Sohail khan is so much like anderson,they swing the ball the shape is aesthetic but they lack pace and late swing.

Even if England get bowled out for 400 its still a doable chase for us.

Obviously here's hoping we dismiss them for well below that, preferably 250-300. One last push, we've worked so hard this series and deserve another win.

If we can dismiss them for 328, 113 to win shouldn't be too difficult

Loool Botham thought we wouldn't even win a game, in fact I remember him saying after the uae series that England would beat us easily!
 
Before the Series, my expectation from Aamir was 100 runs & 15 wickets - has done the batting part, I guess he'll deliver with ball as well. a 5fer here can win him the MoS from PAK side.

Amir doesn't even need to swing it back to hales ,he is going to nick if you ball some across.
 
The one that swing back should be the variation and for cook the one who doesn't swing should be.

Flight is definitely check coming in this innings. Warne hinted that as well, he had spoken to him.

England is already defensive, first time against new ball in this series [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

Excellent tight bowling by both, England clearly under huge pressure. And pressure will force them to make mistakes.
 
We lack a outswinger ,sohail is good at that but after this serie i think pak should test hasan ali he is faster and can bowl inswinger too .
 
English bowlers can learn a thing or two how to target the stump
 
It's a shame for PAK cricket that Sohail lost his best 5/6 years trying to get in to PAK team when PAK played with 3/4 lefties. It's highest level of incompetence for Qasim, who once said that there is not much options.
 
Yup Cookie is surely thinking of a draw here wants to tire the bowlers for the next 15 overs or so ..Misbah should
just keep changing the bowlers around to keep them fresh and eager.

No doubt it, though his domestic performances were always awesome. Same case with Yasir Shah also.

They did same with Sadaf and i am pretty sure they will give him the chance at the age of 33/34 when he is already done and dusted.
 
Wahab has the bigger role today,pitch has bounce,come and bowl fast it zip through.
 
Not convinced England's natural instinct is to bat for time and for survival. They always want to attack the bowlers and play their shots.
 
England playing sensibly , they know once the ball gets old here this pitch has nothing for the bowlers.
 
They are bowling well . . this is a good batting pitch . . it will be a grind . . need to work hard and dare I say . . take catches when they come
 
So england playing for the draw.. Amir should bowl to hales

Clearly England is feeling the pressure not scoring freely as they used to.
 
it's looking flat because these bowlers have not enough pace or height.
 
English players have such a good passion!!! If we have 50% of those passion with fare selection process we would have been world beater.
