Pakistan reach 73/3 at stumps in the 1st innings of the 3rd Test against England

[RidiculousMan]

I reckon 1st innings runs will be worth gold.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Noman gets Crawley once again... That was beautifully done by Noman.

 

[Usman Chadda]

That’s a really poor shot from Crawley

 

[batandballbattle]

Gone! Crawley did look troubled against Chacha Nomi

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Noman atleast by the looks of it looks in his 40's

[BouncerGuy]

Can we use the B word? (Bunny)

Yep... in this seris, he has been a complete bunny.

 

[BouncerGuy]

I'm pretty sure I just heard it said that these two Pakistan spinners have now bowled 63 overs unchanged over the course of the close of the Multan Test and the opening exchanges here - quite remarkable!

And now make that 64 as Noman gets through another, his eighth of the morning, to take us through to drinks. Pope yet to get off the mark

 

[Croma]

all 16 overs bowled by 2 bowlers..

Reminds me of work, where all work is given to the hard working employees while the slackers enjoy their tea and biscuits in the canteen

 

[Deewana Mastana]

His finger...ouch!

Give him a rest get Jamal or Zahid on now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doesn't carry to Shan...damn!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This is ridiculous captaincy using spinners like donkeys. That was catchable too

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Field placements need addressing urgently

 

[SpiritOf1903]

GONE?!

Height, hitting?


Plumb!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pope gone lbw given on field to Sajid

He's reviewed it

 

[BouncerGuy]

That looks out.... Sajid

 

[Croma]

Pope gone lbw given on field to Sajid

He's reviewed it

Wohohohohoooooo

OK lets these two bowl till they are carried out on stretchers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Goner

Sajid gets him 3 times in 3 inns

 

[BouncerGuy]

And Pope is one. Good stuff from Sajid this time.

 

[Croma]

Are Pakistan doing better than India?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid has outnumbered Pope 3 times as well.

[batandballbattle]

2 best sweepers at the crease now though

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Pakistan's spinners at close if play

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Is it turning on day 1?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This is woeful captaincy, truly

 

[Devadwal]

Are Pakistan doing better than India?

Nah Pune pitch is playing way better than this one.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Grubbers on day 1

 

[Kianig89]

What is the role of Zahid in the team ,

 

[SpiritOf1903]

AND ANOTHER!!!

Big fish

 

[Ali Active]

root gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid gets another one... Joe root departs

 

[Devadwal]

No highway and no party for a player who is Better than Sachin according to some posters.

 

[batandballbattle]

Big fish!

 

[Ali Active]

pakistan should always go to same template for home matches make spinning tracks and win

 

[hafizexpress]

HUUUUUUUUGGGEEEE

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need two more quick wickets, including Root early

 

[Amjid Javed]

Brilliant bowling by sajid, just what we needed.

 

[zaidihusain]

Fold Eng under 150-160 & then score 500 in next 2 days.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan need two more quick wickets, including Root early

Root is already gone.

 

[batandballbattle]

MoYo's calendar year record looks safe

 

[Devadwal]

Lets see what another FTB can do on a tricky pitch .

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Brilliant bowling by sajid, just what we needed.

Told you england cant play spin mastermind by aqib to prepare spin pitch lovely

 

[BouncerGuy]

What is the role of Zahid in the team ,

He is the guy that we usually select to complete the team..

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Brook and Duckett biggest obstacles left.

 

[batandballbattle]

Riz chirping with 'no more bazball' behind the stumps

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Keep flighting it to Duckie, he'll strangle himself

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Folks let’s remember that it was Rizwan who would always bench Sajid in the KP team in favour of Ifti and khushdil

If it was up to him right now we would have Adil Amin and Usama Mir bowling right now

 

[Croma]

Root uprooted already, I just went out fo a snack...

 

[Devadwal]

Hahaha look's at the reaction of sajid don after delivery

He is looking like villain of South indian movies .

 

[sindhiboy]

England are relying entirely on Duckett. Brook needs to step up now.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sajid is definitely getting more spin on this pitch.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I have become a big fan of Sajid Khan. This guy has personality and 'deshat'

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Average deviation of 3.41 degrees in first 10 overs of a Test match. 2nd highest ever in the history of ball tracking.

Pakistan the land of rank turners

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for Duckett, Pakistan need to get rid of him here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Average deviation of 3.41 degrees in first 10 overs of a Test match. 2nd highest ever in the history of ball tracking.

Pakistan the land of rank turners

Interesting to see how Pakistan batsmen handle this later.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Told you england cant play spin mastermind by aqib to prepare spin pitch lovely

Our batsmen aren't great vs spin either, let's not get to carried away yet

 

[batandballbattle]

Good 50 from Duckett. Has been the only England player to suss the spin

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan need to restrict england around 200.

 

[gazza619]

I have become a big fan of Sajid Khan. This guy has personality and 'deshat'

Yeah not your typical roti gang

 

[AAli98]

Good blueprint to win series in Aus SA bowl nouman & Sajid & Wacca & Centurion for 1000s of overs.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Shan needs to rotate the bowlers. He is risking bowling these two into the ground. There is still a lot of cricket to be played and we are burning out these two.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Duckett has flapped. Gone!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Spoke to soon bout rotation lol ducket gone

 

[batandballbattle]

Goes down as a drop but it was tough. Hit it extremely hard

 

[BouncerGuy]

That kept low and Duckett is gone

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Interesting to see how Pakistan batsmen handle this later.

Yeah the turn is actually increasing. Also, ,low bounce

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good blueprint to win series in Aus SA bowl nouman & Sajid & Wacca & Centurion for 1000s of overs.

Bro we weren't winning there anyway throughout our history. At least now we can stop beating thrashed at home.

 

[Devadwal]

Unplayable.

This pitch is only become harder for batting .

3 day test .

 

[DTrump]

This is where Bazball comes out as one dimensional. On a track such as this, 250 runs is great. Even better, if you bat 90-95 overs to score those runs for it allows the pitch to further deteriorate.

England will swing for the fences and get bowled out for 230 and allow Pakistan to bat on a still decent wicket. Now, Pakistan may crumble too but my point is that the English lack smarts.

The reason England bazball is because they are a low skill team so yeah. Poor look for Root though. His job to bat time here.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

98-4

 

[Romali_rotti]

Lol Joe Root

 

[Devadwal]

Yeah the turn is actually increasing. Also, ,low bounce

Turn and low bounce on 1st session of 1st day .
This is a dodgy pitch.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Unplayable.

This pitch is only become harder for batting .

3 day test .

India alone would bat for 3 days

 

[batandballbattle]

And duckett gone! Crucial wicket

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Im really hoping this match isnt going to be spin pitch heavy and every innings is a collapse, but it seems it looks like.

Im really not favour in these spin-mania pitches

going from one extreme to another

And wasnt Rawalpindi a fast track before they decided to flatten it?

 

[sindhiboy]

nothing Duckett could have done about that ball

 

[Devadwal]

India alone would bat for 3 days

Lol only jasiwal,Pant and Sarfaraz are good player on rank Turner.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Before this Test.


With a PitchViz rating of just 3.3, Rawalpindi has been the flattest venue worldwide (minimum of three matches played) in the ball-tracking era in Tests.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lol only jasiwal,Pant and Sarfaraz are good player on rank Turner.

Now now....
