Pakistan v England 2nd Test, Dubai, Oct 22-26

[Aidan11]

Looks like Business as Usual today.

[Aidan11]

Woody strikes.

[hopeforthebest]

Timely wicket from Wood a bit lucky strangle. Strangely Buttler is terrific catching to his left down leg side but less so with diving catches to his right.

[Aidan11]

I think we only took four wickets on day 1 of the first test so let's hope we improve on that by stumps.

[Arthur Crabtree]

50 for Misi. I'm guessing 350 will be par, so quite a way to go.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Stokes has been looking a bit weary today.

Not sure if that is a right handed thing. I played in goal for a power league team years ago, no one beat me at the left post, but couldnt save a giant beach ball travelling at 0.2mph to my right.

Stokes has been looking a bit weary today.

he was probably hoping we would win the toss and bat so he could have an extra day to recover

rashid seems to be bowling better lengths than earlier

but misbah is hitting him for six anyway

just need one of them to turn

[hopeforthebest]

Odd that it's the spin bowlers going for runs whilst pace is economical, should be the other way around.

[Aidan11]

Well this sucks.

[Aidan11]

No nervous nineties for Misbah.

[sussexpob]

I wonder if I could make 50 against an international attack in UAE

[dan08]

Fine knock from Misbah. I wonder if he'll delay his retirement.

[backfootpunch]

very much pakistans day after being 70-3

winning the toss could be very important, especially if they make 400+ which it looks like they will

you get the impression this pitch will turn a lot more than the previous one towards the end

[Aidan11]

The clocks go back this weekend so don;t forget Sunday's play (Day 4) will begin at 6am GMT.
