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

I'm going to dread it when Wahab comes on, that guy concedes runs for fun
 
Should bring Rahat off, give a short four over spell to Wahab, allow him to just attack.
 
You FANS are really really impatient arent you guys. Amir may be bowling Bad here but he is still finding his feet back in test cricket let him settle down. He will ball badly here and there, but once he find his rhythm he is going to bowl Engand OuT.
 
This is where we all predicted England to be in a commanding position.. The attacking cricket. They have a line up long enough to be able to attack and knock of 150 runs in a session.. Which almost could make it a no contest really
 
Of course! Despite all the comments, chasing 280+ is never easy. Somebody from their lineup has to score big. We just need to keep taking wickets.

The pitch looks to good for batting from the looks of it, our fast bowling attack apart from Aamir is overrated.
 
They don't.

Usually they do, but Broad, Finn and Ball isn't at all threatening at 9, 10, 11.

Don't quite bat as deep as usual but I think in the number 7 and 8 spot we've got players who would perhaps be considered for a number 6 all rounder in other teams.
 
Root looks so much more confident and solid now.

He used to lack confidence before even when he was scoring runs
 
Rahat needs to bowl 6 deliveries on the spot where he bowled that last one. Maybe a bit fuller

Well said. Plus, he got Cook out essentially 3 times in the first innings. With a little luck, he would have had Hales bowled. Hopefully he can get going soon.
 
England showing maybe we should have been a bit more positive vs the new ball

it was a negative, nervy team innings from pak. aus would have batted england out the game quickly from there, might cost pak the match
 
Good over. Rahat kindly repeat this for next 4 overs

You should only think All batsman are right handers :rahat
 
That's why i have always preferred IK over Rahat, because IK is consistent with his good line.

And we need a bowler like him on such tracks :(
 
They are not finding the right length, Woaks was bowling at ideal length for this wicket. Either too short or too full

This is not going to work.

Amir bowling in body.

This could have been clipped for boundaries but not done.

One of the balls were good. But rest not well directed.
 
Yasir is the only threat to English Batsmen, our fast bowling is too rusty. If they bat sensibly against Yasir it will be an easy chase.Hope I am wrong!!!
 
Good tactics from Eng to score as much as possible before Yasir comes on to bowl.
 
Amir has conceded just 1 run from the 10 good length balls he's bowled. His 3 half volleys have gone for 9, including 2 fours
 
Gone!!! Rahat gets another. For a second I thought Hafeez would drop it. Good catch that.
 
It's as almost if Amir is scared in a way, he's bowling way too defensively, should pitch it up more and entice the drive.
 
Had my heart in my mouth

Hafeez just about held on
 
Good wicket now root must go quickly.
