England v Pakistan | 2nd Test | Manchester | Jul 23-26, 2016 | Day 3

[HamzaSaeen]

Innings defeat incoming

 

[Pakistani Pace]

LOL Shafiq

 

[castortroy]

English bowlers don't give you an inch

Pak bowlers give you at least 2 bad bowls per over

 

[Shafi]

The way we are loosing most likely this match will be finished by today after lunch considering we will be more crumble under scoreboard pressure.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Sarfi almost gone

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a stupid shot from Sarfraz. Stop being aggressive for a bit. Curb your natural instincts.

 

[castortroy]

Think we will be 4-5 down in the second innings before close of play if it doesn't rain

 

[Strike!]

We've played 35 overs only. Not even worth a full ODI yet.

 

[castortroy]

This is a pretty shameful performance after the lords win

 

[srh]

Shafiq never score when needed

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Yes might aswell get us some runs

 

[nish_mate]

ok then

An Afridi blitzkrieg would help reduce the lead....not that the present tuk tuking is helping your cause

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That was close.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Sarfraz will be getting out soon

 

[castortroy]

We have no control of our shots on these bouncy tracks

 

[Salman CricBio]

Looks like Sarfraz gonna attack lol. It might work.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad has a tendency to throw away his wicket , still disappointed.

 

[castortroy]

Afridi blitz as in a quick 20 and then a skier to get out

 

[Hasan123]

In the 3rd test we can't let England get a big score. Changes needed to be made in the next test

 

[Red Devil]

Playing like amateurs lmao. This is embarrassing.

 

[street cricketer]

So reminiscent of our last tour..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Match will be over before lunch tomorrow. 150 and 130.

 

[Shafi]

Does anyone know what is ou biggest innings defeat?

 

[uberkoen]

This is going to be one hell of a defeat for us.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Whatta shot Misbah

 

[castortroy]

We have a very turgid batting line up and the worst tail in international cricket.

would have been nice to have a shezad or akmal in the line up.

 

[Salman CricBio]

Shafiq never score when needed

Really? Go and check his 111 against South Africa.
And 1st Test against Sri Lanka in 2015.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Innings defeat won't do England any good. They should give the likes of Hales some batting practice so that they are more confident facing this bowling lineup. Cook and Root can't do the bulk of the scoring all the time.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz should be positive but not throw it away!

 

[nish_mate]

Sarfraz got the right idea

 

[Jabo]

Well Woakes isn't on the field so that suggests maybe they'll go for the follow on

 

[Mamoon]

Does anyone know what is ou biggest innings defeat?

Innings and 225 runs at Lord's vs England in 2010.

 

[Shafi]

Boss return!!!!

 

[Hasan123]

Loool cook has a deep square leg for Misbah. Cook and Misbah at times have weird field placing.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz playing well

 

[Shafi]

Innings and 225 runs at Lord's vs England in 2010.

Most likely we will loose this test by innings and 300 runs

 

[Mamoon]

Our batsmen have such ungainly stance.

 

[aukhan]

Good stuff from Sarfraz here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Good batting by sarfraz.

 

[Hasan123]

Ahh shabash Sarfraz. Make them bring Moen on

 

[street cricketer]

Sarfaraz 130 SR!

 

[nish_mate]

Shabash Sarfraz....

Just mind the windows

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah needs to play his shot ..no point just stuck around.

 

[aukhan]

Our batsmen have such ungainly stance.

Don't know what our local coaches are doing in domestic.

 

[Jabo]

I'd take Safaraz over Azhar any day of the week

Finally

trail under 500 now

 

[Hasan123]

Need to put stokes under pressure by rotating the strike.

 

[Markhor]

Get to 200 and save some face.

 

[Salman CricBio]

Innings and 225 runs at Lord's vs England in 2010.

I guess that was the same game in which Butt, Asif and Amir did fixing?

 

[Mamoon]

I guess that was the same game in which Butt, Asif and Amir did fixing?

Yes, and England were 100-7 at one stage.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bring back umar akmal to open the innings.

 

[Mamoon]

Don't know what our local coaches are doing in domestic.

It's more due to the low pitches.

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

Is the ball doing much? Considering there is a cloud cover and a bit of rain around?

 

[aukhan]

Always good to see Sarfraz bat in Test. His attitude as compared to our other batsmen is refreshing.

 

[Hasan123]

Always thought misbah could survive long periods. Was just worried weather he could runs at a good pace.

 

[nish_mate]

Shawa Shawa Sarfraz...

 

[nish_mate]

84 runs to pushups Misbah

 

[PakFan2010]

I can see these two putting on a double hundred partnership.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sarfraz is a very good Test player. Great to watch. Has to score big today though

 

[Mamoon]

Cook is pure class, look at the flawless technique.

 

[Mamoon]

Lol, saw it coming. Typical predictable Sarfraz.

Rubbish.

 

[castortroy]

Was inevitable

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol just as I say that rubbish shot from Sarfraz. Aggression is one thing but this is just stupidity.

 

[aukhan]

bad shot

 

[Slog]

Ok innings defeat

 

[Hasan123]

Street fighter is out. He just can't help himself at times

 

[Slog]

I can see these two putting on a double hundred partnership.

Get your eyes tested

 

[castortroy]

Those flashy shots will work in the UAE without the risk of snicking of.

Not in England

 

[nish_mate]

Gaaya saand pani main

 

[aukhan]

Follow-on time. Expect all our batsmen to bat more negatively.

 

[nish_mate]

I can see these two putting on a double hundred partnership.

Should have gone to spec savers

 

[Hasan123]

Some of our dismissals have been pathetic. It's not like we're being beaten by amazing deliveries. Just poor judgment

 

[theariezman]

No issues atleast Sarfi made his innings count.

[marlonbrowndo]

If he wanted to play at it he could have cut...

 

[castortroy]

Think the other games will be similar hammerings.

England at full strength now

 

[Mamoon]

Sarfraz is a not Test class batsman or keeper overseas.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz dismissal is the affects of playing in the UAE. He's not use to that bounce he thought it would be lower than that

 

[Pakpak]

Sarfraz is a not Test class batsman or keeper overseas.

As compared to the dozens of worldclass keeper batsmen we have waiting in the wings.

 

[rollingstoned]

Sarfaraz getting out to a one day shot. Look at the the bat angle

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfraz is a not Test class batsman or keeper overseas.

His dismissal was the affects of too much cricket in UAE. He expected it too keep lower than that.

 

[JibranAnsari]

There is a strong chance of match finishing today
