I bet we can get 2-3 more wickets in this session if Pakistan continue in this reckless fashion.

Yeah, even though Vitori has gone for a few the batsmen look happy to drive against him. As Hafeez demonstrated a minute ago, it could easily go straight to the slips. And we know from the Bangladesh Test that Vitori is perfectly capable of hitting a good line.

Dropped! Vitori gives Taylor a chance and put down!

chants of 'captaincy affecting his fielding' LOL

Its a good thing that the batsmen are playing .it gives a chance for us to strike .

Agreed. Vitori's bowling a bit straight at the moment so there's been a few easy run to the leg side, but Jarvis is looking superb at the other end.

Jarvis comes in with a maiden. I have a feeling that this series is going to belong to Jarvis .

Hafeez is making light work of this. I'm not sure why they aren't bowling outside off more. Anything straight and full will be put away...

might be relying on Ray a fair bit soon

When Jarvis finishes his spell I'd like to see Vitori given another chance. Not only for the change of ends, just to get another crack at the batsmen now that he has had a chance to re-focus. We know he can take wickets, Hafeez has just been relentless against anything slightly bad.

Edit: but I can see the benefit of taking the pace off the ball. He should get a few overs tonight for sure.

Good over by Price, he got some turn as well.

Bowlers need to get their act together. Some numpty with an average less than 30 and an SR of less than 50 is caning us all over the park.

Grrrrrrr
