New ball putting pressure on Pakistan on second morning

Inzamam just fell off a pretty good ball. He didn't play forward enough. Though I thought it was just a better ball rather than poor technique. It got the best of him. Inzy apparently even did some net practice this morning. To bad for us I guess. We didn't play aggressive enough on the first day and I feel we need runs on the board, if we're aiming to win this game. Our defensive mindset on the first day was quite defeatist. I certainly didn't think we had the upper hand after the first day.

Razzak, who I feel should not play this test match, is looking terrible. Taylor is making him look like a clown. There is absolutely no technique or anything to his style of batting.

This is amusing to watch. Malik has been getting runs, but he's been lucky. Sad how we can't play the seaming, swinging ball...Who wishes Asim Kamal was around? The good thing is that Windies are fielding badly and have already dropped two catches. If it weren't for these let-offs and their wayward bowling, we would probably be our turn to bowl soon.

Lets hope Razzak and Shoaib can last another 30 balls...

The Windies are missing out on a chance here. They just need to pitch it up and let our batsmen screw up. Jerome Taylor is bowling too short and Colleymore's line and length are off the radar this morning. I'm not saying I trust Malik and Razzak to last too much longer, but if the Windies don't start bowling properly, it could be the difference between 50 runs or a 150.
