What's new

England (281 & 275) defeat Pakistan (202 & 328) by 26 runs to win the 2nd Test, win series 2-0

Nawaz is being a bit too careless against spin. I think he might fall/throw it away against Leach.
 
Bazball about to exposed .come on nawaz and shakeel do it now. England when they were 255-5 ,play most pathetic cricket to bundled out 275 all thanks to stokes brainfade .4-5 win at home on flat pitch and they think they are world beater but that's not case .
 
Leach average is misleading .he was destroyed by india but get cheap tail wicket to negotiate how pathetic he is . Anderson average looks good becouse he get 1-2 wicket with low economy rate but impact is missing here ( subcontinent condition) . Now with second new Ball when England needed him most but he is clueless even against nawaz . sometimes look at the condition rather than stats which matters most .

Not even Michael Holding, Malcom marshall could bowl well everywhere. On some surfaces batsmen have to step up. Here Stokes is expecting his bowlers to do magic on a benign pitch.
 
Just negotiate these 3-4 overs of Wood. Dont try anything silly by playing pull shots!
 
Recent times STokes has been making arrogant statements like declaring innings without even batting. He is not the one who is bowling.
 
Nawaz can be out Stokes but we don’t really have a vision as a cricket nation
 
Nawaz was on the other end as shafique pulled off a historic chase in Sri Lanka
Nawaz again on the other end as shakeel aims to pull off another historic chase
 
This wicket my pumped England but still Pakistan is ahead .its time for Agha to score 30 runs with shakeel
 
Gave wicket on nothing ball. Throwing away wickets at crucial time that too on ordinary balls is something which only Pak do.
 
Nawaz footwork is poor. He could have easily let it go. Now these two have to literally take the team home
 
Very good Test match, it’s nervy stuff for us, but the neutral fans will love this contest.
 
Unbelievable how pathetic the match awareness can be from our cricketers. Time and again, they make terrible choices on crucial moments of the game.
 
Those 36 runs of mark wood in the first innings are gonna end up costly for Pakistan as they always are
 
Nawaz had a chance to redeem himself after pathetic World Cup performances but he bottled it again.
 
Pathetic from Nawaz! Thats the only way you could have thrown it away!

Easy bro, had that shot gone for 4 to third man area, we would have loved it, his intention was good, but failed.
 
That's a beaut from Jimmy. Agha is a shooting target here.

And another. He has to go on the front foot or feebly get out
 
Pak have no bottle. Any other side would bring this home. But pak fall short on every occasion (apart from when they play Lanka)
 
I remember the famous brett Lee, kaspa partnership at Birmingham. With 3 runs to win Harmison bowled a sharp bouncer at the body. You could easily say he could have ducked or left. But instinctively fended and edged and got out. It is very easy to say things in hindsight.
 
Agha fails here then that should be it for him; should be banished from the team. He has been totally disappointing and looks like a number 8 at best. With his non-existent off-spin, he really has no business being in the side if he cant score runs.
 
saud needs to start farming the strike lol, salman looks more nervous than a debutant.
 
Nawaz had the cushion of Salman coming after him. Salman doesn't have that. May be that is playing on his mind.
 
Please be not out - BBC 5 live saying tough to call but edging towards out as no evidence of a wrong decision.
 
TV umpire is clowning :))), ball rolled on grass with the gloves around it
 
That so clearly grazed the grass! What a blind bat

Gloves were on the side but ball hit the ground...that's game, set, match and series
 
lol this team is so dumb and poor playing short balls. Literally out anytime they even attempt playing it.
 
Aleem Dar gives yet another 50-50 call in favor of opposition. On field at least.
 
Tough luck for Shakeel but in the end he played a terrible shot. A learning experience for him.
