England v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Birmingham | Aug 3-7, 2016 | Day 4

Yasir needs to show better control to Vince.
Honestly Vince is like some of out illustrious stroke makers eg hafeez, he just can't seem to take a single.
 
Aek se bhar ke aek tuk tuk hain yeh Angraiz.. bhai agay bhar ke maro takay koi chance tou bunnay
 
Great job by Rahat, keeping it tight for 7 straight overs before that boundary. Almost time for new ball now.
 
Akhar ke zamanay mein phatta pitches pe bhi batsmen ki pack hoi wi hoti thi.. koi bhi ball moh par ahsakti thi
 
Byes are one thing that should be removed from cricket.. why should the batting side get runs when they didnt use their "bats" to get them
 
Vince is starting to become annoying. Think he will come good in test cricket eventually
 
so take the new ball ??

Khuda ki kasam itna lulloo batsman hai yeh Vince, Hafeez se thora hi behtar hai bus
 
Their run rate is still around 3, which is better than what we score at in pretty much every innings.
 
This is the biggest test for the English team.

For all the talk about England's batting depth, their batting pivots on basically two batsmen - Root and Cook. Both have been dismissed and England are in a tricky situation. The rest of the batting needs to stand up and get England to a safe score. Another 1 or 2 wickets and Pakistan are pretty much winning this match unless Moeen or Woakes play a blinder. Their minimum target must be to get to 200. I would say anything under 270 isn't safe.
 
This is where a 5th bowler would've been real handy. We could've rested our new ball bowlers till after tea.
 
Rahat bowls such balls every 20-30 balls.

Edge lagti bhi tou HAfeez ne drop hi karna tha.. acha howa nahi lagi
 
I would much rather have Rahat with the new ball than Amir. Also, Rahat is in a good rhythm, would be criminal not to give Rahat a go with it.
 
If Rahat can just be a little bit more economical and bowl better lines honestly he can become a class test bowler. He can bowl some high quality balls at times.
 
I love how these Angraiz dress up for a cricket match. Lovely

It depens on the team confidence and the batting order. If Azhar is promoted to open it may allow us to chase 300. However, if Hafeez open, his failure will put the rest of the order under pressure which would lead to a collapse. In that case, 160-180 would be the max.
 
Bechara Rameez must be sweating his pants off in that third man chair, thinking of some worthy input lol

And that is why the Indian team is kinda a joke, even when they are dominating and winning. You guys could have a 500 run lead, but cause two days are left, you gets scared that the other team has 180 overs to score the runs, so you better bat longer. 270 is not safe on a potential day 5 pitch? Hilarious.
 
new ball say to out karlo bhaiooo

I have seen more than enough of Rahat.He should at best can be picked for Pakistan A team.He wouldn't have got chance as a pacer in Pakistan A team of 90s.
 
ab Vince ko bhi batsman bana kar chorengay hum.

Hey bud, keep the lid on. This pitch has nothing that should trouble good batting. It was shown by Pakistan's first inning and now even England's weak middle order is going well. On this pitch, 300 is not a impossible score and that many more would agree to.

Of course Indian bowling does not have ATGs like Amir,Rahat and Sohail bowling for them. :)
 
Sohail is grunting furiously and end up bowling gentle medium pace.
