England v Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's | Jul 14-18, 2016 | Day 4

[Mamoon]

Azhar Ali should bowl a couple of overs here

Risky. He could go for runs and release the pressure.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amir is trying hard but no respite for him so far

 

[Syed2015]

You won't win more than a Test there

You wish.

 

[Hasan123]

Amir is doing a good job of keeping it tight. Just needs to become threatening

 

[big_gamer007]

The lack of swing is a genuine concern yeah. But he hasn't bowled badly at all like a few are hell-bent on proving.

Haters gonna hate for some they themselves set unrealistic expectations from players and when players don't deliver they blame them.. that's with fans across the globe/all sports.

 

[BleedGreen]

rahat ali on.

 

[Hasan123]

Come on Rahat

 

[Mainul]

For all the Pre Match Hype and all the Talk about Amir Amir Amir with Star Sports still showing ads about Amir vs England and no one giving a crap about rest of 10 Pakistani players its so Heartening to see the other 10 players step up to the mark and carry the team to a historic win..

English media fell into their own trap.They tried to put pressure on Pakistan by talking too much(some were harsh) about Aamir and it just backfired.

 

[Pete Rose]

Let Rahat get the obligatory boundary out of his system

 

[QalandarFan]

Rabat Ali on.

 

[solehria]

Rahat back

 

[Abdullah719]

Surprising to see that PAK is not swinging much - neither with new ball or old one.

Wahab was reversing it a decent amount.

 

[MSaad1237]

Oh no,, why take Yasir Shah off when he's on a roll ??

 

[BleedGreen]

lol wide in a test match. stupid rahat

 

[big_gamer007]

You won't win more than a Test there

If we cant win a test series against West Indies in current environment then we should stop playing test altogether and focus on T20 and ODI's only..

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rahat gun spray is back

 

[srh]

150 up

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat don't release the pressure! !!!

 

[Abdullah719]

A Test match wide.

 

[hur rizvi]

Too wide from Rahat. But there is reverse

 

[BleedGreen]

Only 133 to win. Ugh

 

[SL_Fan]

Yasir an absolute legend in the making. Champion!

 

[big_gamer007]

English media fell into their own trap.They tried to put pressure on Pakistan by talking too much(some were harsh) about Aamir and it just backfired.

Yea.. And not just English media watching it on Star Sports and the way they are presenting the series is Amir vs England not Pakistan vs England..

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rahat ball around the wicket yaar.

 

[MMHS]

Wahab was reversing it a decent amount.

Missed that part, but ball is keeping low; why Rahat is bowling ODI wide line?

 

[BleedGreen]

Woakes stance is a bit like MoYo

 

[Mainul]

I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of penetration. He hasn't trouble the English top-order at all in this innings.

Hopefully he will be able to clean up the tail quickly here.

Amir didn't bowl bad, just luck wasn't favoring him. Just like Finn in the Pakistani 2nd innings.

 

[hur rizvi]

All deliveries Too easy to leave ATM

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

If we cant win a test series against West Indies in current environment then we should stop playing test altogether and focus on T20 and ODI's only..

You won't win more than one Test.

 

[Strike Rate]

[MENTION=135445]Strike Rate[/MENTION] and it works

aakhir yeh aazmooda masherwa kidak tha

 

[big_gamer007]

Bairstrow trying to put pressure on Umpire.. Let him do his job..

 

[srh]

England again on driving seat

 

[The_KING]

Bring Yasir on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get them out now.

 

[Abdullah719]

Bairstow trying to get Rahat another warning for running onto the pitch but Dharmasena not buying it.

 

[big_gamer007]

You won't win more than one Test.

We'll see about that..

 

[QalandarFan]

4 more wickets come on Pakistan lets do this!

 

[Syed1]

England again on driving seat

If its the drivers seat of a donkey cart, then yes

 

[hur rizvi]

The problem with Amir has been lack of movement. He hasnt swung the ball at all neither conventionally nor reverse. It is his swing that makes him dangerous and he has been innocous through out this match

 

[imshally81]

England again on driving seat

Oh No....

From where?? This is Pakistan's match to lose now..

 

[Syed2015]

Lol, Amir the only one how is not able to swing the bowl an inch.

 

[BleedGreen]

Bairstow now eyeing Shah really well

 

[JibranAnsari]

Strange this , he was swinging miles in the practice match.

 

[theariezman]

I am impressed with Bairstow. He has not made any mistake during this inning.

We need to get Ron Weasley out now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We need to get Ron Weasley out now.

Haha Good one.

 

[Pete Rose]

Wickets will come. As long as they keep it tight

 

[big_gamer007]

What is Rahat doing?? Bowling 10 feet outside off stump for what?

 

[BleedGreen]

Bairstow is in prime form

 

[big_gamer007]

That's it keep that line..

 

[hur rizvi]

Yeah but may be conditions arent ideal for his stock ball which is inswing. Rahat and Woakes have been the only one who have extracted conventional swing. Wahab has extracted most reverse because of his action

 

[Hasan123]

Rahat needs to bowl at the stumps. Bit too defensive atm

 

[Pete Rose]

you know that a wicket is just around the corner when Rahat is bowling absolute filth

 

[ViciousMachine]

Yasir getting good spin, hopefully Rahat can keep it tight on his side.

 

[Syed2015]

Woakes will lead England to victory.

 

[Hawkeye]

Runs required are too less now.

England's tail can make it.

 

[QalandarFan]

What a delivery!

 

[ammar93]

Bairstow is the Akmal type. He'll give it away soon enough.

 

[Big Mac]

Rahat needs to bowl at the stumps. Bit too defensive atm

Nope. Keep it wide, slow the run rate and let the batsman get impatient and chase wide ones.

 

[shah_1]

Great bowling Rahat

 

[BleedGreen]

What a lovely cover drive for one

 

[Hasan123]

Nope. Keep it wide, slow the run rate and let the batsman get impatient and chase wide ones.

Bairstow seems as though he has the patience

 

[Chief Destroyer]

They should hire you as assistant bowling coach.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan has not been good in cleaning up tail after Waqar and Wasim era. Even Broad is a fearsome opponent for them, he has a match winning century against them. So game is not finished yet.Pakistan shouldn't relax here.

 

[PennOne]

Is rahat injured ? He isn't getting any wickets now

 

[Hasan123]

Put Yasir on the other end after tea.

 

[Syed2015]

What a lovely cover drive for one

Indeed, marvelous.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

As I said, 282 is a longggggggggggg target.

150-6.

140 more to go.

1 wicket away from tail.

 

[Belawal2014]

Going to sleep, hopefully wake up to a win.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Too many kids in this thread. Whining 24/7 is not fun to read for anyone. Its a game, one of England or Pakistan will win. Enjoy the game and let others enjoy it without the constant negative comments.

Lmao there doing just fine without my advice

 

[SL_Fan]

If Pakistan can pick up four wickets they should win this one I reckon.

 

[Mainul]

Who is that man? Perhaps a former cricketer who is already dead?

 

[Pete Rose]

One warning for running on to the pitch.

Stop being lameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Too many whiners on this forum these days.

 

[Hasan123]

Patience is the key in this game it seems.

That made me laugh, you are a funny guy!!

Good, he'll need it.
