***Official*** England in Pakistan

i wud've thought a better lineup for pakistan would be Yasir Hameed for Younis Khan at No.3 as he's batted there before with success, looks a good player but still reliant on boundaries IMO. Then you have Kamal in at No. 6 who seems to have a very solid technique and is bound to capitalise on his numerous starts at Test match level, if the tail sticks with him.

Well FINALLY we win the toss 
i could have kissed Vaughy!
Very surprised Plunkett got the nod ahead of Anderson, it must be do to the fact there's no cloud cover and no grass on the pitch so they favor the more bang it in style of Plunkett over the full swingers of Anderson. Good choice i reckon.
Lets hope we can get a score of 400+ on.

Delighted to see Plunks playing, and also to see us win the toss - hopefully we can take full advantage of Pakistan being a bowler short (Afridi). Shame Gilo couldn't make it, very big game for Udal. If he fails, his place as 2nd spinner for the India tour could be in doubt.

Anderson must be gutted again.
A bit of movement early on but Shoiab too leg side to Tresco - Rana bowling well though.
How short is the straight boundary? it seemed it was over the ropes as soon as it passed mid on for that Vaughan straight drive!

You have to wonder how long the England selectors are going to go on picking him if they don't trust him to actually play.superkingdave said:

Anderson deserved to play for mine.

The man with the best conversion rate in international cricket reaches 50 - once an opening bat, always an opening bat.

Fair enough, but it was just a throwaway comment, really. I just think he's more comfortable as an opener, didn't really know the stats behind it.greg said:

Decent start by England.Need to get over 500 and then we will see if Pakistan bottle it like England did in Multan.

Vaughan caught sweeping, an end to a promising innings, hit straight to the square leg fielder.

Seems like a wise idea. Maybe we're trying to become the first team to lose all ten wickets to the same bowler and the same catcher.Nnanden said:Perhaps ALL English batsmen should stop sweeping to Yousuf?
