What's new

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

What is this bowling.. they are going at better than a run a ball since lunch..
 
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.
 
England is too strong for us in the soil just like we are in UAE
 
A wicket will do wonders for Yasirs confidence, he's bowling like a billy at the moment
 
Yeh dono batsmen kuch ziada hi free nahi hou gaye?
 
Come on lads, you are both 'in' now so make it count.
 
Sohail is looking great today, masha Allah. Rest of the bowlers have been worryingly impatient and leaky.
 
Looks like Amir is unfit and should not be featured to play in test
 
Well at least that ball rubishes the claim from people that foot movement can't cause a spike on snicko.
 
No one will care about the series vs West Indies in the UAE, now that we have been exposed in England.
 
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.

the ridiculously optimistic appeals by some of the pakistanis says a lot about the standard of umpiring in pak domestic i reckon
 
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.
 
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?
 
Azhar ali would look more threatening than yasir

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.
 
My earlier prediction seems to be coming true.

One of the weak-links (Hales, Vince, Ballance) to step up in this innings.
 
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.
 
Not quite sure why Amir was giving advice to Sohail Khan, who is a much better bowler than him
 
Yasir and amir have bowled absolute filth

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