Ok, now a little worried.

 

[Spark]

How did we ever doubt 7 Sajid

 

[Groundking]

In massive trouble here.

[Burgey]

Quite the turnaround this

 

[King Kane]

Another ripper from Sajid Khan, straight through the gate.

The moustache magician is working his magic.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Excellent contest this.

 

[Pothas]

Not ideal this.

 

[ashley bach]

Holy smoke

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

*Gulp*

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Blimey

 

[Spark]

Actually kind of makes sense that Pakistan would be more suited to a UAE-style pudding turner than the highways they've rolled out since coming back home. This game feels a lot like a UAE game with the Pakistan bats grinding their way to a decent total and then just sort of finding ways to flummox the visiting batsmen somehow.

How's the golf in Pakistan? Ben getting rusty?

A lottery pitch was a good tactic for Pakistan in this match and they got the luck with the toss.

 

[Groundking]

Quite a way up the creek here...

A. It's not spinning so imagine he'll be ok
B. Even if he got out in what world would we be in any trouble. With Duckett seeing it like a beachball and 4/5 scored 550 runs on this pitch last week that is playing pretty much the same.

Still thinking this?

 

[BazBall21]

Stokes is dead and buried against spin.

Yep, toss starting to look crucial. This pitch has changed dramatically in the last hour it seems.

 

[King Kane]

Stokes wasn't even good enough to get out to the great Sajid Khan, he got out to Noman Ali at the other end.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ooops. So much for 500.

1-1 going to Rawalpindi. Game on.

 

[Johan]

uhhhh try to get to 300 from here and have Pakistan pull a Pakistan
