Pakistan v England. First ODI 11th November 2015

[Titanic]

Willey back upright and fit to resume... 188-8 (43 overs)

What can England add to this dismal total in the last 7? Looks to be 70-80 shy of a decent target, but you never know... maybe 220-230 could be enough??

 

[Titanic]

5 to go... 198-8

 

[Titanic]

2 to go 210-8

W&W have added 30 at 4.00RR

 

[Titanic]

One swipe too many for Willey... bowled for 13

213-9 (48.3)

 

[jakarta]

England's Brave New World of 'fearless, exciting & big hitting' batsmen have managed to get TWO sixes in the whole Innings...

 

[fleet]

Just come back to check the score after a meeting - can't believe we were all out for that after the score Morgan was building. Will need to bowl incredibly and hold every half chance from here!

 

[Titanic]

Hales
Roy
Root
Morgan
Taylor
Buttler
Moeen Ali
Woakes
REashid
Willey
Topley

If that batting line-up comes off, we will score bucketloads

England 216 all out (49.4 overs)

 

[Titanic]

This is going well...

1.3 Topley to Azhar Ali, 1 wide, hmmm ... down the leg-side again. It's like watching Harmison at Old Trafford 2007 ...
1.2 Topley to Azhar Ali, no run, bending back into the right-hander, defended with a squeeze of bat and pad, and half an appeal, but a clear inside-edge, outside the line. Good ball
1.2 Topley to Azhar Ali, 1 wide, down the leg side. That one did not swing ...
1.1 Topley to Bilal Asif, 1 run, swing, and a much tighter line, much better, a genuine edge and Joe Root at slip can't quite get his fingers under a half-volley of a chance!
1.1 Topley to Bilal Asif, 1 wide, swing, but wide and heading wider

Reece Topley bowls for the first time in an overseas international

 

[Titanic]

Ali bamboozled by a straight one... trapped in front!!!

12-1 (1.5 overs)

 

[Titanic]

WOW... a successful review!

Topley to Bilal Asif, OUT, massive appeal as Topley straightens another one into the pads! And England will review. Looks mighty straight, but it was a big stride, might be a height issue? Nope, he's a goner!

15-2

 

[Titanic]

That's more like it.

RIDICULOUS wasted review... it clearly hit the MIDDLE of the bat

39-2 (8.3 overs)

 

[Titanic]

and a third for Topley... 41-3 (9.5 overs)... just a glimmer of hope for England??

 

[Titanic]

Glimmer fading somewhat... 139-4 (30 overs)

78 from 20 with 6 wickets in hand... should be a cakewalk

 

[Titanic]

Clearly nobody cares... but we lost by 6 wickets with 38 balls remaining.

Poor effort with the bat, no hope with the ball in those circumstances

 

[Gwylan]

Poor effort with the bat

Bell out!

Oh, hang on ....
