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

Lead by 96 with 9 wickets in hand.

I hope awaam dont target Ghulam if he fails. I hope he does well second innings. Babar fans are waiting like animals to massacre him.
 
Root being thrown in as the bait, Saim needs to be careful.
 
Root has 5-8 in India, and then some losers have the audacity to lecture us about spin pitches. Literally the land of fraud doctored pitches.

He is the only reason Pakistan are in driving seat.
I m pretty sure babar would have not scored more than 20 on this wicket.
 
Really enjoying this match but its about to be 3AM and i have to go to work. :sree

Damn.. I meant to say Zimbabar in post. How can I say his name wrong,he is Zimbabar.
 
These guys are brutal against spin.

Luckily that 1st innings lead is there to keep them safe for a bit.
 
Playing with an angled bat to a straight delivery. Shan bhai please retire please. Salman Agha should be our new captain
 
England will win this. Pak will probably set a target of 200ish and England will chase it
 
Shan the saviour the messiah the guaranteer the influencer all wiped out
 
Can't see ayub lasting long here either.

The usual dogs dinner of a 2nd inns so far from pakistan
 
Whenever i see Shanu the king bat i like his intent but it always feel like he has only 20-30 runs in him no matter what the pitch.
 
Spare a thought for Gillespie, why did he landed this job , he should have a complete medical check up after this game
 
The dearth of talent in Pakistan cricket is horrifying , lok at their tecknikes
 
How come we are gifting wickets to Bashira? He was taken to the cleaners in the first innings.

I would beg to differ.

Did PCB give adequate chances to domestic performers? Remember how much time Babar got till he proved himself to be a champion batter. PCB lacks a visionary person who is strong and can lead the nation to glory.
 
If we lose this , Pakistan should be clubbed in minnow bracket officially

Tbh with you, the current chairman is literally the guy with the most amount of vision. Zaka Loose Fitting Asharf, Ghantay ka Raja, Wasim Imported Khan, Najam Chirya Sethi were much worse.
 
Fighting for every run, thats one heck of a dogged innings so far. What a fantastic test match tho! Watching one live after a long time. Thats what Babar, Shaheen and co. did to us. Terrible.
 
Credit to Saim for showing maturity in his play this far, and not going into shell like Abdullah would had if he was still playing.
 
Have not watched all Pakistan tests since Shan became captain but it looks like he shouldn’t even be in the XI let alone be captain.

Any other captaincy options?

Pakistan's domestic system is full of 130 kph medium pacers. They are the top-wicket takers in FC. The top performing batters like Kamran Ghulam and Saud Shakeel are very good players of spin but have obvious weaknesses against pace. Our spin stocks are completely depleted. Sajid Khan is pretty much the only off-spinner we have and he wouldn't even be among the Top 10 spinners in India or Sri Lanka. Our best left-arm spinner is a 50 year old uncle. The idea that we have an abundance of talent is just a myth.
 
It's unbelievable...
Only in Pakistan a player like shan gets to play international cricket... Heck..even made a captain...

Anyone would be better than him tbh. The benchmark has been set low thanks to both him and Babar.
 
Some despos taking a dig at Indian wickets after they had to retrospectively change the wicket to a used pitch for two games in a row after getting humiliated in the first.

Peak 🤡 behaviour.
 
Can PCB schedule a first class match at the Rawalpindi ground in the next few days? and then use the same pitch for the 3rd test match ;) Seems as this is the only way to produce a spinning track in Pakistan :)
