Pakistan vs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 – 2nd Test – Live Cricket Score and Update
- http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 bowled out on 257
Pakistani innings fell apart on the second morning with last three wickets adding just one run as the England pacers kept their good work to restrict the hosts on 257 in their first innings of the 2nd Test, played at the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imtiaz-Sheikh-c64290 Zayed Stadium,
January 26, 2012.
Resuming on 256 for 7, the Men In Green would have hoped to insert a little more authority in their game play to post something of note, but fell flat against the aggressive bowling of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 and James Anderson.
Misbah’s impressive knock of 83 had eased the pressure in the Pakistani camp on the first day and much was expected from the skipper to carry on his good work. However, he could add only a solitary single before his tentative lunge forward to Broad caught
him well of guard to a ball, which nipped back a little to hit his pads.
With him remaining the only recognized batsman, he took an immediate referral but it was more in a hope than anything substantial, which soon saw him walking off the field on 84. It was a sublime over from the lanky bowler, who just tinkered on the off
stump line to get the just reward.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 had hung around for 14 balls without opening his account, but with the pacers getting the ball to move around, it was a matter of time before he too followed his skipper back to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 to give his side the upper hand in the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501; the only dismissal in the innings which did not came courtesy of a bowled or lbw. The Poms will be relieved to have got the early head start on Day 2 and now will look to bat for most of the day to swiftly turn around a 1-0
series deficit. However, with the pitch offering turn, their task against Ajmal and Co will certainly be a fascinating contest.
