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

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to bring Carse/Potts on . Rizwan can't play hard lengths .

Hard length persisted with and Rizwan gone.

 

[Rana]

Get out ya Dramey baaz

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan brain fart as usual

 

[TheSultan]

Cheers Rizwan

 

[kingusama92]

They were going so good.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Time to bring in replacement keeper in the team.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Rizwan always fails when under pressure in tests

 

[castortroy]

I'm telling you now, England will chase this score down.

Pak don't know how to win test matches and will crumble here

 

[zarak]

he needs to bat at 7. Can not have this at number 6.

 

[batandballbattle]

Wicket just when the partnership was flourishing

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Sajid Khan bowls at 90 and has the attitude of someone who bowls 150

Sajid Khan is a spinner, not a fast-bowler. He has also taken 7 wickets in this match so I think he has earned that right.

 

[castortroy]

Such an awful shot

 

[shaz619]

Rizwan was finished after he put everything into that shot he played against the Mr. Potts.

Back to the Apstaaal now, photo sooohutuuu selfie karooooh!

 

[TheSultan]

Just a glorified tailender Rizwan - how anyone can take him seriously as a batsman is beyond me

 

[Rana]

Tbf putting the natural hate aside

I think Rizwan did ok for what he is capable of

 

[SpiritOf1903]

England hold the advantage

 

[khyberlion]

This is awful from Rizwan. Getting out to a nothing shot.

 

[Rana]

Game and series isn't over yet.

I've always told these people to never celebrate too early. Nothing ever comes easy in life.

I want pakistan to win and KG and Sajid worked hard, however if they don't, then the gloaters will have alot to answer for

He of all people still hasn’t learned his lesson since the 2024 NY game

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If Pakistan win this series 2-1 then I will have no issues admitting you were right.

 

[aukhan]

Salman Agha - Future Captain? I see real captaincy potential in him.

Saud Shakeel as captain is another Babar Azam in the making.

 

[TheSultan]

Tbf putting the natural hate aside

I think Rizwan did ok for what he is capable of

Yup definitely if you consider the bolded

 

[emranabbas]

Time to bring in replacement keeper in the team.

Raza ul mustupha would have done better than rizwan he's the future of Pakistan

 

[khyberlion]

Why is Salman not batting ahead of Rizwan?

 

[Muhammad Saad]

England has an edge now and anything under 250 is chaseable on this pitch

 

[Rana]

Love Ramiz Fanboy of Dosti Yaari getting humbled

 

[shaz619]

When is Nomi coming to bat, I bet be will look technically better than Rizwan

 

[Dhakar Pola]

PCT 2nd innings batting is killing them

 

[Rana]

Why is Salman not batting ahead of Rizwan?

Because we need a warrior of the Ummah at 6

 

[shaz619]

Love Ramiz Fanboy of Dosti Yaari getting humbled

Carse ‘Castled’ him.

Rambo was waiting a long time for a clap for that one

 

[aukhan]

Love Ramiz Fanboy of Dosti Yaari getting humbled

Ramiz is biased and toxic. We need a neutral commentator who can call things as they are.

 

[TheSultan]

Love Ramiz Fanboy of Dosti Yaari getting humbled

Rameez has been dented quite badly

 

[Rana]

When is Nomi Cobra coming to bat, I bet be will look technically better than Rizwan

Nomi is like the first age elves in the second age

Nomi Ciardan

 

[mominsaigol]

If Pakistan win this series 2-1 then I will have no issues admitting you were right.

Mate you didn't even admit about sajid, Rizzu or any of your past claims. Rahnei dei. Some new narrative will pop up and I'll be hearing some wwe or aggressive quote from you eventually.

 

[shaz619]

Because we need a warrior of the Ummah at 6

Rizwan is the Salahudin Ayyubi of the Pakistani batting line up

 

[m.shah]

What a loose shot was that from Riz

 

[Kroll]

Typical, I switch over to laugh at Indian on their Test match for a few minutes, switch back and Saint Riz is gone.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice 15s and 25s ain't going to help build a good team inns

 

[Rana]

What a loose shot was that from Riz

This is more than what you can expect from him

 

[Muhammad Saad]

250 seems like an uphill task now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We need another 80 minimum

 

[PakFan2010]

Pressure on Shakeel, Salman and Jamal.

Pakistan need a lead of 300.

 

[batandballbattle]

Pace from both ends has now limited shakeel's scoring options
Think he's just waiting it out until a tweaker comes back on

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rizwan averages something like 12 or 13 against hard lengths. Will be consistently targeted by pacers

 

[mominsaigol]

As much I loved rizzu getting out because it means frauds like Major keep quiet cause he was defo gonna pop up had that 50 been scored, due to KG getting out at 26,

Overall I am mad at rizzu. He and saud need a partnership, England isn't that weak and their is no guarantee that 190 to 250 is a winning score. It's difficult yes, but not impossible.

Not a great time to get out and I was hoping he'd perform and take the lead > 250 today.

Farigh Kabootar

 

[Super Santi]

Salman Agha definitely deserves to bat higher than 7 from what I have seen.

 

[aukhan]

Pakistan does look a bit different than usual. I guess that's the result of getting rid of two senior politicians from the dressing room.

 

[Rana]

A bowler playing his 2nd Test exposing you…

 

[batandballbattle]

Salman Agha definitely deserves to bat higher than 7 from what I have seen.

Should bat above chotu and riz
His average is too good for a no.7

 

[emranabbas]

I'd be happy if Saud shakeel can get a 50+ here
It is a difficult batting pitch

 

[Rana]

Should bat above chotu and riz
His average is too good for a no.7

It’s his own fault too.

He wants to be this number 7 legend who bats with the tail. He’s mentally told himself that’s his position

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I'd be happy if Saud shakeel can get a 50+ here
It is a difficult batting pitch

InshAllah.

We really need one of these guys to get the score to a level beyond England.

Right now I am still nervous England are favourites

 

[batandballbattle]

It’s his own fault too.

He wants to be this number 7 legend who bats with the tail. He’s mentally told himself that’s his position

Agreed he is a batter who can bowl rather than the other way around, needs to back himself more

 

[emranabbas]

InshAllah.

We really need one of these guys to get the score to a level beyond England.

Right now I am still nervous England are favourites

If sajid Don clicks and the way the pitch is playing I'm confident we will get england under 150 or 200 max

 

[JattMaula]

80 more and Don will do rest.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan fans, kyun thakk rahe ho?

They are winning this

 

[Asif321]

Best WK in world struggling ?

 

[Rana]

Best WK in world struggling ?

He’s the man for a crap….oh sorry scrap I meant

 

[angrypathan]

Kamran Akmal mems

 

[emranabbas]

Tail is full of FC players they will definitely all pass rizwans 23

 

[Mamoon]

This match is already over and Pakistan will use the same template to win the decider.

People can pray hard for England to win from here but it is too late now. Another humiliation for the scam called Bazball.

Stokes is one of the worst Test captains I have ever seen. What do him and a mediocre Test cricketer like Baz know about Test cricket anyway?

 

[Rana]

What a poor drop

England have been really poor in crunch situations at times

 

[batandballbattle]

big let off for agha
foakes would have snaffled that in his sleep

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Feel sorry for the bowler. What a beautifal over but let down badly by fielders

 

[angrypathan]

Love me some butter fingers

 

[PakPremi]

Why is Salman not batting ahead of Rizwan?

Because he could had been out for even less considering how the pitch is helpful to bowlers now

 

[Hellion]

Carse giving it everything and these lads are dropping them like hot cakes

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

LMAO what has happened to England's fielding? Dropping the same guy twice in the same over is Pakistan-level stuff

 

[castortroy]

Pak struggling against pace as always

 

[batandballbattle]

oh wow and another!
this is usually our department

 

[Caved12]

lol what was their keeper doing? and then Root missed an easy one hilarious

 

[Super Santi]

Carse very unfortunate there, was a good over.

 

[m.shah]

Not watching, How is the pitch playing?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Salman needs to cash in on those 2 lives

 

[emranabbas]

Not watching, How is the pitch playing?

Nightmare for batsmen

 

[mominsaigol]

Here's the thing mate, I don't care about being seen in a positive light. And certainly not by a jabroni like yourself.

Stick to what you know, which is nothing...instead of embarrassing yourself whenever you try to reference anything about cricket pre-2020.

Sabar kar Christian sahib, Wait for the post natal depression period to end.

No personal chat now. Talk about game or else leave this thread

 

[PakPremi]

This is where Saud's calmness may help Pakistan.

 

[emranabbas]

No personal chat now. Talk about game or else leave this thread

No worries bro

 

[Hellion]

Agha trying to wear the pitch by running straight down the danger area.

 

[PakPremi]

Another 50 game on for Pakistan, though not a guarantee to win.
