*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Groundking]

I`m interested to see how Hales goes here... has had a good time in England till now, bur Pakistan a considerably better new ball attack.... Nice shot...

You're fault

 

[morgieb]

Cracking over that from Rahat.

 

[Jono]

that whole over was just awesome.

 

[anil1405]

Good Bowling.

 

[StephenZA]

That's just a good ball....

 

[weldone]

fantastic first over from Rahat Ali

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good over that, worked Hales over a treat.

 

[MW1304]

Chris Woakes now has a better all rounder average (bat ave - bowl ave) than Ben Stokes...

He's demanding selection as a bowler. Stokes demands selection as a batsman. The latter is more important for balance.

 

[anil1405]

One more wicket in the next few overs would even things up.

Great over from Rahat. Hales looked really poor there.

 

[Jono]

I missed Pak batting this morning (except Misbah dismissal I randomly saw live) and the first over by Amir. - what was the reception like:

(a) when Amir came out to bat; and
(b) when Amir came to bowl the first over

?

I think Hales would make a great 5/6 not sure about opening though.... Root at 3 makes so much sense.

No reaction what so ever. Polite applause when he bowled that every bowler gets.

Polite which you would expect at Lord's.

Doubt he will get same reaction from a tanked up Hollies stand at Edgbaston.

 

[StephenZA]

Cook such a class player...

 

[91Jmay]

What an awful over this is after that first nice over.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Off to a flyer here, bowled some dross to Cook so far.

 

[Daemon]

That last ball moved into Cook in the air but the seam was pointing away wtf

 

[Compton]

Cook 21 (9).

I didn't think I'd ever type that.
