[rooster]

That's 4th boundary and 17 runs of he over.

 

[Speedster1]

Big over that one 17 off it! Wahab bowling half volleys

 

[saeedhk]

Pathetic to day the least.

and iftikhar is misbahs class fellow.. or inzimams nephew?

Iftikhar is Misbah's selection, you would be incredibly naive to think otherwise

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This is what happens when selection decisions are made based on yaari dosti

How was this decision was made on yaari. We needed a bowler to support fast bowlers so he was selected, you cant blame misbah for everything what is cheif selector doing he has played for so long and many England tours talking about inzi, he should have selected allrounder from A tour as a back up. Ridiculous stuff from inzi as well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

LOL wahab riaz back in his form.

 

[Kianig89]

Strength to strength eng going

 

[shariqnoor]

England will add 150 more judging by our bowling standards. 420 on the cards

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab is bowling now like Wahab

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Already a tough total for Misbah and Co

 

[Aviator]

50 Partnership by no. 7&8...
And Pakistan's bottom 5 would be sorted out for less than that..

 

[srh]

Woakes on fire thanks to Misbah

 

[Adil_94]

The game is slipping away from us.

 

[badsha001]

woakes rubbbing it in niceeeee

 

[imshally81]

Everything is going in England favor

 

[IAJ]

At least stop the runs if you are mot taking wickets. Poor stuff.

 

[Adil_94]

Yasir has been awful since Lords. Rubbish bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Mo has yas no.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan and wahab losing the plot here big time!

 

[JibranAnsari]

400 possible today. Beautiful batting this.

 

[The_Odd_One]

4 boundaries of Wahab's over.

Rubbish captaincy from Misbah. Let's bring Sohail back and when he is hit for 5 boundaries, then let's cry for Aamir.

 

[Adil_94]

Moeen will make a century before the days over

 

[Square Drive]

Can't believe I've just closed the game.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Woakes on fire thanks to Misbah

Misbah SuperMan hai bhai mere. He is not bowling bowlers are and if they bowling rubbish and you blaming him.

 

[HitWicket]

Guys what did the WinViz predicotr read?

I was away for a few secs, missed it.

England 54.2%
Draw 15.1
Pakistan 30.7%

 

[Kianig89]

Dominant eng

 

[sandsaims]

Need to stop the flow of runs here.

 

[IAJ]

You can have this Englands side 80/6 but they bat so deep that the lower order will take them to 300

 

[rooster]

England is playing Yasir like they did against Tahir.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

That time again when we wait for Eng to declare. That's the attitude the Pak players are showing.

 

[Adil_94]

Moeen is getting revenge for the way we dominate him in UAE. He is the difference between the two teams atm.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Oh Azhar what have you done

 

[#GreenRoars]

FGS Misbah, remove Shah. Use your brain yaar.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Woakes and Ali treating Pakistani bowlers like club level

Time to introduce Azhar Ali or Younis Khan to break this partnership.

However, this game is already lost. 3-1 is 99% probable now.

 

[Kianig89]

Pop gun ponytail #4man.attack

 

[Stark]

Yeh toh one day style dhulayi chal rahi hai..
Exciting chal raha hoga match tchwood.

 

[uberkoen]

Ripping us to shreds

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

You can have this Englands side 80/6 but they bat so deep that the lower order will take them to 300

Which is why they have been very successful.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Absolutely bloody awful

 

[JibranAnsari]

You can have this Englands side 80/6 but they bat so deep that the lower order will take them to 300

more like 400.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Wahab is bowling now like Wahab

Nope, this is due to Misbah's clueless captaincy. He's overbowled him and now he's asking to bowl full which is pointless because he doesn't swing the ball. You have to set a field square of the wicket with close in fielders for Wahab and attack the body.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

My God...this is carnage.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We should not play more than 3 tests , better if only 2.

 

[rollingstoned]

Wahab bowling pie after pie, reminded of Umesh's performance at Australia. And this is after his morning performance. If the day goes beyond 80 overs there's a good chance that England will get 350-400 which Pakistan will almost certainly fall short of after their first dig.

 

[srh]

England is playing at 4.2 run rate

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Selection is to blame. No proper fifth bowler means quicks are not fresh especially with Sohail's lack of fitness and Yasir's form. England know that they can pick off the tired bowlers with ease.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

The selection Of Ifthikar will make MoHa look a better player,

and then Misbah will pronounce Pakistan doesn't have a good replacement for MoHa, hence he will be selected again

 

[JibranAnsari]

You sign up for this in contract when you hire wahab riaz..cant complain.

 

[Kianig89]

An unbalanced Pak side hanging by a thread no margin for error

 

[srh]

Nope, this is due to Misbah's clueless captaincy. He's overbowled him and now he's asking to bowl full which is pointless because he doesn't swing the ball. You have to set a field square of the wicket with close in fielders for Wahab and attack the body.

good observation; Misbah is a clueless captain

 

[Kianig89]

Inside edge

 

[imshally81]

Unlucky

 

[Mr Consistent]

lucky moeen

 

[Kianig89]

Military exercise

 

[Aviator]

Now it's sohail's turn..

 

[JibranAnsari]

18 19 more overs will be bowled ... add another 120 today.

 

[Kianig89]

Really bad a crooked team got 3-1 #2010

 

[#GreenRoars]

Terrible just terrible.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

good observation; Misbah is a clueless captain

People here are pretty clueless about short pitched bowling. They've been brought thinking that only full pitched deliveries get you wickets which is true in Asia but not outside Asia.

 

[Kianig89]

Overrate slow

 

[JibranAnsari]

Moeen will be out in the next over and england will be all out for 316 with woakes not out on 68

 

[Nikhil_cric]

From 110/5 to almost 300. what a heist by England.

 

[Kianig89]

Bad bad stuff

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Misbah better Retire otherwise PAK fans pressure will give him a heart attack and he aint young.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Terrible just terrible.

As I said earlier it's as if Pak is waiting for a declaration. Slow over rate no fighting attitude.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

People here are pretty clueless about short pitched bowling. They've been brought thinking that only full pitched deliveries get you wickets which is true in Asia but not outside Asia.

Very few bowlers can get wickets consistently with short stuff even outside asia.

 

[Kianig89]

Yasir helpless Shah

 

[JibranAnsari]

77 runs in this session in 15 overs. Great batting.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Very impressed with Woakes. He is going to be an ATG all-rounder.

 

[Kianig89]

Warnie

 

[JibranAnsari]

Look at pakistani faces..they want this day to be over soon

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Cook proving his decision to bat first was right...

 

[srh]

75 runs in 13 overs at 5.5+ run rate in this partnership Does Misbah even know this?

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Lets see how pak bats. Suddenly will see pak batsmen playing like the pitch is unplayable

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Very few bowlers can get wickets consistently with short stuff even outside asia.

And he's one of them. Keep him fresh, ask him to bowl fast 3-4 over bursts, get close in fielders and a field square of the wicket and watch batsmen pull him with hesitancy and jump all over the place because there will be fielders in place to catch.

 

[JibranAnsari]

All the runs over 210 will be added o the england lead.

 

[srh]

Misbah SuperMan hai bhai mere. He is not bowling bowlers are and if they bowling rubbish and you blaming him.

Misbah has not supported the bowlers with his captaincy hence he is getting the most blame here

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Cook proving his decision to bat first was right...������

It's always best to bat first if you have a poor batting line up. If Misbah had understood we could have won the third test.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

And he's one of them. Keep him fresh, ask him to bowl fast 3-4 over bursts, get close in fielders and a field square of the wicket and watch batsmen pull him with hesitancy and jump all over the place because there will be fielders in place to catch.

The thing I dont get is that Misbah did this well in the ODI world cup...

 

[The_KING]

Rubbish bowling
