Ajmal to Strauss, out Bowled!! Ajmal gets into the act now. Strauss has been flummoxed by the length of the delivery. Ajmal pushes this delivery through with a low trajectory, the ball pitches on a length and it goes straight on, Strauss looks to pull it through mid wicket but misses it, the ball hits the off stump and Strauss has to walk back, this reminds me of the way Dilshan dismissed Strauss during the 2011 World Cup quater-final match at the Premadasa stadium. Strauss b Ajmal 19(43) [4s-1]

20.1 Ajmal to Ian Bell, out Caught by Adnan Akmal!! The Master of the Doosra is on a roll here. Ajmal is on a hat-trick here. He bowls this doosra with a bit more rip, it breaks away just outside off as Bell plays down the wrong line, the thin edge is snapped up by Adnan and Ajmal cannot contain his delight, this is brilliant stuff from Pakistan. Ian Bell c Adnan Akmal b Ajmal 0(1)
Ajmal to Ian Bell, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

An excellent session for Pakistan. Hafeez started the rot by sending back Cook. Cheema accounted for Trott as Pakistan maintained the pressure. Ajmal was outstanding as he ran through the middle order. His dismissals of Bell and Pietersen was outstanding. He has not yet unfurled the Teesra but England are having trouble reading his doosra and the off-spinner. England's batsmen have looked clueless and they are already on the back foot. Join us after 40 minutes for the second session.
