Looks as if poor finishing will spoil Pietersen & Trott's hard work.

Dunno about that. Trott's slow innings put the rest under pressure. Wickets clatter when that happens.

by Allan D Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:19

Colly to the rescue - England have to make 150 to give themselves a chance.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:20

Trott's arrogance knows no boundaries. "I'll play at my own pace". FFS, not in a bloody T20 you won't. Get a farking move on, will ya!

Luke Wright getting some of that sixual healing.... Rolling Eyes

Trott was playing second fiddle to KP in the same way that KP played second fiddle to Morgan yesterday. Rice pudding pitch is chief villain, both today and yesterday.

I'm not sure that's fair - all players have days where they struggle a bit. He was clearly frustrated by it, and it looked suspiciously like KP ran him out.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:25

It's all academic in the long run, Shoey.

Oh, Wright has gone now. Will they make 150?

by DJ_Smerk Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:26

Brezzer's is a gonna.

Collateral damage by Arafat who is on a hat-trick!

by DJ_Smerk Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:27

Colly denies Arafat.

by Shoeshine Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:32

Thought both Wright and Collingwood did very well when they came in late on there.

That's a decent enough score - it's not easy to score quickly from the look of it.

by JKLever Sat 20 Feb 2010, 15:34

Yep decent enough on this pitch - probably worth 165 on a normal track.

Need to bowl well though.

Imran Nazir!

When will he learn?

The Yorkshireman strikes!

Imran Farhat!

BANG!

Two in an over for Shahzad.

How many consecutive matches have Pakistan lost now?

by The One Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:02

by Shoeshine Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:03

Ouch. Well, you'd think T20 is the format to break that sequence - no time to panic over a winning position.

by The One Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:10

well, pakistan is scheduled to only play t20s till the middle of july

by PlanetPakistan Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:13

11 if you include the loss to Pak A

by Shoeshine Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:15

That's a brave (but correct) call from the 3rd ump. Top work from Prior.

by Allan D Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:17

Yes, no love lost by the Lankies.

by The One Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:21

extremely lucky for england. his foot was in the crease and then was up for a fraction of a second and prior happened to break the stumps at that exact same moment

by PlanetPakistan Sat 20 Feb 2010, 16:23

yeah England keep getting lucky these days...they didn't deserve to win the oval test either and now they are going to win this BIG game purely because of luck.
