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

[#GreenRoars]

what kind of technique is that Sohail lmao

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Pure slogging technique

 

[ExplicitAI]

more positive than Wahab would ever be

 

[asyed]

I wish if Sohail can contribute some with bat, alone with Sarfraz.

 

[Syed1]

Lead up to 77

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sohail will be out lbw if he keeps playing like that

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

come on, get the lead to 110 and survive for another 8-10 overs.

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz is playing stupid cricket

 

[waleed88]

Commentators saying just a heal and this bit harsh but how about when it was harsh with Rahat

There was a delivery before where I felt he was pretty close to the line..
Umpires have been as lenient as they can in Jimmy's case.

Its clear he has trasngressed quite a bit in this game

 

[Syed1]

Single le bhai

 

[dhump]

I have a feeling that Sarfraz would be next one to go.

 

[the Great Khan]

somehow need 23 odd runs..

 

[Vegitto1]

Nice one! umpires take anderson out of attack at the fag end of the innings whereas they will take Pakistani bowlers out half way through.

 

[asyed]

77 runs of lead, just need 23 more.

Sarfraz take 1 on last ball.

 

[Adil_94]

Pure slogging technique

pure tape ball slogging technique I bat like that too

Hopefully Mickey gets on Sarfraz's case to shield the tail after this inning.

 

[Syed1]

Full over for Sohail

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sarfraz loses strike

Already cooking the reasons if we loose it seems

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan can't chase more that 150 in the last innings with ease , Pakistan will have to get them out cheaply.

 

[Prince_]

Why isn't Anderson bowling. Why is he banned? Really, really poor stuff by the umpires.

 

[Adil_94]

Woakes will get Sohail this over

No Sohail is doing a good job shielding him

3 times in 6 deliveries when he was taken out.

Never expected this selfishness from Sarfraz Ahmed.

 

[Muhammad10]

Need some calmness in this situation.

 

[#GreenRoars]

shaba sohail Khan tum hi bana lo...dont expect anything good from sarfraz here.

Haha, hope Sarfi will do some thing yaar. Hopes are alive.

 

[shah_1]

One of the worst technique

 

[Amjid Javed]

Really poor batting overall from Pakistan today

 

[#GreenRoars]

3 runs from Sheer, shabash shabash.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Really annoyed with the 2 run outs and YK giving it away down the leg side. At least 3 wickets we have thrown away.

On top of that you add Misbah's misfortune of inside edge-heal-bowled and even though alhumdullilah we have a healthy lead - I can't help but feel it could have been a lot better.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

its all bothams fault..

 

[shah_1]

80 runs lead

 

[dhump]

good Sohail 3 runs lead up to 80 runs come on we need 20 more here.

 

[Adil_94]

Need To Get To 400 somehow. and England out for under 250.

[ViciousMachine]

80 run lead! C'mon boys, 20 more!!

 

[Syed1]

Shukar.. strike rotated

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

get another 20

 

[Swaraj!!]

Bit surprised at Sarfraz making no attempt to shield the tail at all. It looks like he is saying since its slog time, either of us can have a go

 

[waleed88]

You should watch the game instead of just reading commentary

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Sarfraz is being pathetic.

 

[Adil_94]

how many near misses have we had today with caught behinds.

[Muhammad10]

Love watching bat. Our Graeme Smith.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 more for sohail, lead is 80, 20 more needed

 

[LowKiiSavage]

He is here for a certain purpose. He is not interested in the match.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Don't care about his technique, he's not afraid to get runs in the way he wants

 

[dirk diggler]

Sohail to open instead of the blessed one

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good Sarfi, no need to touch bouncers.

 

[hur rizvi]

Some awesome carry and movement on this pitch today.

Much more than Day 1 & 2

Just after Misbah's wicket!!!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I doubt Sarfaraz's game is built around slogging. That's why he isn't as good in ODIs.

So for him to get boundaries will be tough. However he should focus on placement and getting doubles.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Wow, Sarfraz really struggling.... He needs to calm down a bit and at least take easy singles somewhere in final 3 balls.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz failing to keep strike.

 

[the Great Khan]

everyone calm down for goodness sake..lets be positive here..

 

[Syed1]

Full over for Sohail again

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sarfraz looking clueless out there

 

[hur rizvi]

I dont think Shielding will do anything good here we just need quick runs

 

[Adil_94]

I agree but Younis n Shafiq are experienced bats should have done a lot better. Younis in particular has been very disappointing he was well set should have kicked on.

[#GreenRoars]

Shaba guys, some how make it 100

 

[asyed]

Sarfraz struggling to rotate strike.

 

[Junaids]

The new ball is only 10 overs old. So if the weather stays good today, I'm guessing

Session 1 Drinks: 290-6
Lunch: 330-8
Session 2: Pakistan 360 all out (lead of roughly 60)
Tea: England 40-0
Session 3 Drinks: England 90-1
Close: England 150-3 (lead by 90)

Is that precise enough?

I'm not looking far wrong here..........

True, he is not a slogger. Works the ball around but not good at slogging. At present he has gone into slog mode and he is not at his best in this mode

 

[the Great Khan]

20 runs required..one more batsman to come..

 

[LowKiiSavage]

If we lose the match, God forbid, Shafiq, Hafeez and Sarfraz are to take the blame.

 

[MMHS]

What a wastage of opportunity!!!

There are enough indication that the match might not go happy for PAK - 2 run outs, last ball of Day dismissal, leg-side flick, brainless tail batting.

Not sure why Yasir was desperate to return to strike...........

 

[hur rizvi]

Header from Sher khan

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hit on the arm guard, btw seems no ball

 

[Swaraj!!]

I think the key point now would be how effective Yasir is going to be in the 2nd innings. Will Sohail/Rahat/Amir come good again?

Pitch still doing plenty and a few more runs here and there will just have psychological effect only.

they still have 4th innings to make up for their errors.

[Nostalgic]

It's one of those situations where neither team is happy: Pakistan because we would've wanted a bigger lead, England because they face a deficit.

 

[Adil_94]

half volley very nice shot by Sarfraz.

I was hoping more for 400 & that still may be possible InshAllah - however, it's the throwing of the wickets which I'm annoyed at.
