Pakistan v England | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Oct 13-17 | Day 3

[Aman]

England to resume 56/0 in 25 minutes.

Can Pakistan make some inroads into the English batting lineup, or will the match sizzle out to a boring draw?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need quick wickets in early session

 

[ScotRaz]

Oh my, anyone spot Ramiz's shirt ) light blue shirt with what looks like red chillies all over it

Oh my, anyone spot Ramiz's shirt ) light blue shirt with what looks like red chillies all over it

Atleast some spice into the match

 

[Pakcricket89]

My Prediction: Pakistan won't pick more than 5 wickets today. And 5 here is an upper bound, so less than that is highly possible

 

[Logical]

Any reason why Malik hasn't bowled yet ? Especially when there are two left handers on the crease

 

[pasha404]

According to jang Malik is not going to bowl today due to dehydration.and what rubish is this baber.i will be surprised if we get 3 wickets today

Is he fielding ?

 

[Logical]

Malik cant bowl for 90 minutes.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab going full throttle

 

[#GreenRoars]

Fifty for cook

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Cook looks such a good batsman when he's looking to scire runs . Great stuff!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Wahab is bowling really well.

 

[Arsal_AK]

The pace is up as well. Hitting the high 140s.

Good stuff.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Zulfi isn't good against lefties

 

[Mamoon]

No penetration without Yasir. Cookie Monster looks set for a big one.

Wahab always looks good but doesn't take enough wickets. He needs to take 3-4 wickets here.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Zulfi isn't good against lefties

He isn't good period.

Zafar should be playing here esp after he did well in the practice matches.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Positive and confident game by Cook, don't know what Moeen is doing

 

[#GreenRoars]

He isn't good period.

Zafar should be playing here esp after he did well in the practice matches.

I doubt, may be PCB don't send Zafar

 

[Sam1]

Good to see a few no balls have been calledbm by the umpires this morning, nice to see they still have an eye on the line.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab off the field

 

[imshally81]

Wicket Coming Soon!!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahat is gonna take wicket

 

[#GreenRoars]

Rahatay, come on take one

 

[m3nation]

Very frustrating! Come on Rahat!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Epic batting by Moeen Ali

 

[#GreenRoars]

Well, now only Malik can break this partnership.

 

[uberkoen]

Let's get Cook!

 

[Third Man]

You need Yasir Shah to give you a chance on such pitches.

 

[m3nation]

Misbah has become too defensive. Take men off boundaries, make field changes. Let them play shots because there's a chance of them getting out like that.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Brilliant partnership by these two.

 

[uberkoen]

You need Yasir Shah to give you a chance on such pitches.

He was out injured for this game.

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Cook

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bring IK

 

[Robert]

Nice batting so far chaps, keep it going!

 

[Third Man]

I know. I meant to say that it's difficult to get a result on this pitch without him.

 

[Third Man]

[MENTION=107753]uberkoen[/MENTION] I know. I meant to say that it's difficult to get a result on this pitch without him.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Hundred partnership. Excellent job by Cook and Moeen

 

[adnan yasin]

100 up for england

Pakistan now desperately need a wicket or two here to get the momentum back.

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Moeen Ali

 

[adnan yasin]

malik back on the field or not?

he was on drip last night

 

[m3nation]

Looks like Cook is going to make his first century in the UAE. Batting confidently.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good going by England.

 

[uberkoen]

Shafiq to break this partnership now.

 

[Aman]

If this series ends up 0-0 after the 3 Tests..

 

[Asif321]

it proves we are nothing without Yasir

 

[adnan yasin]

Shafiq to break this partnership now.

misbah trying old tactics now to get a wicket from a non regular bowler

 

[Third Man]

It's gonna be a boring draw.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If this series ends up 0-0 after the 3 Tests..

Last time there was 0-0 result in the UAE was 5 years ago

 

[Aman]

it proves we are nothing without Yasir

What happens to Pakistan abroad when Yasir gets somewhat neutralized? Can't expect these bowlers making much use of better conditions, other than Wahab and Rahat infrequently.

 

[uberkoen]

Look who is here

What does that mean?

 

[adnan yasin]

Guys ... just one good session in test cricket change everything. hope for the best

 

[m3nation]

Malik can't bowl till 11:34.

 

[#GreenRoars]

IK in attack

 

[uberkoen]

Imran Khan is in now.

 

[Asif321]

our quicks are good for those conditions not in SC .

 

[Robert]

Vaughan says the wicket has shown no signs of breaking up, at all. Could be hard work for both sets of bowlers......

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why can't TenSports change this music after every break, its getting boring listening to it series after series.

Its been the same for last 1 year. And its very annoying.

 

[uberkoen]

dead as a door nail, this.

 

[run-out]

atleast england bowlers were able to took the edges

 

[m3nation]

Wonder if Masood is fangirling inside because cook is his role model batsman. Maybe he should watch closely and take notes.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Come on IK, need a breakthrough

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finally and edge, but safe.

 

[razabbas]

is it a drop ?

 

[#GreenRoars]

by cook

 

[#GreenRoars]

is it a drop ?

Don't think so

 

[adnan yasin]

Might be last over for shafiq

 

[razabbas]

Finally umar gul strikes

Bye bye Moeen bhai

 

[m3nation]

Wicket

 

[#GreenRoars]

LOL at those people according to whom IK is rubbish

 

[Arsal_AK]

Gone.

1 down

 

[imshally81]

yes

 

[#GreenRoars]

Well done my tiger

 

[m3nation]

Maybe I will stay up a little longer. IK getting fired up. But Bell is in doesnt look dangerous though.

 

[Zahid87]

Moeen bhai is out...I dont know whether to be be happy or sad

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow Ik on a roll

 

[adnan yasin]

Finally IMRAN KHAN got the wicket

 

[Asif321]

IK is our best quick in UAE

 

[adnan yasin]

come on one more wicket now ... let the stumps rolling now

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Finally!
