[_Ed_]

Fantastic - Somerville really deserved that. And isn't he stoked? Look at him!

Will Somerville has a test wicket.

I say but I still don't believe it.

 

[trundler]

Haha, what a tense and exciting over. Single off the last after being stuck on 99 for the first five. Great stuff.

 

[trundler]

Well played Shafiq. Need to push the lead past 100 here.

first of many.

 

[nightprowler10]

With both of our set batsmen gone, I'd be happy with a 100 lead. Hope we can get there and not lollapse.

 

[Burgey]

Ooh. Just checked the socreline on crap info. This could get ugly real quick for NZ if they don’t wrap this up ASAP.

 

[Starfighter]

Honestly I think unless they're dismissed very quickly Pakistan have this in the bag.

 

[Athlai]

Come on under 60 run lead

 

[Meridio]

Really need a Pakistan lollapse here - reckon the pitch will suddenly start looking dangerous when Yasir is bowling on it. Lead of 43 atm, if that balloons out to 100 we're gone.

 

[Flem274*]

****ing wreck them for a small lead then be brave one last time with the bat for a score before feasting on SL next week at home

 

[Spikey]

not sure why somers somerville should do that given your blatant disrespect towards him tbh

 

[morgieb]

Morgie rarely Gambhirs, he's just really pessimistic and has no idea when he's being stupid about it. When he gets called on it he says it's Gambhiring, but it rarely is.

Heh, I definitely think I exaggerate my pessimism for dramatic effort. At least a fair bit of it is genuine though, I'm more "a very emotional type that doesn't deal all that well with twists and turns" than a full fledged Gambhirer/pessimist.

 

[Moss]

Spinners hauling NZ back in, good to see. Though it probably means NZ are well and truly up against it in the 3rd dig.

 

[Athlai]

Gloriously woeful

Yeah basically just an old fashioned knee jerker from way back. You're overly optimistic at certain times as well.

 

[Flem274*]

the pakistani lower order panic just gave our (does head count) 5th choice spinner at the start of the series a 4fer to go with the 4th choice getting 5fer in the first

 

[smash84]

WTF just happened here. I checked half an hour ago and they we're 6 wickets down. Now all out : blink:

 

[Meridio]

From 286/3 we'll take that, but a lead of 74 is pretty substantial.
