Pakistan down England in thrilling World Cup encounter to end 11-match losing streak

[JibranAnsari]

Wahab's figures are not doing him justice! He has been absolutely fantastic. Best bowler this match from either side, I kid you not!

Wahab is all energy , very little brains. If he had targeted stumps more , could have gotten more wickets.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Back to back tight overs... Lets hope the pressure brings us those wickets.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Again sarfraz goes into defensive mode.

 

[Markhor]

Been a killer partnership for us.

I'd bring Amir back now instead of saving him for the death otherwise it'll all be over soon.

 

[Plumb]

Need just 1 wicket...

 

[Ronaldo7]

A win here for Pak will make the WC very interesting. If England wins, this will become predictable.

Pakistan will lose all hope if they lose today.

 

[AdamM97]

Next over is crucial now!

 

[Fineline]

No pressure on the batsmen whatsoever!

 

[troodon]

We cant even defend 350 anymore seriously? We definitely need to overhaul the whole team setup after this....

Pitch is as flat as it can be. Ball coming nicely on the bat with nice even bounce. Its a Buffet pitch.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan needs to find reverse swing some how.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has got through 10 overs from Malik and Hafeez here , now need to go with frontline bowlers

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali looks pumped up.

 

[zn426]

Don't think England is unbeatable. If Pakistan can cause problems for them today and make them sweat out a match, then there are other teams that are certainly capable of beating them. Besides, if Pakistan wins then they're in real trouble. ENG has some chinks in their armor which can be exploited at any stage.

nope these two are not wilting under pressure....its going to take a great delivery, freak catch, or supert run out.

 

[Plumb]

If Root makes a 100 that will be the difference. Someone from our top should have made a 100. Need Amir and Hasan from both ends

 

[Madplayer]

Hasan Ali looks pumped up.

I feel if he picks up 1 wicket he will run through them.

 

[Fahdi]

Match is in England's hand. If they don't do anything silly they'll be comfortably over the line

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Rameez and co talking about Love Island on the bbc TMS commentary lol.

 

[troodon]

Pakistan will lose all hope if they lose today.

I am rotting for Pak here. Hopefully they can pull it off. They just need Butler in the next 2 overs.

Still 143 runs to score. One wicket can bring in 2 wickets.

 

[JellyBro]

i would give malik an over. He usually is good at breaking partnerships

 

[Hasan123]

Things slowing down at the moment. Won't go on for much longer.

Someone’s been watching naughty stuff during Ramzan.

Agreed!!!!

 

[Afhan Ali]

No pressure on England

 

[srh]

Pakistan need a wicket taker, I thought Shaheen and Husnain would do that

 

[Madplayer]

I think time has come to bowl yorkers only.

 

[zn426]

Things slowing down at the moment. Won't go on for much longer.

Slow downs mean pressure. At this stage singles serve a similar purpose to dots.

 

[Plumb]

Need to ask Arthur what was the plan against Buttler???

 

[Abdullah]

Can one of the lefties try a round the wicket yorker pls

 

[ViciousMachine]

Not sure if you are posting this again, but every 2 overs, somebody keeps posting we need "Butler in the next 2 overs"....

 

[ExpressPacer]

Wahab is all energy , very little brains. If he had targeted stumps more , could have gotten more wickets.

James Anderson gets the majority of his wickets in the slip cordon. Is England's best ever bowler brainless too?

You bowl aggressive lines, you have an aggressive field setting. Simple.

 

[Markhor]

RRR could climb to 9 and 10 but its meaningless if they still have wickets in hand with the boundary hitters they possess.

 

[Titan24]

Pak just needs to keep bowling decent balls and let Eng hit on those good balls

 

[PennOne]

Only Australia has it in them to beat England. Its not easy to score against Cummins and Starc for English Top order. Aus also has enough fire power to match England's batting. But Aus has to be at their best to beat England.

 

[Hasan123]

Bring Amir on.

 

[mon858]

both sides playing waiting, game. pak waiting for wiket to come somehow, england is waiting for bad ball to hit boundary not taking big risk.

 

[imshally81]

Oh lucky again

 

[ViciousMachine]

app to genius niklay

Hahahahaha!! Good one

 

[shah_1]

Buttler's wicket is the key

Next 4 to 5 overs will decide the game

 

[PennOne]

England will still win if RRR goes up to 12-13 at this point of the game. need wickets

 

[zn426]

RRR could climb to 9 and 10 but its meaningless if they still have wickets in hand with the boundary hitters they possess.

Indeed. Do or die here.

 

[Hasan123]

Slow downs mean pressure. At this stage singles serve a similar purpose to dots.

Buttler is still there though.

 

[Green Patriot]

Desperately need a wicket.
Can not contain them.

 

[Titan24]

Irrespective of anything atleast Pak has played good cricket today

 

[Markhor]

Amir back. Hopefully he can capitalise from the pressure of a few dry overs.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Amir is genius under pressure

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir back.

 

[James]

Could be a very close one this.......

 

[Hasan123]

No slip. Pathetic.

 

[Asif321]

This is easy now for England

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Buttler's wicket is the key

Next 4 to 5 overs will decide the game

The game is gone sadly, this partnership did the trick for them

 

[ViciousMachine]

Cmon Amir!! We need you to get a wicket, and Sarfraz, give him a slip pleaseeeeee

 

[imshally81]

Beauty

 

[jnaveen1980]

Going to be a cliffhanger

 

[Madplayer]

What a shot

 

[Afhan Ali]

What a shot from buttler

 

[ExpressPacer]

Little Amir can do operating in the 120's.

 

[PennOne]

Irrespective of anything atleast Pak has played good cricket today

I was afraid of posts like this. 12 matches lost in a row....chalo kutch nahi hota. hota rehta hai....

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan are losing if we don’t get wickets quick

 

[troodon]

Still no slip for Amir.

 

[usmankhanmlg]

Sarfaraz doesn't agree with you. He is thinking on another plane.

 

[Plumb]

Buttlerrrrrrrrr whatta player... need his wicket.... Comon Amir

 

[Afhan Ali]

It is hurting

 

[Inswing]

Man we are losing this

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Buttler thrashing amir

 

[Shafi]

Bowler like Sakib, Tahir or Jadeja or even Lyon would be different.

 

[Sirris]

Babar dropped Roots early on, can't forgive him

 

[Justcrazy]

Butler hammering Amir

 

[JellyBro]

oh no amir

 

[Green Patriot]

Amir releasing all the pressure.

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries

 

[waleed88]

Amir bowling half trackers

 

[Markhor]

Buttler cutting loose. Getting that sinking feeling.

 

[troodon]

Butler producing a Gem here. OMG!

 

[Chokli]

Why the heck is mid on in the circle

 

[Asif321]

We can say good bye to game

 

[Afhan Ali]

Too difficult for us now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is it powerplay?

 

[usmankhanmlg]

Desperately need a wicket.
Can not contain them.

Sarfaraz doesn't agree with you. He is thinking on a different plane.
