Yes, realistically it's a draw.

But after seeing Bangladesh game on the 5th day, koi umeed nahi hai pakistan ki

 

[Devadwal]

Pitch is not changing much so not a big problem to draw this test.

But they needs to bat with positive mindset instead just Play for survival.

Even if they get a lead off 150 England will definitely try chase it even if they have less than 20 overs remaining

What in the world?

We are down to the last recognized batting pair and do you really think Naseem and Shaheen are in any frame of mind to even survive a couple of deliveries tomorrow?

 

[Buffet]

Draw is unlikely, goal should be keep Eng bowlers on field as long as possible.

 

[Josh]

Agha is aggressive player and he will give plenty of catching opportunities and so will Jamal. Draw is not happening. Support your team but don't be delusional lol

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Never in their wildest dream

 

[Thephenom]

This match will be over before lunch, another embarrassing and chastening defeat on its way!

 

[Cricket Warrior]

bhai just pray they dont suffer an inning defeat. draw is out of question right now!

 

[Energy]

Salvage a draw? The premiere batsmen and the great skipper couldn't last half a session, and we're expecting No.7 and No.8 to bat 2 full sessions?

Salvage a draw? The premiere batsmen and the great skipper couldn't last half a session, and we're expecting No.7 and No.8 to bat 2 full sessions?

And even if they do bat two full sessions, England will most likely chase those 100 odd runs in 12 or 13 overs.

There is more chance of Pakistan beating India in a 50 over WC. Game will be done and dusted by lunch.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this for real ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I had already called that England would smash the living daylight out of Pakistan and they did just that.

823 runs that too in 150 overs where Pakistan managed 556 in the same.

We're going to witnessing records shattering this series.

We’re approaching the point where a tour of Pakistan for a test series is basically where you send your country’s domestic players to get some overseas experience

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abdul Razzaq & Kamran AKmal style? I doubt. England for some daft reason did not use Leach. He will target frontpad.

This team if they played in county would finish in the bottom 5.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Kookaburra ball has lost it's shine. Salman and Jamal were looking comfortable. Pitch hasn't detoriated. Pakistan can produce a miracle.

 

[Super Santi]

Unlikely, lost 1-2 wickets too many.

Best think Pakistan can do is look to occupy the crease, grind out some runs and make England earn the wickets.

Put a few more overs in the legs of the England pace bowlers.

If these 2 can somehow make it to lunch, you can dream.

Any chance Abrar bats tomorrow?

Or gets some soft runs and boost your average...

 

[Abid Z]

Agha will make a century because he’s class. The rest we don’t know.

 

[shamaan]

They need to try and bat another 50 overs.

 

[MenInG]

Agha 50*, a glint of hope...

 

[BouncerGuy]

I hope we can at least save the face here which looks quite impossible atm. just 3 wickets remaining as abrar is not gonna bat so.
