Bad news fcxx, the score looks just as bad no matter which site you see it in.

Both Butt and Farhat out cheaply, begs the question why Taufeeq Umer wasn't given a go.

He is in the team currently 24 of 20 balls

S Nazir was a bit disappointing but Niazi seemed to have bowled well!

Taufeeq is on fire!

97/3 stumps.

Niazi must have secured a berth. Didnt see it, but took some FC wkts, more then Sami and co ever did.

Not gooing too great for Pak. 152/5.

Letting a genuine sprayer pick up sticks.

Hmmm, Pak 221/8.

  DH Wigley 20-9-62-5 

Phurt!

As if it really counts.

Meanwhile Arafat continues to blossom at Sussex scoring runs and taking wickets. Scored 67 and has taken 3/90

Mushy 0-168 off 42 overs. Oh dear !

I hardly recognise the Pka team @ northants. Arafat should be in the squad without shadow of a doubt

I know it's a poor team. I'm just saying an even poorer bowler has just taken 5-odd sticks, including some of the upper players. Maybe I'm wrong about Wigley, just quite shocking is all...

Happened to our Yarpie sprinkler, you've just declared after our other sprinkler bowled you out. Besides it's most of your top order out there

I wouldn't call Farhat and Butt top order- top order of shite maybe

Farhat has scored a 50 in last 3 of his 4 matches! Butt is currently out of form but he too had a great series vs ENG in PAK!

Northmpton 10/2!
Sourav has come out to the middle!

In all honesty Butt is suffering from bad form and low confidence. Whereas it is different from Farhat he is playing really well but getting himself out - that is unexpected.

I would go with old is gold theory and bring back Mushy,Taufiq and Nazir too if he bowls well in 2nd inning.

Not really!
Farhat is PAK's version of C Gayle! He will always play incredible shots but he will also always make bad decisions!

Northants 36/4. Plus Ganguly injured. Nightmare. Hope he's ok.

Getting skittled. Effectively 6 down. 43/5.

woo Northam in trouble! They shouldn't have declared so early!

The paper said we were 'being kind', Kepler and Bob are good mates. Nightmare.

Are Northants deliberately playing poor to dupe the Pak selectors in picking trash like Anjum ?

I am a bit disappointed with Bilal's performance! I spoke to him about 3 years ago and he said that he had a very good season, haven't heard from him since!!

One of these guys is going to play in the 2nd test. We can hope they atleast run into a purple patch, have a careers worth of luck and then make way of a fit a firing Shoaib. God willing.

PAK need 160 to win!

160 is plenty without MoYo and Inzi for us.
