England vs Pakistan first test thread

Bowled him! Raza out with a full pitched delivery, great bowling by Harmisson.
 
Gone! Akmal nicks Hoggard to first slip. Important wicket, England are into the Pakistani tail.
 
It seems England haven't lost their canny ability to take wickets when they really need them.

Knighthoods all round.

Except Udal.
 
Bad light halts play, England will be very happy with how they have got on especially after Pakistan's good start.
 
The attendance was a disgrace. What else is there to do in Multan on a Saturday that's better than watching the world's best cricket side plus Udal?

Udal didnt do too badly today, all things considered.

No but he's the fall guy for the series, and perhaps Bell depending on how he gets on.

Can't watch the game becuase the g/f is watching some shite. Having to follow it via the BBC website. Looks like Harmison is bowling well but the pakistani's seem to be well on top.

You can listen to Test Match Special through Radio 4 on the website.
 
Welcome everyone to the start of day two, England are in a good position, but Inzimam is still at the crease.
 
Inzimam out! Big wicket for England as Freddy makes him edge the ball to Strauss at second slip.
 
Bowled with a yorker from Freddy. Shabbir Ahmed never even looked like making contact with the ball.
 
Harmisson comes in and takes the wicket of Kaneria, caught at gully. Pakistan all out for 274. Very well bowled by England, but now they need to show some form with the bat, especially with their inexperienced lineup.

On that note, bye bye Strauss! FFS. :(
 
Great day for us. We'll be looking for 450+ I reckon.
 
Attaboy Tresco. Pleased that Bell got some runs too.
 
England appear to have now acclimatised and are now getting their batting into shape. I'm pleased for Trescothick, he gets a century as a captain for England, even though he had stated that he was not relishing the job. Good for him. :devil:
 
Being wanked off for Freddie Flintoff
