[Front Foot Pull]

excellent innings from both rizwan and babar, as usual.

 

[Justcrazy]

167 is the target , not enough

 

[TeamPak95]

Tuned in a few overs ago. What a dhar phok innings and approach from Pakistan. They were 90 something after 11 overs and decided to send Shan instead of a Khushdil or Nawaz.

Also, why in the belligerent h*ll is Qadir still playing!? Did Shadab get kidnapped!?

 

[Kroll]

167 is the target , not enough

Yeah, game's a bogey.

 

[PakPremi]

None of the Pakistanii batsmen could hit out today. And the bowling will fiind ot hard to defend this especially with Qadir and Dhani in the side and Wasim making a comeback.

We didn't send the hitters when we needed them

 

[Thephenom]

Pakistan will never be successful until they stop playing cricket by numbers, Asif comes on at 3 and he could of pushed us past 200 but Shan who is a opener comes and wastes his time, but after that does Asif come in? no, Khushdil comes in and wastes 3 balls at a strike rate of 118, the lack of brain power from the people in charge is mind blowing!

 

[Kianig89]

Eng to chase it in 16 overs,Babar strategy should be to get 10 wickets I'm 16 overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

Team management mucked this up. Sending Shan there was suicide. Khushdil is hopeless though.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

its obvious isnt it this team would fail 4 out of 5 times and 8 out of 10 times against any decent side be it Big three, NZL ETC

 

[imshally81]

We are 25 runs short here...

 

[Kroll]

What is this, is Pak trying to end this game as soon as possible?

 

[ZaidTR]

Shan paid his tribute to Misbah Tuktuk

 

[Kianig89]

Pathetic tactics by Saqlain n Co. Hopefully hayden will have some authority

 

[Kroll]

Outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Rana]

Salt is a Pakistani level batsman

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Utter disgrace, Baber and Rizwan should get out by10 overs and let middle order deal with it, not that we are winning 80% of the games with either of them staying late in the innings. I feel they cannot accelerate later on as they maynot have enough fitness.

 

[NeVerMind]

Salt goes trying to go for the 3rd boundary... Just shows the different mentality between the 2 teams

 

[Kroll]

Not going to make any difference, Eng will keep going hard.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

4 dot 4 wicket

 

[Rana]

Pathetic tactics by Saqlain n Co. Hopefully hayden will have some authority

Hayden is more than happy to just get fully paid accommodation and luxury dining all paid expenses

He has no say whatsoever

 

[daytrader]

Nawaz strikes! We can still make a game out of this

 

[kingusama92]

Need another quick strike to put England under pressure.

 

[PakFan2010]

Phil Salt is the kind of batsmen Pakistan need.

 

[shamaan]

Is this management stupid or is it me.

Why would you bat Shan ahead of Iftikhar and Asif Ali when you need quick 30s.

Why didn't Asif Ali come ahead of Khushdil ludicrous.

 

[Rana]

I should correct myself

Salt in terms of capability is on the same level as Pakistani players

But intent wise he is far, far superior than our batsmen!

 

[Kianig89]

Asif Ali 13 of 3 better than Shan 21 of 19

Outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan will have to bowl them out in order to win. Unlikely though.

 

[Marooned]

Straight outta hell that catch

Pure filth!!!!

 

[imshally81]

What a catch... Hales gone

 

[shamaan]

Stunning catch

 

[topspin]

2 gifts from England but fine catch

 

[Rana]

Game on I recon

 

[kingusama92]

Nice!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Usman Qadir made an outstanding catch. Impressive & shocking.

 

[topspin]

Not a bad time for Babar to give himself an over to bowl. It's a strange start and it could work.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great start for Pakistan.

 

[Marooned]

If only Asif had been sent earlier

We might actually have had a real good chance.

 

[Markhor]

Outstanding catch from Usman Qadir. Gotta keep chipping away as ENG bat deep.

 

[Rana]

Don’t think they have any decent batsman today after Willey

 

[DRsohail]

Game on I recon

Shan or fakhar at one down?

 

[PakPremi]

Atleast Babar will not play in Duckett witha spinner.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan on top!

 

[Kroll]

out

 

[imshally81]

Bowled emm

 

[Marooned]

Hasnain should have gone full vs Duckett

There is some swing.

 

[Rana]

Shan or fakhar at one down?

None

Babar at 1 down

 

[James]

Pathetic start from Eng. Showing some of their inexperience here. Very naive batting

 

[Marooned]

Hasnain!!!!!!

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan also need 360° players like AB de Villiers and Suryakumar Yadav. Then they will become a force to reckon because their bowling attack is good and top order is stable.

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistani bowling getting the job done.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s game to lose here

 

[Nasty Naz]

Oh wow. Impressive over by Hasnain. Pakistan have the wickets they needed early on to essentially bowl them out in order to win this low target.

Spinners in the middle will be the key.

 

[Kianig89]

On fiyaaa

 

[90MPH]

At least finally Pak are bowling with a plan that is back of a Length.

Shame it took 4 games to come with a plan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

They will keep hitting. No rebuilding.

 

[Rana]

Go for the kill!

Getting 4 in the powerplay makes it near impossible to get 160!

 

[Kroll]

Pathetic start from Eng. Showing some of their inexperience here. Very naive batting

Eng still favs as target is very small.

 

[Kianig89]

Hasnain well done boyaa

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Maybe this wicket is more difficult than we thought, I had put the poor timing down to Pakistan batting incompetence, which is always tempting to be fair.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Ducket and brook is dangerous. Don't drop any chances now.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan and England's batting approach has been one extreme to the other.

This is a crucial pair of Duckett and Brook. Need to break this partnership early.

 

[imshally81]

Where is the slip?

 

[Kianig89]

Where are proponents of Curtly Dahani

 

[Marooned]

Duckett Brooks is the real danger partnership.

Break it early!

 

[daytrader]

Our bowling is the only saving grace. Even though we are playing only 3 pure bowlers, we can still defend this!

 

[Marooned]

Where are proponents of Curtly Dahani

Right here.

 

[James]

Duckett, Brook, Moeen, and Willey need to play this carefully now. Just be disciplined and don’t do anything unnecessary.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Where are proponents of Curtly Dahani

early days, he will learn. Too early to rule him out.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Do england have malan and morgan in WC squad?

 

[PakFan2010]

David Gower is such a good commentator.

 

[90MPH]

Back of length bowling that is accurate and England are going nowhere.

Why did it take this long for them to figure this out ?

 

[Tabishbeigh]

is there supposed to be a man or two in slip cordon ?

 

[Marooned]

Back of length bowling that is accurate and England are going nowhere.

Different pitch.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

early days, he will learn. Too early to rule him out.

Agree, I really like Dahani. I like Wasim Jr. who is bowling now as well.

 

[Markhor]

Do england have malan and morgan in WC squad?

Eoin Morgan has retired, he is finished. Yes Malan is there.
