England vs Pakistan, 1st Test at London, Jul 13 2006 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So, this first Test draws to a close, quite literally, with England failing to make the breakthroughs they needed and Pakistan deciding they weren't interested in chasing their mammoth target. Thanks for joining us; we've enjoyed bringing the commentary to you, hope you've had fun. Tune in again next Thursday when the series resumes at Old Trafford and until then, it's goodbye!
flighted right in there at his toes
pitched on leg and Inzamam moves across to drive that through the off-side. Good shot and cheeky running
that one pitches out leg and there are cries of Catch it
good pressure - for what it's worth - from Panesar who forces another forward defensive
Inzamam makes sure to defend
shorter ball, kept low and surprised the batsman. He moved onto his backfoot, anticipating the higher bounce but, in the end, he was lucky that the ball went over the outside edge. Good ball to end the over
speared in at yorker length, but dug out much to Pluketts anguish
good line and length; equally good defensive shot
full and on off-stump; unconvincing shot but somehow gets bat on ball and a thick edge runs away through fine leg
straight ball; defensive push
swishes an attempted cut and misses completely ball goes over the edge to cries of Ooh
more defending
any danger crushed by a defensive shot
rips that one past the outside edge; big turn, pitching on leg and moving way past the off-stump
goes over the wicket and thats defended
walks into a cover-drive
sails through down the off-side line; harmless enough
stands up and fends a rising delivery down through third man off the backfoot; a deliberate shot, well played
