    back to the 'good ol days' in the subcontinent, pretty much wall to wall spin, almost no time for the batsmen to settle in or think

    Good TMS moment earlier:

    India 12/3 after 11 overs against NZ in First test !

    Positive start by Smith and Carse in the 1st over and they are going to be aggressive. Fortunately Carse hit the ball so hard that a C+B couldn't be taken by Sajid.

    2nd over a maiden !!

  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Carse goes for the big hit but is caught at long on and the impressive Sajid gets his 5th wicket.

    Sajid takes the wicket of Potts, his 6th. Smith is likely to be left stranded come the end of this innings

    256-8 and 110 behind
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Sajid strikes again and bowls Potts for 6

    Or not. Smith holes out

    262-9
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Smith goes for the big hit as he's running out of partners and is caught 21 B Noman.
    262/9
    Still 104 adrift.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Pakistan might have seven spinners but they've only used four of them and Sajid and Noman have bowled 50 of the 63 overs bowled by the whole team - and taken all 9 wickets too. That's what Leach and Bashir will probably have to do.

    Leach must have been having sweep lessons from Duckett albeit more of the "slog" variety

    This is a different Jack Leach as a batsman.
    20 from 20 balls and 3 x 4 already.

    291 all out. Deficit of 75.

    But potentially some important runs there for the final wicket.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    -Unfortunately Bashir doesn't execute his slog sweep as well as Leach has been doing and is caught for 9 (19) at short midwicket to give Sajid figures of 7-111. Leach's contribution is 25* (25)

    Pakistan go into their 2nd innings, effectively 75-0

    Potts and Leach to open the bowling?

    And Duckett scored exactly that many more than the second highest scorer, Root

    England all out 291

    Leach not out 25
    Bashir c Masood b Sajid.9

    29 partnership for 10th wicket and Pakistan lead by 75.

    I enjoyed England scoring 823 runs in 1st test but this is a better contest.
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Leach opens the bowling on this '8th day' pitch and it's a maiden.

    It's Leach (with a maiden) and then Bashir. Slightly surprised that we aren't given one seamer a couple of overs with the new ball but I suppose what's been good for Pakistan should be good enough for us. 
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Wicket to Bashir. The faintest of touches is given out upon review. One to Bashir, caught by Smith down the legside

    9-1
