Pakistan battle to save an innings defeat against England as they reach 152/6 at stumps on Day 4 of the first Test

[Rana]

Saim cuts like Sharjeel

 

[aukhan]

As I said earlier, this pitch will become a minefield for Pakistan batters.

Our batting can even collapse against an associate team on a flat pitch. I never had any doubt that this is a possibility.

 

[Hellion]

King karlega?

 

[Hellion]

Woakes bowling cutters.

With an average of 17, Pakistan barely last 50 overs in their 2nd innings.

Yea shocking stat given that they played a lot of home Tests.

 

[AAli98]

Enters Nepal E Azam

 

[Hellion]

Pope nearly reviewed that for 0:14

 

[emranabbas]

Still have Bobsy the king and rizwan the bradman

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar is 8 runs away from 4000 Test runs.

Still have Bobsy the king and rizwan the bradman

Yep. Abdullah Bradman and Shan Shakespeare are already sitting in the pavilion

 

[shaz619]

Like night follows day PAK collapsing under the scoreboard pressure they themselves created by preparing this highway (made worse by a poor bowling unit).

Don't mind losing provided the cricket is somewhat entertaining. Instead we have the worst of all worlds - on top of losing we have lifeless pitches, dull matches, terrible broadcasts and dated grounds.

Forget new fans, why would existing fans take leave off work to watch this time and again ?

Mate, I wouldn’t even watch this lot in the background while WFH

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not an experienced bowling attack for England. So getting shot out by this attack on this pitch will be a new low for Pakistan. They could still draw the Test like Razzaq and Kamran did at Mohali long back.

 

[emranabbas]

Yep. Abdullah Bradman and Shan Shakespeare are already sitting in the pavilion

Oooh that was touchy

 

[shaz619]

Saim cuts like Sharjeel

Great minds think alike, safe to say the real ones are only tuning in for him, once he is out time to pack it up

 

[kron]

Congratulations to Brook. Great innings.

Can Pakistan save this Test?

They will.

 

[kron]

Abdullah fatigue.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Babar to score fastest 300, Pak score 500 in 50 overs, bowl out Eng for 80 runs in 20 overs.

 

[James]

Being made to look like minefield now

 

[shaz619]

Carse can play the 90MPH bouncer role in Mark Wood’s absence. Potts can’t really do that

Carse has easily been the quickest bowler in the match and has extracted the most bounce from the pitch. Baz era always spot on with their strategy and don’t pick the team based on what’s recorded on cricinfo

 

[Rana]

Now pitch playing funny games

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Babar should score a century and save the test, pitch is still quite good. Surely pak can't lose after scoring 556

Between pak vs eng , whom do you usually support

 

[Asif321]

Losing after scoring 500 plus got to be the most humiliating one

 

[mominsaigol]

Ji Shan Ki tasali ho gai? Goat Kaptaan Gya?

 

[nish_mate]

Zimbar to save the day for Pakistan... coming to the rescue the king of hard runs

 

[Asif321]

Babar is 8 runs away from 4000 Test runs.

Time to declare public holiday in Lahore

 

[Kianig89]

ICC should seriously think about cricket future in Pakistan , beyond shambolic 6/0 loading for Shan, does he has any pride left

 

[nish_mate]

Babar 0 off 8 balls, get a move on this is not a T20

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Will never get old.

 

[imshally81]

Wicket coming soon

 

[AAli98]

Woakes away from England is pretty much useless as it gets.. pak warriors have turned him into Malcolm Marshall.

 

[aukhan]

King karlega?

kia?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Atkinson trundling in at 131 kph.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

 

[RehanG]

Babar is 8 runs away from 4000 Test runs.

well not in this match.

 

[castortroy]

Babar gone

Such a typical collapse

 

[imshally81]

Finally

 

[Devadwal]

Haha bobsy the king gone for 5 runs

 

[aukhan]

lo g king ne karlia.

 

[jnaveen1980]

King came , saw, vanquished

 

[mominsaigol]

Atkinson trundling in at 131 kph.

King ko aura dya. Sabar, he dismissed the greatest pakistani batter of all time

 

[Mesozoic]

King kar liya

 

[Nikhil_cric]

King gone. On a pitch where 550 and 823/7 were scored , Bobby scored 30 and 5.

 

[angrypathan]

Babar is done.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Patheticcc

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud the myth, the legend walking in. This is where his real test is.

 

[Hitman]

Babar provides more comedy than Venkatesh Prasad did back in his days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should have sent a night watchman in place of Babar to see off the day

 

[mominsaigol]

Pakistan should have sent a night watchman in place of Babar to see off the day

Their still like 2 to 3 hrs left? If this was sarcasm, I don't get it.

 

[nish_mate]

Badshah Babar ei ki kitta

Lanata Lakh Lananta tenu Zimbar

 

[BouncerGuy]

Send Naseem Shah in. He is a better batter than all

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Pakistan cricket converting a highway into day 5 pitch on day 4!!

 

[RyanRyan10]

Babar Fuss

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan should have sent a night watchman in place of Babar to see off the day

Naseem the batter> Bobsy the King.

 

[jnaveen1980]

4 down 41/4 generational talent gone

 

[imshally81]

Saim gone too

 

[castortroy]

What a collapse

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Will we get to day 5??

 

[nish_mate]

Sabar Zimbar... this too shall pass

 

[mominsaigol]

End of international cricket for Saim Ayub

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

oh boy !! Pakistan are useless

 

[angrypathan]

For that shot he shouldn’t play international cricket for a year

 

[aukhan]

hahah man this is embarrasing stuff.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Congratulations to all those who preferred cowards over warriors. We are now officially a minnow side no if ands or buts

 

[shaz619]

This was Ramiz Raja just moments earlier while describing Babar’s Cover Drive with no words off course:

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Please don't ever stop playing Test cricket, Pakistan.

 

[batandballbattle]

Had enough of this so called king
Should be dropped for the next test but of course he'll get a full series run

 

[mominsaigol]

Will we get to day 5??

No

 

[jnaveen1980]

Teams have lost after scoring 550. Australia did once. Bangladesh did once. But those were not innings defeats.

 

[Devadwal]

Saim Tulla gone too .

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Rizwan pair IA

 

[BouncerGuy]

End of international cricket for Saim Ayub

Hopefully, in red-ball

 

[mominsaigol]

Please don't ever stop playing Test cricket, Pakistan.

Shan Masood has to break the undertaker streak in reverse.

Undertaker is 25-2.

Shan must reach 0-26

 

[RyanRyan10]

Rizwan will save Pakistan and @mominsaigol Will get angry on me for praising him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Next test Stokes will come in. That is going to be even harder challenge for Pakistan. Pope is a conservative captain.

 

[AAli98]

Players know they can get away with these performances. There’s no accountability PCB chief himself is a crook.

 

[Hikaru]

"It can't get any worse" isn't a thing in Pakistan Cricket. It can always get worse, pathetic performance.

 

[shaz619]

Let's see. Will be the coup of the century if PAK manage to draw this.

You should listen to me Bruv, you’d be a very wealthy man placing a wager on these numpties predictably collapsing

 

[Devadwal]

Please don't ever stop playing Test cricket, Pakistan.

True warna kon entrainment karega .

Commander in waiting at crease.... the true master of hard runs
