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

[ahmedwaqas92]

Shaan on route to a massive 100 today, Inshallah....

 

[#GreenRoars]

If Shan and azhar can get a 50 runs partnership I'd be pretty happy with Shan but azhar has to perform big please , though younis has a high average in 4th innings but I think we can't depend that much on the team man,

Azhar is a one down player, which is the most important spot in playingXI. AA needs to perform better for the team.

 

[big_gamer007]

Target for England is gonna be 350+ they will have to bat out of their skins to win this one against 4th and 5th day Yasir..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lead almost 100 now. England under real pressure

 

[Seen Sheen]

The way Ramiz presents distorted facts with confidence is quite shameful.

 

[yasir]

If you guys didn't have Yasir, england would have pounded you even with this pace attack.

But with yasir, the game changes completely.

His regular balls are spinning a bit to make his sliders super wicket taking deliveries (drift + slide).

There is no question about that. Warne has avg of 19 at lords in 4 test, so that's not way out of left field, we knew Yasir will be effective but that effective was pleasant surprise.

Wicket will get uneven, others will be more effective not to mention Yasir.

You can't shift Perth to Pakistan, can you?

Ur insanly biased towards shezad

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shan on route of throwing away his wicket.

 

[On_the_up]

Every run's a bonus from Shan

 

[Boi]

Shan really has a problem playing across his front pad. A good guy but has too many technical deficiencies to be successful at this level. Needs to improve quickly.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great shot

 

[On_the_up]

And now a beauty, his shot of the day

 

[Amjid Javed]

cracked away for 4 by masood, lead is 101

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Lol he improved somewhere were everyone was doing good, pak domestic is not a place to judge a player be less biased towards players even khalid latif and manzoor did good

If Pakistan Domestic is not the place to judge players, then where shall these players prove themselves? Not everyone can get contracts in Australia and England, will you provide them with contracts?

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nice flick off his hips; 4 for Shan.

 

[big_gamer007]

England bowling long line should test outside offstump not try for LBW..

 

[Boi]

100 lead up.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Yeah we saw his "improvement" in PSL too and then that legendary World T20 he had. Rubbish should be kept away. Rubbish with attitude issues

Pakistan Cup was after the WT20I and PSL.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too high. For a second I thought he was gonna raise his finger

 

[Hawkeye]

SOMEONE PUT MASOOD OUT OF HIS MISERY!

Hopeless.

I'll take these fluke runs though, help us

 

[shah_1]

Masood struggling

 

[On_the_up]

Masood missing too many shots of the legs, should be bread and butter to a lefty. LBW will come eventually

 

[Seen Sheen]

Gets in a real tangle there. Lucky that it was high.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Masood needs to stop shuffling across his crease here and needs to play straight!

cant afford to throw it away here.

36/1 lead is 103

 

[On_the_up]

SOMEONE PUT MASOOD OUT OF HIS MISERY!

Hopeless.

I'll take these fluke runs though, help us

Indeed, a 30 odd will be a big bonus.

 

[MMHS]

Shaan has some good shots, but his tendency of "falling" makes him twice vulnerable on anything short or incoming - that's duel agony, can't play short, can't play in swing. But, if Arthur can fix his technical issues, he has right temperament for a Test opener.

 

[Hawkeye]

The only bread and butter Shan likes is the one found in his fridge.

 

[yasir]

Why Shan falls overto me to offside, that's terrible balance [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Shani is living dangerously here.

Tbh hes fit

 

[On_the_up]

Eng leaking runs.

I hope you have gotten a good chance to look at him now, instead of saying "but but you're only posting bad videos of Masood's dismissals".

Actually, the ONLY 'decent' shots he plays are the ones that are fluke. Most of the balls coming at him - he struggles BIG time.

In total misery out there.

 

[Seller1984]

We have seen him play, cant rotate the strike even if his life depended on it

Mentioned this vulnerability earlier: but unlike his partner, I think he has the humility to learn and change.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Crucial 15 minutes before lunch, solid batting needed here.

 

[On_the_up]

This is a good pitch to bat on now.

 

[Hawkeye]

Tbh hes fit

Yes, wasn't implying he's fat.

But he's a very lazy fielder, though, despite being skinny.

 

[Boi]

Ahh the legendary YK making an appearance in Hawkeye.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

I won't argue more, but I guess you missed the Pakistan Cup.

 

[On_the_up]

Hafeez must be kicking himself, if not he should be.

 

[Pete Rose]

Round the stumps trying to generate a different angle, says Ramiz

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

How can these people afford to take time out for a Test match in England, as it's sold out?

 

[MMHS]

In total misery out there.

But, he is surviving & that's not by fluke - got a really good one in 1st innings, now has looked solid.

I like hard working, honest, dedicated players more than any thing else - depending on your talent, one can finish as Virat, one as Shaan; but most PAK youngsters won't pass my 1st filter.

 

[Seller1984]

Good day shezadian

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

How?

It's a weekend, excellent sunshine, what's not to like.

 

[taqi]

Need at least 350 target with this wicket

Good day shezadian

I am a Pakistani.

 

[On_the_up]

A beauty by Woakes.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Moeen Ali loosening up

 

[Arsal_AK]

Lazy fielder?

Have you watched the game?

 

[Bouncer]

Why is English leggie (Adil Rashid) not playing?

Has he been injured?

Did he not play against SL and SA?

 

[Boi]

How?

The batsmen on the hawkeye ball map looks just like YK.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

It's a weekend, excellent sunshine, what's not to like.

Yes, but don't these people have jobs?

 

[Amjid Javed]

woakes causing problems again in this inns, loose drive there from Azhar! needs to refocus

 

[Shafi]

We should introduce any of Sami Aslam or Babar Azam in the 2nd test replacing Hafeez. If they failed then media & so-called formers will blame their inclusion for defeat and jeopardize their future.

 

[On_the_up]

Urging Ali to drive against the out swinger. Good bowling

 

[MMHS]

Andaaz, Apna apna - if this series goes in touching distance (all 3 results possible) - I have actually asked for 3 days leave during Oval Test. I even don't know the schedules of ODI ................

 

[Markhor]

Ship has been steadied somewhat. Hope we can make it to lunch unscathed.

 

[big_gamer007]

Its weekend, nice sunny day and football season is over?

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar Ali has an ungainly defense

 

[Markhor]

Why is English leggie (Adil Rashid) not playing?

Has he been injured?

Did he not play against SL and SA?

No, he's been mainly considered for limited overs formats.

 

[adarsh_bang]

England cannot wait to replace Finn with Jimmy Anderson I'm sure

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Woakes is very very clever.

 

[MMHS]

Is that his son, by his side? Resembles Jemima ....

 

[Pete Rose]

Yes, but don't these people have jobs?

city with a population of 9 million: surely filling a stadium on the weekend is not a tough ask

 

[adarsh_bang]

Ungainly as it is, it still inspires confidence though.. Unlike the rest of the line barring Asad shafiq

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

The thing about Woakes is that he is 2 in 1, can swing the ball as well seam it, unlike our bowlers in the playing XI.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ungainly as it is, it still inspires confidence though.. Unlike the rest of the line barring Asad shafiq

Ungainly but resolute, yes

 

[Muhammad10]

Great job bundling out England. A massive morale booster given our past struggles against their lower order.

 

[On_the_up]

Ali coming on, a bit of turn

 

[MMHS]

Very good call by Cook - he is planning to finish some quick overs when Azhar & Shaan are there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Moeen on now, masood needs to be careful here.

 

[QalandarFan]

Moeen Ali on.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ramiz given a spot quiz by Nasser about Shans prowess against spin. Some hesitation in the answer

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Need to score as much as we can off Moeen Ali, no need to waste balls.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Are we gonna play a maiden on Moeen

 

[Muhammad10]

Good to see scoring intent from both these batsmen. Tuk-tuk would be very counter productive in this situation.

 

[On_the_up]

A maiden.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

What a waste of an over by Masood, should have been 20 from it, maximum.
