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

[Muhammad10]

Vince has the talent.

 

[Syed1]

What is this bowling.. they are going at better than a run a ball since lunch..

 

[Syed1]

Need a few quiet overs..

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

bring amir back?

 

[uberkoen]

Mickey Arthur's words will come back to haunt us.

What words?

 

[Aviator]

Seriously need a wicket here..

 

[Syed1]

Another fourrrrrrrrrr.. Im losing it

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

is it a good batting wicket?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Conditions are easy for batting , need to tighten up.

 

[Syed1]

Yasir Shah started to believe his own hype

 

[James]

RR of 4.25 runs per over and increasing too.

Pakistan need to sort this out. It's not like they're bowling to Hayden and Slater here. It is Ballance and Vince.

 

[Shafi]

England is too strong for us in the soil just like we are in UAE

 

[Nikhil_cric]

38 runs in 6 overs after lunch. England putting pressure on pakistan already. Great fightback.

 

[asyed]

Last 10 overs 50/0 @ RR of 5.00, this is alarming.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good delivery Sohail.

 

[Markhor]

Beauty from Sohail. Need to break this partnership.

 

[shaz619]

A wicket will do wonders for Yasirs confidence, he's bowling like a billy at the moment

 

[Abdul]

Sohail Khan is our last hope.

 

[IAJ]

Yeh dono batsmen kuch ziada hi free nahi hou gaye?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yasir will average 30 plus at the end of the series.

 

[hussain.r97]

What a beauty from Sohail!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Nice over. Yasir needs to keep it tight now

 

[Robert]

Come on lads, you are both 'in' now so make it count.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Better

 

[asyed]

Good over by Sohail.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Finally a maiden after 28 runs in 3 overs ....

 

[uberkoen]

Amir's gone off

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Rubbish bowling

 

[Muhammad10]

Sohail is looking great today, masha Allah. Rest of the bowlers have been worryingly impatient and leaky.

 

[hussain.r97]

Need to keep the pressure on. More maidens needed.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Amir is unfit and should not be featured to play in test

 

[Abdul]

Pakistan losing the plot.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Amir has been a let down

 

[asyed]

Good going, 2 consecutive maidens, this is what needed.

 

[dauntless]

Sohail needs to bowl tighter and tighter

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistanis just going through motions , why don't we see any bouncers?

 

[Adijazz1706]

Sohail bowling Wahab's no-balls just so we don't miss them.

 

[HitWicket]

Well at least that ball rubishes the claim from people that foot movement can't cause a spike on snicko.

 

[Mamoon]

No one will care about the series vs West Indies in the UAE, now that we have been exposed in England.

 

[Adil_94]

What words?

that Vince and Ballance are weak links who are under pressure and our bowlers will be after them when we haven't exerted any pressure on them and bowled a lot of pies to give them easy runs and allowed them to settle in.

[majiz]

the ridiculously optimistic appeals by some of the pakistanis says a lot about the standard of umpiring in pak domestic i reckon

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

England will score 350 plus

 

[Mamoon]

Unless Sohail gets a wicket or two with the new ball (which he did today), he's not penetrative due to his lack of pace and struggles to take wickets with the old ball.

 

[majiz]

Amir has been a let down

yeah, hasn't even managed to chip in

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Shame to see such rubbish bowling.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pak would have been 100/5 by now

 

[Big Mac]

No one will care about the series vs West Indies in the UAE, now that we have been exposed in England.

Much like the English don't care about this series, after they were exposed in the UAE?

Or like the Aussies not caring about test cricket after being exposed in Sri Lanka?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

2 wickets needed asap

 

[uberkoen]

Shame to see such rubbish bowling.

You do realize that you're repeating yourself, right?

 

[Deewana]

Azhar ali would look more threatening than yasir

Need to break this partnership boys. Do something.

 

[giri26]

England are scoring really quick here. Pakistan needs to build pressure by some tight bowling, they can get couple of wickets soon. Both Cook and Root gone, the rest of the batting is inexperienced.

 

[Mamoon]

My earlier prediction seems to be coming true.

One of the weak-links (Hales, Vince, Ballance) to step up in this innings.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Folks need to calm down here. This is test cricket. This session it has become easier to bat. This is what happens when you choose to bowl first. If your seamers had taken 1 more wicket in the previous session it would've been advantage Pakistan. Need to keep it tight now and make England work for their runs.

 

[asyed]

Com'on boys keep it tight...need some wickets...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sohail Khan being overbowled here. Pace going down.

 

[Abdul]

Not quite sure why Amir was giving advice to Sohail Khan, who is a much better bowler than him

 

[Salman]

Sohail Khan make a lot of noise for his 80 mph.

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Sohail bowled 13 over out of 36

 

[Deewana]

Yasir and amir have bowled absolute filth

SHer Khan you beauty

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That's out!

 

[hussain.r97]

Gone!

 

[Markhor]

Yeah that's a clean catch. Well taken.

 

[Red Devil]

That's outttt

 

[Rafay Shafiq]

Unless Sohail gets a wicket or two with the new ball (which he did today), he's not penetrative due to his lack of pace and struggles to take wickets with the old ball.

Happy

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Out.

 

[nish_mate]

Sohail Khan make a lot of noise for his 80 mph.

As long as he keeps on taking wickets, he can make as much noise as a halwais f r t

 

[Markhor]

Just what we needed, this partnership was looking dangerous !

3 for Sohail now.

 

[majiz]

pak still need another one soon

 

[Deewana]

Bring on amir from other end yasir looks toothless

He hasn't been penetrative with the old ball, but good wicket this. Vince was looking good.

 

[yasir_shah_fan]

catch by younus

 

[Abdul]

Big wicket for Pakistan, as the partnership was starting to look threatening.
