18.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 3 runs, clipped away through midwicket for an easy three. A confident start for Collingwood, who has some rebuilding to do now, with Cook.

19.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, cracking length delivery.

20.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 no ball

20.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 3 runs, steered through the mid-wicket are and brings England’s hundred up as Kaneria sets off in pursuit.

21.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

21.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, fires in a bouncer, but it’s too short to be threatening, and it sails over Collingwood’s head.

21.3

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

21.4

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

21.5

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 no ball, delivery kept low, surprising Collingwood who got a bottom edge on it.

23.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

23.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

23.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, nipping back but umpire Bukcnor is unmoved. Would have missed offstump by two or three inches.

23.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 2 runs, launched, a tad unconvincingly, over mid-on. Doesn’t quite get hold of it, but clears the fielder easily.

23.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, asking the question, there, with wone which darted in, but Collingwood smothers any threat.

23.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, all kinds of things going here. Did Collingwood edge it through to a clasping Akmal? (It looked like it hit his thigh) Was he stumped? (No, his foot was still in the crease) Either way he’s still here as Bucknor is uninterested.

24.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run

24.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

24.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, fired in, straight and true.

25.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, big turn from Kaneria, up the slope. Bounces on leg and then arcs round to first slip. Collingwood looks puzzled, with good reason.

25.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

25.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run

26.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, Afridi also finds some turn, pushed through on the off.

27.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, good start, drifting in the air and spun back, hits Collingwood’s pad

27.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, (no ball) FOUR, Kaneria over-steps and Collingwood pumps it down the ground, without any great power. Inzamam, at mid-on, runs after it but fumbles it on the boundary

27.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, good line, slightly too full, solid forward defence

27.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, shorter this time, Collingwood comes forward to defend

27.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, good drift into the batsman from Kaneria, left alone by Collingwood

27.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

27.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, FOUR, fine shot from Collingwood who flicks a leg-side non-turner to the midwicket boundary. Bread-and-butter shot for Collingwood.

28.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, outside his off-stump, no swing, left well alone

28.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, shorter and a touch quicker, batsman defends up on his toes. Not much swing on offer, yet, after lunch

28.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, poor delivery; short, wide and cut hard by Collingwood past gully down to the third-man boundary. Confident stroke

28.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, fuller and a smidgen straighter, forces Collingwood forward who finds a thickish outside edge, down for another four to third man. Runs coming in a hurry here

29.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, defended on the front foot

29.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, drifts this one onto Collingwood’s leg-stump, slightly quicker delivery which Collingwood tucks away for a single

30.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, kept a touch low, Collingwood squirts it off the square

33.1

33.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run

34.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 run, flicked off his legs - bread-and-butter for Collingwood

35.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, sharp turn, easily defended

35.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, comes forward to one on off-stump

35.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, FOUR, shorter and wider, fails to turn and Collingwood has enough time to rock on the back foot and cut him behind square for four

35.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, drifting into leg-stump, easily blocked

35.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

35.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, pumped back to Kaneria who parries it over his head, allowing the batsmen through for a single

36.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 run, whips it from middle through midwicket for an easy single. A “nothing” sort of delivery, still no consistency from Gul

36.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, outside off and left well alone by Collingwood, rightly so. Gul struggling with the left/right-handed combination at the crease

36.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, beauty! Absolute jaffer, Gul’s first of the match. Swings into Collingwood, squares him up, cuts away and beats him all ends up. Super ball, that.

37.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, on the back foot, Collingwood chops it into the covers

37.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 2 runs, chipped cleverly and calmly to a wide long-on. Didn't try to hit it into France

37.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, quicker ball, clever bowling, held its line a touch

37.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

37.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, again, a neat shot off the back foot - both batsmen rotating the strike with ease here

38.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, left alone outside his off stump

38.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, short and wide (again), Collingwood misses out here and crunches it hard into the ground but just for a single

38.5

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, FOUR, ah, terrific shot from Collingwood, he really timed that superbly. Short (again), wide (again) and the batsman piles into it, crunching it in front of square.

38.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 2 runs, lovely leg-side flick from the batsman to the deep midwicket boundary, well fielded

41.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, batsman smothers this with his pad

41.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, no need to play at these, Kaneria around the wicket to the right-handed Collingwood who simply gets his pad in the way

42.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, FOUR, stunning, shot of the day/match, rides the bounce and punches it off the back foot - timed to perfection. Brings up a characteristically pugnacious, gutsy fifty. Well done that man

42.3

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, eye on the ball, defends careully

42.4

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, shorter and quicker, too, Collingwood drops it to the off side and Cook calls him through

43.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, around the wicket, batsman prods it determinedly&

43.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, pushes this into the hands of silly mid-off

43.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

43.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, oops, balloons up to the close-in fielder but it’s off his pads

43.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, worked away with ease and that’s the hundred partnership (158 balls)

44.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, hustles in, a yelp from the bowler as he lets go of a bouncer and Collingwood pokes it down to third man

44.4

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, on leg-stump, Sami’s line has all but disappeared here, Collingwood chips it to mid-on

46.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run, shortish, tucked into mid-wicket

47.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run

47.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

49.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

49.4

49.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, looked to steer that through mid-wicket but snaffled by short leg.

49.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, similar delivery, similar outcome - short leg again doing the honours to save the runs.

51.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

51.2

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, pitched on off, forced a forward defensive.

51.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, a touch more room on the off, but Collingwood can’t get enough purchse on his cut shot.

51.4

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, better from Afridi who darts that one in; no spin, but a bit of drift.

51.5

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, again Afridi gets the ball to pitch in an uncomfortable area and Collingwood jams his bat down

51.6

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, forced through midwicket.

52.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run, dug out a yorker

54.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

54.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

54.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

54.4

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, FOUR, Ugly but controlled hoick square, but Collingwood won’t care about how it looked; that's four

54.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, FOUR, slightly shorter, slightly quicker but more elegant from Collingwood, who was quickly on to that.

54.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, huge appeal for an inside edge. A big noise, which turns out to be the pad – great decision from umpire Taufel; the Pakistan team were understandably appealing loudly for that one.

56.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, FOUR, another boundary from Collingwood, another pull. Kaneria dropped that short and got the treament

56.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, easy cut shot

56.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, easy cut shot

57.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, drifted in, guided behind square to bring up the 150-partnership for Collingwood and Cook. They shake hands. Bravo, chaps.

57.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

57.4

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, glided to square and the pressure England are exerting is building. An MCC member makes himself useful by moving the sightscreen for Cook. Good man.

58.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

58.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

58.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

58.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

58.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

58.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

59.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, wide of off-stump, Collingwood shimmies across and defends on the back foot

59.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, even wider, and slower, batsman not interested

59.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, wider still, although not “officially” an umpire’s wide

59.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, fuller and straighter, a touch nippier too, and Collingwood jams his bat down on it

60.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

62.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, defended without alarm, looks increasingly settled Collingwood

62.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run

62.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, 5 cuts hard into the deep, a quick single scampered as is Collingwood’s wont

63.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run

63.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, gone, out, no! Dropped! Leg-cutter, outside edge straight to Kamran Akmal – dreadful shot from Collingwood I might add – and, somehow, Akmal shelled it. Deafening silence from the captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, and not much more being said from the slips. Ooh, that’s a shocker

63.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, that’s better, a solid forward defence

63.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, dropped to the off-side

63.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 no ball, well timed by Collingwood, a no-ball too, but straight to the man at cover

63.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, kept a bit low, very low actually, almost trapped him between the knees

63.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 3 runs, intelligent cricket from Collingwood, waiting for the bad ball – which has been the story of the day, really, as far as Pakistan’s bowling goes – and he whips it through midwicket

64.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, batsman comes forward, meets the ball and dampens the spin well

64.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, straighter this time, perhaps the top-spinner, Collingwood again meets the ball with a solid bat

64.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, big appeal from Kaneria and Akmal as Collingwood inside-edges onto his pad

64.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

64.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, on middle-and-off stump, turning away a touch, defended solidly. Five dot balls so far

64.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, bah, again the maiden over is spoilt as Collingwood squirts one to the leg-side and Cook is quick to react and run through for a single

65.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, outside off-stump, left well alone - no need to play at those

65.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, wider still, left alone

65.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, Gul straightens his line, forcing the batsman to defend

65.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, wider still, this is far from inspiring from Gul – but he did at least induce Collingwood, no doubt now fed up with the wide bowling, to flail at it

65.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, classically driven along the ground but straight to the cover fielder

65.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, and it’s a maiden. Gul’s clearly trying to get the ball to reverse but it’s not quite working for him yet

66.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, Collingwood hammers it back to Kaneria who, this time, stops it

67.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 run, wide, again, and Collingwood times it to backward point who fumbles it ungraciously. Collingwood not moving his feet, though, to the short ball

68.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, neat clip off his legs to long-on

69.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, moved away slightly from the batsman, Collingwood still refusing to move his feet – perhaps wary of the nip-backer from Gul

69.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, Gul drops it short and Collingwood was remarkably quick to pounce on it, pulling it well in front of square with tremendous power for a fine four

69.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, fuller and quicker ball by Gul, one which just – at the last second – threatened to move away from Collingwood who jams his bat down effectively, albeit ungainly

69.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, an ugly jammer-downer again from Collingwood, but he kept it out and that’s all that matters

69.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, full toss, smeared straight to extra cover

69.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 2 runs, yet again it’s simply too short from Gul and Collingwood, who is so well set now, simply rocks back and cuts it past extra cover for two

71.3

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, that’s better from Sami, straighter and quicker forcing Collingwood into playing a shot

71.4

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, cut to third man, bowler lets himself down

72.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, nudged with ease into one of the many gaps in the covers

72.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

74.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

74.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

74.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 2 runs, leg-side drifter flicked, unsurprisingly, down to fine-leg

74.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, pumped back to Kaneria for a crowd catch. Or rather, it fell short, but it looked an impressive dive&

74.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

74.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, absolute ripper, a classical legbreak dipping into Collingwood and fizzing away. Beautiful bowling

76.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

76.2

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, Collingwood shimmies down the pitch to defend a non-turner

76.3

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, FOUR, down the pitch and he lofts it over mid-off, very confident shot indeed. Takes him onto 99

76.4

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, nudged on the on-side, and that’s his hundred! A gutsy, belligerent innings from 157 balls. Superb knock, digging England out of a potential cavernous hole. He raises his arms and punches the air, as well he should

76.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

77.5

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, well bowled! Good attempted yorker, touch too wide though, Collingwood jabs his bat down on it

77.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, quicker ball cramps him for room

78.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run

78.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run

79.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, shoulders arms as one shoots over off-stump

79.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

79.3

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, short and straying towards leg, Collingwood works it off his hips

80.1

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, brings up the 200-partnership

81.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, an uncertain moment for Collingwood, but he manages to land a thick inside edge on the ball

81.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, sharp bouncer, but Collingwood ducked under that without issue.

83.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, finds a hint of swing

83.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, ooh. Collingwood plays away from his body and nearly bottom edges on to the off-stump. Razzaq runs his hands through his hair; a near miss.

83.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

83.4

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, huge shout, but Bucknor not interested as it was going over the top of middle. Razzaq got that one to move right back in to Collingwood who was beaten.

83.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

83.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, forces another defensive shot.

84.5

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, no run, Collingwood kills the bounce

84.6

Danish Kaneria to Collingwood, 1 run, worked through square and the England batsmen amble a single

85.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, shortish and just outside off, Collingwood steps into the line of the ball and offers a backfoot defensive

85.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

85.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, attempted drive slapped straight into his left thigh. Ouch.

85.4

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run, nippy single into midwicket brings up England’s 300. These two have put on 212 to elevate England into a robust position

86.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, lashed through point to bring Cook onto strike

87.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

87.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run, strayed down leg and Collingwood takes the single. Could this be Cook’s moment, now? Pakistan strengthen the off-side and the slip cordon, just to make Cook wait and try to shake him.

88.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, Afridi spears that one in but Collingwood digs it out.

88.2

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

88.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, drives out through extra-cover; again giving Cook a chance for his ton.

89.4

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

89.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

89.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

91.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, well outside the offstump, Collingwood leaves alone his first ball of the day

91.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, fuller and straighter from Gul, Collingwood comes forward and defends solidly

91.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, batsman flirts with the idea of cutting this wide delivery before shouldering arms. A useful sighter. No swing or seam movement for Gul yet

91.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, Collingwood gets on top of this and, with a high left elbow, punches it straight to cover without any timing

91.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, useful delivery, the leg-cutter, passing by Collingwood’s outside edge shaping away

91.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, good end to a good over, consecutive maiden, Collingwood jams down on this shorter delivery

93.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, down the leg-side, Kamran Akmal, the wicketkeeper, collects the ball

93.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, takes the splice of Collingwood’s bat, playing it with soft hands to edge the ball between third slip and gully. No third man

93.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, straight, on middle-and-off, Collingwood jams down on it and defends

93.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, ah, good one from Gul, holds its line and Collingwood doesn’t quite move his feet. Bit of a wishy washy waft there, passes his outside edge

93.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, big shout from Gul, less so from Akmal, as the ball jags back sharply at Collingwood to rap him on his pads. Umpire Steve Bucknor shakes his head

93.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, and Gul lets himself down here, overpitching and drifting down the leg-side, Collingwood flicks it confidently past long-on for an easy boundary. Super shot, that.

95.1

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, oh super shot from Collingwood, outstanding cut shot right on top of the bounce, hammered through point

95.2

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run

95.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, rubbish from Gul, too full and drifting down leg-side. You can’t bowl there. Collingwood’s bread-and-butter, milking it through midwicket and timing it superbly. Lovely shot that.

95.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run

95.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, yikes, moves down the slope and almost cuts Collingwood in half, raps him on the pads

95.6

Umar Gul to Collingwood, FOUR, too easy for Collingwood, short and wide and he pounces on it to send it rocketing to the extra-cover fence

97.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, defended off the front foot

97.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, left alone

97.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 run, attempted yorker and a good one, but Collingwood digs it out and calls Bell through for a well-run single

98.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

99.3

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, banana-movement, swings back into Collingwood before moving away from Kamran Akmal, the wicketkeeper. Breezy day, perhaps the wind is affecting their lines.

99.4

Umar Gul to Collingwood, no run, now then, pitches this one well up to the batsman and drifts it down leg, before it straightens right at the last minute. Touch of reverse swing? Far too early for that, surely.

99.5

Umar Gul to Collingwood, 1 run, punches this down to third man

100.1

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, how’s that? Gone surely, no – huge appeal from Sami and the wicketkeeper. Collingwood edges it behind and, for some reason, Simon Taufel turns it down. That, frankly, was a dreadful decision and Collingwood survives. Inzamam-ul-Haq is currently chewing on his fingernails, and who can blame him?

100.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run

100.3

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 3 runs, nudged through midwicket

101.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, short and wide and cut powerfully but straight to the deep extra-cover fielder. Bit of a loosener from Afridi

101.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, poked without power to mid-off

101.4

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, FOUR, miles too short and he climbs into it, walloping it off the toe-end of the bat over midwicket for a crunching boundary

101.5

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, FOUR, same again from Collingwood, almost a mirror of the previous ball, but hit with greater timing. Why isn’t Kaneria bowling?

101.6

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, oh hello! That’s a bit close, no, turned down by Bucknor. Quicker ball from Afridi, raps Collingwood on the pads, perhaps going down leg. Lucky

102.2

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, 1 run, driven off the back foot

102.5

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, no run, too wide, oh come on attack the stumps

102.6

Mohammad Sami to Collingwood, FOUR, better ball, fuller, but this time it’s too full and Collingwood punches it down the ground for four. Really well timed

103.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

103.4

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

103.5

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, wrists whirling, Afridi puts that on a good length

103.6

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, Collingwood hits that back to the bowler and Afridi takes a casual mock-shy at the stumps without actually releasing the ball. There’s the odd ironic cheer in the crowd for it, but maybe they’re just bored. Time for them, and everyone else, to tuck into their first, or second, beverage of the day anyway – because that’s drinks.

104.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, probing around off-stump again, but Collingwood removes his bat early for the leave

104.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, a touch of the Trescothicks there as Collingwood’s leaden feet stay rooted to the crease as he attempts, and fails to time, a backfoot drive

105.5

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, Afridi racing through his over here

105.6

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, worked to leg and they scamper a quick run.

106.1

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, nipped back but pitched outside the line. Big shout, but will get nothing for that.

106.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, Razzaq keeping Collingwood quiet here, as the batsman searches for his 150

106.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 1 run, an inside edge tumbles to fine leg and helps Collingwood to his 150.

107.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, on the button, defensive shot results

107.2

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

107.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, strayed down leg and paid the price, albeit a small one, of a single

108.4

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

108.5

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run

108.6

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, 3 runs, another one drifted in, but it’s picked up and straight-driven towards the boundary where a sleek one-two on the boundary gets the ball back sharpish.

109.1

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

109.2

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, the batsmen think about a single as the ball drops into the midwicket area, but a big call of “No” soon puts paid to that idea

109.3

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run, well beaten by the height, and the ball drifts past the outside edge. Totally misread there by Collingwood, who tried to work it to leg.

109.4

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, 1 run, squirted to leg

109.6

Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, no run

110.2

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, no run, ball shoots through at shoulder height, but down the channel outside off; Collingwood isn’t tempted

110.3

Abdul Razzaq to Collingwood, FOUR, huge outside edge flies through the vacant second slip area and on for four.

110.4

126.1
