First off all great bowling by our bowlers, once again they proved that PAK is a force to be reckon with by their bowling. wahab was awsome today, great bowling and others were good too. now the reason braod n prior still batting is becoz the sun is out and this pitch is totally flat now and ideal for batting so thts why harami broad still hanging out their. now we should try and close their innings asap by 200 runs or so then bat n try to score some heavy runs. a 150-250 lead should be good and since its a btting track hope moyo n hameed gets a ton here.

yea but we had them 70/7 and by letting them getting these runs is crushing the momentum we had

Need to break this partnership, we have almost lost all the early advantage

Almost?? From 94-7 to 200-7 and you say almost?? Its advantage England now mate. They have got out of jail and can look to be close to and top 300. And they know that we wont top 150 in either innings.
 
Fantastic shot for four. I hope Prior gets another century. arguably England's most improved player. one of the first names on the teamsheet behind Strauss for me.
 
I think Butt should put in some unorthodox bowler.

Someone like Umar Amin now to break the partnership, I am not sure who that would be in this case, Farhat?
 
no pakistani player in cricketer of the year award. shouldnt aamer be there?
 
If England get 250+ its match over. Remember we cannot chase anything in the 4th innings with or without Mohammad Yousuf. England are fully aware of this too!
 
another seriously good shot. loving watching this.
 
Match has gone 50% out of our hands by looking at our world class bating line up :(
 
spanked again,looks decent pitch once the old and there is no express pace, need to think out of the box, come on salman
 
this has been the best possible response from Broad after his antics in the 2nd test. he looks completely capable out there. maybe the much-needed kick up the bum he needed has made him a decent test cricketer once again.
 
Some thoughts...

- Suppose England get 300 - which they likely will.

- We have to bat last on the wicket.

- England won't bat as badly as this second innings.

- Does anyone in their right minds think a) we can top 300 in a test innings and b) even if we do score over 300, it will not be a lead and we will chasing a score batting last.

WE HAVE NO CHANCE.

question for the england supporter why isnt prior your keeper for T20 ?. why is it kieswetter
 
would have taken 200-7 at the toss..even day if you ask me..if we bat decent we can make a match of it!

Aye, Prior is justifying his position in front of better keepers such as Foster in scoring heavily against a good attack. I'm glad Broad has returned to form - he looks terrific when batting well.

Resilient batting team, this.

Better yet, whats the point of watching Pakistan cricket if you think they are just going to lose every match? Like its the month of Ramadhan, surely he has better things to do than watch a losing team, no?
 
england will probably get to 250+ now.

If they get to 300, it will be a difficult match for Pak

I think Prior is a very very good gloveman as well. he's been pretty much spot on under the two Andys. I can't remember any real howlers, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Resilient batting team. not had one of those for a while, could be a key difference for the Ashes, already has been here and in SA.
 
i hope umar akmal makes a century. I like when he makes runs. makes the future look bright
 
why no pak bowlers getting into face of broad. i just saw wahab smiling at broad but immediately backed off like a sissy. why not they say something to him, ignite him, make his head hot by saying stuff.
 
broad looks tentative before his 50.

Our best chance to get him out now..!!
 
Thank God, finally wahab pitched it up in this session and gets Broad.

Congrats on the 5-fr
 
shame, he deserved a fifty. good knock though. hopefully the tail supports Prior to his milestone, he's been superb.
 
I think getting injured is worse then having bad form. injury automatically gives your place to someone else
