...

Was he just trying to make the Pakistan captain feel less of an idiot perhaps?

Blimey! A SIX !!!

First Pakistan batsman into double figures after an hour and a halfs play.

 

[Trigger]

And there goes another one.

29/4 - Azhar Ali lbw Broad 0 from 32 balls.

 

[pasty]

This is getting embarrassing

About right

At least they have saved the follow on for themselves...

 

[Uncle Buck]

I think another 3 day test is on the cards here.

 

[wag chaser]

will they make tea?

I think they have a lady who does that for them

 

[Uncle Buck]

5 down.
