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

[JibranAnsari]

Lol mamoon jinxed his favourite batsman. Stop doing it.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Unless Pakistan fully collapse, the game is still theirs.

231 lead.

250+ has been chased only once as someone pointed out.

 

[MSaad1237]

Wonder what would Anderson do to this abysmal Pak batting line up.. He was unplayable in the UAE .

 

[MRSN]

Still, provided they catch well.

This is a pretty flat track. NO chance we can defend anything under 350.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Woakes becoming unplayable what world I'm living in?

He has become good.

Do you think Woakes ball that got Asad was on a flat deck?

 

[JibranAnsari]

With Anderson back I think we will see a couple of sub 150 scores in the next match.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

pak in trouble, cant see tail making much runs.

 

[ExplicitAI]

We basically need 64 more runs to reach 300, I think that's doable

 

[MSaad1237]

Here comes Pakistan's sissy tail ..

 

[Hasan123]

Onus on Sarfraz here. Yasir and rest of the tail should just keep it simple.

 

[MRSN]

Do you think Woakes ball that got Asad was on a flat deck?

rare good ball but Eng batsmen will not go in the shell like our batsmen. They will come atttacking and finish the job early.

 

[QalandarFan]

It was a good delivery tbf

Yes it was but not just this innings, the last 3 times he got 50's he got out for 73,79,83. Plus he hasn't got big hundreds maybe once he's promoted up the order he'll score bigger hundreds.

 

[BleedGreen]

woakes gonna receive phenty from yasir shah

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shah can bat better than Wahab, Amir and Rahat.

He will give good support to Sarfi.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its time sarfraz makes up for the dropped catch. No better time to show his worth.

 

[Hasan123]

With Anderson back I think we will see a couple of sub 150 scores in the next match.

He wouldn't have played a 1st class game for a month or so. Don't expect miracles from Jimmy

 

[PakFan2010]

Why do umpires always review?

 

[imshally81]

Not Out

[Hasan123]

If we can 4 20 run partnerships we have 300 plus

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Shabaash Sarfraz. Kuch ker ke dikha aaj

 

[Imy]

Pakistan will win this even with the current score. There is no way England will make 23o

 

[Muhammad10]

Third umpire time.

 

[HitWicket]

Hes playing first class cricket today.

 

[MMHS]

The risk is, they might be 2 down in that attempt. 250+ scores are not like that you can win one partnership. I have seen teams chasing 170 from 30/4 or even worse; but 250+ gives the chance to make come backs.

In any case, PAK has to catch well - it won't be easy to keep against Yasir.

 

[BleedGreen]

another 60-70 runs and game is ours.

 

[Muhammad10]

Yasir jumped just after the bails came off. Close call.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Just need the tail to wag a bit, a 20 from somebody, couple 10s, and this is 300+ lead. Still a good chance for Pak to take control by end of day.

 

[JibranAnsari]

He has had enough game time , our batting won't be able to handle even 70 percent effective Anderson.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ball has gone soft.

Really if you have temperament, putting 50 to 60 is very doable.

Its about application.

As for England, they just have to bowl in the right areas and pray.

Or try Moeen. Their best bet.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Pakistan will win this even with the current score. There is no way England will make 23o

this is not day 5...

 

[QalandarFan]

Just need to get 60 more runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz needs to keep the strike.

 

[Rayyman]

Moeen can pray

 

[MRSN]

pacers on no chance for Sarfraz to score.

 

[Hasan123]

There is no 1st class game before 2nd test

 

[MRSN]

too much josh.

 

[JibranAnsari]

No need to expose Yasir to woakes.

 

[Hasan123]

Hes playing first class cricket today.

Dam I never knew

 

[MRSN]

looks like an edge but not carreid.

 

[QalandarFan]

It didn't even carry.

 

[JibranAnsari]

There is no 1st class game before 2nd test

Didn't he play test matches against srilnka?

 

[Abdul]

There is no 1st class game before 2nd test

We play Worcestershire before the 3rd Test

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

what are they doing? slog no point hanging about..

 

[Hasan123]

Didn't he play test matches against srilnka?

Someone has informed he's playing a 1st class game today. So he's getting match practice

 

[MMHS]

This is the loop hole of DRS - if it was given, TV umpires would have to be sure to over rule. I think, DRS shouldn't be with players - on- field Umpire can ask for assistance if he is in doubt, before giving verdict, but once decision given, it should stand like that.

 

[Hasan123]

We play Worcestershire before the 3rd Test

Yes but for the 2nd test he could be under cooked.

 

[Hamza_]

Woakes have been a nightmare.

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir has scored 6 First Class 50's and 2 List A 50's.

 

[Hasan123]

Cook bhai take Woakes out and put Moen in please

 

[QalandarFan]

Before this match Woakes averaged 41 now he's averaging 30!

 

[Professor]

pacers on no chance for Sarfraz to score.

What? Sarfaraz has been scoring freely so far and only has faced a few balls from the spinner.
At least try to be neutral.

 

[MMHS]

For a change - I stand corrected, Imran would have been better pick over Rahat here, the way Woakes is seeming it (Wahab can't be dropped as someone rightly mentioned, he is to scare)

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Moeen can pray

Haha.

 

[Mamoon]

He averages 40.67 in domestic.

The 40.67 you see on Cricinfo is the domestic average + the Test average, because Test runs are added to First Class record.

In domestic only, his average is in the high 30s.

 

[MMHS]

PAK should look to carry till 4th morning, so that Misbah can use the heaviest roller.

 

[PakFan2010]

We seem to have ran out of steam. We need some cameo knocks to push us to nearer 300.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

241 lead.

Pakistan in drivers seat.

Another 50 more runs and England have to pull off a heist to win this.

 

[Mamoon]

You sure 30?

I said 30s, high 30s, 37-38 I believe.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

whats the game plan now, at least score. Messi will eventually get a beauty..

 

[Muhammad10]

This is a very important contribution from Sarfaraz.

 

[MMHS]

The 40.67 you see on Cricinfo is the domestic average + the Test average, because Test runs are added to First Class record.

In domestic only, his average is in the high 30s.

True, his Test average is higher than FC, which is expected as well. PAK domestic wickets are not suitable for touch players.

 

[QalandarFan]

Sarfraz has slowed the pace down.

 

[Hasan123]

Scoring has stopped in the last few overs.

 

[QalandarFan]

Steven Finn on.

 

[taqi]

Need at least 300 target anything less than that will be tough

[Majestic_Inzi]

at least wahab would have slogged

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on Shah, relax yar.

 

[hur rizvi]

Do you think Woakes ball that got Asad was on a flat deck?

Isnt it quite flat for pacers? woakes has been moving the ball through out, none other has managed that

If Root and Cook neutralize Yasir and keep hi wicketless for some time, I dont think we have any depth in bowling to keep England under pressure

 

[PakFan2010]

No plan, no idea and It's only a matter of time.

 

[hur rizvi]

at least wahab would have slogged

He would have made sure a tailend collapse and we would be bowling now

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finn nearly won the battle, peeuuww. Lucky chance Shah.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped!

 

[#GreenRoars]

He would have made sure a tailend collapse and we would be bowling now

Totally agreed,, promoting Shah is a good move.

 

[hur rizvi]

sorry tale of our tail

 

[Nado_]

This question is to mamoon, what score is enough do you reckon? I reckon 300 for england to chase and we should win

 

[ViciousMachine]

I agree with a few people, now is the time to attack. Once Eng gets the new ball in another 14 overs, our tail will be in real trouble. Not saying they should blind slog, but they really need to start looking for runs right now. This is our best chance with the old/softer ball.

 

[MMHS]

It's certainly a bit uneven in bounce, add to that a bit swing.

 

[Mamoon]

Wahab is a hack. At least Yasir bats in orthodox fashion.
