1 for 84. A solid start to England's reply.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Akmal is appealing on every single ball, no matter what type of shot is played. I reckon the umpires might have a word with him soon, it's is getting silly. He should just hold onto his chances then they might get one.

Looks like they are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Looks like the batsmen want to be at the non stirkers end.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Well we kicked India's backside, now for the Poms in in 2013.
Crikey, I trialled for Northamptonshire in 1966 ! The days of Colin Milburn (he was my sportsmaster - flogged me with his willow), Keith Andrew and Roger Prideaux.
But at the end of the day, nothing like an Ashes series, cancel the bloody Olympics and stick the Ashes on in 2012.

Re: The Cricket Thread
England are going to win this one - batsmen with something to prove to keep their places and Pakistan did not get enough runs.
Well done to them.

Great ball from Ajmal to dismiss KP, who'll be relieved it wasn't left arm spin

Pietersen gone for a potentially match-saving 18 ... I wish I had either your optimism or whatever it is you have been smoking.

Cook! Missed out on his half century again!
4 for 129, balance back in Pakistan's favour.
