England (332/7) beat Pakistan (331/9) by three wickets to win the ODI series 3-0

[Smudger]

15 overs they already have enough to create a package of paks fielding so far

India are much worse now a days. Drop 3-4 catches every match

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Really poor cricket from Stokes and from Pakistan

 

[kingusama92]

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Besti upon besti. Edgbaston Normally full fill Pak fans. Today has only 20% pak fans. Then they ask why????. Rubbish team

 

[Rana]

Hasan should have caught that one, but Maqsood one was difficult chance.

What was he doing 5 yards away from the boundary?

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Who dropped Stokes this time?

 

[Executioner]

What was he doing 5 yards away from the boundary?

Maybe longer boundary?

 

[Blackbradman]

Faheem will win for Pak

 

[Energy]

Lazy elegance with yet another elegant display in the field. Maqsood is a gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Rafa]

Shaheen ruined the defending of the target during the first over itself by giving away 16 runs. The bowling hasn't stabilized from that moment.

 

[jusarrived]

India are much worse now a days. Drop 3-4 catches every match

Not india bro, Kohli alone. Haha

 

[Rana]

Pakistan isnt out of this but they need a wicket

 

[Darkrai]

I'm sure Azam and Sharjeel will further improve this feilding...

 

[Rafa]

Standard one boundary per over

 

[Rana]

Maybe longer boundary?

I think he was genuinely day dreaming...poor effort

 

[Smudger]

Not india bro, Kohli alone. Haha

How many catches did they drop in Australia Test matches. And please do not talk about the result we are talking about drop catches only

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Pretty worried about our LO teams. Too many weaknesses.

 

[Ahmed216]

Faheem will win for Pak

What?

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 189 runs from 31 overs. RRR: 6.09

 

[Rana]

To his credit, i recon Shadab will get stokes

 

[Rafa]

Pakistan were 72-1 at this stage. Taking their sweet time.

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistan isnt out of this but they need a wicket

100% agree.

Lots of time left.

I think they can pull it off but it's time for the fielders to wake up. They look like they don't believe in themselves.

 

[Snowflake]

So, whose brilliant idea was it to put Maqsood at long-on for Shadab?

 

[castortroy]

England D team are going to chase this in 45 lol

 

[BDfanforever]

You gotta stop some of these balls. Fielding makes huge difference between winning and losing.

 

[Rana]

To his credit, i recon Shadab will get stokes

It was on the cards

 

[Ahmed216]

Finally the luck runs out

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Fitness & fielding levels of Pak players are questionable to say the least. Head coach should be questioned on the issue of fitness & fielding as these two aspects of the game is where a coach can really make a significant difference.

 

[Rafa]

Gone

 

[jusarrived]

How many catches did they drop in Australia Test matches. And please do not talk about the result we are talking about drop catches only

I agree our catching, especially slip catching is poor . So how does that make Paks fielding better?

 

[BDfanforever]

Stokes is OUT, tries too much.

 

[guna]

Shadab gets Stokes.

I think its all over for England.

 

[jattafridi]

Yes

 

[kingusama92]

Big wicket!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

To his credit, i recon Shadab will get stokes

Spot on !!

 

[NeVerMind]

Shadab finally gets Stokes for caught behind!

 

[Greenstorm]

Stokes has never looked comfortable against Shadab. He also took his wicket in a test match.

 

[Rafa]

You gotta stop some of these balls. Fielding makes huge difference between winning and losing.

Agree more and more stopping balls dry runs and increase pressure and invoke a faulty shot. Pakistan have been leaking runs and failing to contain runs through tight fielding.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab's been much much better

 

[Titan24]

Atlast one great all rounder takes the other one

 

[Rana]

Thanks for being a nice captain Babar

Keeping Faheem on when you need to apply pressure

 

[Titan24]

Shadab had Stokes 3 times in this match. Have gotten better of stokes in test series in 2018 as well

 

[castortroy]

Honestly think England first team would hit 500 against this bowling attack

 

[adarsh_bang]

Why would Babar keep persisting with Faheem? Terrible captaincy this
Baffling

 

[Ab Fan]

Stokes is OUT, tries too much.

What a poor knock. He should learn from the other great All-rounder of his era, SAH.

 

[ishtiaq_ctg]

Faheem Ashraf serving tasty pies in a literal sense

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

The boundaries just don't stop every SINGLE over!!

 

[NeVerMind]

Rana sahib continues by offering width to the batsman

 

[Rafa]

Faheem still busy giving boundaries just after a wicket falls. Why not being Saud from the other end ? He can't do worse than this Fat-Heem.

 

[jusarrived]

Boundary again after a wicket. How can you not admire this approach?
SC teams play such old school cricket, it's just boring to watch

 

[Local.Dada]

No offense but England playing this like net practice.

 

[Snowflake]

Yeah keep bowling that immaculate short and wide rubbish! :Faheem

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Faheem is extremely poor with the ball.

Amit Yamin wouldn't do any worse than him.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Terrible captaincy , should bring in hassan or shaheen

 

[Rana]

I feel Babar's plan is to let England keep on going with the attacking strokeplay and simply hoping the fielders will catch the odd one out

 

[Rafa]

By the time Faheem is taken off Englands target would be 50 runs less. Just bring on the best bowlers now.

 

[Rana]

I think Shadab will get Simpson too

 

[Ab Fan]

Our top order must learn from this. It may not work for England in this second string batting lineup but it works well when they have their best players playing.

Roy and Bairstow go at 50 average and 110 S/R.

Our top order goes at 60 average but 90 S/R. This always leaves us with 170-180 runs in last 20 overs.

 

[Local.Dada]

Doesn’t matter. England will get themselves out. They just seem to stand and try to hit everything. Lot more celebrations to come

 

[Snowflake]

Terrible captaincy , should bring in hassan or shaheen

Ridiculous that he's holding Hassan back

 

[guna]

Pakistan should not get Simpson out. He is a slow batsman.

 

[Snowflake]

How and why is Faheem STILL bowling after a wicket has fallen? Come on, Babar! This is BASIC STUFF!

 

[Rafa]

Don't need Simpson now get Vince instead . Simpson is new will play dot balls and increase pressure..

 

[Ismailtoca]

Either lets bring Back Hasan Ali to have a crack at Simpson or we can try Saud to see how he fares against Vince

 

[Thephenom]

I think I’ll listen to some of the best bowlers around the world when it comes to Shaheen! As for Faheem, I don’t see the point in him

 

[Rafa]

Faheem again :

Babar making sure he bowls ten overs straight and England get back into the match.

 

[guna]

England lost the steam. They will crawl to 250 all out.

 

[imshally81]

Need Saud here with shadab to dry some runs... then wicket will come automatically

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Doesn't looked good

 

[Rana]

Pakistan should not get Simpson out. He is a slow batsman.

This isn’t club cricket man

A set batsman will eventually hurt you at some point. Even an over of 15-20 odd at the death by him can be dangerous

 

[Local.Dada]

Wow didn’t expect so many English fans for a Tuesday game unless I am confusing Italian looking Pakistanis

 

[Rana]

I think Shadab will get Simpson too

Has he got him?

 

[Sir-fraz]

Hopefully rizwan has kids already he just lost his left nut lmaoo

 

[Rafa]

Gone ..

 

[Titan24]

Pakistani bowlers and fielders with the body-line strategy for Rizwan

 

[Rana]

Looks pretty plumb to me

 

[Rafa]

Problem is Gregory is up next and he's a decent batsman as seen from the PSL

 

[UzmanBeast]

Why is Rizwan still on the pitch?

These injuries can be aggravated by playing further. He should get some rest and put some ice on it.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Shadab looks like he's really worked on his bowling. Finally seeing some control. He needs to carry this form and play more domestic to keep this form. Good stuff from him.

 

[jattafridi]

5 down
