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

Why? If he is fielding at slip or gully it will save energy for his bowling. Look at how Australia developed Warne into a slip fielder and how England have Anderson in slip for there spin bowlers.

guess you're right then...
 
Get them out for a 200 runs lead and Pakistan have a chance.
 
Root is the key here - if he goes early, the rest are fickle and are liable to collapsing under pressure.
 
Come on Sheer Khan, no batsman is big enough for you! Get this ROOT!
 
Need to get root asap. If we can keep the pressure on whoever root is batting with it could cause a mistake from him.
 
Good to see Younis getting involved in tactical discussions. If you can't contribute with the bat then at least provide input on the field.
 
I think we need to stop root from scoring and go all out attack against Vince
 
Root taking most of the strike here so he can get the lead higher and take a little pressure of Vince

I love how the commentators still doubt the field placings, even after they've been proven wrong time and time again.
 
Great start for Pakistan. I love this test match, momentum been swinging between the two sides every day.

Get Root, win the game. Maybe back of length delivery can do the trick.
 
Can i request everyone to stop saying pitch is what and what not. PITCH IS DEADD FLAT. Its all down to the bowling and batting.

It is flat but its abrasive.. Flat pitches can be abrasive and reverse swing can come into play.
 
losing the plan and patience again will ruin the whole thing all over.

Nah - first 2 days was all Pakistan, then day 3 was dominated by England; today has started well for Pakistan but half an hour a day does not make.
