Hasan Ali is exactly the kind of bowler Smith eats for breakfast. Middling pace, skiddy and into the pads.

Putrid tail from PAK, guess they are expecting another flat wicket

In 1974, the ground was renamed in honour of the former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi following a speech he gave at the 2nd Organisation of the Islamic Conference meeting in Lahore in favour of Pakistan's right to pursue nuclear weapons.

Gaddafi prepares to end long hiatus

The Gaddafi Stadium, named after the former Libyan leader in 1974 -- has been the focus of the cricketing world on numerous occasions.

It was here that Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga lifted the trophy after their shock World Cup triumph in 1996, sparking wild celebrations on the island.

But 13 years later, the Sri Lankan cricketers had to be airlifted in a helicopter after the horrifying terror attacks.

Last year, the Pakistan government resisted calls from the world community to change the name of the Stadium after the autocratic rule of Libya's leader ended in a bloody revolution.

Continue to honor a dead murderous dictator because he supported your nations right to bear nuclear weapons...sounds about right

Smith looking ****ing ominous. Last time he started like this he made a 100 that was only cut off by the brilliant fielding of sir jadeja.

Lahore does seam somewhat early at times. The deck does have more grass than the first two decks. Still it’ll probably flatten out.

It's probably happened already lol

If Smith goes without a 50 we know who to blame.
