Babar (61*) takes Pakistan to 107/2 after Abrar’s 7-114 helps restrict England to 281 all out

Why did Jamie bowl just 2 overs? Wood 4 overs and Robinson 0 overs? You still want to see what the new ball does right?

Saying them for the reverse sweep and taking in consideration thier was spin.

I think England is banking on reverse swing hence fast bowlers overs saved for now. Let see how much it reverses tomorrow

Also to give Leach a hard ball and see what he does with it.

 

[Energy]

All eyes on Babar tomorrow. Hopefully he registers a big score rather than chicken out early. These are situations to bat with personality so the opposition respects you.

You play to your strength at the end of the day. I think England missed a trick by not using Ollie early on. or persisting with Anderson a bit longer. Now ball is old. Now they have to rely on spinners.

Still doesn't explain Anderson being taken off after 2 overs especially with one wicket. He is a new ball specialist more than old ball.

Big big session tomorrow for Pakistan they need to wipe out the deficit with as many wickets remaining to really open up the Bazball mantra, remember batting last at this wicket will be lottery

 

[Farah Sohail]

Good day for Pakistan.. lets hope Babar and Saud score big hundreds tomorrow

 

[Savak]

Mark Wood will come into play when it starts to reverse and he will be very effective at 150 km/hr plus.

Pakistan have a habit of losing a wicket at rest start of sessions / Days, we can not afford that tomorrow, if we want to be in a strong position tomorrow we need to look to bat all day, that means Batsmen scoring big 100s, These nice inns of 40 or 50s arent good enough, its time players really cashed in when its really required.
