Don't you have 15 overs from the start of the final hour, minus two overs for a change of innings?

Wouldn't that mean that in spite of there currently being officially 23 overs left, the maximum number of overs for England if both wickets fell now would be 13 as the final hour has just started?
 
How long till we have to drop these useless oldies like Babar & Misbah. These 40 year olds should not play for PAK

It was an Afridiesque shot tbh. Just a rush of blood you would expect from a noob

So shouldn't some of the "fans" that suddenly appeared in here be praising him for being brave and courageous and having lustrous hair and fighting like a cornered tiger? :Afridi: :))

Thought the foreshortening effect might make the umpire give it not out, it looked a clean catch to me in real time.

Sarfraz shouldn't have given the strike to Zulfi tbh
 
Misbah and Sarfraz had the game under control. One rush of blood and this happens.

Oh come on this was not a clean catch, ball touch the ground.

What's up with third umpire, first misbah first innings and this both wrong decision. What is the point of DRS????

Baba has no talent, no energy, no heart, no desire, no passion.

Why is he playing for Pakistan? What a disgrace.
 
Misbah has to take some blame for this regardless of the result. No face saving this time. Can't go defending this mediocrity.

I'm really happy for this siniario.... As this match was as dull as a bad dream. After all test matches are the one which give you some pleasant cricket.

The ball sure is spinning a lot. England might be in trouble if they have to bat lol.

I am not an Afridi fan though. it was a brainless shot. Irresponsible and not needed. Sarfraz running was atrocious too. Why expose Zulfi to Rashid who is bowling very well. With the team under pressure.

They need a few more millions in their bank balance before the retirement.

The moment England come out, they're gonna start creaming Rahat for boundaries

Something like that yeah, we wont have 90 overs of play today and England will have to go at a T20 rate to win this

We may see another controversial finish here, similar to the Zimbabwe match. :srt

Bah gawd what is going on here?! What's Mohamaad Amir doing in the Impact Zone! (after he takes of his mask to reveal himself having won the game for us) When England bat, aamir is going to get a 10fer with a Rahat Ali mask on :)))
 
Sarfraz looking clueless here. Moeen and Rashid. Bowling like Saqi and Mushy

What on earth is Sarfraz doing, does he have a rat up his pants or what :facepalm:

Calm down, please aaj dhoka mat dena.

Ali will blast something like 30 from 18 and give England the victory

We don't stick around for another 7 overs minimum and we lose
 
Haters have a moment to cheer after having a bad day at the office, courtesy a duck. :yk
 
Sarf just commiting hara kiri but looks like Pak is safe.

Toooooo hard for England to win. No time is there.

And some of our fans were saying he is better than Dhoni. Dhoni has more mental strength than our whole team.

Thanks, that's 10 minutes & 2 wickets & may be time for 5 overs. I think, PAK has saved the match.

They can chase it down in 5 overs. They have 10 wickets in hand after all.

Agreed on both counts, just funny to see the usual suspects come steaming in with no appreciation of the irony.

Foreshortening effect (google it, it's a real thing) caused by cameras above ground level makes clean catches look like they hit the ground. No controversy here.
 
Draw. Bad lights means finish around 17:45 pm
10 minutes innings break
Pakistan bowl slow - around 12 or 13 overs to get 100.
 
Adil is running through this line-up like a hot knife through butter.

Imagine if we had Yasir here :srt
 
Moments like these bring out the worst inside people - can see who is a true 'hater', calling words for the guys who tried to save the match and has saved the match.
 
PAK 'll not beat ENG on such slow wickets - even IND couldn't. ENG is not like AUS that they 'll go crazy to maintain a RR of 4. Also, Jimmy is a bowler who beats batsmen in air, even on flattest of wickets he 'll trouble with new ball while PAK pacers 'll need 1st 35 overs even to come into the game.

PAK's best chance is to play on dry wicket with a bit of bounce so that reverse swing & the leggi comes into play.
 
Match will be extended to get a result. Only thing that can save us is bad light. Or if we cat out the minimum remaining overs.
 
Game over. Rashid bhai bowling England to victory. Game over

This is what Adil Rashid does in county cricket.

He's pretty innocuous on any wicket until it breaks up on the final day, but he's very effective on crumbling pitches and against tailenders.
