Pakistan vs England – 2nd Test – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 stumble
After the Men in Green bowled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imtiaz-Sheikh-c64290 Zayed Stadium,
January 27, 2012.
The situation became even worse after Younis Khan was cleaned up by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Monty-Panesar-c2024 to halt the hosts on 36 for 3.
The second session first ended the resilience of the Poms tail, with all the drama unfolding in Mohammad Hafeez’s solitary over after lunch. He first got rid of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 through a quicker ball, which the player attempted to play off his back foot,
but the ball beat his bat to hit the off stumps.
Panesar arrived and unfortunately had to walk back soon after he was caught lbw by the spinner. The no.11 insisted to have hit the ball but with no reviews left, had to embrace his fate.
It left http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 stranded on an unbeaten 58 but the tourists took a healthy lead of 70 after ending on 327.
The start to Pakistan’s second innings was solid with Hafeez and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taufeeq-Umar-c92889, weathering the initial threat of Broad and Anderson. However, all changed when the spinners were brought into the attack as wickets tumbled in quick successions.
Both players were dismissed by spin in their first inning and endured a pretty similar fate with Ponty first getting rid of Hafeez, who was adjudged lbw and, after consultation with his partner, left the field without review the decision.
It was now left to Swann to turn on his magic, and he did, with an arm ball which went straight between the pad and bat of Umar, who played for the turn. Being 29 for 0, the Men In Green lost 2 on the same score to find themselves in plenty of bother.
It all became even more precarious when the left-arm spinner cleaned up http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, the
skipper plenty to do.
