Re: Pak Vs Eng ---> 1st Test - Dubai

3.6 Aizaz Cheema to Alastair Cook, 1 run, length ball but again on the middle and leg stump, Cook works it to mid wicket

3.5 Aizaz Cheema to Alastair Cook, no run, short of length ball on the middle and leg stump, Cook hangs back and dabs it to point

3.4 Aizaz Cheema to Alastair Cook, no run, back of a length ball but slanted across wide outside off, left alone by Cook

3.3 Aizaz Cheema to Alastair Cook, no run, good length ball on leg stump, Cook just falls over as he looks to work it to mid wicket, gets hit on the pads as Cheema appeals for an LBW, Misbah at first slip does not opt to take the review as the ball was pitching well outside the line of leg stump

3.2 Aizaz Cheema to Alastair Cook, no run, back of a length delivery and it swerves away wide outside off, Cook does not bother playing at it

3.1 Aizaz Cheema to Strauss, 3 runs, good length ball but too straight on middle and leg, Strauss clips it past short leg and it rolls to deep square leg, the fielder from short leg and the fielder from fine leg converge on it but they take three easy runs

Re: Pak Vs Eng ---> 1st Test - Dubai

4.6 Umar Gul to Strauss, no run, good length ball and it straightens a tad outside off, Strauss shoulders arms

4.5 Umar Gul to Strauss, no run, loud shout for an LBW but Strauss survives, full ball on the pads, Strauss looks to flick it to the leg side and misses it, gets hit on the pads and Gul appeals for an LBW, that ball was again pitching outside the line of leg stump

4.4 Umar Gul to Strauss, no run, that is a much better ball from Gul, good length ball and it cuts away late just outside off, Strauss once again looks to poke at it and the ball goes past the outside edge

4.3 Umar Gul to Strauss, no run, back of a length delivery and it straightens close to the off stump, Strauss knows where his off stump is and he leaves it

4.2 Umar Gul to Alastair Cook, leg byes, 1 run, back of a length delivery on leg stump, Cook looks to glance it to fine leg but the ball hits the thigh guard and goes behind to the keeper, they sneak a leg bye as Adnan misses with the shy at the bowler's end

4.1 Umar Gul to Alastair Cook, no run, good length ball and it dies down as it goes past the off stump, Cook leaves it and Adnan collects it on the bounce

Mohammad Hafeez, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

[Mr.Khan]

Re: Pak Vs Eng ---> 1st Test - Dubai

5.6 Hafeez to Jonathan Trott, no run, flighted delivery that dips on Trott, he gets his bat down in time and jams it to short cover, great start by Hafeez

5.5 Hafeez to Jonathan Trott, no run, Hafeez lands this on a good length and it spins back into Trott, he whips it to short leg
Coming back to the Cook dismissal, it was too close to cut and he was cramped for room.

5.4 Hafeez to Jonathan Trott, no run, flatter delivery just outside off, Trott stays back and defends it
Jonathan Trott, right handed bat, comes to the crease

5.3 Hafeez to Alastair Cook, out Caught by Adnan Akmal!!

The Professor continues his great form. He can do no wrong here. Hafeez stays round the wicket and bowls a flatter delivery that skids through just outside off, spins away a touch from a short of length, Cook goes for the cut and gets a thick outside edge that is snapped up by Adnan, Cook kicks the ground in disgust as he trudges off. Alastair Cook c Adnan Akmal b Hafeez 3(20)

5.2 Hafeez to Alastair Cook, no run, quicker ball on the stumps, Cook defends it

5.1 Hafeez to Alastair Cook, no run, good start by the Professor, tossed up delivery drifting in on the middle and leg stump, straightens late as Cook almost plays down the wrong line, gets a slight leading edge that rolls to point

18.6 Ajmal to Strauss, out Bowled!! Ajmal gets into the act now. Strauss has been flummoxed by the length of the delivery. Ajmal pushes this delivery through with a low trajectory, the ball pitches on a length and it goes straight on, Strauss looks to pull it through mid wicket but misses it, the ball hits the off stump and Strauss has to walk back, this reminds me of the way Dilshan dismissed Strauss during the 2011 World Cup quater-final match at the Premadasa stadium. Strauss b Ajmal 19(43) [4s-1]

18.5 Ajmal to Strauss, no run, this delivery goes straight on outside off, Strauss lunges forward and drags the sweep, gets a bottom edge onto the boot

18.4 Ajmal to Strauss, no run, flatter ball around the off stump, Strauss lunges forward and defends it

18.3 Ajmal to Strauss, no run, flighted delivery on off stump, Strauss drives it to short extra cover

18.2 Ajmal to Strauss, no run, flatter ball on the off stump, Strauss stays back and blocks it solidly

18.1 Ajmal to Strauss, no run, Ajmal starts off with a flighted delivery on off stump, Strauss defends it

Saeed Ajmal, right-arm off break, comes into the attack
