England reach 96/1 in reply to Pakistan's first Innings total of 556 at stumps on Day 2 of the first Test

Good stuff from Pakistan so far. Need 600 to secure their survival on this track
 
After Agha 100 ,they should declared. Draw is equal to lose for pakistan .

You're in dominating postion but scared
 
Brilliant century from Agha!
Breathed life back into this innings, and has set us up for a declaration late in the day
 
3 centuries playing at 7-8 with Pakistani tailenders is no joke. Fantastic find.

And in the meantime Shaheen proving why he is rubbish. No IQ whatsoever.

Still some Pakistan cricket fans not happy about agha
 
STAT: This is the 4th time three Pakistan batters have scored a hundred against England in the same innings:

Birmingham, 1971
The Oval, 1987
Rawalpindi, 2022
Multan, 2024*
 
They scored 550+ now why not declare? Ok just play one over and try to hit couple of boundaries and end the misery of english bowlers.
 
Sky Sports' Michael Atherton:

"We were talking about how well England have held it together in the heat and the dust and the 148 overs in the field.

"But there are signs of their weariness in the last 10 minutes with Smith's missed stumping and Atkinson, he never looked like taking this and barely got a hand on it."

Games already a draw. Unless pakistan has a freak collapse on day 5 which won't happen with this bowling lineup.

I won't be suprised if all 3 test games are drawn.

But ironically pak can win. England might collapse, real possibility as their all tired
 
Pakistan are afraid to lose they are entirely setting up for a draw. Pathetic mentality

You can judge a players IQ level by the way they bat in certain situations. Here Abrar has Salman batting at 100 on the other end and he tries to hit his first ball for six coming down the ground. That's low IQ. Complete lack of game awareness.
 
For physiological advantage Pakistan should declare .

10 -15 runs doesn't make any difference .
 
Defensive mentality from Pakistan. How bad they have declined. Unbelievable.

Didn't know there are physiological advantage of getting declared as well , care to explain more I am literally intrigued. I am guessing the balls become bigger after the declaration?
 
So Pakistan plan to injured Most agressive batters of England .

Well-done,they very well execute the plan.
 
Get 1 or 2 wickets before the stumps and the game gets more interesting.

Yeah but this lax attitude should be punished severely .

It could be the difference between a boring drawn Test and a nail biter.

We need a full 450 overs to possibly get a result on this pitch if it stays the same.

Bad for Test cricket if this is allowed to continue. England have consistently done this throughout the WTC.
 
Low bounce to start the england innings. Shaheen... come on bro. Gets some wickets.

Their game should be forfeited tbh. This is blatant cheating but pakistan don't say anything smh.

They know their bowlers are tired. They purposely delay the game so they can rest more. Bowlers can get additional rest so the can charge up and bowl with full intensity.
