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

[Amjid Javed]

Absolutely school boy batting this

Pathetic.

Agha play some damn shots

 

[PakPremi]

Pak will be bowled quickly now, Agha may as well get few boundaries.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win.

Target of 230+ should be tricky here against Sajid and Noman.

 

[mominsaigol]

Is this going to be a 3 day test game

 

[hur rizvi]

Agha needs to attack.

Pakistan is leaving the door open here. They could have put England away with 300+.

Englands game I reckon 60-40

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sajid ain't hanging around here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is this going to be a 3 day test game

4 day game

 

[Human786]

234/8 ... Agha should hit out . 250 is enough .

 

[Super Santi]

This Sajid innings will be very fun.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

No point hanging around. Better to go for big runs because it's only a matter of time before you get a ball with your name on it.

 

[batandballbattle]

sajid still high off his 7fer and swinging for the hills

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good stuff Agha

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Only the second time that Saud has been dismissed to the sweep in Tests according to Cricviz.

Average against sweep has dropped from around 200 to a 100

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just tunedin and jamal wicket and Atherton on air says 'England are still in it' ....gee whiz he must be joking...
before i hit 'post reply ' button was called away and now Bashir gets another wicket...
All pak need is another 50 runs and they can stomp England all over Multan with spin.
- What an awesome fightback by Pak , Sajid don is going to enter legend territory with a 10fer for this match...
Angrez cant score 200 + on a turning track- 4th or 5th day...
but match will b interesting...

 

[Human786]

238/8 .... 24 overs left for the day .

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan as usual pathetic in the third inning.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Pakistan has this match in the bag imo. The wicket is turning, I don't expect much from Joe Root and co on a challenging wicket...

5th day over in 2nd session day 4

 

[zaidihusain]

These guys are struggling to score even 200 runs in 3rd innings. It's frustrating to see such collapse so frequently. Few players must be treated strictly with danda

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Agha now looking to go for it and it's shots coming and a catch coming any minute.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

this would already be England's highest fourth-innings chase in Asia

I am less confident man.

Maybe because it's been a while since we won

 

[Muhammad Saad]

At least get 250 and make a match out of it

 

[batandballbattle]

Pakistan has this match in the bag imo. The wicket is turning, I don't expect much from Joe Root and co on a challenging wicket...

That's exactly who I would expect to hurt us, he's fantastic against spin
Him and Duckett will need to go early...

 

[oatmeal]

Salman playing a solid innings here

 

[aukhan]

This game can still go either way.

 

[Human786]

253/8 .... 1-1 loading .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Yes get in Salman!!

 

[kingusama92]

Brilliant batting from Agha.

He's a true fighter.

 

[oatmeal]

England will play their shots here too , especially early on. Anything below 300 is not safe, even over 300 is dependent on the first 20 overs of the innings

 

[BouncerGuy]

15 of the over.

Salman getting under the skin of ENgland...superb batting

 

[batandballbattle]

Our best batsman atm, fighting knock

 

[Rana]

Ben Stokes is ticking

 

[PakPremi]

275 lead will give Pak fighting chance.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Yes Salman - Exactly what Pakistan need

1 2 2 4 2 4 - 15 runs!!

 

[Markhor]

Fantastic sweeping from Agha. For a while we were getting outswept by non-Asian teams at home which was galling. Younis, Misbah and Sarfraz used to sweep spinners to distraction in UAE era.

Safe shot on low bounce wickets.

 

[Rana]

Saud
Salman
Kamran

Proper Test batters

 

[ataullah]

Rambo: "The moment lead crosses 250 Pakistan are favourites."

"This aggression has rocked England"

Most hilarious commentator

 

[batandballbattle]

Want to see this guy at #5 in Pindi!

Athar Ali Khan level commentary from Ramiz

 

[mominsaigol]

Saud
Salman
Kamran

Proper Test batters

What about Agha? He's been doing fantastic?

 

[Human786]

256/8

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Finally a Pakistani batter who may not be a complete mental midget

 

[Rana]

Want to see this guy at #5 in Pindi!

They will move Saud to 7

 

[Human786]

Athar Ali Khan level commentary from Ramiz

Ramiz is cringe every which way ...

 

[Caved12]

Wow it is a treat to watch Salman bat against spin

 

[zaidihusain]

Saud
Salman
Kamran

Proper Test batters

Yes they are proper test batsman technically. All these 3 must bat in top 5 positions

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Agha scores some real tough runs . #7 is too low for this guy. Surely a Top 5 batter.

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need another 25-30 atleast

 

[Amjid Javed]

7 is good, it's ideal role for him to come in and play like this

 

[Deewana Mastana]

234/8 ... Agha should hit out . 250 is enough .

Nope it isn't.

 

[Rana]

Keeper has been a joke in the past 2 hours or so

 

[Romali_rotti]

I don't see Pak losing from here. Sajad Khan is bowling with fire on a turning wicket...

 

[Human786]

260/8

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We need another 25-30 atleast

300 lead is essentially good somehow if we can get to it is the biggest question.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This is why they say first inns runs are so important.

 

[shariqnoor]

Looks like Sajid is wearing Shan's helmet. Looks huge on Sajid

 

[shariqnoor]

Salman can expose Sajid to bashir but should not be doing to Leach. Didn't understand the single.

 

[batandballbattle]

That drop proving costly for England

 

[Super Santi]

Why did they turn down 2 there?

 

[Super Santi]

Why did they turn down 2 there?

That’s why to be fair

 

[DeadlyVenom]

King Salman

 

[Ahmed216]

What an important knock from Agha once again. Doesn't shy away from the challenge and a competitor

 

[Markhor]

Agha and Rizwan should swap positions. 7 is too low.

 

[aukhan]

Impressive 50 by Agha

 

[Caved12]

Amazing simply amazing What a player

50 for Salman with that huge six

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

England getting a taste of their own medicine.

 

[aukhan]

30 more runs for a fighting total. This game can still go either way.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

15 runs more and England will need a record chase for a visiting team in Asia.

 

[Human786]

hope the equalizer here does NOT motivate them to make another Road in Pindi .... 278/8

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Get 25 more runs and it will be huge chase for English bazzballers

 

[Caved12]

England have bowled very poorly in the last 30-40 minutes.

 

[oatmeal]

Sajid is taking singles off the last ball. very confident

 

[KingKhanWC]

Great knock by Salman, underated batter.

20/.30 more , should be more than enough.

 

[Caved12]

InshAllah Sajid will show them again how to bowl on this pitch

 

[Hellion]

Sajid gets warning now for running down the pitch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid gets warning now for running down the pitch.

And he was like " HAINNNN MEEE????""

 

[Markhor]

Sajid has 5 FC fifties and even a hundred. Not like Agha is batting with Rahat Ali.

 

[mominsaigol]

Agha and sajid have played a match winning knock tbh. They did it

 

[Human786]

281/8
