Well done to Hami on getting the half-century. Would love him to go big.

Taylor struggling a bit against Junaid.

The sweep (conventional or reverse) seems to have been shelved for the time being.

Signs that BT is getting in. A four each punched down the ground off Ajma and Rehman.

And three balls later Hami almost get's hmself out with missing with a conventional sweep. Why change what's worked so far?

100 partnership up and Taylor starting to find his feet. Problem with our middle and lower order is that they need to make it a double hundred stand for us to get a decent score.

Streaky shot

They're just showing video of the pitch this morning... lots of cracks, lots. We have to make this first innings count; then we have to hope it deteriorates and deteriorates fast. I wouldn't want to be chasing last on this pitch.

Nice off drive
100 partnership up now.

It's a long way off yet, but if this partnership can bear fruit then maybe 350+ is on the cards and that would hold us in good stead for the rest of the game.

Chigs as a specialist bat? has he given up on bowling altogether or just being nurtured through a down period? he's defo worth having in the side while he gets his bowling confidence back but if hes not going to bowl again at all it's hard to see him keep a batting spot above Williams or Raza. cant think of one good reason for dropping Shingi:(

pretty good going though so far

[Jemisi]

A good knock from Hami but we really needed a ton from him.
