England v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Birmingham | 13th July, 2021 | Pakistan innings

Can Babar get a 200 here? The bowling seems to be super ordinary, he seems to be in great touch and the pitch is as flat as it gets and the conditions are sunny
 
This is is why Pakistan team is called unpredictable. I would have never imagined that they would be in the current position after how they started,
 
Babar won't get better chance to get his 1st big daddy hundred.

Surprisingly he has zero 150+ scores in international cricket.
 
Send in Sohaib Maqsood and Hasan Ali in next. No point in bringing in Shadab or Saud
 
Rizwan needs to read the script and keep giving the strike to Babar
 
Great shot but this isn’t going to any favors, how did Pakistan get bowled out for less than 200 twice against this bowling lol this is going to be the opening statement of a lot of Pakistani cricket experts on YouTube
 
No chance for the English hacks to chase this against Pak bowling. Pak batsmen might as well have some fun now

When he started his acceleration after getting set was pretty weak, now with more further growth and development as a player I think he should be able to get slightly bigger one.

Yeah their inexperience will finally show today.

I'd have backed the full strength Eng team to chase this down in 45 overs.
 
This is how he should bat in slog overs. Keep his shape and pick the gaps like mohammad yousuf

True and in between he will get those six hitting balls as well on which he can capitalize on rather than trying to force those and losing his shape.
 
Have really enjoyed this partnership so far, just like the one they had in SA while chasing 200+ in T20
 
Just to say hasan ali sent this leggie to the cleaners last game and they havent hit him at all
 
Wow terrible bowling, this is the definition of halwa bowling but can’t blame the batsman, you still need to cash in
 
Watched highlights of thr second odi, man Pakistan will win the next World Cup I can tell. Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi are the waqar and Wasim of Pakistan now. No need for overrated Amir. From England's side this new youngster Saqib Mahmood will take a 10fer against Bangladesh 👀
 
This should have been a five match series

5 match ODI series have been finished and all the series are 3 match ones in ODI super league. T20Is taking the 3 match series slot in most series have been one of the reasons.

Near the 50 overs world cup we might see some sort of an effort to get more ODIs.
 
The did not run when Babar skied that? Really really poor game awareness if that’s the case.

Oh didn't know that. Thanks
 
Yes quality wise the best knock of this innings

Bit harsh on Babar I would say because that early period in Eng is alway tricky and Babar batted pretty well in that with Imam.

However, Rizwan has been exceptional without a doubt. Did exactly what was required after that base and what the team needed, providing the necessary momentum.

I can't believe people here want sarfraz and Azam khan instead of Riwan.

Pakistani fans want flashy players. Just watch how they will eventually turn on Saud who is a decent find but not the kind of players they usually adore.

Fair enough. Rizwan hasn’t played a single false shot, looked in control and has been chance less. Having said that probably Babar had a lot more at stake this innings.
