I hope Amir rips through England now and gives a shut-up call to all
 
Match entering in dangerous territory now. If we get them out for another 100 10 overs into day 5 then will be very very interesting.
 
Yess this is the swing we need

There we go! Now please rip them apart, this is the last real recognized partnership. Get this now, and the tail is less likely to wag past 200.

Let's leave the bashing of Sohail for after the match , he is the sole reason we are in an interesting position.

Only if Amir gets his variety back he will become an excellent fast bowler. He is already the most complete in the country.

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.

This wicket is a belter and one I don't see deteriorating too much anyway. And it's not like England have a Yasir or Ashwin or a Lyon in their ranks. Pakistan have shown in the past that they can chase 350 scores on the 5th day.

It isn't impossible to score 270 imo.

Yeah only once.
 
I don't like sohail bowling to left handers. He looks far more dangerous bowling to right handers.

Pakistan back in the game with wickets.

England played 2 bad shots and screwed up their advantage.

Now they have to slowly rebuild again.

If they lose wickets at regular interval and with a target of 250...it would be literally a 50-50 game and if Pakistan start great, England could lose the test.

That's the value of those 2 bad shots.
 
Somebody should find out whoever told Sohail to get this muscular and not let that guy coach another youngster ever again
 
We need a wicket before tea. Can't let them settle down. They are going in pairs ,let's hunt them down.

He hasn't even bowled that badly. He's not been amazing but he gets better after his 1st spell.

Yeah it looked like he had a bit behind the line on second glance yet beefy is saying it's another big no ball. the epitome of bias

exactly what i was saying earlier. England if they had half a brain would counter attack- dont back Pak to chase over 260 and thats only a 100
 
Anything under 200 I fancy our chances and anything over 200 would be a miracle if we are able to pull it off ..

Abhi bhi itni batting baqi hai

These two then Moeen and then Woakes.

We need 4 wickets at least
 
Sohail khan completely loses any steam after every first spell of the day , a lot like shoaib Akhtar except much much slower

By that logic, it is not impossible to chase 400+ in an ODI either, because "somebody did it before".

My point was, England are clear favourites - check any oddsmaker. In the entire history of cricket, few teams have chased 270+ on a day 5 pitch. Off the top of my head, I cannot even remember the last time Pakistan has done that in England (if ever). But I can list plenty of times Pakistani batsman have completely collapsed in a 4th innings (Remember the 2nd test? A couple weeks ago). My other point was, that Indians are the most defensive team in the history of any sports. I could see you being scared if SL needed to score 900 to win, because they scored 900+ once before in an innings (given they had enough overs to chase it).


Now back to regular programming, GO TEAM GREEN!!! One more boys, get into the all rounders.

that was only after Akhtar had pumped up too much after 2008. In his peak years Akhtar had pretty decent stamina.
