***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

Asad stupid attempted slog hurting us here this could end pretty quickly now.

Haha Misbah ******ing Adnan off the field. WAG

Scared he would go for a cheeky review when his back was turned.

 

[Faisal1985]

Amazing bowling by Broad considering the flat pitch...

 

[Spark]

Anderson reminding everyone that he's a bit of a jaffa machine too.

85.6
Broad to Adnan Akmal, OUT, that was given out as an lbw, strangely! There was an inside edge onto the pads which lobbed straight to Prior, Adnan got forward to defend, the ball was bang in line with the stumps, replays showed an inside edge
Adnan Akmal lbw b Broad 9 (26b 2x4 0x6) SR: 34.61

Umpire clearly didn't want to muck up the scorecard. Can only assume the fielders have had the same thoughts.

All Pakistan's batsmen today have really looked quite terrible against the ball coming come back into them, either off the seam or in the air. Just no clue, and I don't just mean the dismissals either.

 

[Howe_zat]

Was looking pretty disappointing with 200/4 on the board. Pretty happy for the day now, get Misbah and I'll be ecstatic.

Yup that was a total brain fart from Asad...at a terrible time too.

 

[hazsa19]

Are we trying to make things more difficult than they already are?

They all have a tendency to go right across the stumps and plant the front foot, so it's no huge shock.

Normally 6 down you'd think it was an even day but they've scored fairly slowly and I make us just about ahead

 

[Xuhaib]

Andnan dismissal was a typical Sachin - Broad/Anderson dismissal.

Well ahead IMO.

 

[Faisal1985]

Slow, gritty, boring as **** but a very very important 50 from Misbah.

 

[GIMH]

Well ahead IMO.

Memories of last week's dismissals were in mind when I made said post

 

[Cevno]

They all have been playing for the outswinger and get into trouble with the inswinger.

Btw, don't think this pitch is a road either(which is a word which is thrown around too loosely). Actually it has probably more in it for the bowlers than the last one, from what i have seen so far.

 

[Xuhaib]

Well ahead IMO.

nah 300 will be a par score here imo.

Quite some way away though.

 

[Faisal1985]

Hope Rehman can stick around...left right combo should throw off the bowlers a bit but really important he stays on the wicket with Misbah.

Yup. if we bat anything like last week then they're well ahead.
