England finish Day 2 on 92/4 in response to Pakistan’s first-innings total of 326

[Major]

No need to bring in spin unless its the final over. Cuase root is just defending so keep pace on. Let abbas bowl another than bring shaheen from there

 

[Usman Chadda]

Oh.thanks mate

So like what stokes was doing?

Yep. Abbas getting him in that manner was made more special with how Stokes was pushing himself outside the crease.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pope playing like ian bell

 

[Yk313]

Yasir is in - man, please let there be turn and bounce.

 

[castortroy]

Yasir shah better do something

For me he has been washed up for a while

 

[castortroy]

Think Warne has forgotten that Yasir Shah doesn't actually spin the ball

 

[Major]

Bad ball

 

[taqi]

before close need one more wicket two will be bonus

 

[topspin]

Many Indians didn't watch it live when our team bowled in 90s why would you?

Because I want to learn about India’s evolution of their pace bowling to what it has become now.

 

[Mesozoic]

Bad field set for Yasir.

 

[sweep_shot]

40/3.

Around 20 overs are left. Not sure if they can finish all overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yasir needs to bowl with control here.

 

[Justcrazy]

28 runs partnership so far.

 

[Fahdi]

Naseem seems to be bowling a bit too straight. Should look to target that 4-5th stump line a bit more.

 

[watson367]

come on yasir

 

[uberkoen]

Bring Warne on for commentary please

 

[saeed5646]

Seems like yasir is not serious about his fitness look at his belly

 

[Rajdeep]

What a poor batting by Root. He is definitely not the same batsman he was couple of years ago.

 

[angrypathan]

Beauty

 

[Major]

Its spinning boyss day 2

 

[JaDed]

Because I want to learn about India’s evolution of their pace bowling to what it has become now.

Lol It's based on economy,better management and selection of players from Tier-2,Tier 3 still long way to go.

 

[King_Kohli]

wowwwwww..that turn from Yasir

 

[castortroy]

Yasir always bowls to full

 

[Titan24]

Thats some turn

 

[angrypathan]

Full toss, freebie

 

[Ahmed216]

Why is naseem running in so slowly?? Isnt he?

 

[Yk313]

This guy needs to hold and take wickets. Shadab will be expensive and Naseem’s going to be tad expensive. Come on YS.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Garbage 1st over from yasir.

 

[Greenstorm]

Pope is good.

 

[Major]

Wicket is spinning on day 2. Pakistan is wonning this

 

[sindhiboy]

Yasir is actually bowling well. Bigger surprise than shan scoring 150

 

[Saj]

Big leg break followed by a full toss.

Yasir Shah's bowling of late in 2 deliveries.

 

[castortroy]

Naseem has been bowling too full

No point having pace if you can't move it

 

[King_Kohli]

What a poor batting by Root. He is definitely not the same batsman he was couple of years ago.

Other side 22 years old kid Pope playing very well.

 

[Titan24]

Yasir needs to sort out his length

 

[watson367]

Pope looking solid

 

[Amjid Javed]

Starting to give easy runs away now.

 

[sweep_shot]

49/3.

England ideally would want to end day at around 75/3.

 

[castortroy]

Naseem not doing much with the ball here

 

[Fahdi]

Again wrong line gives away the single to the leg side. Come on Naseem work that line and length

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Naseem consistently bowling 144ks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

49/3.

England ideally would want to end day at around 75/3.

Ideally it will be 75/5

 

[Major]

If yasir turns it more. Bring shadab with a first ball googly

 

[Amjid Javed]

Paticence is key, dry up runs and wickets will come.

 

[Mueez]

If yasir turns it more. Bring shadab with a first ball googly

Exactly. Shadab needs to use his googly!

 

[castortroy]

Trash bowling by Yasir

 

[Fahdi]

Come on Yasir, what's with the half track pies

 

[ARK Rafay]

Naseem not doing much with the ball here

2 questions here arises. Naseem Shah is young. And if he's picked for Pakistan side he must have had his skills in his game. If not he shouldn't have been picked for Pakistan. This just suggests that Naseem is the 3rd best test pacer in Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Need to bring the batsmen forward.

Rubbish from yasir

 

[sweep_shot]

Another boundary.

Yasir is leaking serious runs.

54/3.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Yasir is awful.zafar would have been good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get yasir off please, utter garbage

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir is a spent force

 

[ahmed16]

This guy Ollie Pope look likes the real deal, averaging 57 in 40 first class games, good technique and looks unfazed by the occasion. Another Babar Azam in the making.

 

[watson367]

Yasir releasing the pressure for England

 

[neonoir]

Yasir bowling garbage

 

[Yk313]

Other side 22 years old kid Pope playing very well.

Yup, Pope’s come to the party today.

 

[Major]

Yasir bowling bad

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yasir bowling same rubbish he did here in 2016.

 

[castortroy]

No consistency in Yasir bowling anymore

 

[sweep_shot]

Pope is being very impressive. He reminds me of Ian Bell.

Good technique.

 

[Yk313]

YS is the only guy who after seeing a few rip outside off would try leg stump full tosses.

 

[shamaan]

3 good bowls 3 bad bowls sort it out

 

[Kashur_Kalkharab]

Yasir leaks runs as if it hardly matters, bowling trash. Bring in shadab.

 

[Amjid Javed]

38/0 in last 10 overs

Poor from pakistan

 

[Mueez]

Pakistan would like to get 80-100 runs lead - what do you guys think is an ideal lead?

 

[sweep_shot]

Yasir Shah's figure: 2-0-16-0.

Pressure is going off.

 

[Major]

This guy Ollie Pope look likes the real deal, averaging 57 in 40 first class games, good technique and looks unfazed by the occasion. Another Babar Azam in the making.

But he hasnt face quality spinners. He will most probably fall to yasir or shadab

 

[Robert]

What a poor batting by Root. He is definitely not the same batsman he was couple of years ago.

He's still in though. One can bat ugly but get runs - Atherton and Collingwood were the masters at this.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan would like to get 80-100 runs lead - what do you guys think is an ideal lead?

10 runs

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan would like to get 80-100 runs lead - what do you guys think is an ideal lead?

100 should be good and potentially decisive.

 

[Mueez]

I think we need Shaheen to bowl an over or two.

 

[Titan24]

Shadab telling the veteran Yasir where to ball as Yasir has been all over the place

 

[watson367]

You guys think Naseem's action puts a lot of stress on his back?

 

[sindhiboy]

Yasir will score a double century with the ball and bring eng right back into the game

 

[Mueez]

10 runs

You are in a funny mood today, aren’t you )

 

[TeamPak95]

Not a good start for Yasir. Not holding his end means pressure is on Naseem to produce.

 

[ARK Rafay]

You guys think Naseem's action puts a lot of stress on his back?

Of course. He already had his back fractured

 

[Yk313]

Picture of Misbah explaining something to Mushi and Fawad Alam. Think Fawad will come with a message carrying drinks.

 

[Mueez]

100 should be good and potentially decisive.

Yeah, need to bowl well though.
