To Frustrate Hosts

At Ageas Bowl 

England v Pakistan 2nd Test 2020

Three steps to it. Three others on the off side just behind here backward point squarish extra cover and a wide bit off the other three.

Yes, good piece and the bones on the surface noise picking up 126-5.

Well, i've seen that so often listening ball has been clipped through the on side another boundary.

Whoa, look at that movement 138-5.

So many runs through that on side again, it may not go all the way or will it yes, it's there.

Wide of the crease and that's the point you were making in the release points we showed that ball there is wider the crease just trying to make the batsman play just mixing it up enough.

The babar azam and pakistan will look at their hours cricket very happily indeed 155-5. The five being crucial because that's where they were overnight. So england haven't managed to take a wicket. Even though conditions are absolutely perfect for their swinging scene bowler. So slow going that run rate under two and over but pakistan won't worry about that. They haven't lost any wickets.

End of Session 1 (Lunch Session)

Nic again knocked him over well bowled from board Excellent delivery angled in and left him and just a little edge and joss butler did the rest.

England got 6^th wicket of  Babar Azam goes for 47. Stuart Board got them breakthrough

 

Oh good shot! yasir shah. That'll be four all the way along the carpet. That's what you're going to get every now and again when you're trying to pitch it up you're just going to get the odd one wrong.

I think that he nicked that he has another wicket for anderson full swinging enticing the drive found the outside edge. I mentioned are they going to play any shots? I think it's the type of shots to the type of deliveries that you play. This is high risk.

England got 7^th wicket of  Yasir Shah goes for 5. James Anderson got them breakthrough

 

Oh now nic that has it carry root’s not sure and they're gonna have to have a check there.

Umpire voice “Okay, roll that through please Okay, I see the ball on the ground there. So i'm gonna go back, uh onto the big screen and my decision is not out”

Run out chance on the none-striker side and gone direct hit. That is out don’t need review for that. Tail ender's dismissal. I don't know what shaheen shah     was doing here. He's just wandering around in the middle of the crease in the middle of the pitch.

England got 8^th wicket of  Shaheen Shah goes for Golden Duck(Runout).

 

His legs side he's not worrying about the single on this occasion he's going to take whatever runs are on offer Four to end the 75^th over 180-8.

Oh, no, maybe another one broad this time to butler, I think he might have just got back the tail enders are desperately trying to get off strike to get rizwan on strike.

Oh he thought about it he thought about it. What does joe root do there were two noises I heard.

England went for a review and they lost that review

 

Umpire voice ”Okay, just roll that back please Pull it through. Okay. I need to go any further. We've got a inside edge on to pad. Let's go back to richard on screen on field. You're on screen now richard play with your original decision”

The man down in that fielding position cannot cap that off. Another boundary for his one second for him. He's on 35 now.

That's a gorgeous shot and it's a chase for jimmy Anderson. He's not going to be able to cut it off that was time beautifully. Stunning shot from this one. That was his fourth boundary on the up with the swing.

Just a moment or two of aggression. Oh, that's a good swing at the back from rizwan if he hit this it might have been up with us.

Too he's gonna have to run very very quickly so is a pass. Well, they're gonna have a look not a huge amount of animation, but it was always a very tight second. Not out some more bad cricket from England. England these tactics of having everyone out on the fence except for a couple of suits when there's so much movement. In the pitch just a bad cricket and that two runs very very well deserved 50.

Big appeal from board nothing from umpire a couple of reviews left.

England went for a review and they retained that review 

Umpire voice “Okay, we've got pitching outside off impact in line and umpires call on the stump. So we'll go back to richard on field to stay with your original decision. You're on screen now Richard”

Meter reading once it reaches that reading the umpires will get together. Mr. Kettleberry. There is just saying looks like he's saying it's reached the level where they're going to have to go off so it didn't take long. Meter came on and within one delivery they're off. Well, what a session it's been for for is one and a abbas. Last uh what 40 minutes or so 50 minutes 39 is the partnership, but they've managed to bat out for 59 deliveries and what a innings he's played under very difficult conditions for he and his team.

End of Session 2 (Tea Session)

Very close. Yeah given out. Is he going to review it? Yeah

Pakistan went for a review and they lost that review 

 

Umpire voice “Okay, we've got the pitching outside off impact in line hitting the wickets, so we'll go back to richard on field stay with your original decision. You're on screen now”

England got 9^th wicket of  Muhammad Abbas goes for 2. Stuart Board got them breakthrough

Frustrating for everyone amount of effort that's gone into putting this series on something as simple as the light can't just be overlooked and overruled see every player just to carry on and that’s the stumps day 2.
