SportsTranscript
00:00:00We are here in Lahore for the first test in the Bancalfala Cup between Pakistan and West Indies.
00:00:05So three test matches followed by five Wanda International.
00:00:08So top quality cricket over the next four weeks or so on this channel.
00:00:12Well it's an early start here in Qadhafi Stadium, Lahore.
00:00:15Remember this test match will start at 9.30am local time.
00:00:19So expect the atmosphere to be just a little heavy.
00:00:21The winters are setting in in this part of the world.
00:00:24Now looking at the crease, they've left a lot of grass here.
00:00:27But come to the business area, there's hardly any grass on top.
00:00:31There are fewer sprinkling of dead grass that will not obviously come into play.
00:00:36This is a powdery surface. This is not a quick surface.
00:00:40And you see there's hardly any sheen on it.
00:00:42It is pretty dry.
00:00:44So I expect that Pakistan have looked after their interest really well here.
00:00:48They're largely depending on Canary's spin.
00:00:50And I'm sure come the second or the third day,
00:00:53we'll get this ball to turn quite viciously from the leg spinner.
00:00:56Well just a reminder from out here in the mid.
00:00:58Brian Lara has won the toss and the West Indies will be batting first.
00:01:01Darren Ganga, who had won good innings in that series against India.
00:01:07He is the test match batsman for West Indies.
00:01:10The average, he knows, he himself has confessed, needs to be improved.
00:01:15And he has shown some signs of just that in that last series against India.
00:01:19Chris Gayle, man of the tournament, in the Champions Trophy, 300s for him.
00:01:25So he'll be the linchpin of the Pakistani batting.
00:01:29Short and first runs for Chris Gayle.
00:01:40He's not running hard.
00:01:41He's trusting the pace of this outfield.
00:01:44Canaryah the dive is in, but it's a futile one.
00:01:48So West Indies off the mark with a four.
00:01:49And it's Chris Gayle who gets them going once again.
00:02:00Nicely struck off the back foot once again.
00:02:02A chase for Canaryah.
00:02:04That's the second dive from him, and this time a more successful effort.
00:02:12Gets a cheer from the crowd.
00:02:17There's that shot again.
00:02:19Really hits it extremely hard in that area.
00:02:22They've got to get that length fuller.
00:02:23A few more runs for West Indies.
00:02:35Umar Gould is really struggling here with control.
00:02:38Consecutive boundaries for Chris Gayle.
00:02:46Oh, he's having a terrible time.
00:02:50It's three boundaries in a row.
00:02:52And all three balls have been, well, very poor deliveries.
00:03:03Oh, gone.
00:03:04Brilliant catch.
00:03:05This is what Pakistan needed.
00:03:07And Umar Gould also needed that badly to get his confidence up to some level.
00:03:12Yunus Khan has taken the catch.
00:03:14And what a breakthrough for Pakistan.
00:03:17That was a very fine delivery for Umar Gould.
00:03:20The wheel hit was short, slightly outside the off-stump.
00:03:23And Ganga was trying to force towards the conclusion.
00:03:27And beautifully taken by the vice-captain.
00:03:30Not such a good shot there from Darren Ganga.
00:03:37He's gone for three.
00:03:38West Indies, 41 for one.
00:03:43Number three batsman for West Indies, Ram Narek Sarwan.
00:03:47He's got a pretty good test record.
00:03:50And I think even more impressive is his one-day record.
00:03:52Average in the high 40s.
00:03:55Somebody who's played quite a few one-dayers.
00:04:01Captain himself, Yunus Khan at second slip.
00:04:05Oh, good delivery.
00:04:06Difficult one for Ashoka De Silva.
00:04:08He raises the finger.
00:04:10Movement of the pitch.
00:04:11Shahid Nazeer in action.
00:04:17Ball pitching within the stumps.
00:04:19Coming in slightly.
00:04:21And I think Chris Gale was a little late in coming on the line of the ball.
00:04:25I think it's been a very good decision.
00:04:27Chris Gale gone for 34.
00:04:28The second wicket now down for 41.
00:04:30Well, that's a great man you're looking at.
00:04:37And some great numbers alongside him.
00:04:44No, says Ashoka De Silva.
00:04:46That looked very close.
00:04:47In fact, of the three appeals that we've seen from Shahid Nazeer, that looked the closest.
00:04:52It's also the end of the over.
00:04:5441 for two.
00:04:55And that looked really very, very close.
00:05:08Pitching at the line of the stumps.
00:05:11Ball hitting just below the knee roll.
00:05:14Very, very confident appeal.
00:05:15Very close, I would say.
00:05:21Again, that movement is gone.
00:05:22What a delivery from Shahid Nazeer.
00:05:27The third wicket has fallen.
00:05:29The slip catching today for Pakistan has been very good.
00:05:34That was a very fine delivery for Shahid Nazeer.
00:05:37We watch again.
00:05:39Knee to the slams.
00:05:40He panned the ball in.
00:05:42And I think he got him square also.
00:05:44Nicely taken in the slip.
00:05:46So Pakistan is really firing in.
00:05:49They have already got three wickets on.
00:05:51They are right on top.
00:05:53What a turn of events here.
00:05:55Ram Narai Sarwan goes for three.
00:05:57West Indies now four to six for three.
00:06:02Shiv Narayan Chandrapal perhaps the right batsman for West Indies at this stage.
00:06:06They are in trouble.
00:06:08The ball is moving around.
00:06:11That's close enough to call, is it?
00:06:13Yes.
00:06:13Given by the umpire.
00:06:17We had a couple of things really to look at here.
00:06:19Whether the ball pitched within the zone.
00:06:20It did.
00:06:21Yes.
00:06:22And I think it would have gone on to hit the stumps.
00:06:25And clearly Shim Narayan Chandrapal surprised by that Indipa.
00:06:30From Nazeer gone for five.
00:06:3352 for four.
00:06:34Dwayne Bravo is the new man in.
00:06:36Right hander.
00:06:37An edgy start, but he'll take it.
00:06:44It's a four.
00:06:45In the air and straight to the fielder at mid-off.
00:06:56Danish Canaria has struck for Pakistan.
00:06:58And it's the fifth wicket down.
00:07:05Well, he pitched this one up a little bit more Canaria.
00:07:09And Bravo couldn't resist the drive.
00:07:12Pulls out at mid-off.
00:07:1496 for five.
00:07:16Bravo gone for 32.
00:07:18And half the side is in the dressing room.
00:07:21West Indies and score of 96.
00:07:25New batsman is West Indian wicket keeper.
00:07:28Dinesh Ramdin.
00:07:33Gets all of that.
00:07:35Short and wide.
00:07:36And cracks that square for four.
00:07:38Off the mark.
00:07:39Dinesh Ramdin.
00:07:40But he sweeps and he's fallen into a plan here.
00:07:48And that is most disappointing.
00:07:51That is so, so disappointing.
00:07:54Closing in on lunch.
00:07:56Almost a stroke of lunch.
00:07:58Didn't have to play at it if he didn't want to.
00:08:01And Lara would be absolutely disgusted.
00:08:05In fact, it is lunch.
00:08:07So, 1.22 for six after 32 overs.
00:08:12And the stroke of lunch.
00:08:14Ramdin sweeps and holds out to deep backwards square.
00:08:18Brian Lara is still there on 27 from 54 balls.
00:08:21Fighting a lone battle.
00:08:22Pakistan have had a stupendous morning.
00:08:25Dave Mohamed comes to join Brian Lara.
00:08:34Well, as I was telling you, Inti.
00:08:37He's an attacking type of player.
00:08:41And that's a good example.
00:08:43But chose the right one to hit.
00:08:48Another streaky boundary down to third man.
00:08:53But that will bring him his highest score in Pakistan.
00:08:56Beautiful shot.
00:09:05The 50 for Brian Lara.
00:09:06He gets one there.
00:09:16And he tucks it away quite nicely.
00:09:17How well has he tucked it away?
00:09:19He's tucked it away for four.
00:09:22Brilliantly timed.
00:09:26Beautiful delivery.
00:09:27Has he got the outside edge?
00:09:28He walks.
00:09:30That's what Brian Lara is all about.
00:09:31Just started walking.
00:09:34It seemed to be a fairly thickish edge.
00:09:38And it's full enough.
00:09:41And brushes the outside edge.
00:09:44And that's a big wicket.
00:09:45It will do his confidence.
00:09:46A lot of good.
00:09:47Umargoo.
00:09:47Maybe Lara could have been thinking about being forward.
00:09:50It was full enough.
00:09:50And in that uncertain area.
00:09:52He's gone for 61-1.
00:09:5374 for 7.
00:09:56And after that good partnership.
00:09:58Between Dave Mohamed and Brian Lara.
00:10:01West Indies now have to build another one.
00:10:04Jerome Taylor has walked in.
00:10:09Well, they've asked.
00:10:14Here goes the back foot.
00:10:16It's on the line.
00:10:17And it looks pretty safe from here.
00:10:22And he's been given.
00:10:26Oh, and now it seems as if the wrong button was pressed.
00:10:31Even now I think the wrong button is being pressed.
00:10:34We've got two lights there.
00:10:40Mistake by the third.
00:10:40I'm quickly corrected.
00:10:42And he's put down.
00:10:47He's put it down.
00:10:49Inzamam at first slip.
00:10:52Had to move to his left.
00:10:54Got both hands to it.
00:10:55Should have held on.
00:10:58He's normally a good fielder.
00:10:59Inzamam in that first slip position.
00:11:01Well, that looks close.
00:11:06And he's given him.
00:11:10Goal picks up.
00:11:13His third wicket.
00:11:16And as they say, a man fixing a pipe couldn't be plumber than that.
00:11:20Just as we were thinking that Umar Gould may be just tiring a little and losing his focus.
00:11:27He's delivered.
00:11:28Got rid of Jerome Taylor for eight.
00:11:30West Indies eight down for two or two.
00:11:33New man in is Fidel Edwards.
00:11:36Replaced Jerome Taylor.
00:11:38West Indies lose the eighth wicket.
00:11:40And that's the end of Mohamed.
00:11:54Delivery that didn't seem to do too much other than go across him.
00:11:58Mohamed trying to force it through the offside.
00:12:01Just the thinnest of outside edges.
00:12:04And the rest was done by the keeper.
00:12:07Dave Mohamed put up stern resistance.
00:12:10It's gone for 35.
00:12:11West Indies 203 for nine.
00:12:14And to take it to the end and beyond, it will be Ian Bishop and with him Sanjay Mandraka.
00:12:24There's that cross batted slog.
00:12:25And there's Mohamed Yusuf who has dropped one of the simpler catches that you'd get in the deep.
00:12:32He didn't have a good time at short leg.
00:12:34And this is routine.
00:12:35It really is routine.
00:12:36It's in there for quite a while.
00:12:37And it's come at the perfect height.
00:12:44Good delivery and a brilliant catch.
00:12:47Shoaib Malik is the man.
00:12:48That's the fifth wicket for Umar Gull.
00:12:53That really should be more Shoaib Malik than the bowler.
00:12:57What a catch.
00:12:58Very instinctive.
00:12:59He's a very good fielder.
00:13:01What a catch to end the innings.
00:13:06He was at full stretch.
00:13:07Literally.
00:13:08He could not go any further.
00:13:09Five wickets for Umar Gull.
00:13:11For the third time in his test career.
00:13:14And Fidel Edwards now has to try to get West Indies back into the match by bowling well.
00:13:20Orn smiles and why shouldn't he be.
00:13:23Top scorer Brian Lara with 61.
00:13:25Chris Gale went off to a fly in the morning.
00:13:28And then some resistance coming through Dwayne Bravo and Dave Mohamed.
00:13:32So 206 West Indies in their first innings test match.
00:13:36And Shahid Nazir who really started things off quite nicely.
00:13:40Picking up three wickets.
00:13:43And Gull picked up the wicket of Ganga.
00:13:45But came back towards the end.
00:13:46Five for 65.
00:13:48And two wickets to Canary.
00:13:50Mohamed Athiz has been given another go at this level.
00:13:54Had a good last game against England.
00:13:56That is why he's been put alongside Imran Farad.
00:14:01Who's got a fair bit of quality.
00:14:03He can attack.
00:14:04But he needs to be a little bit more consistent.
00:14:11With and gone.
00:14:13It went away very quickly.
00:14:18This is where he likes them, Imran Farad.
00:14:25He's found the gap challenge for the field and the deep who does well.
00:14:28I think it's Fidel Edwards.
00:14:30Who has certainly redeemed himself with that desperate effort and dive.
00:14:36Good return as well.
00:14:40That's close enough to call.
00:14:42Yes.
00:14:42Gone.
00:14:43Imran Farad will have to leave the crease.
00:14:46And Jerome Taylor can rejoice that dismissal.
00:14:49Because it was top quality bowling.
00:14:52You see again.
00:14:54The ball pitching within the stumps.
00:14:57Just moving a little bit.
00:14:59Hit him right in front of the pitch.
00:15:00Very, very good delivery indeed.
00:15:02I think on this particular pitch, if you put the ball up to the batsman, you always have a chance to get him out.
00:15:11Imran Farad goes for nine.
00:15:12Pakistan have lost their first wicket for 16.
00:15:16So it's Yunus Khan who's come in once again early in the innings.
00:15:20He's a fabulous player.
00:15:22Average almost 50.
00:15:24Best of 267.
00:15:30Couldn't get hold of it.
00:15:32Rammed in.
00:15:37That's going to get two wights.
00:15:40Three wights actually.
00:15:41The light here isn't brilliant.
00:15:45We've said from the very moment we started, there hasn't been outstanding light.
00:15:51But it's deteriorated here in this final session.
00:15:54And the open arms means, do you want to go off batsman?
00:15:57Would you accept the light that you're offering?
00:16:00And there is your answer.
00:16:03The two umpires are walking towards the stump.
00:16:06And that's the gesture of the match being called off for today.
00:16:13So bad light has come into play as we expected.
00:16:16But let's again look at how the match went.
00:16:19West Indies, of course, winning the toss, elected to bat first.
00:16:21Had plenty of problems earlier on after Chris Gale gave them a rollicking start.
00:16:27You know, 34 of just 28 balls.
00:16:29And then they lost, what, three wickets in five balls or 15 balls it was.
00:16:34With then Lara coming in and just trying, he tried to stem the road.
00:16:39Good partnership with Dave Muhammad there, got 35.
00:16:43And in the end, West Indies passing 200.
00:16:46But they had to really work hard for it.
00:16:47Some very ordinary shots also played in that West Indian batting lineup.
00:16:52Jeffrey, amongst the bowlers, Umar Ghul had a sort of up and down day.
00:16:56But in the end, he'll take those figures.
00:16:58Five for 65, third five wicket hall for him.
00:17:00And this is how Pakistan have replied.
00:17:02So far, they've got 39 runs on the board.
00:17:04They've lost the wicket.
00:17:06They just had 14.5 overs.
00:17:08Imran Farad was the wicket to fall on nine.
00:17:11So Muhammad Hafiz and Yunus Khan, both in their double figures,
00:17:14are the unbeaten batsmen at stumps on day one.
00:17:17We'll look at the bowling figures here.
00:17:19Taylor getting that one wicket.
00:17:20Fidel Edwards and Taylor, of course, bowling quick.
00:17:23And Kali Moore came in a little late than I would have expected, personally.
00:17:28And he had a 10-run score of his 2.5 overs.
00:17:32Pakistan now 39 for 1 in reply to West Indies.
00:17:35Who got 206.
00:17:37So they trailed by 167 runs.
00:17:40And we've got plenty of time left in this test match.
00:17:43This is just the end of day one.
00:17:44This is where he's good.
00:17:52Like Brian Lara, he doesn't let go of the opportunities that come his way.
00:18:00Apesh into the gap for a 4.
00:18:03Didn't quite control it, Muhammad Hafiz.
00:18:06But he's worked hard in this innings.
00:18:08And he'll take that boundary.
00:18:11His 4th of the innings.
00:18:15That's gone into the gap.
00:18:17No 3rd slip in place.
00:18:19Mahmoud Yusuf took a calculated risk and it came off.
00:18:28And there he goes again, Yusuf.
00:18:33Just enough to get it to the boundary.
00:18:34And that's his 50.
00:18:50As a matter of fact, it's not a signal.
00:18:51And that buys.
00:18:58That's beautifully played.
00:18:59He's really brimming with confidence now, Hafiz.
00:19:12Given him.
00:19:13The finger comes up.
00:19:14It took a long time from Ashoka De Silva.
00:19:19Jerome Taylor has struck.
00:19:21LBW is the decision.
00:19:23That was a very fine delivery.
00:19:45And actually, it came in very sharply.
00:19:48And I think this ball kept low as well.
00:19:51And probably it was a little too late to come in the line of the ball.
00:19:57But Muhammad Hafiz got out 57.
00:19:59Very good inning by him.
00:20:02There was a huge round of applause as Inzamam Al-Hak, the Pakistan captain, came to the crease.
00:20:07It's just an amazing shot.
00:20:16Very silky swing of the bat.
00:20:23Oh, he's knocked him over.
00:20:24Dave Muhammad has struck.
00:20:27Beaten in the flight here in Zamam.
00:20:28And how he's enjoying that.
00:20:34It took a long while to come into the attack.
00:20:37But he's made use of this spell.
00:20:46Well, actually, he plays around the line of the ball.
00:20:49Probably he was thinking the ball will turn and come into him.
00:20:53In fact, he played inside.
00:20:55The ball went outside his bat.
00:20:57But he must be absolutely delighted, really, to get Inzamam out.
00:21:02Shad Malik.
00:21:03A very healthy average for a man who's only played 16 test matches, just under 40.
00:21:12Brings up his 50.
00:21:16Free-flowing 50 when a lot of batsmen have struggled on this surface.
00:21:23Down the track, that's a solid blow.
00:21:25That's gone all the way.
00:21:27First six of the innings.
00:21:38Hoisted high and away for four.
00:21:47It's been pretty consistent, Dave Muhammad.
00:21:48But until now, that's a short delivery.
00:22:01Crunching drive to end the over.
00:22:05182 for four.
00:22:06That one was too full and nicely stroked through the offside.
00:22:35That won't be caught.
00:22:36And the Pakistan's 200 has come up.
00:22:42Just three behind now.
00:22:46End of the over.
00:22:47It's 203 for four.
00:22:49It's Shwab Malik there.
00:22:50107 minutes at the crease.
00:23:00And it's Shwab Malik who once again impresses with that late cut.
00:23:08yes he may not come across as a technically gifted batsman but when it comes to commitment
00:23:16and when it comes to playing intelligent cricket you can always count on Shweb Malik
00:23:20first inning scores are level
00:23:26Pakistan certainly now at the advantage
00:23:30wickets in hand
00:23:32nicely crafted away for one against the spin by
00:23:37you sir as a result he also keeps a strike for down to a seven
00:23:50good shot straight driven once again he likes that area Shweb Malik earlier had
00:23:55belted one through mid on this one was nicely driven through mid off
00:24:00some good straight drives from Shweb Malik it's a slow pitch so you need to create all the power as a batsman
00:24:10that's what he did good follow through of the bat
00:24:14not an over pitch delivery played very much on the up
00:24:21now that he said he's got the idea of the pace in the pitch is able to play those kind of shots
00:24:28and of another over Pakistan 216 for four
00:24:35how good is that very classy Mohamed Youssef
00:24:42how good is that very classy Mohamed Youssef
00:24:49square drive against the spin beautifully played covered drive
00:24:54Mohamed Youssef in his 90s now 91 not out
00:24:58and this is the stage when you use that term is milking the bowlers
00:25:05bit of a float there in the air for Chris Gale but Mohamed Youssef
00:25:11had everything under control superbly timed drive
00:25:15bit of back there
00:25:22umpires are looking at their watches bails are off
00:25:28players are off
00:25:3084 runs picked up by Pakistan in this session
00:25:34it's a fruitful one
00:25:36no wickets fell
00:25:39the West Leagues were made to struggle hard
00:25:42the body language wasn't good
00:25:45wasn't great I have to admit that
00:25:47the West Leagues could have done just a little bit better in the field
00:25:50but they got no response from this pitch
00:25:52medium paces and the spinners lacked venom
00:25:56it's a very good session from Pakistan
00:26:01it was a session where Pakistan consolidated their position
00:26:05in this test match Mohamed Youssef not out 93
00:26:08Shoaib Malik has been patient for his 39
00:26:11and now Pakistan in a very good position here
00:26:15225 for 4
00:26:18and the bowling when you don't get a wicket in a session
00:26:21understandably the heads start dropping
00:26:24but you're quite right Ramiz
00:26:27just didn't quite show the spirit in the field
00:26:30bit of laziness creeping into the West Indian performance in the field
00:26:35those are the wicket takers
00:26:37Jerome Taylor couple of wickets
00:26:39Fidel Edwards getting one wicket and Dave Mohamed getting Inzamamul Haq
00:26:44out clean bold
00:26:50so that's the match summary
00:26:51West Indies would be disappointed after winning the toss
00:26:53they were bundled out for 206
00:26:56courtesy Umar Gul Nazir in Canaria
00:26:58Pakistan in reply now
00:27:00in a very very good position
00:27:02Pakistan lead by 19 runs
00:27:03yeah that's his hundred
00:27:07the most delicate of leg glances
00:27:11and the point in moment
00:27:18to bring up his 20th test match 100
00:27:24it's been absolutely wonderful hundred from Mohamed Youssef
00:27:28I have seen many names
00:27:31but I think probably this is one of the best in
00:27:33you have played under the
00:27:35trying condition when the Pakistan
00:27:37needed badly a hundred from him
00:27:39and definitely to deliver that
00:27:42now where is it
00:27:47Jerome Taylor puts it down
00:27:50now any number of people could have gone for that
00:27:53Dave Mohamed at point ladder at cover
00:27:55Taylor probably called for it
00:27:57and what an error
00:28:09I think total misunderstanding between the
00:28:12fienders and this is the third let off
00:28:15you really can't afford to give too many chances
00:28:18to Mohamed Youssef
00:28:20and I think he's been very lucky
00:28:22I suppose you have to be
00:28:24lucky to be successful
00:28:26great shot
00:28:32is really straight driven beautifully
00:28:35right through the innings
00:28:37it's also no ball
00:28:40as you expect the second new ball has
00:28:43made things happen
00:28:45seen some shots we've seen
00:28:47a chance of a wicket
00:28:50let them get themselves out
00:28:54now that is a better
00:28:57full shot or a hook shot
00:29:04that's the 14th boundary for Mohamed Youssef
00:29:07this is a shot of a man who's seen the ball like a breadfruit
00:29:11got on top of it hit it down
00:29:14down with good timing
00:29:17and away she goes
00:29:19in the umpire's opinion
00:29:29all of 22 overs remaining
00:29:32all of 22 overs remaining
00:29:44there's that extra bounce with this harder ball
00:29:46seeing it more than once
00:29:48your Mali is bemused by it
00:29:51he's having a look up in the sky
00:30:01as if trying to influence
00:30:03Simon Toffel
00:30:05to have another look at the light
00:30:07lead up just 59
00:30:20it's a little brighter
00:30:21the lights are on
00:30:26but I think there's one innovation that we've tried
00:30:29and it hasn't really worked
00:30:30the light towers
00:30:31and ICC
00:30:32I think should
00:30:33stop making an attempt
00:30:34to prolong play
00:30:35because of artificial lights
00:30:36it's too much of
00:30:38wastage of money
00:30:40it costs quite a bit
00:30:42to have these lights burning
00:30:43and I haven't seen them actually extend play
00:30:47more than 10 minutes
00:30:48or 15 minutes
00:30:49I've never seen it carry on for an hour
00:30:51because of the artificial lights
00:30:52they talk about the ball being red
00:30:55the side screen
00:30:57also not so helpful in these matters
00:31:10it's 265 for 4
00:31:25because of the flowers
00:31:26this is how Jet War
00:31:27does not know
00:31:28how the new TV has been
00:31:29is the bet
00:31:30and it's very, very much
00:31:31and if you're not
00:31:32I like to know
00:31:32that people are living
00:31:33in the sky
00:31:34I'm being one of them
00:31:35and I've never seen anything
00:31:36because of the nomination
00:31:37that was not really
00:31:38and I'm being one of them
00:31:39I'm being one of them
00:31:40I'm not here
00:31:41but I'm not here
00:31:42it's very much
00:31:43I'm going to throw away
00:31:44and I'm not here
00:31:45I'm not here
00:31:46I'm not here
00:31:47but I'm here
00:31:49I'm not here
00:31:50and I'm not here
00:31:51I'm not here
00:31:52I'm not here
00:31:53but I'm not here
00:34:14replay really will confirm where they did or not difficult catch difficult chance
00:34:26they're always difficult when you have to really come forward
00:34:33oh nicely put away over pitching Jerome Taylor and Abdul Razak is a sweet striker of the ball
00:34:38agent taken this was on the cards Jerome Taylor has done a fair bit of damage this morning this
00:34:51wicket was well earned he worked extremely hard on Abdul Razak and in the end an excellent result
00:34:57Razak would be gutted by this effort it's a better length it's a good length it's on the off stump and
00:35:05moving away following a number of short deliveries maybe too many short deliveries consistently but
00:35:11you can see results footwork late and a lazy and suspect because of the intimidation he's gone
00:35:16for five to eighty five or six last time he played a test match here at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore he got
00:35:23a hundred good delivery drawing the batsman on the front foot but this is how the game goes it's cost
00:35:32the ball of four runs three hundred and five for six lovely shots lovely touch again from Muhammad
00:35:56Youssef it'll beat Fidel Edwards no doubt about that there should be an oil painting of Muhammad Youssef playing
00:36:09this shot really is a trademark of his that's amazing shot that was swatted
00:36:21like a tennis shot wide of mid wicket
00:36:34and that's gone very fine should make it to the boundary and does
00:36:44and that is whacked away he's not he's not letting go anything that's short Akmal
00:36:59it just confirms your point dude that it may not turn out to be such a good move from the West Indians
00:37:08he wants to be quick he's got a slinging action so you don't expect a lot of control from this action
00:37:16you expect a lot of pace from this action
00:37:21that swatted straight back over his head
00:37:26four more to Cameron Akmal
00:37:27that's a classically put away there's not a lot of cushion for Dave Mahmoud through the offside
00:37:40over pitching that one straight away he's in a mini conference with his captain
00:37:48well he's been trying to do this Akmal get inside the ball and use the offside
00:37:54and this one was right in the slot
00:38:01Mohammed Youssef calls for the run and Kamran Akmal completes it that brings up his 50
00:38:10that should relieve him 370 for six
00:38:18superb shot that should go all the way
00:38:21such a handsome driver of the ball Kamran Akmal
00:38:29that was a real treat to watch I mean he getting himself in such a position really
00:38:34that makes things much easier for him beautifully played shot through the covers
00:38:40he's going to come back for the second and willingly given away the second run so that brings up
00:38:55the 150 from Mohammed Youssef
00:39:09deliberately played in the air what a shot that is
00:39:12does look to collar the attack Kamran Akmal
00:39:22he looks really very confident Kamran Akmal we see it hit on the up really it wasn't a
00:39:31half volley at all he just came in the line and hit it through the line and hit it really extremely hard
00:39:37nicely played it for the Yorker from Fidel Edwards and has managed to hit a boundary of it
00:39:47with a tap shot very fine on the offside 388 for six brings up the 100 runs partnership
00:39:55there he goes over the top there he goes over the top and this could be close it's just gone over
00:40:09Corey Collimo who was on the edge of the rope wasn't hit from the middle of the bat
00:40:17but it's it's six runs in the board
00:40:25what he picked it up length very quickly and he knew exactly the calling was right on the line but
00:40:31he had so much confidence
00:40:36played fine and run straight away a boundary start of a fresh session once again the beginning has
00:40:43belonged to Pakistan that boundary also gives Pakistan the 400 total stretches that lead now to 194
00:40:54just eases this one of his body Muhammad Youssef
00:41:03it's a no ball another boundary
00:41:06I can't describe this as intentional but in the end a safe option taken by
00:41:11Muhammad Youssef no slip in place
00:41:20more runs
00:41:23really did go hard at that one Kamran Akmal
00:41:30that's gone past the fielder Brian Lara tried his best to cut that out
00:41:41go straight to the fielder and it's Brian Lara who's taken the catch and Chris Gale has done so easily
00:41:55fastballers have been working hard over after over Chris Gale comes in pops an off spinner up gets a wicket
00:42:0350th test match wicket for Chris Gale for Chris Gale as well
00:42:10it's the only bold eight overs in the inning so far out of 135
00:42:16nice fluent innings from Kamran Akmal for 78 433 for seven
00:42:20Kamran Akmal has departed
00:42:21Kamran Akmal has departed
00:42:23Shahid Nazir is the new batsman
00:42:25oh his placement is getting better and better
00:42:37Hamid Youssef goes into the 190s now and he gets these hundreds and he gets them big
00:42:44Chris Gale now he's at it oh a bit of drift Ramdale is confident and the finger goes up from Ashoka
00:42:53De Silva well superb delivery from Chris Gale and Ashoka De Silva once again a brave umpire not going
00:42:59for the third umpire but this time he was right finger goes up Chris Gale has got two wickets
00:43:07he's gone for 192 and Pakistan 444 for eight umagul replaces muhammad youssef
00:43:22catch him still catch him
00:43:25Corey colomo takes the catch well it looked dodgy for a while
00:43:31Dave Mohamed has got a wicket i think it was the rungan
00:43:35and looking to hit straight back over the bowler's head
00:43:38misjudgment at first but then showed good hands
00:43:42he's walking back on a duck and just one wicket remaining now 442 to score
00:43:58the last thing you'd expect from that area but he's played that very very well
00:44:04that over after whether he read that one or not he got to the pitch of it
00:44:1930 runs now
00:44:20and make that 30 to take the field with his team
00:44:28so there you have the state of the game so far in reply to the west indies 206
00:44:33Pakistan have made 485 a lead of 279 runs
00:44:47this runs away for four
00:44:55struggling with the line here Shahid Nazeer is just a bit too wide and that's gone for four
00:45:01fine leg was quite square position again
00:45:12the last over when he made that stop and now
00:45:14he's got run out
00:45:23has come in
00:45:27getting it right beautiful shot for four
00:45:30Ram Naris Sarwan gets off the mark with a stylish boundary on the offside
00:45:38aged and gone
00:45:40takes the catch
00:45:42better length again from Umar Gul
00:45:45wasn't short enough and he does get that movement off the pitch
00:45:49you're right feet at the crease
00:45:51didn't go anywhere
00:45:53very good length
00:45:57lower in the first innings when Lara was trapped in the crease it was a
00:46:01delivery that moved a bit more but this is
00:46:04from Umar Gul
00:46:05Gail gone for 11 is 20 for two
00:46:11top scorer from the first Brian Lara got 61 score 206
00:46:19a brilliant it's actually a good delivery first up to Brian Lara
00:46:23counter attack from the great man consecutive boundaries
00:46:38that's nicely put away by him
00:46:42in his career has been found without stroke
00:46:48that's into the gap nicely struck off the back for Graham Marais
00:46:51servant
00:46:54it's uh canaria with a dive and sprint
00:47:03a great shot
00:47:05the two field is there deep on the lake side not too much of a gap between them
00:47:09it is managed to find that gap for
00:47:15good delivery a bit too high again oh no
00:47:18Ashoka De Silva has raised the finger
00:47:21well it was a great delivery no doubt about
00:47:30but probably Sarwan was quite unlucky really he was on his toes
00:47:35Sarwan actually i can understand the ball pitching within the stumps but i think hit him too high
00:47:41Sarwan as you can see is not happy he's gone for 23
00:47:47western 56 for three the edge
00:47:53there is uh Brian Lara's element
00:47:57close call to the earlier delivery has no bearing
00:48:00way to place the next ball
00:48:05great shot
00:48:07seen this before isn't it from Brian Lara
00:48:11a typical uh
00:48:12Caribbean
00:48:12the same field
00:48:21done
00:48:21yeah that he spread
00:48:23uh
00:48:23uh
00:48:24he was a
00:48:25part of
00:48:26Fidel Edwards every safety look but we've got a bad bounce Hafiz tries to
00:48:37stop it but it's gone and hit the skirting so another boundary for Brian
00:48:43Lara
00:48:46Ashoka De Silva was in two minds then he asked the fielder and was
00:48:50signaled as a boundary
00:48:56is that taken well a great attempt was made by Mohammed Hafiz now is a sharp
00:49:02operator Hafiz
00:49:06flung himself and well had this been taken it really would have dealt a severe
00:49:12blow to the West Indians he went with one hand and almost got it
00:49:20it and gone Yunus Khan accepts it gleefully
00:49:27so a joy for Shahid Nazir he had worked extremely hard to get that edge
00:49:37it's good line it's shaped away again nice little leg cut on it and he's both superbly
00:49:43throughout this match he's been probing he's got a full enough length in his ear to
00:49:47test batsman Edwards tried his best for 10 101 for 4
00:49:5432 years of age extremely good record 99 test matches for him so just one away from
00:50:01that hundred mark
00:50:04there again that Brian Lara shot where he's on the back foot
00:50:11I'm looking to play on the back foot and the ball is pitched up just times it beautifully on the front foot giving him another test match 50
00:50:18he's 49 test 50
00:50:21and it's been a really very good in
00:50:25he knows that it's very important from the studio's point of view to stay at the pitch
00:50:31and especially the national team played you know he got himself in a very good position
00:50:37it's nicely driven
00:50:40that'll go all the way
00:50:42four more to Brian Lara it's 124 for 128 for four
00:50:48well he got hold of that one
00:50:56very strong very dominant in that area Brian Lara
00:51:03this was perfectly timed
00:51:09wrong length that you cannot afford the ball to Brian Lara
00:51:15it was asking for punishment
00:51:18there's another one nicely stroked by Shivanaran Chandra Paul
00:51:25that'll go all the way as well
00:51:27a couple of serious problems that Razak is facing here
00:51:32obviously the line in the length is not right
00:51:35it's also importantly not getting any sideways movement
00:51:39this one was beautifully stroked away by Shivanaran Chandra Paul
00:51:46generated a lot of pace on that shot from pure timing
00:51:58he's giving up a few runs as well
00:52:0150 partnership comes up between Chandra Paul and Brian Lara
00:52:05well that was a loose and short delivery and he got the treatment
00:52:13very pleasant very pleasant shot from Chandra Paul
00:52:30driving against anticipated spin it's never easy but he got to the pitch
00:52:35actually waited for the ball to come to him rather than he went to the ball really
00:52:40and it was really treat to watch that
00:52:46nice shot again from Lara getting the body weight into the shot
00:52:54and a result leaking a boundary per over here over this last of three overs
00:53:00probably one of the best shot he played so far
00:53:07brilliant shot
00:53:10not quite from the middle of the bat but we'll have a look at this again
00:53:14beautiful use of the feet
00:53:16a flowing drive to the offside
00:53:20and this is what makes Brian Lara a different proposition to spinners
00:53:24not afraid to use his feet
00:53:27picked his spot
00:53:29you exactly where he wanted to hit it
00:53:33oh that's close
00:53:35it's a quicker delivery
00:53:37no says Ashoka De Silva
00:53:39couple of things that could have saved him
00:53:41whether there was an inside edge
00:53:43or whether the impact was just outside the line of the off stump
00:53:47well this looked a close thing
00:53:52and didn't see much of an inside edge there
00:54:01a lot of rotation on the ball but it doesn't spin
00:54:04missed that one that could have been easily nicked on to the wicket keeper
00:54:14but the umpire yes is called for lunch it's 188 for 4
00:54:21Brian Lara not out 88
00:54:23Shiv Narayan Chandapal not out 43
00:54:25but Lara should be very pleased
00:54:27for the moment West Indies still trailing by 91 runs
00:54:32but that man Brian Lara is not out on 88
00:54:35and he's got Shiv Narayan Chandapal for company
00:54:463 out of 3
00:54:47they've gone for the appeal
00:54:48Ashoka De Silva
00:54:49will he uphill the appeal
00:54:51knows the call from him this time
00:54:53it was kind of a delayed reaction from Omergo
00:54:58he didn't go instantly with that appeal
00:55:00yeah not a convincing appeal from Akmal either
00:55:06he did go up
00:55:10but not with assurance I don't think initially
00:55:16oh what a stroke to get to your 100
00:55:19masterful strike
00:55:22and it really has been a masterful effort from
00:55:26really a wizard
00:55:28Brian Charles Lara gets to his 33rd Test Match 100
00:55:36expect lot more from him because
00:55:38he's not going to let up
00:55:40third Test 100 versus Pakistan
00:55:43puts in two behind Sachin Tendulkar
00:55:45one behind Sunil Gavaskar
00:55:48and one ahead of Steve Waugh
00:55:55nicely clipped away by Chandra Paul
00:55:58beautiful timing
00:55:59this is going to bring his 50 up
00:56:02overhaul just inside the boundary
00:56:08can't prevent him picking up 3
00:56:10very important innings for the West Indies
00:56:13Chandra Paul goes to 50
00:56:17oh he's got the breakthrough the finger goes up from umpire Simon Toffle and that changes the complexion of things here
00:56:23Mohamed Hafiz gets the big one
00:56:38this is the breakthrough Pakistan we're looking for and Mohamed Hafiz has given Pakistan the breakthrough to watch again one little while the
00:56:52one little wider of the crease ball pitching within the stumps
00:56:55and straightening you have the ball kept lower so probably that's why Simon Toffle have given him out
00:57:02a big wicket for Pakistan

00:57:32and Pakistan right back in this
00:57:37well this bowling change working extremely well for Pakistan Dwayne Bravo caught on the crease
00:57:43when you're playing the ball deep in the crease it's important that you have some bat shown to the ball
00:57:53that ball missed the bat hit the stump hit the pads and straightforward decision in the end by Simon Toffle
00:57:59West Indies six down now for 248
00:58:04well some problems here for West Indies they've lost two quick wickets after that wonderful partnership between Chandra Paul and Brian Lara
00:58:14big shout and Dinesh Randian doesn't seem to be too upset with the decision and Kaneda's reaction is of
00:58:20at last I've got a wicket in my 27th over
00:58:27so the trick work round the wicket Canaria neat catch by shot leg fielder
00:58:32I think it's Imran Firth has picked up a neat catch an important catch
00:58:35every wicket will hurt West Indies every wicket will bring a lot of joy to Pakistan
00:58:40planting his front foot
00:58:42quite amazing I mean that replay
00:58:48showed that the ball had probably just hit the bat and nothing else
00:58:53but the batsman's reaction was one as if
00:58:56he had hit the ball of the glove or off the bat
00:59:00he's walking out quite satisfied
00:59:05that's put away nicely
00:59:16will it travel the distance it does it's a six
00:59:20and as we saw just like in the first innings
00:59:26if you give it enough air he has no problem whatsoever going over the top Dave Mohamed
00:59:33this one was flighted
00:59:35wasn't afraid to leave the crease knew which way it was turning
00:59:39and nicely stroked over long on

00:59:54West Indies trail just now but 13 runs 266 for seven
01:00:03beautifully played is a good timer of the ball
01:00:09he's a big-hearted cricketer Dave Mohamed
01:00:13you get the feeling he's just glad to be out there
01:00:16and he's enjoying every minute of it
01:00:21crunchy drive to the offside
01:00:25it's a hard new ball and that ball will win the race from Imran Farad
01:00:30and nicely struck by the left-hander
01:00:34long line it's not been a great start from Shahid Nazir another boundary
01:00:40that's gone India will this be taken
