England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 3

I think Pak in a pretty good position now. 250 lead with 4 wickets in hand. Impressed by your main man Shafiq...

If we can bat through to tomorrow, will be challenging for England, esp if Pak can hold their catches in eng's innings.
I would like us to find a way to bat an for an hour tomorrow. Tough with the new ball. As for shafiq, he needs these innings to get more confidence for the long run. But it's inevitable, Pakistan need to promote him higher.
 
Lmao as soon as Atherton and Holding was praising Bairstow keeping I knew he would drop a catch soon after
 
Test cricket truly alive and kicking in england. I also like the fact that english side keeps on churning out talented bats and bowlers. Very under rated in this regard.

Proper dog fight between pakistani batsman and english bowlers right now. Loving this.

Absolutely amazing to watch
 
That's for the idiots who say slip and keepers should move right behind the batsmen, It's ridiculously hard. Very good shot from Shah, top order material in the future.
 
England need a proper keeper and spinner. They are too obssessd with batting depth. There main batters aren't even peforming and there worried about number 8 and 9 holding a bat.
 
Unlucky for Finn. Hope it dents his confidence further. Need to target one of Broad or Finn so cook is forced to bring on moen
 
Of 63 balls, Yasir has played 40; which is great to his credit; but not a great tactics.
 
What a fantastic side this English test cricket team is. Top batters, top bowlers. Wonder what it'll look like once Anderson retires
 
Again, I don't like this. Sarfraz is exposing Yasir too much. Yasir playing too many balls in this partnership.
 
Drop off Bairstow and Moen peformances in 1st innings should show England it's better to have speclist than worry about batting depth. Have a proper spinner instead of Meon and better keeper than Bairstow. Woakes at 8 and Broad at 9 is enough depth. Bairstow just concentrating just on his batting will make him an even better batsmen
 
Yasir could also be considered for captaincy after Misbah.

I'm personally in favor of Shafiq.
 
Why was Riaz batting ahead of Shah for so long? Hopefully they stick with this batting order from now on,
