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

[Subhadeep]

Well done Pakistan so far! They should try to score 400 and bat England out of the game.

well done guys......50 for both openers

Gul got something yesterday but nothing big...so far nothing for Anderson and Co.

Gul got very little reverse. He tried by bowling a fair few Yorkers but didn't get much. According to Waqar no reverse in this pitch.

Thanks, guys. The outfield looks lush green despite the desert conditions. IIRC, reverse wasn't a huge factor in the Pak-SL series as well. Junaid, Wela, Gul et al. got most of their wickets with conventional movement.

Shouldn't be long before Swann picks up a wicket imo

Irfan Pathan.

Such a rare ****ing site... 100+ opening partnership from Pakistan.

Yeah. Hopefully this will be the start of a more consistent Pakistan. Their Hot/Cold performances of the past were so frustrating.

Cannot be 2007. Pakistan have put up a century opening stand!

Just woke up and can't believe what the scorecard says. How can an attack with Anderson and Tremlett bowl 30 overs without claiming a wicket? Really surprised!
Looking forward to see Tremlett bowl in this session.

Anderson and Tremlett get a blast from the past

Cannot be 2007. Pakistan have put up a century opening stand!

Taufeeq takes the shrapnel

About time. Come on another before lunch.

 

[Daemon]

Lovely. Straightening, hitting the top of off. Gun.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

He's feasted on Swann's pie, but England will take it I guess.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Beautiful ball to remove Toffee

is this the beginning of a collapse?
