England beat Pakistan by 3 wickets in the first Test at Manchester in a close encounter

[Titan24]

Yasir staring buttler like no tmw

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Butler and Woakes save their best for Pakistan. Must not over attack.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Pakistan need to think cleverly and need to move on from Misbah leeches such as azhar and asad. Its high time we invest in imam at 3 and harris sohail at 5 and haider ali at 6.

 

[castortroy]

Better not be butler day

 

[IcedCoffee]

Did Mamoon predict Stokes to have a masterclass?

People put way too much emphasis on this forum on what a random poster thinks especially one who's overly biased and negative. Some may say even a glorifed instigator.

But as another poster said, Stokes would have struggled to survive YS from the rough.

 

[Major]

Does Azhar have faith in Shadab as a bowler?

There hasnt been need for him as of yet.

Azhar has been attacking with other bowlers. The pacers all have applied pressure. You bring in shadab when the pacers dont look threatning

Our pacers have been great, they bowled well that we didnt need a fifth bowler

 

[AdamM97]

Shah gee has turned the game around for Pak.

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen has realized he needs to rise upto the occasion

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen doesn't really use the short ball a lot for someone with his height.

 

[Yk313]

Maaaan, come on one more boys, just pleaaaase.

 

[obaidshariq]

Mamoo is playing hide and seek. More hiding than seeking atmo though

 

[Yk313]

Shaheen has realized he needs to rise upto the occasion

Yup, body language in this spell looks on. Hope he gets one here.

 

[Cricketfan2016]

Abbas should be bowl he is more accurate

Harris sohail to naazuk mazaaj hai buhat..nakhray hee nahin khatam hote

 

[Syed1]

Need these two then game is won

Its always good to attack leggie in test cricket. Something Kevin peterson and Inzamam was good at never allowed spinner to settled. Stokes need to work on that

 

[castortroy]

That was unplayable

 

[Yk313]

Zaaabardast SSA

 

[Hasan123]

That was unplayable. ) ) )

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Crucial partnership this.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Unreal delivery to get Pope

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wow wow wow.. Tbis wicket is a ki!ling machine

 

[asadee]

There is no weak link like Bess in our attack

 

[shamaan]

That's what height does extra bounce get in shaheen game done and dusted

 

[KhanPredator]

That bounce oof

 

[Hasan123]

Game is finished. Pakistan will win.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need butler and pope out in next hour or so. Game in balance.

 

[Energy]

Have to give it to the bowlers for coming back in the game after England's solid start. Dil Dil Pakistan.

 

[MMHS]

Most likely Poms won’t cross PAKs second innings

 

[Major]

I feel sorry for pope.
Both innings he got unplayable deliveries

 

[Mueez]

What a ball!

 

[KhanPredator]

Couldn't do anything about that

 

[AdamM97]

Back in business now!

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen has realized he needs to rise upto the occasion

As I was saying... one can clearly see the zip from him in this session.

 

[imshally81]

Jaffa by Afridi..

 

[ARK Rafay]

Both Woakes and Buttler will play attacking Cricket and looking to drive it away. It is important that we don't let this partnership form. One more wicket and the game is in our hands completely. If the target goes below 3 figures the physiological pressure will be on Pakistan as well.

 

[Aviator]

Tailenders are gone.... Now come England's real batting..

 

[Yk313]

Have to give it to the bowlers for coming back in the game after England's solid start. Dil Dil Pakistan.

Yup. Very competitive total given the pitch though, but we do need to execute plans and captain well. Great bowling changes by AA.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wow Shaheen Shah rising up to the occasion here.

There for sure is something about the mental aspect in the fourth innings. England were having it good and suddenly yasir produces something and they have started to feel the heat.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shaheen what a find for Pakistan.

 

[Syed1]

Need butler and pope out in next hour or so. Game in balance.

Pope gone

 

[Titan24]

But of course 25 years old Archer is more talented

I am happy as far as our young pacers are taking wickets despite them struggling with talent

 

[Markhor]

Pope will be a very good Test batsman, not much you can do about those.

Pakistan on course.

 

[Yk313]

Tailenders are gone.... Now come England's real batting..

Lol. They will swing soon, I feel.

 

[Major]

Tailenders are gone.... Now come England's real batting..

[imshally81]

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

 

[castortroy]

If your not going bowl Shadab just replace him with a batter next test

 

[nextover666666]

Afridi strikes and it's not shahid but tm young beauty Shaheen shah Afridi what a ball

 

[Titan24]

England will hope to survive and pray for rain maybe

 

[Yk313]

When NS went off the field, Bumble said he may be injured. Good to see him back on.

 

[PakPremi]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] you deserve the humiliation.

As I said he has also been wrong mamy times.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pope gone

Just need butler now.

 

[Manunited18]

To many wrist splitters here, it's obvious once the heavy roles wears off then it would be very difficult like i said yesterday.

 

[castortroy]

Butler is going to attack here

 

[Hasan123]

Buttler is going to look attack.

 

[Markhor]

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Said Pakistan have no chance in Tests outside London.

Where's this match taking place - Jupiter ?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Buttler in ODI mode now. he has realized its either quick runs or bust.

 

[obaidshariq]

Mamooooo come out of your shell even if it is to say "this is a one off aka fluke"

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Said Pakistan have no chance in Tests outside London.

Where's this match taking place - Jupiter ?

It's a fluke remember .

 

[Titan24]

Pope will be a very good Test batsman, not much you can do about those.

Pakistan on course.

Definitely. I said even before the Eng squad thread before WI series he is the best middle order find for Eng since Root.

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Said Pakistan have no chance in Tests outside London.

Where's this match taking place - Jupiter ?

He will say it is all because of the toss.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

I feel sorry for pope.
Both innings he got unplayable deliveries

Ikr. Fine batsman. Brute of a ball both times. Think Starc v Shafiq Brisbane 2016/17.

This attack has no let-up. No weak links.

 

[Yk313]

Don’t mind the angle. Hope Buttler top edges out to long leg or someone.

 

[topspin]

As he's my favourite player in the side it was great to see Shaheen get that wicket. I have yearned for a tall pacer to bounce out a batsman in the manner that he did.

 

[Syed1]

You guys give too much importance to Mamoon's opinion. He is wrong 95% of the time.

 

[tyron_woodley]

wah wah. Ollie pope genius. The next Kevin Pietersen. haha. yea how about no. Well done pakistan.

Anyway the ability to play a good disguised bouncer that is utilized sparingly is a glaring weakness in almost all batsmen from SENA.

 

[MenInG]

Do you guys here Dil Dil Pakistan being played somewhere in the distance.

 

[Hasan123]

Said Pakistan have no chance in Tests outside London.

Where's this match taking place - Jupiter ?

His excuse will be England played poorly. Root had a bad game. The umpire's call could have gone England's way.

He always has excuses for India and England. He never says they were out played and there is no excuse.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Just need to get Butler on. Get Shadab on man, give Yasir a break.

 

[Markhor]

Somebody is playing Dil Dil Pakistan on an instrument outside the stadium...or are my ears deceiving me ?

 

[castortroy]

Man akram has got such an annoying commentry voice

 

[Titan24]

Pak should keep on going and finish it off today

 

[castortroy]

What Shadab actually played as a batsman here

 

[Hasan123]

As I said he has also been wrong mamy times.

I am only having some banter.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

What did I say yesterday. The sort of pitch where its very difficult to get in get settled. One wicket brings two and so on. Besides 4th innings pressure is a proven factor.

 

[Major]

His excuse will be England played poorly. Root had a bad game. The umpire's call could have gone England's way.

He always has excuses for India and England. He never says they were out played and there is no excuse.

So what man. Its his opinion.

Would you like if everyone just agreed here?

 

[Hasan123]

Shaheen getting some bounce.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Shaheen is bowling quicker now.Consistenly bowling 139ks

 

[Major]

Man akram has got such an annoying commentry voice

Waitinf for
Back in my days

 

[Titan24]

Shaheen and Naseem have been really good with the old ball in last 6 months in test cricket
