English victory is out of question at this point

What say you [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION] ?
 
Is this batting once wicket if they are unable to get Aamir out we will have huge problems bowling them out here.
 
Such a shame sarfraz is not here instead of younis he would have destroy and shame those fast bowlers by sweeping them instead of pulling and driving.

They are tired and we have the advantage now. Eng isn't famous when it comes to playing under pressure

England give Pakistan more than 150+ to chase and Pak will crumble on 5th day

Yes they do.

I would prefer him to play in dvision one though. Will he be able to improve his inswinger by playing in England?

His ideal County should be Notts or the Roses (Yorkshire/Lancashire), particularly Trentbridge, where the ball swings most in world.

We need to take better care of the ball like England did at Edgbaston and get it to reverse. Hopefully the pitch will start to offer more turn for Yasir on Day 4. Also feels like Amir has one big spell in him this series. Wahab will also enjoy the pace and bounce on offer.

Scoreboard pressure will definitely get to england. A 200 run lead is massive and if Pakistan bowling cannot stop them, they are bad.
 
Azhar throw the third match away,once you are in you can't throw it away two time in row.

You are underestimating a lead of 180+ and still more to come.

As far as I am concerned, only two outcomes remain England looses (likely) or a draw (tough but doable considering batting wicket)

Thank you for providing me wrong Younis bhai. :)

You are not wrong actually, not even Mamoon. At this age YK'll struggle in most matches. But, his game is based on grit & he is extremely fit - once or twice he'll indeed surprise everyone.

Yessssssss that's what I was thinking bro. Hopefully amir gets to Lancashire for the start of the season, and Jimmy is there. Or if he gets a contract at Nottingmshire than Broad is there.

No it will not be easy for England this is highly unlikely that they will have no pressure of scoreboard, but they are better professionals than Pakistan...Although I am sure Pakistani bowlers will feel much more comfortable I guess this is the most comfortable situation Pakistan is for whole series.

I was thinking he would get a century but struggle for the most part. Never did I think he would get 200

I said they will feel scoreboard pressure and that the nus is on pakistani bowling attack to exploit it.
 
I wonder what would Cook and Root do to Pakistan in 2nd innings on this Flat dead pitch??

Yes I was writing while agreeing with you :) I guess it is quite uncommon here these days right ?
 
Pitch must have turned flat as pancakes if you are huffing and puffing to get Amir out.

I watched a bit and nothing was happening.

I looked into the data for Oval and this is one of those pitches where big scores can be made even in 3rd and 4th innings.

But Pakistan have the scoreboard pressure to attack England.

So even if England score big, Pakistan can chase it down.

Its turning into that type of game.

Pak bowlers vs Eng batsmen for the series decider.
 
Batting takes lots of energy - I hope this effort is not draining him. May be, I would have given him 3/4 overs opening spell & then a bit of rest. Benaud often used to bat below Lindwall & Davidson so that after batting, they can have a breather.
 
MMHS said:
Aamir is going to improve his batting big time, if he joins County next year. They'll put him at 8, if not 7 and that should be his FC batting spot.

Does Essex still plays home games at Chelmsford?

He's definitely got no.7 potential, all the more reason with our dire need for a 5th bowler
 
Just woakes bowl good in this serie,all the others bowlers just pass through the motion after the new ball and wait batsmen to throw it away
 
WAO! what an innings Pakistan is playing! No Asian team could do that in a decade i think.What a counter attack!
 
Lead 200!

YK should troll everyone with a 250 inning here and if somehow a 300 happen from hist bat that will probably kill all the hopes of england.

ideally you give England no more than 90 mins / 18 over - so Amir / Sohail will only need to bowl 4-5 overs and start fresh tomorrow

Pakistan is scoring well. Obviously, its because the pitch decided to become flat out of nowhere. Logical.
 
At least england can be verry happy by their fielding today,they save at least 30-40
