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

[JibranAnsari]

Woakes is a proper batsman.

 

[Hasan123]

Woakes showing good ticker.

 

[ViciousMachine]

oh no... two warning, this is dicey. Remove Wahab and bring back Amir maybe? I want to save Wahab short stuff vs Broad

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ohh Wabby, just bowl around the wicket yaar.

 

[HitWicket]

These rules are ridiculous. Nothing will happen to the pitch if you stand on it

Nope, scraping metal spikes through some compacted dirt and sand does nothing...

 

[Haroon786]

I don't get offended, don't worry.

I think both teams have lacked intensity today, which is surprising because the game was up for grabs for both of them.

Overall a great game.

IMO when you're emotionally invested in the match then every delivery is exciting.

Personally would have preferred a more dominant display by Pakistan but England have kept them honest.

 

[Watsupdoc]

These rules are ridiculous. Nothing will happen to the pitch if you stand on it

It creates rough since they are wearing spikes and 'damages' the pitch.

 

[Big Mac]

Misbah should be aggressive and squeeze in more catching fielders near the batsmen to support the bowlers.

Don't you watch Pakistani test matches? This is pure UAE style, you don't put slips and close catchers in just to give the impression of being aggressive. This is Pakistan's bread and butter in winning test matches.

 

[Abdullah719]

Wahab Akram now bowling around the wicket.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

1 more warning and wahab cant bowl is it? already 2 warnings

 

[imshally81]

[Inswing]

Seriously shafiq why u would do this

 

[IcedCoffee]

Dropped.

 

[hur rizvi]

DRopped by Asad

What a shame

Can lose the match for us

 

[Sandeep]

Oh bad! Lovely bowling this.. Wahab deserved the wicket there!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Dropped or fell short????

 

[Seen Sheen]

Asad, no man!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Asad Shafiq...

 

[a_jawad]

needed two effing warnings to do the right thing FINALLY

 

[Muhammad10]

Wahab bowling some absolute jaffas.

 

[hur rizvi]

May be didnt carry

 

[IcedCoffee]

Wait, it bounced.

 

[Hasan123]

Shafiq why no dive

[Mamoon]

Fell short, not a drop.

 

[MRSN]

didn't carry

 

[Speedster1]

Agree but I dont think England will drop Mo. Bhai. I would want him to be replaced by Rasheed bhai though who IMO is a better test option

In - Stokes, Rashid, Anderson

Out - Moeen, Finn, Ball

Eng need a spinner at OT

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looks like it just didn't carry...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Peeuw, just fell short.

 

[hur rizvi]

WAhab looks more dangerous from around the wicket

 

[Seen Sheen]

Brilliant stuff from Riaz though

 

[Syed2015]

Asad lost Pakistan the match.

 

[NeVerMind]

Fell short, didn't drop it

 

[IcedCoffee]

The ball is constantly keeping low. Shafiq needs to come up a bit.

 

[Hasan123]

Ramiz making it dramatic loool no way would shafiq drop that

 

[imshally81]

Edge again

[Adijazz1706]

The game has ground to a halt, only 10-15 runs in the last 10 overs.

 

[hur rizvi]

Things happening phewww

 

[Hasan123]

Asad lost Pakistan the match.

It fell short.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Man how lucky is woakes? The ball isn't carrying at all

 

[hur rizvi]

Asad lost Pakistan the match.

That didnt carry

 

[imshally81]

Beautiful delivery

So unlucky

 

[Mamoon]

I always wonder why some Pakistani players, especially Younis, where a watch while playing.

 

[Sandeep]

Just shows how tough it is to chase in 4th innings with pressure from bowlers, scoreboard pressure and of course, the pitch misbehaving. Even the set batsmen aren't able to figure it out!

 

[Seen Sheen]

England can't seem to spot the ball. Looking totally at sea against the pace-spin duo.

 

[Hasan123]

It creates rough since they are wearing spikes and 'damages' the pitch.

Fair enough

 

[hur rizvi]

WAhab should continue with around the wicket angle. No need to play with fire and get taken out of the attack

 

[Hasan123]

Pitch is doing something. Shabash wahab produce a beauty here

 

[ViciousMachine]

So many edges, we just need a little luck!! Keep going Team Green!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Have you watched him at all this summer?

I didn't watch much of the ODIs but what I saw did nothing to change my opinion of him. He's mediocre at best.

 

[Adijazz1706]

Slips need to come a couple of steps forward, too deep right now imo.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Don't you watch Pakistani test matches? This is pure UAE style, you don't put slips and close catchers in just to give the impression of being aggressive. This is Pakistan's bread and butter in winning test matches.

pitch is helping the spinners, old ball help to reverse swing. if so then yes put catching fielders in..pak one wicket away from closing this match.. if eng get to 200-6, then pressure will be back on pak..

 

[Sandeep]

Wahab Riaz is an OLD ball bowler. Reversing at pace and with zip.. great bowling this.

 

[IcedCoffee]

Shafiq removed from slips? Wot.

EDIT: Finger injury/sore.

 

[PennOne]

Why isn't wahab getting these batsmen out, he seems to have lost it

 

[Hasan123]

Fustrating times

 

[Sandeep]

Why isn't wahab getting these batsmen out, he seems to have lost it

Are we watching the same match?

 

[On_the_up]

There is no tail.

England's tail starts at no 4.

Woakes has nerves of steel. What a find for England.

Should play all three formats. Has done heroics in ODIs already.

 

[Big Mac]

It's so they know when it's Asr time.

 

[Hasan123]

Bairstow is desperate to see England home here..

 

[Seen Sheen]

Fire in at around off-stump!

 

[PennOne]

Are we watching the same match?

He isn't getting anymore wickets and allowing batsmen to settle . Maybe he has lost his edge

 

[Sandeep]

Agreed. Imagine him opening the bowling with Anderson and Broad to follow. Great prospect..

 

[On_the_up]

Wahab has looked more threatening after he went round the wkt.

Harder to take wickets when England players not looking to hit shots

 

[Markhor]

Very stubborn resistance. Partnership is 31 off 20 overs.

 

[Inswing]

Wahab is on fire :AAG

 

[imshally81]

Unlucky Wahab

If that's the case then Pakistan are in the unique scenario of having a tail at both ends .

 

[IcedCoffee]

Good effort this by Wahab.

 

[Hasan123]

Wahab bowling well deserves a wicket

 

[Seen Sheen]

Play and miss!Frustrating!
