Pakistan finish Day 3 on 137/8 against England, lead by 244 runs

[Mueez]

Babar should’ve done better there...

 

[Markhor]

Doesn't carry. Really poor shot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This day will belong to england.

 

[Major]

they run three

 

[Firebat]

Again just past the bat for Naseem. Looking dangerous

 

[watson367]

that also looked close to nicking

 

[Zeshan547]

[MENTION=57110]JibranAnsari[/MENTION] Hoping or predicting, considering your past likings and posting trends it seems former.

 

[Mueez]

Need to be patient... wickets will come - this pair is feeling the heat.

 

[Omer Baloch]

The ball is not carrying high enough, slips and keeper should walk in a bit.

 

[Yk313]

Just looks like a session where we may keep missing the edge

 

[Zeshan547]

They are still standing too deep, common sense is too much for our sleepers.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar should’ve done better there...

How exactly?

 

[Major]

naseem looking dangerous

 

[castortroy]

Think Naseem will go for a few

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Wasiim doesn't have answers to the simplest questions about Pakistani cricketers.

However, he knows bowling inside out so technical analysis is great.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Yasir has to bowl well here otherwise this is gonna end in a draw

 

[Mueez]

How exactly?

He should’ve tried to dive.

 

[Markhor]

Very probing spell from Abbas.

 

[Firebat]

If the slips stood closer and they missed a quick catch at their head, everyone will say they should've been standing further away, typical pakistan cricketers etc etc. The commentators said themselves this is a bouncy pitch and nicks usually carry quite far, that was just very unlucky. No need to always panic and jump to conclusions so quickly guys.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Nice attitude from Naseem. That's the way to go.

 

[Yk313]

Need to chirping, and YS absolutely needs to step up today. No let ups.

 

[Major]

i like this bowling parntership. pace and slow

 

[watson367]

Abbas is off now?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can't let them off the hook, need to keep the pressure on dry the runs.

Yasir will be a big player today.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Great bowling this

 

[Firebat]

What a spell this is by Naseem!! Get that wicket come on

 

[Major]

agree with this.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Very good over by Naseem.

 

[Markhor]

This is relentless.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What has Naseem's pace been so far this morning?

 

[Zeshan547]

Pitch is ideal i think, supportive for both bowler and batsman, nothing too extreme.

 

[Yk313]

Btw, what is this chatter about NS’ age? Saw a few smirks from the commentators in the after day discussion when they kept referring to his age and SSA’s.

Our fans can be hilarious sometimes

 

[Mueez]

Great pressure is building up.

Come on boys keep it up!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

If this pair goes through 10-15 overs, they will walk over us. considering yasir is not doing well and shadab is not a great test bowler. I hope I am wrong.

 

[Yk313]

What has Naseem's pace been so far this morning?

88 on average I think

 

[watson367]

bowling has been good this morning. Eng just getting lucky

 

[Omer2002]

How they have survived i dont know but they have and we will get tired for sure ..need wickets for sure otherwise this will be hard work

 

[ManFan]

Btw, what is this chatter about NS’ age? Saw a few smirks from the commentators in the after day discussion when they kept referring to his age and SSA’s.

He is obviously not 17.

Shaheen is legitimate though.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Very good over by Naseem.

Still think he should use bouncers and yorkers to push the batsman back

 

[watson367]

Abbas is off now?

He was just resting nvm

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

Wickets will start falling after lunch.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

It is a batsman's mistake to make, I think.

 

[Yk313]

Rizwan should come up for MA, no?

 

[Kroll]

Abbas bowling at 78, but troubling the batsman all the time - who needs 90 mph?

 

[Firebat]

What has Naseem's pace been so far this morning?

All balls 87-89 mph

 

[ataullah]

Brilliant bowling from naseem..need luck now so many balls going past edge

 

[Yk313]

He is obviously not 17.

Shaheen is legitimate though.

I get that, but I mean how much of an “adjustment” is there? The commentators seemed to think he’s much older. Looks max 20 ish?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

88 on average I think

That is decent. Just need him for 4-5 over spells short and sharp.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Still think he should use bouncers and yorkers to push the batsman back

Yorkers if ball is swinging.

 

[Zeshan547]

Abbas got too greedy, keep up the pressure.

 

[ManFan]

I get that, but I mean how much of an “adjustment” is there? The commentators seemed to think he’s much older. Looks max 20 ish?

Yeah.

20-21 tops.

 

[Markhor]

If this pair goes through 10-15 overs, they will walk over us. considering yasir is not doing well and shadab is not a great test bowler. I hope I am wrong.

I worry Yasir and Shadab will release the pressure BUT given the sharp turn on offer they should be well in the game.

 

[Yk313]

If this pair goes through 10-15 overs, they will walk over us. considering yasir is not doing well and shadab is not a great test bowler. I hope I am wrong.

All depends on YS. Cannot have 3-4 passengers in the side, he needs to step up. Just conscious of how long Buttler will keep his test temperament.

 

[Major]

oh mannn that inswing

 

[topspin]

Wasim "flick the wrist" Akram with some more vintage analysis

 

[Major]

88mph

 

[Zeshan547]

Credit to butler he is playing for his career.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan absolutely need a wicket here. If this bowling storm get passed without a return reward. I can see Buttler and Pope cash on and go big.

 

[Yk313]

Wasim "flick the wrist" Akram with some more vintage analysis

Hahah lol. “I took Flintoff under my wing” was a bit new

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wasim "flick the wrist" Akram with some more vintage analysis

It's all about the thumb position. And of course you gotta flick the wrist.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

It is predicted to be a hot day in UK .... dry pitch. Spinners have a huge role to play here.

 

[Major]

naseem has bowled soo much better today compared to yesterday

 

[the Great Khan]

its looking attritional stuff. I can see england scoring if they dont lose any more wickets.. i want to see shadab bowl today.

 

[Major]

thats a dhol oye, drum

 

[Mueez]

thats a dhol oye, drum

 

[Yk313]

Boy has Abbas been unlucky today. 6-5-1-0.

 

[Ab Fan]

JB and Pope have batted first hour. They will look to post 250+ now.

 

[the Great Khan]

good keeping from Rizwan

 

[Firebat]

Good keeping by Rizwan, up to the stumps and taking them properly still

 

[Yk313]

thats a dhol oye, drum

Aahahhaa

 

[Major]

keeper bought up

 

[uberkoen]

He is obviously not 17.

Shaheen is legitimate though.

He is 17. He's had a bone test.

 

[Yk313]

Aaaaaah so close

 

[castortroy]

Yasir will release the pressure

 

[Firebat]

This spell by Abbas and Naseem has been absolutely fantastic

 

[uberkoen]

I get that, but I mean how much of an “adjustment” is there? The commentators seemed to think he’s much older. Looks max 20 ish?

He's 17. He's had a bone test done. There is no doubt about his age.

 

[Yk313]

He is 17. He's had a bone test.

Really hope that’s true

 

[asadee]

I would start with Shadab to give Yasir an ego challenge

 

[Zeshan547]

just 19 runs in 14 overs today, but the worrying thing is zero wickets.
