England reach 36/2 at stumps on Day 3, chasing 297 to win the second Test against Pakistan

[Muhammad Saad]

Just 4 short of 300 but nevertheless it's 70-30 now in Pak favour.

 

[Kianig89]

A good total, bowlers should finish the job now

 

[Ahmed216]

Good to have two spinners who can contribute 20-30 with the bat

 

[Nikhil_cric]

WinViz says 70:30 to Pakistan

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan's game to lose

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Should pickup couple of wickets before day end.

 

[Markhor]

Bit disappointing not getting a 300 lead for the psychological edge, but great counterattacking partnership between Agha and Sajid.

PAK may want to go with spin from both ends, and hopefully chisel out a wicket before close.

 

[sindhiboy]

No clue why Stokes didn't go with the bouncer barrage tactic earlier.
Eng have to bazball their behinds off to chase this down now

 

[batandballbattle]

Not quite 300 but more than enough even still
Over to the bowlers now, they hold all the aces on this pitch

 

[aukhan]

There you go. Almost 300 runs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

England would play as they do aggressively tonight no matter how many overs there are.

 

[PakPremi]

Duckett, Root and Brookes wickets will be crucial.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

England would play as they do aggressively tonight no matter how many overs there are.

And can lose 2/3 wickets in the process.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Still feel Pak are about 50-60 short as 350 could have been potentially game changing.

 

[Kianig89]

early wickets are req

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Huraira must play next game instead of Abdullah and let Shan open with Saim.

 

[JattMaula]

Enough on board to absorb a couple rapid chancy fifties.

 

[khyberlion]

Huraira must play next game instead of Abdullah and let Shan open with Saim.

Ideally both Shan and Abdullah should be dropped. Rizwan is also walking on thin ice but I am not sure if there is any replacement.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan will win this series 2-1

Without Babar entirely possible it can happen.

As long as Shaheen and Babar and Rizwan all leave the team, results will continue to improve.

 

[imshally81]

14 wickets have already fallen

 

[mominsaigol]

If pakistan wins this, not only will I be happy but I will gladly apologise for my earlier comments about my prediction.

However rizwan, Chacha, Babar, Shadab, Imam, Abdullah, Niazi, Shaheen, Naseem, Sham and anyone who

A) Is a nepo selection either via misbah or family heritage in the case of Imam, Rizwan and shan

B) Lacks fitness and gets fat like naseem and Babar did

C) Doesmt play fc or domestic cups yet parades around international circuit due to low level league performances

Shpuld all be booted into oblivion and never show their face again.

 

[zaidihusain]

It's 70:30 in favour of England. Hope Pakistan gets 2-3 quick wickets today!

 

[imshally81]

Huraira must play next game instead of Abdullah and let Shan open with Saim.

And Sarfaraz / Hadeebullah for Rizwan

 

[batandballbattle]

Duckett sweeps more than a kamwali during shaadi walay din
His early wicket is crucial

 

[khyberlion]

Pakistan should win this but I still think England are favorites for me.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Aamer Sohail and Ramiz Raja are the most annoying commentators.

Aamer Sohail was overconfident and claiming England's aggression will result in their downfall.

Not a fan of his commentary but he's kinda right

 

[Markhor]

Highest chase in Multan is 262. That was the famous Test in 2003 vs Bangladesh.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Duckett gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And can lose 2/3 wickets in the process.

1 Gone 2 to go

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Don gets Duckett.

 

[mominsaigol]

Don causing gut punches to a certain someone with a Christian pfp

 

[Markhor]

When your strength becomes your undoing !

 

[shortbread]

Cmooon

 

[PakPremi]

Scary Sajid's first kill this inning.

 

[Buffet]

LOL, loving this. Ducket gone. 9 more to go.

 

[batandballbattle]

Tinda Gabbar tou sweep karne nahi dayega!

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Big wicket for Sajid.

 

[emranabbas]

sajid don love you hogaya

 

[Buffet]

Eng has just one plan, sweep.

 

[Kianig89]

do not let them settle

 

[JattMaula]

If anyone even suggests dropping the Don at home again in near future, know he is enemy of Pakistan.

 

[Slim]

I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS. Everyones buzzing on PP. Fantastic test match. Honestly, i really hope we win. But in any case what a beautiful match. Thankyou Aqib, thankyou Mohsin uncle. Cricket is back in Pakistan.

 

[Slim]

The dogged innings by Pakistan, Agha doing everything possible, players diving, trying their best. This all was missing. This truly shows how toxic Babar, Shaheen etc. were for Pakistan cricket. I never want to see them back.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng will score at good rate

 

[SpiritOf1903]

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

What no fwd short leg, silly point?
What the fridge are u guys doing
Get all 11 guys around the batsmen and chirpin.....
Baazball be dammed.....therez no way Angrez getting 297.....
Pak winning at the mid point of lunch and tea tommorow.,....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need to get another man in the ring

 

[Slim]

Multan needs to fill up the stadium. Go and support the boys who feel pride in playing for the star. Not folks who were playing for their pay cheques. Lanat on Saya Mafia.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Don't let them sweep have one close fielder.

 

[Buffet]

I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS. Everyones buzzing on PP. Fantastic test match. Honestly, i really hope we win. But in any case what a beautiful match. Thankyou Aqib, thankyou Mohsin uncle. Cricket is back in Pakistan.

Just bowling tight will ensure Eng can't really get easy runs. Pakistan should win here. Team is desperate to win. Shake up did the trick.

Anyway, good cricket match is going on in Pakistan after very long time.

 

[Rana]

Crawley sweeping much better this time

 

[mominsaigol]

I AM ABSOLUTELY LOVING THIS. Everyones buzzing on PP. Fantastic test match. Honestly, i really hope we win. But in any case what a beautiful match. Thankyou Aqib, thankyou Mohsin uncle. Cricket is back in Pakistan.

Because for the first time pakistan is actually competing and the only players who are showing it are players who actually play red ball.

The team still has too much dead weight with rizwan, Abdullah, Shan etc etc.

Remove these lads and you got a strong test team

 

[Buffet]

Don't let them sweep have one close fielder.

It won't work over time, lots of risk so wickets will come and it may come in bunch.

Keep in and out field.

 

[Ali Active]

gonee give these English men a spin pitch on 3rd test also

 

[Rana]

One hell of a stumping

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Game over guys.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Even though one chacha is not playing we have another chachu to keep us happy.

 

[batandballbattle]

Chacha jeeeeee!

 

[Markhor]

Magnificent from Noman.

This 50 year old uncle is putting these supposed young spin sensations to shame.

 

[Saurav]

Fantastic performance by Pakistan. But not surprising.

Dunno why there were preparing roads earlier.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bazball going belly up. This innings is starting to remind me of the 2012 Abu Dhabi test when Ajmal and Rehman ran through No.1 ranked England. That was the start of our dominance in UAE.

 

[Rana]

This partnership is the game for England.

 

[Buffet]

LOL, another one. Good going.....

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan kept flawlessly first inning and now good stumping.

 

[emranabbas]

another wicket for the domestic boys

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Need to get Root out today and it will guarantee a win here.

 

[Saurav]

Bazball going belly up. This innings is starting to remind me of the 2012 Abu Dhabi test when Ajmal and Rehman ran through No.1 ranked England. That was the start of our dominance in UAE.

Yes similar pitches are needed.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Oh yeah baby!!!!!

Oh yeah!!!!

 

[SportsWarrior]

Come on Pakistan. This is your turn to get one over SENA team at home. We have done it for long looks like we will get rolled over

 

[emranabbas]

chacha nomi get us 1 more wicket this over

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Multan needs to fill up the stadium. Go and support the boys who feel pride in playing for the star. Not folks who were playing for their pay cheques. Lanat on Saya Mafia.

For the first time, i support you bro....
can't understadn why stadium is not full....you guys should be packing in and cheering the roof off....

 

[PakPremi]

Where is the 5-6 runs per over gone?

 

[Ali Active]

pakistan should always prepare spinning tracks like india does

 

[emranabbas]

good stuff by chacha nomi

 

[Amjid Javed]

1 or even 2 more wickets before close would be great here

 

[emranabbas]

need to roll england for under 46

 

[PakPremi]

Rizwan is actually doing the captaincy, telling them how to stop their sweeping. Lol.

 

[Slim]

For the first time, i support you bro....
can't understadn why stadium is not full....you guys should be packing in and cheering the roof off....

The fans morale has been destroyed in the past two years unfortunately. It will take some time and performances to recover.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

hope zahid gets a couple of overs before close of play today.

leggie can be a handful here

 

[Ali Active]

why does team look watchable after shaheen babar not being in team?
