0.3 Hoy to Shoaib M, one run, off the mark with a quick single dashed into the off side
0.5 Hoy to Shoaib M, FOUR, short with extra bounce, slashed through midwicket, first boundary
2.6 Hoy to Salman, FOUR, offers width outside the off stump, Salman cuts and through the slips for another boundary
3.2 Patrick to Salman, FOUR, good line and length from Patrick, Salman steps back and attempts the drive, ball flies off the outside edge between gully and third slip, streaky boundary
3.6 Patrick to Salman, two runs, Pakistan getting off to a nice start here, this one short and with width and Salman drives to cover, not good contact and only two runs
6.1 Hoy to Salman, FOUR, juicy delivery outside off, driven away square
6.2 Hoy to Salman, FOUR, short and hooks, down to backward square
6.3 Hoy to Salman, FOUR, this one too wide, Salman says thank you by driving him through point again
9.5 Patrick to Shoaib M, no run, swings at a widish delivery, the first time the bowler has had the advantage for some time
10.0 Camps on for Hoy
11.0 Robbins on for Patrick. Good over the last one, just the single from Salman.
14.2 Camps to Salman, FOUR, yet again, another delivery outside the off stump, Salman steps back and drives hard through cover
14.3 Camps to Salman, FOUR, shorter and wider, Salman tempted into the drive, catches the outside edge but it's enough to take him past fifty
14.5 Camps to Salman, OUT, there it is! catch held well at mid off by Patrick, as Salman drives one time too many, he's hogged the strike and made a quick 53, but struggled against the change bowlers.
Code:
Salman Butt c Patrick b Camps 53 (61b, 8x4)
Score: 73/1
18.4 Robbins to Shoaib M, no run, the loudest appeal yet, Robbins has been hitting Shoaib's pads but mostly with a poor line and length, resulting in a number of rejected appeals. This one might have been out but the umpire's got so used to turning them down now
20.5 Pickup to Shoaib M, no run, lucky escape for Shoaib, good length delivery turning away, Shoaib sees it early and drives, catches the bottom edge straight to Butler at mid off, comes at him too quickly and doesn't react
21.3 Halsey to Younis, OUT, spin does it! Sliced shot from Younis to Goff in the gully, well held diving catch
Code:
Younis Khan c Goff b Halsey 8 (16b)
Score: 102/2
23.5 Halsey to Yousuf, one run, quiet single into the off side, really been struggling to read the spinners today
26.6 Pickup to Yousuf, FOUR, finally, Pickup strays on the stumps after bowling an immaculate line, Yousuf pulls away for a boundary
27.2 Halsey to Shoaib, FOUR, smashing shot through the off side, Pakistan wrestling back here
28.4 Patrick to Shoaib, no run, beaten outside the off stump, good delivery swinging away from the batsman
30.1 Patrick to Yousuf, OUT, clever bowling! Patrick serves up one just a bit short, hopes that Yousuf will be pressured by the run rate, and he slices that one to Hoy - another catch held!
Code:
Mohammad Yousuf c Hoy b Patrick 13 (26b, 1x4)
Score: 133/3
30.2 Patrick to Inzamam, no run, ooh! quick delivery, beats Inzamam outside the off stump. Patrick delivering a crucial spell here
34.1 Patrick to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, rare boundary from Shoaib, steps back and drives calmly, somehow finding the gap in a stacked off-side field
36.1 Patrick to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, strays on the stumps, glanced down to backward square leg for anopther boundary
39.2 Halsey to Shoaib Malik, OUT, big wicket! Pakistan had been cutting loose, scoring plenty of runs, now Shoaib Malik inside edges a drive onto off stump, Halsey has his second wicket as reward for tight bowling
Code:
Shoaib Malik b Halsey 77 (106b, 7x4)
Score: 177/4
39.6 Halsey to Afridi, no run, and yet another swing and miss from Afridi. One run off an excellent over, varied the pace and flight well
40.4 Pickup to Afridi, OUT, tempting ball outside off stump, Afridi drives, straight, Halsey is in the deep and holds a fine catch
Code:
Shahid Afridi c Halsey b Pickup 1 (6b)
Score: 180/5
43.1 Hoy to Kamran, FOUR, short, cuts, down to third man where there's a fielding error, three runs given away there
43.6 Hoy to Kamran, OUT, another catch! good length ball outside off, Kamran flashes his bat out for a brief moment, the ball hits something and goes through to Chaulk, pleading appeal, the umpire's given it
Code:
Kamran Akmal c Chaulk b Hoy 9 (16b, 1x4)
Score: 193/6
45.6 Hoy to Abdul Razzaq, no run, beaten outside the off stump and that's a maiden over! What a comeback from Hoy
47.1 Hoy to Abdul Razzaq, OUT, and the inevitable. Slices a bottom edge to Butler, and Pakistan will be roundly disappointed after failing to put away their advantage
Code:
Abdul Razzaq c Butler b Hoy 2 (12b)
Score: 199/7
47.2 Hoy to Naved-ul-Hasan, OUT, full, fast, strikes middle stump. Rana Naved was nowhere near that ball
Code:
Rana Naved-ul-Hasan b Hoy 0 (1b)
Score: 199/8
47.4 Hoy to Shoaib A, one run, prods at that and it goes through past first slip, 200 up
48.2 Pickup to Shoaib A, OUT, slider from Pickup, Shoaib couldn't pick that correctly and gets a thin inside edge as the ball strikes off stump
Code:
Shoaib Akhtar b Pickup 1 (4b)
Score: 200/9
48.5 Pickup to Umar Gul, two wides, what was that? Pickup suddenly strays far down the leg side, even Chaulk can't gather that correctly, a couple of wides to spoil his figures. The extras column of six reads very nicely today, though
49.1 Hoy to Inzamam, OUT, well that was all. Fine delivery outside off, swings away, Inzamam swings and gets a thick edge through to Chaulk. Pakistan bowled out for 204, collapsing totally from 177 for three.
Code:
Inzamam-ul-Haq c Chaulk b Hoy 32 (43b, 1x4)
Score: 204
