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

[sweep_shot]

58/3.

Recovery continues.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Garbage frm yasir as usual

 

[Kashur_Kalkharab]

We just need a wicket otherwise this partnership is looking threatening, especially pope removing all the pressure from root as well.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan need 1 more wkt before close today

 

[Titan24]

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

As Holding told he roates full body so not that much. He had a back injury earlier in his career and I think his action was changed a little bit

 

[Matty]

Garbage 1st over from yasir.

How did you like the second over mate?

 

[Yk313]

That jaggggged back

 

[King_Kohli]

Pope playing like ian bell

Yeah..with better foot work

 

[Amjid Javed]

Better over from naseem.

 

[Major]

I dont think holding is that much impressed by naseem

 

[Fahdi]

Finally a consistent line from Naseem and that was quite the over

 

[Kashur_Kalkharab]

Stop the scoring rate.... Let them work hard.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Naseem not looking threatening. Warne started of Praisng Yasir fr his record but yasir fails to deliver.

 

[ahmed16]

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

Yes, enjoy Naseem Shah while he lasts, he'll most likely be another Shoaib Akhtar...not in terms of attitude but injuries. He's young atm, as he gets older he's going to have lower back problems.

 

[uberkoen]

That last ball was brilliant

 

[JibranAnsari]

Naseem shah needs to bowl full or tsrget the ribcage.

 

[sindhiboy]

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

 

[Amjid Javed]

How did you like the second over mate?

Utter filth!

 

[Mueez]

Pitch is already breaking up.

Two spinners with a target around 250-280 would mean Pakistan can win this one.

 

[castortroy]

Same trash by Yasir. Either too short or consistently too full

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Naseem has a lot to learn tbh. He need to bowl a threatening line and length. No point bowling fast when your not bowling the right length

 

[sweep_shot]

Azhar is still bowling Yasir!

Why not try Shadab?

 

[castortroy]

Pitch is already breaking up.

Two spinners with a target around 250-280 would mean Pakistan can win this one.

Shadab is a one day spinner

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yasir letting england back into game here.

 

[Matty]

Utter filth!

)

 

[Major]

Whens drinks?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pitch is already breaking up.

Two spinners with a target around 250-280 would mean Pakistan can win this one.

The way yasir is bowling he will be no threat at all.

 

[watson367]

How did you like the second over mate?

How did you like the ball to stokes?

 

[castortroy]

Take him off ***

 

[Usman Chadda]

Naseem has a lot to learn tbh. He need to bowl a threatening line and length. No point bowling fast when your not bowling the right length

He will learn. He is bowling very well at the moment, just needs to stick to a length.

 

[sweep_shot]

15 more overs are left after this.

62/3.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Yasir is so useless.Kick him out already.

 

[Major]

I think its better to replace yasir with shadab here maybe. But shadab also misses hia length

 

[Yk313]

Fluke wicket lol

 

[majiz]

Naseem not looking threatening.r.

No idea which game you are watching

 

[uberkoen]

Is there something about Misbah’s captaincy that Yasir Shah excelled under? He seems so flat and uninspired playing under Azhar Ali so far.

 

[shamaan]

Yes yasir get in

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL. Root is even more useless than Yasir.

 

[Mueez]

Yasirrrrrrrr

 

[Fahdi]

Root gone!

A bit of misjudgement from Root I'd say but credit for the changeup to Yasir

 

[Titan24]

Yasir testing the fitness of pacers on the boundary lines

 

[Major]

Yasir gets roott

 

[uberkoen]

Shah strikes!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Relief. Root would've gone on to score big if he had survived today.

 

[Robert]

Ooops, really in the mire now....

 

[castortroy]

How did he fluke that

 

[watson367]

Out

 

[neonoir]

Yasir got him!!!!!

 

[Yk313]

Dare I dream? If we get Buttler sahab early, then game on properly.

 

[Syed1]

Chal NIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Major]

Credit to misbah?

 

[Titan24]

Atlast

 

[shamaan]

Fluke wicket lol

Minor

 

[JibranAnsari]

This should give confidence to yasir.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Yesss.

 

[Titan24]

How did he fluke that

The way he fluked 200+ wickets I guess.

 

[Inswing]

The big fish gone

 

[watson367]

Hopefully buttler bats like the way he keeps

 

[Major]

Good keeping by rizwan

 

[Mueez]

Hopefully buttler bats like the way he keeps

He’s a walking wicket on this pitch

 

[Yk313]

Minor

I know, I know. I was the first one out of my chair (I know I am a hypocrite).

But I think YS lulls batsmen into a (false?) sense of security by spraying it all over and they start playing shots.

 

[Titan24]

Day just needs a hatrick from Naseem to end

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

Pakistan have gotten the big fish.

 

[shamaan]

I know, I know. I was the first one out of my chair (I know I am a hypocrite).

But I think YS lulls batsmen into a (false?) sense of security by spraying it all over and they start playing shots.

Yes defo

 

[sindhiboy]

Lol, horrible shot. You deserve to lose if you give a wicket to yasir.

Don't see eng coming back now

 

[Mueez]

Day just needs a hatrick from Naseem to end

Dreams do come true.

 

[topspin]

Credit to misbah?

Ofc you had to throw this in. You sad sad cheerleader.

You then have the audacity to say I talk about Misbah more than you

 

[Major]

Looks like misbahs msg to yasir helped haha

 

[Caved12]

I was just about to send a very nasty post for Yasir, but then he picked up that wicket, lol

 

[uberkoen]

I like this little Pope vs Naseem battle.

 

[Yk313]

Dreams do come true.

<3

 

[Fahdi]

5th stump Naseem, bowling too straight again

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yasir just needs to bowl 6 balls on spot and stop experimenting.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pope is on 32*. He is batting positively. Strike rate of around 66.

 

[Yk313]

Good shot

 

[Major]

Naseem yar mause na kar

 

[topspin]

Is there something about Misbah’s captaincy that Yasir Shah excelled under? He seems so flat and uninspired playing under Azhar Ali so far.

Not at all. Yasir is older than the age that is specified for him. He’s washed up as a spinner.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to get pope out before close of play.

 

[Justcrazy]

62 . 4

Another wicket here , Pakistan can apply pressure on lower order , they can bat , but under pressure they may get off.

 

[Fahdi]

Drew the edge....
