England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 1

[asyed]

3rd wicket for DON...

 

[aroor]

haha... a wicket with a 37 overs old ball. And hales+Vince failed

 

[ViciousMachine]

What a great catch!!! Hope it inspires the team to fight back!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need Bairstow early. Very dangerous

 

[HitWicket]

Very surprised how quickly Dharmasena gave that out. Expected it to be deemed inconclusive therefore not out after seeing he first slow motion replay.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Finalllly

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Bring on amir from other end yasir looks toothless

If yasir is toothless, amir is gumless

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Now need to get 2 more quick ones

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

good catch, correct decision.

 

[Speedster1]

Nice that was much needed now we need some cheap wickets and were on top

 

[asnsaj]

Sohail Khan to get 5-fer

2 to go

 

[Deewana]

Need Bairstow early. Very dangerous

Yup johnny boy is the danger man here

Sohail has bowled 13 out of 37 overs.

A Lion-hearted effort, while the others have been like leaky faucets.

Amir and Yasir need to step up now, as Sohail has done all the work so far. Credit to Younis for getting that catch right. Was dipping on him.

 

[Mamoon]

Don't want to be a party pooper again, but Sohail is still an average bowler and not the answer to our woes.

Let's not get too excited here only to be disappointed later on.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

4 tight overs and a wicket.

What does it tell you?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Other bowlers need to step up now, especially Amir.

 

[Rana]

England have actually done well so far for a team asked to bat first

 

[asyed]

Now Yasir needs to keep it tight from other end and put pressure on new batter.

 

[nish_mate]

4 tight overs and a wicket.

What does it tell you?

Pakistani pace attack is over hyped

 

[Deewana]

That was a good catch ...but need another

Keep it tight, bowl in good line, and they will throw away their wickets.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Imagine if we had another bowler firing like sohail khan has in this match. Thats been the difference between our bowling and englands

agreed, his wickets have a lot to do with england not seeing any right arm seam for a while i'm sure

amir has to step up with a few now or it's england's series

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need to bowl straighter to Bairstow because he tends to play towards cover when facing Yasir

 

[Deewana]

Harsh for sami to make his comeback (debut ) against swinging ball at Birmingham vs jimmy

now Amir needs to come to the party

I guess no one is saying he is next Ambrose, right? He is bowling good, taking wickets, people are enjoying it.

At least, he is bowling better than our other pacers, and he was the guy which least expectations.

He's doing the job in this game and that's all that matters right now

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

England could be 330/6 or 250 All out depending how we bowl now.

 

[troodon]

Vince is not Test class. Weakest player in England lineup.

Tell something which many don't already know here.

Age is not on his side, and he's not the answer of our questions (he's a short term prospect).

 

[Syed1]

Please make my earlier prediction of 150 for 5 come trueeeee

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Pakistani pace attack is over hyped

It indeed is.

The old Pakistan attack would have brutalized this English lineup.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

2 more wickets before tea will be nice

ENG should be bundled out for 275'ish odd

 

[asnsaj]

Nope, He is a mighty fine bowler.. Come on man look at his action

P.s. been his fan since wc15

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

330/6 in england's dreams.

lol.

England would take 300 all out RIGHT NOW.

Even 275 all out they may take.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

14th over for Sohail khan

 

[Abdul]

Jonny Bairstow seems to hold the bat like a Baseball bat.

 

[Syed1]

With Stokes not playing, the English batting lineup isn't as long as it was in the last match

 

[Markhor]

4 tight overs and a wicket.

What does it tell you?

Indeed, with Amir-Rahat-Wahab we were simply unable to maintain any pressure on the England batsmen. Sohail hasn't even been that economical but if you can't take wickets, at least bowl dry and he has done that - has bowled the most dots out of all the bowlers today.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Imagine if we had another bowler firing like sohail khan has in this match. Thats been the difference between our bowling and englands

You mean Imran Khan?

 

[Syed1]

These two, Moeen and Woakes are the only ones remaining.

Yasir needs to step up here

 

[Syed1]

Aek aur ora deh pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[asnsaj]

Classic Test match lines from Sohail

 

[Markhor]

Jonny Bairstow seems to hold the bat like a Baseball bat.

Looks like he's wielding a lightsaber to me.

not every bowler has to be a world beater
sometimes an average bowler having a good day is all you need

 

[Abdul]

Nice to see Shan Masood carrying the drinks

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If we restrict England to 300 or less I'll be happy

 

[majiz]

ao under 250 justifies bowling first imo, 275 at the very most

 

[asyed]

Have to say it, Amir has been the dullest in this game (maybe in the series too) so far. Needs to step up and same goes for Yasir.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol shot. Let's hope Yasir doesn't lose it like he normally does when he gets hit

 

[Syed1]

Yasir has been utterly useless since Lords. No penetration no nothing..

 

[Muhammad10]

Bairstow is dangerous. Would be nice if Yasir varied his pace and unfurled the occasional googly.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Misbah over-bowling Sohail again. Don't be surprised if he gets injured.

 

[asyed]

Yasir has been utterly useless since Lords. No penetration no nothing..

Both, Yasir and Amir.

 

[Big Mac]

Horrible batting from YJB, what was he thinking? )

 

[hussain.r97]

Another one!!

 

[Adil_94]

what a poor shot by bairstow.

he is a versatile bowler to his credit, there'll be expecting him to chip in with the old ball if not the new

 

[Muhammad10]

Sohail bowling his 15th over. What a legend.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Massive wicket!! What a poor shot

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Out Sohail sohail Sohail

 

[#GreenRoars]

You beauty Sheer
[MENTION=136079]ahmedwaqas92[/MENTION] [MENTION=139664]street cricketer[/MENTION]

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Huge wicket.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

hahahaha xD what a noob !!! )

 

[Red Devil]

Yeh cheeeeeez

 

[Markhor]

That's a rush of blood from Bairstow, trying to play that over the slips and down to third man. A gift for us.

 

[nish_mate]

Sohails bowling should teach Pakistanis for once and for all its not all about speed.....

its not the miles but the mileage!

 

[Abdul]

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Sohail bowling his 15th over. What a legend.

Misbah overusing him

 

[Syed1]

Sher Khaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Muhammad10]

4th wicket for Sohail. Literally carrying our bowling attack. Where are the haters who thought the WC five-fer against India was a fluke?. #TalkNah

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sohail bowling his 15th over. What a legend.

And people in start were saying he won't last more than 6 overs )

 

[aroor]

into tail now. Bring back Aamir for Ali

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wow, Sohail Khan!!! If somebody had told me this guy would take 4 wickets in the entire match, I would have been excited!! 4 wickets in barely half a day, amazing!!!

Go Team Green!! Under 200 Eng all out please

 

[Pete Rose]

Bairstow playing a Sarfaraz type innings.

 

[asnsaj]

Sohail Khan to get 5-fer

1 to go

 

[Abdul]

Massive wicket, and fourth for Sohail Khan

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Right

Our batsmen give plenty of gifts, its good to receive some in return once in a while..
