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

[hur rizvi]

Oh that shot deserved more than Zero

 

[dhump]

For the target to be 200, England have to score 300. Do you really it is possible on this pitch now?

do you think they will collapse again in 3rd inning. I don't see wicket doing anything special as of yet.

Wow! Congratulations Pakistan on winning this one. Terrific performance

 

[big_gamer007]

This is just wasting time, Sarfaraz should go berserk rather than wasting overs..

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

What if england make 350

 

[LowKiiSavage]

No even the commentators are saying it is bouncing and swinging..

I personally am not sure if its true.

Scoring more than what you managed in the first innings is always a very very very tough ask

 

[hur rizvi]

No one is sure about how the pitch is behaving. Its just the tailenders are making it look really and some shambolic batting from Pakistan.

Ball has moved around more than Day 1 morning today probably due to less windy conditions

we all know England is better than what they did in 1st innings so not difficult to think they will do better.

300 in 3rd innings will be a collapse?

 

[dirk diggler]

Any chance of a 4 4 2 4 6 1 over from safraz

Shouldnt it be more wind = more swing?

 

[Markhor]

This score is the highest by Pakistan in England since the 504 at The Oval in 2006.

 

[hur rizvi]

Not on 99 MAte

apart from Root and Cook England batting till now has looked pretty thin.

I would be nervous if we chase anything above 150 and I dont think England will get out under 250 here.

Rahat has got a promotion - next innings, should bat ahead of Sohail.

Survived

Dont know but According to botham and Holding England were quite happy with Less windy conditions

They have depth and good boatsman's in the side and you have to take all this in equation.

Sarfraz should set an alarm and sleep on the pitch. the more English player are on the field the better it is for us.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Why is Woakes not bowling?

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Rahat has got a promotion - next innings, should bat ahead of Sohail.

It is because he actually bothered applying himself in this innings.

 

[hadi123]

This partnership has been half an hour now, this is good we are frustrating English bowlers. They're getting tired now and also frustrated

Yes there is a nervous barrier but 200 or less PAkistan are favourites

225 or more England are favourites

250 or more Beyond Pakistan

English wickets normally doesn't crack, therefore if it's a sunny day, probably up to 250 is chase able. But, that can't be with 2 top order getting duck as not every day other 2 would put 200.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Whatever little I have watched till now, I found Pakistan's game to be much better than England.

England's bowling apart from Woakes is bad. Finn's bowling is horrible barring the odd delivery.

I do think Pakistan are front runners in this game even with a 100 run lead.

Yes it's usually but do keep in mind that England batsmen made a lot of mistakes in the first innings and gifted their wickets instead of forcing the PAK bowlers to earn them. Quite a few batsmen started well but couldn't manage to convert them into big one.


Hopefully they won't make the same mistake in the second innings.

 

[HitWicket]

Wind probably disturbs the seam position of the ball in its flight and throws it off from being upright.

Thanks, the key word is application, not capability.

I dont know what you are thinking but I don't think Pakistan will be able to chase 250.

100 runs lead shukar hay.

I think Wind Blowing across the pitch helps swing but may be wind is blowing from One end of the pitch to other end.

 

[hadi123]

Lead over 100 now, let's get 400 runs in total and also Sarfraz needs to get a 50

 

[aroor]

three digit

 

[Amjid Javed]

1 more run needed!

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Hmm, well, that could be one possible explanation for it.

 

[dhump]

dropped by Cook lol.

100 run lead. Yesssssssssssssssss

 

[hur rizvi]

Cook drops the match and the Rahat

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I think Chief Destroyer said

more win = shape of seam disturbed = aids less swing

 

[Amjid Javed]

Get 400 would mentally be a good thing now.

 

[pak4life]

Sarfraz needs to try something different. Rahat will not survive long.

 

[dhump]

Rahat relaxed as soon as lead got 100 absolutely sad mentality.

[Speedster1]

Dropped catch at slip haha

 

[Markhor]

That's a dolly. Rub of the green for Rahat.

 

[LowKiiSavage]

Lead of hundred. Shabash.

 

[aroor]

Finn is cursed

 

[hur rizvi]

As solid as a Rock

 

[hadi123]

Hopefully that drop plays on Cook's mind when he's batting and he gets out early otherwise no hope for Pakistan

 

[FreakCricket]

Woooooot dropperrrrr

 

[Speedster1]

Captain cook got a lot on his mind

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Sarfi needs to play shots now. Pak not getting anywhere. 1 run per over.

 

[Mahmood101]

Well done cook, hopefully we can squeeze a few more runs now!

 

[ExplicitAI]

3 figures lead and a drop!

 

[Syed1]

Are you serious? We are a HUNDRED RUNS ahead

Yup, quite a few players from England r badly out of form and they r looking quite weak and vulnerable to be completely honest.

Besides, they r missing some key players too.

 

[Mahmood101]

Should just attack now

LOL almost feel sad for him.

[marlonbrowndo]

Cant really bash Sarfraz for not hitting biundaries. 8 people on the fence! What he can do is get 2s somehow

 

[hadi123]

These two need to bat till after tea

Hes been doing that for quite some time. Getting burnt.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Pakistan should open bowling with Sohail and Rahat

 

[marlonbrowndo]

8 men in the fence mate. These guys are doing fine. He hits it in the air and hes out since he doesnt have the power to clear the boundary. Every run is valuable

 

[Major]

Just tuned into the match, tell me two things

How misbah got out

Why isnt anderson bowling?

 

[ExplicitAI]

What do you guys think the right approach should be now?

Who is out of form and who is missing ??

Stokes is missing apart from him ?

Misbah got bowled by an inside edge whereas Anderson got three warnings for running on the danger area

Lol we are the best Test team in the subcontinent. Take it like a man. Youre a Bangladesh supporter btw arent you?

Any chance for Cook to miss Oval test? Terrible over rate
