Finn gone... clean bowled..

ST Finn b Sohail Khan 8 (16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Ali looking like he might run out of partners (89*)

296-9 (70.4 overs)

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm happy to see that 300 up. Runs on the board.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Kiss of death ahoy, c'mon Moeen sunshine, get yer ton up.

 

[jakarta]

300 up, thanks to middle & lower order, lots of other England Batsmen currently ordering a pint in the Last Chance Saloon...

 

[Titanic]

Moeen Ali 103* ( 140 balls, 12 fours 2 sixes)

 

[pasty]

Nice way to get to 3 figures.

300 up, thanks to middle & lower order, lots of other England Batsmen currently ordering a pint in the Last Chance Saloon...

Vince must have nearly filled up his loyalty card.


In other news ... POP!!! 6 for his century. Marvellous scenes.

 

[Durlston]

It's been a difficult day. Good recovery from 74/4. Sets it up nicely providing it stays dry.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Wow! Reaching your hundred with a six, then retaining the strike with a single off the last ball of the over. Superb from Mooen!

 

[ManOfSussex]

What a way to bring up his ton!

 

[jakarta]

That's The Way To Do It (messrs Hales & Vince)

Well played Moeen Ali...

 

[maltaseagull]

He has somewhat lost his bottle with the bat since the Indian bowler re-arranged his face a couple of years ago.

Good point!

I had forgotten about that. Sort of understandable then.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

322-9 getting out of jail now

 

[Pavilionaire]

I wish Mooen had just batted like this with Finn and hogged the strike more.

In that partnership Finn faced 16 of 22 balls, in this one Anderson has faced just 3 out of 26.

 

[Titanic]

England 328-9 (76 overs, RR4.33)

Looking forward to tomorrow at The Oval, hopefully a day in the sun, watching the Pakistan wickets tumble

 

[Pavilionaire]

5 wides, now Ali back on strike at the start of a new over. 328/9 - superb!

 

[jakarta]

Amir seems a little peeved...

 

[pasty]

England 328 all out

Pakistan to face 11 overs tonight.

 

[halbpro]

This is one hell of a recovery.

EDIT: Posted about one second too early. Still, very impressive to pull it back, and a great knock from Moeen.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

328 all out probably 20 runs or so below par.
Great knock from Moeen, has given us a chance.

Let's see what the Pakistanis can do on this track
