England v Pakistan | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 11-15, 2016 | Day 1

[Square Drive]

Bring on Iftikhar.

 

[Aviator]

Soon this partnership would be over 50 and than 100..
They will let it slip, like they did in previous test.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We have lost upper hand in the innings already , good batting by england. We had a chance only if got them out under 225.

 

[hur rizvi]

TAke one of them off atleast. No pressure at all

 

[dhump]

Please be pro active Misbah your bowlers are bowling filth....He is just too rigid with planning which is horrible considering how bad our batsman's react to any semi decent total.

 

[Kianig89]

Dearly missing a 4th seamer

 

[Chief Destroyer]

We have lost upper hand in the innings already , good batting by england. We had a chance only if got them out under 225.

Go whinge somewhere else man.

 

[asyed]

These two again rescuing ENG.

 

[Kianig89]

Whats Mickey arthur paid for PKR 4million per month

 

[Kianig89]

Bouncer

 

[hur rizvi]

Sohail and Yasir should never bowl together again

 

[Kianig89]

Losing iiinitiative

 

[dhump]

Sohail Khan I was correct about you in last test.

 

[the Great Khan]

drop em all..need to get england for 50..wait...oh erm

calm down people england bat till around number 8 or 9 so we should expect their lower order to fight..

 

[asyed]

Shoot, they're playing with so much ease again, not good.

 

[Kianig89]

Expecting too much from Wahab

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Why the hell is Iftikhar playing if he's not gonna bowl? Misbah again overbowling his main bowlers without much rest.

 

[Markhor]

Overstepping, dropped catches. Sloppy stuff from Pakistan despite the 5 wickets.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng about to pass Pak' par score

 

[hur rizvi]

Wahab's once a series spell is gone. England can relax now

 

[asyed]

I think Iftikhar should be given some overs.

 

[Kianig89]

Iftikhar is a bit-pieces

 

[James]

How did we lose 5 wickets already? The Pakistan bowling looks pretty ordinary to me.

 

[Kianig89]

Pak out of steam

 

[hur rizvi]

We are getting battered by Moeen ali of all people since last 3 innings

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

drop em all..need to get england for 50..wait...oh erm

calm down people england bat till around number 8 or 9 so we should expect their lower order to fight..

Especially when they are allowed two lives like Moeen.

 

[Kianig89]

Very frustrating

 

[pak.cricket]

very poor captaincy

 

[Aviator]

This is frustrating...
Seriously, u can't get Moeen out?

 

[hur rizvi]

How did we lose 5 wickets already? The Pakistan bowling looks pretty ordinary to me.

Pretty ordinary effort other than Wahab's once a series spell

 

[Kianig89]

Defensive team selection while saving series

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

How did we lose 5 wickets already? The Pakistan bowling looks pretty ordinary to me.

Wahab did them with pace in a couple of overs. That's how Root and Vince got themselves out.

 

[Kianig89]

Yasir back again cut

 

[GreenKnightRises]

England's session.

 

[Shafi]

Picture of the 3rd test. But this time they look even better. Don't think we will get any of them today

 

[hur rizvi]

TAke off Yasir FGS

 

[Kianig89]

Next series is witj WI

 

[pak.cricket]

How did we lose 5 wickets already? The Pakistan bowling looks pretty ordinary to me.

our fielding is more ordinary than our bowling

 

[hur rizvi]

Ridiculous stuff from Yasir

 

[Shafi]

This is frustrating...
Seriously, u can't get Moeen out?

Moeen is better than any of our batsmen

 

[Kianig89]

Whers the 4th seamer

 

[Kianig89]

Moeen will be dangerous come 4th inn

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Relax Pakistan fans here. Pitch has died down now, we have to bowl tight overs here to get wicket now. Moeen ali ain't push over he is a decent batsmen.

 

[hur rizvi]

Brilliant Innings from Bairstow

Game slipping from Pakistan

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Please be pro active Misbah your bowlers are bowling filth....He is just too rigid with planning which is horrible considering how bad our batsman's react to any semi decent total.

one of the most defensive captain cook has two slips for moeen when azhar was well set .. but misbah never had that even for jimmy...

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Rubbish captaincy and drop catches from Azhar affecting Pakistan's cruise

 

[Kianig89]

Big let off

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Brilliant Innings from Bairstow

Game slipping from Pakistan

already gone! should have been bowled out for 160

 

[Kianig89]

Wkt plz

 

[Kianig89]

Build pressure frm both ends

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Misbah you lulloo, get a short leg in.

 

[dhump]

Relax Pakistan fans here. Pitch has died down now, we have to bowl tight overs here to get wicket now. Moeen ali ain't push over he is a decent batsmen.

We are no relaxed because of drop chances wickets on no balls and all that bakwas.

 

[Kianig89]

Barstow for 100

 

[hur rizvi]

already gone! should have been bowled out for 160

225 is max, beyond that game is gone. 225 and beyond is certain though

 

[asyed]

Yasir gives at least a boundary ball in every over, he must work on it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The wicket off a no ball and the dropped catch proving costly now!

 

[Kianig89]

172/5 40 runs too many

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Ponting or G. Smith would have wrapped this up under 150.. that is how smart captaincy works...

 

[hur rizvi]

Relax Pakistan fans here. Pitch has died down now, we have to bowl tight overs here to get wicket now. Moeen ali ain't push over he is a decent batsmen.

No he is not a decent bat at this level. Pathetic bowling to him in last 3 innings

 

[Kianig89]

We can only win by having a 150+ lead n thats looking a distant dream

 

[Mo Dipsy]

Given that these 2 should have been out long ago, every run feels like a dagger through the heart. Painful to watch

 

[Red Devil]

Still can't get over that Azhar Ali drop. When will these guys learn to take a freaking catch?!

 

[Markhor]

Picture of the 3rd test. But this time they look even better. Don't think we will get any of them today

A win in the 3rd Test was out of our reach when England cruised along in the evening session on Day 3 and Day 4. However The Oval does take turn so hopefully Yasir won't be as ineffective as he was at Edgbaston.

Don't want Pakistan chasing more than 200.

 

[Aviator]

Yasir is making sure that we don't miss rahat...He is giving a freebie every over..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Eng will get to 270+ at any cost which will be mission accomplished for them.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Yasir bowling much better this match. Good line and loop, still needs a bit more deception in flight.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Misbah you lulloo, get a short leg in.

[MENTION=57110]JibranAnsari[/MENTION] .... take note...not only me saying misbah is a defensive captain...

 

[Kianig89]

Bashed

 

[hur rizvi]

Moeen has been all over Yasir. PAthetic bowler

 

[Adijazz1706]

Ye do parsu jaise halat na laayen

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yasir getting hammered, but great Misbah continues with him because he has taken wickets three test matches ago. Brilliant!!!

 

[Kianig89]

Eng session

 

[hur rizvi]

Eng will get to 270+ at any cost which will be mission accomplished for them.

300+ looks on at this rate and no venom in bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Woakes is a good batsman

 

[hur rizvi]

Need Amir to replace Wahab before tea

 

[Kianig89]

Eng have a strategy

 

[Kianig89]

Build pressure fronm both ends

 

[Aviator]

Lost an opportunity to knock them below 150...

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

300+ looks on at this rate and no venom in bowling

Could lose 2-3 wickets in quick time. But in general a score over 270 will be good here considering pak can not chase anything over 150.

 

[hur rizvi]

Yasir should have bowled much lesser in this session. Useless Day 1 bowler
