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

[Seen Sheen]

Nawaz is being a bit too careless against spin. I think he might fall/throw it away against Leach.

 

[Devadwal]

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 .

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

 

[Asif321]

Might impressed by Saud . Terrific

 

[Seen Sheen]

Just negotiate these 3-4 overs of Wood. Dont try anything silly by playing pull shots!

 

[Rana]

What a gem of an innings by Nawaz

 

[Devadwal]

65 more to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Recent times STokes has been making arrogant statements like declaring innings without even batting. He is not the one who is bowling.

 

[Rana]

Nawaz can be out Stokes but we don’t really have a vision as a cricket nation

 

[Devadwal]

Wood strike

 

[Desi Don]

Saud Shakeel pakistan best batsman in series

 

[Rana]

Nooooooo

 

[Seen Sheen]

Pathetic from Nawaz! Thats the only way you could have thrown it away!

 

[MHN1293]

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

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very easy to get pakistani batsmen out ,bowl short and thats it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Game is still very much Pakistan's with 4 wickets in the tank.

 

[MHN1293]

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

Nvm spoke too soon

 

[Asif321]

Time for agha to show his worth

 

[Nasty Naz]

sigh Nawaz.... why did you feel the need to play the short ball at all.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Matter of time now. Salman cant play wood.

 

[Desi Don]

gone what Nawaz done

 

[Devadwal]

This wicket my pumped England but still Pakistan is ahead .its time for Agha to score 30 runs with shakeel

 

[Seen Sheen]

Now England favorite again. Bloody Nawaz. Mental midget!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Gave wicket on nothing ball. Throwing away wickets at crucial time that too on ordinary balls is something which only Pak do.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Squeaky bum time. England can wrap this up quickly

 

[JibranAnsari]

The whole leg side is packed ,even if he had time may would have been caught somewhere.

 

[Ahmed216]

Nawaz footwork is poor. He could have easily let it go. Now these two have to literally take the team home

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good knock by Nawaz. Justified the decision to send him up

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is crowd booing babar?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

This wicket my pumped England but still Pakistan is ahead .its time for Agha to score 30 runs with shakeel

No chance now. 65 is too much for long tail.

 

[Devadwal]

What a gem of an innings by Nawaz

Nazar laga di rana Sahab

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Is crowd booing babar?

Not sure about booing, but they are chanting Babar Babar !

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a slow pitch. You got all the time in the world to leave. Got strangled.

 

[IAJ]

Very good Test match, it’s nervy stuff for us, but the neutral fans will love this contest.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan get close and lose ,story have been for a long long time now.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Unbelievable how pathetic the match awareness can be from our cricketers. Time and again, they make terrible choices on crucial moments of the game.

 

[Suleiman]

Is crowd booing babar?

Won’t be surprised. He’s building a reputation of being a bottler.

 

[Mean&Green]

Those 36 runs of mark wood in the first innings are gonna end up costly for Pakistan as they always are

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nawaz had a chance to redeem himself after pathetic World Cup performances but he bottled it again.

 

[IAJ]

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nawaz had a chance to redeem himself after pathetic World Cup performances but he bottled it again.

I think he thought it was boundary scoring opportunity. But bounce got the better of him

 

[SpiritOf1903]

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

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nervous poking by salman.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Salman wont last long.

 

[AAli98]

Pak have no bottle. Any other side would bring this home. But pak fall short on every occasion (apart from when they play Lanka)

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

 

[IAJ]

Beauty from Jimmy, almost

 

[shah_1]

Salman can't bat at all

 

[Seen Sheen]

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.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shakeel will have to up his sr if we are to win.We cant win otherwise.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Shakeel now playing for himself and out!

 

[ElRaja]

saud needs to start farming the strike lol, salman looks more nervous than a debutant.

 

[Suleiman]

Oh no.

 

[IAJ]

Salman wont last long.

Very supporting fan you are

 

[JibranAnsari]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

I wish we had Shan in place of Agha. I still can't understand his role in the playing 11.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nawaz had the cushion of Salman coming after him. Salman doesn't have that. May be that is playing on his mind.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Shelled?!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Not out i think.it touched tge ground.

 

[Suleiman]

Not out, grassed the **** out of that

 

[Rana]

Ball touching the ground

Can’t be out

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Grassed lol!!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

soft signal will stay. What is it?

 

[Rana]

Surely that can’t be given out

 

[Suleiman]

Benefit of the doubt should go to batter

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Joel effing Wilson

 

[JibranAnsari]

Out

 

[Super Santi]

Please be not out - BBC 5 live saying tough to call but edging towards out as no evidence of a wrong decision.

 

[Suleiman]

TV umpire is clowning ), ball rolled on grass with the gloves around it

 

[kingusama92]

Looked like it touched the grass but it's pretty hard to call

 

[Rana]

Poor decision

He wasn’t out!

 

[jnaveen1980]

If they look for video evidence they won't get it. No way.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

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

 

[IAJ]

Seems like it touched the ground

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol this team is so dumb and poor playing short balls. Literally out anytime they even attempt playing it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

One trap and our batsmen will fall into that. Pathetic pathetic batsmanship.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Horrible decision , how is that out ?

 

[Suleiman]

Aleem Dar gives yet another 50-50 call in favor of opposition. On field at least.

 

[saeedhk]

That was not out!

 

[kingusama92]

Tough luck for Shakeel but in the end he played a terrible shot. A learning experience for him.
