Misbah-ul-Haq lbw b Sammy 1 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 20.00

Fall of wicket: 72/4 (22.4 ov); Partnership: 5 runs, 1.3 overs, RR: 3.33 (Misbah-ul-Haq 1, Mohammad Hafeez 4)

Questions being asked about the last 2 umpiring decisions. Doesn't make me feel too comfortable because the umpires may be inclined to even things up when WI bat!

true howzdat!

allyuh see baugh standing up to sammy! he can stump a man easy. sweet!

nice looking ground...providence! looks like a nice crowd too it appears!

Mohammad Hafeez b Sammy 55 (83b 6x4 0x6) SR: 66.26

Fall of wicket: 93/5 (28.2 ov); Partnership: 21 runs, 5.4 overs, RR: 3.70 (Mohammad Hafeez 5, Umar Akmal 16)

So if we double the 30 over score Pakistan on schedule to get 200. But they have lost the top 5 so WI ought to aim to restrict them to less than that. All depends on how soon the 6th wicket falls. Rampaul back into the attack - good move.

Umar Akmal b Rampaul 24 (27b 1x4 1x6) SR: 88.88

Fall of wicket: 108/6 (30.6 ov); Partnership: 15 runs, 2.4 overs, RR: 5.62 (Shahid Afridi 7, Umar Akmal 8)

Shahid Afridi c †Baugh b Rampaul 9 (10b 1x4 0x6) SR: 90.00

Fall of wicket: 113/7 (32.1 ov); Partnership: 5 runs, 1.1 overs, RR: 4.28 (Shahid Afridi 2, Mohammad Salman 0)

Wahab Riaz c Sammy b Rampaul 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Fall of wicket: 113/8 (32.4 ov); Partnership: 0 runs, 0.3 overs, RR: 0.00 (Mohammad Salman 0, Wahab Riaz 0)

That was a quick delivery to dismiss Afridi! Rampaul must be an automatic choice for the tests.
This pitch is not easy to bat on!
