Loool definitely need some interference now. Or maybe Misbah should just pick up the trophy run out of the stadium like a coward heel :asif

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.

India loss was due to a LOT of factors like over the hill players (4 batsmen no less in Top 7) and useless Ashwin along with fat Zaheer.

England is not invincible in such tracks. They play TOUGH cricket.
 
I do not believe this.

Time for some Moin Khan style time wasting. Karachi 2000 all over again.
 
Feels like i am watching replays. Three wickets gone in exact same fashion against same bowlers caught by same guy.

I mean really, thats weired.
 
The amount of turn we have in this pitch

Bad shots by both Misbah and Sarfraz.

What the hell? I still expect a draw
 
We can win this game. But of course we will try to delay the game and play timidly and lose in the darkness like karachi.
 
Oh damn. This match is OVER NOW :( :( :( :(

two ball two wickets.. lol

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

No, can't. It's a Test match - Misbah can put 9 men on line & Wahab can bowl 6 balls at 5 feet height & 2 feet wide.

Only once in history a side chased 100+ at ~10 - some Viv Richards put 2 feet wide balls over squire legs head, to score 100 in 58 balls...............

The ball is spinning miles. It is impossible to even touch the ball

You've got to admire the character of Adil Rashid.

That's a really gutsy, admirable fightback.

I stand by my earlier comments from Day 1 about Pakistan having an awful Top Three and an awful Tail. You can't survive in Test cricket when you only pick four blokes who can bat.
 
Even if they do get 19 overs in they'll need five an over. Not happening. Should've batted quicker. This is what happens when you don't score your runs quickly when set.

:))) Seth Rollins esque, I think they should do that now while England put their pads on :)))
 
The biggest culprit, Shoaib Don Malik and Shan Masood, Bullet Drive will try HARD to not bring in.

Disgraceful stuff from them. DUCKS!
 
5 an over is gettable IMO.

This is hardly a minefield - just been made to look like one.
 
Get zulfi baba to bowl and malik from the other end

Really Pakistan couldn't waste time like cook. Now It looked cook had a plan in mind.

I really hope Pakistan get on with it. england will try to score quickly....
big chance to get them 5 down.
 
it was poor from misbah to play such shot 5 overs more then danger would have gone

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.

This is Steynesque stuff.

Looks like a teddy bear (at times) and then suddenly ROARS and changes the test match and series on its head.
 
According to odds England are favorite it was 20 for 1 hour a go. now 1.72..
 
England could just open with Ali and Buttler here, and treat it as a T20. Or T10 even.

Misbah played a stupid shot. How did he save it?

I didn't think Sarfi would get out so quickly, and the tail. Sarfraz and Misbah were the only ones standing between a draw and loss, can't blame them much.

Malik scored a duck, Masood 1, YK they're more to be blamed. Not Sarf or Misbah, who also get the blame of poor shots.

The ball is really spinning.

Its not easy to bat on at all.

It was a stupid shot but thats how Misbah bats. Block block and blast.

The pitch has opened up it seems. Will be hard for ENG to score.
 
Lols what happend here? The "settled" team blown away for 170+ in no time?
 
To think Misbah was definitely the last guard.

As soon as he got out the whole team went packing.

hahahaha Imran khan played 6 tasts and hasn't scored a single run. wow just wow
 
Looks like this time England will will win this test series by 3-0!!!! Our batsmen can not play even spin even in a flat pitch. The curator should make more flat pitch for the next test otherwise we will end up loosing that as well
 
By the way it was not Adil who turned down the match it was Moin Ali who got Misbah first and let Pakistan expose their fragile tail to Adil and to him.

How the hell did Sarfaraz play a poor shot? It was an outside edge off a beauty.

Misbah played the worst shot of the day.
 
Umpires will keep the match context in mind if light is the issue. Remember Sharjah vs SL?
 
LOOK AT THE PITCH and turn :)))

Eng ain't chasing this. Mark my words. :P

Didn't Pakistan get a Maghrib chase for Sharjah.

Maybe the time can be extended to get in the remaining amount of overs?
