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

[marlonbrowndo]

Yasir is a very wristy and stylish batsman

 

[Yk313]

Watch the dressing room applaud this. Man can a few more shift the momentum.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shot yasir 6

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir Shah innings here is probably more vital than Shadab 45 in the first innings. Yasir also did his job with the ball.

Specialists over fake all rounders every single day of the week.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Yasir shah returning the favours

 

[Titan24]

The kind of momentum Pak needed. Yasir has been absolute beauty in this match till now hopefully can perform with the bowl as well.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Well played Yasir

 

[castortroy]

He didn't need to swing at every delivery

 

[Mir jibran]

Did his job tbh

 

[Yk313]

OK, now sensible. Easy single hopefully.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Well it didn't last long.But he's done enough

 

[Hasan123]

Abbas and Naseem please get us to 270.

 

[Manager102]

Good contribution by Yasir before that wicket

 

[uberkoen]

A bit silly that. He did well but there was no need for that shot. It’s the fourth delivery look for a single.

 

[Markhor]

The Swabi Kohli with some useful runs.

 

[uberkoen]

Can the last pair add another 10-15 runs?

 

[Yk313]

Abbas and Naseem please get us to 270.

Hopefully.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If these 2 can just make 5 more. I know that’s asking too much from them but still

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yasir gone.

Lead 265.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

He scored some very crucial runs.

 

[Major]

good cameo

 

[castortroy]

Another wicket thrown away

 

[Titan24]

Yasir has done is job to give bit of a shock to Eng in the morning

 

[Green Patriot]

Yasir did his job.

 

[Omer2002]

As i said pretty flat wicket ..we need the pitch to spin big time

 

[Mueez]

Yasir has won the match!

 

[SensiblePakFan]

England have lost this already lmao.

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully.

Naseem done the job first ball lol.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wow Naseem what a shot.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England getting hammered

 

[Yk313]

Yasir has done is job to give bit of a shock to Eng in the morning

Exactly. Five more would make it psychological. Let’s see.

 

[Smudger]

Another wicket thrown away

Oh dear

 

[hb787]

And now naseem. Amazing

 

[Hasan123]

Pakistan will win this game. Very confident now.

 

[uberkoen]

4!!! Hoping for another 10 from these two

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Now this should be more than enough.

 

[Yk313]

Shoottttttt

 

[QalandarFan]

I wanted to get to 275 somehow and seems we’ll get there!

 

[ARK Rafay]

269. Already better than what i imagined. Wow

 

[Amjid Javed]

Shot of the inns by naseem for 4

 

[Titan24]

Yasir Shah innings here is probably more vital than Shadab 45 in the first innings. Yasir also did his job with the ball.

Specialists over fake all rounders every single day of the week.

You can definitely say its more important but, remember when Shadab made a cruical partnership too when Pak was 170 odd for 5.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

England feeling the heat.

 

[QalandarFan]

What a swing

 

[castortroy]

Don't have to swing at everything

 

[Hasan123]

Abbas is capable of hanging around. Still trying to work out what type of batter Naseem is .

 

[Major]

abbas looks like a grandpa in the helmet and fully kitted

 

[Yk313]

Hahaah Pakistan are making a fist of this

 

[Mir jibran]

Thank you jofra

 

[Mueez]

This is positive cricket by Pakistan!

England feeling the heat.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Another 4 yeah I m loving this

 

[neonoir]

Somehow get the lead to 280 would be a match winner

 

[uberkoen]

Not sure what that was but will take the 4! 276 lead.

 

[Hasan123]

I don't think England expected this type of attack.

 

[GreenKhan]

Can’t believe we have added 30 runs in 4 overs !! 277 needed Alhamdulliah.

 

[QalandarFan]

more runs!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

32 very very useful runs

 

[Amirforpresident]

It’s obvious brother he has the Pathan genes afterall

 

[Titan24]

This should be the default way of playing for no 7 onwards anyways, no point in sticking around and contributing nothing like they did in the first innings.

 

[Yk313]

Wow best batting

 

[Hasan123]

Should not have thrown it away like that. The longer England would have been out there the more they would have doubted themselves.

Confident we have enough anyway.

 

[QalandarFan]

Target of 277, gonna need to bowl well. Root, Stokes, and Pope will be the big wickets.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 leg byes

 

[uberkoen]

Gone. We have a good lead on the board. 32 runs scored this morning. We are in a good position. It’s up to the bowlers now

 

[Executioner]

That was quite entertaining

 

[castortroy]

OK seriously there was no need to swing at everything

We must be the only team in world cricket who have 3 number 11 in the batting order

 

[DandyFellow]

We have to remember whatever we scored England has to score 100 more and it is not easy in 4th innings. PAKISTAN to win In sha Allah. We wanted around 200 we are nearly there.

 

[Major]

they did their job

 

[Amirforpresident]

abbas looks like a grandpa in the helmet and fully kitted

His head is really small

 

[Omer2002]

You got ur wish lets see what happens now..yasir shah was top scorer wow

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Chalo koi na! This is more than enough.

 

[Executioner]

277 target

Definitely Pakistan favourites for this

 

[Yk313]

OK, now let’s what happens. Roller and all.

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan are winning this one - I’m pretty sure.

 

[Titan24]

32 runs contribution, excellent stuff. Just need to put in pressure with the ball now

 

[90MPH]

277 is a very stiff target for England.

This would be difficult on a good wicket.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

If they had played a bit more sensibly this lead should have been 320.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Very rare thing this. Pakistan has come with a plan.

 

[Smudger]

This should be the default way of playing for no 7 onwards anyways, no point in sticking around and contributing nothing like they did in the first innings.

They did contribute Shan was batting. They supported him

 

[hb787]

Roller on the pitch

 

[Yk313]

Naseem done the job first ball lol.

Hahha yes sir
