The biggest culprit, Shoaib Don Malik and Shan Masood, Bullet Drive will try HARD to not bring in.

Disgraceful stuff from them. DUCKS!

Misbah didn't cover himself in glory either.

I dislike them both but your hypocrisy is shameful.
 
Pak will need to waste a a lot of time, by simulating injuries, sledging, bad light problems - discussions with the umpires.
 
Misbah should have killed time, another 30 mins at least, he of all people should have seen this coming. That's huge mess [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

Hour or so worth of play left. First 5/6 overs are key, bowled them slowly and economically.

Realistically it is 99 off 10. Around 50 minutes to bat. Probably around 10 overs will be bowled. England will do it in near darkness.

Can cook play aggressively?

I highly doubt it.

But the morale would be a definitive factor for England.

But get 2-3 top order wickets and they will be on the defensive.

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.

Yeah but thing is the game was stabilised. All Misbah and Sarfraz had to do was bat time and game was a draw. Misbah had no business playing that shot when he knew after him the tail starts. Especially in such a pressure situation. Yes Masood jas been garbage in this test. But without Maliks 1st innings knock England would have already won by now. Misbah by far played the worst shot of the innings.

Yes they are but Misbah and YK even more so as they were in and played utterly stupid shots to give England a sniff.

Very hard for England even now.

The question is will the ball spin as much as the older ball.

If it does...it would be hard to score fast.

But they defo have got a shot though.
 
I'm actually very excited.

If England actually pull it off then hats off to them.

They have played out of their skins last 3 days.
 
Can some Pakistani bowler suddenly get injured/cramped ? That may consume some precious minutes :D

They can take a cue from Tahirs performance in that Test in SL
 
THIS HAS BECOME THE MOST exciting match suddenly. AHHAHAHA

The beauty of UAE.
 
What the hell happened......I just tuned in :facepalm: seriously WHAT THE HELL !!!

Thanks for jinxing :(

Didn't Pakistan get a Maghrib chase for Sharjah.

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

hat time rule was different - recently PAK has burnt fingers in ZIM. PAK 'll maintain an Over Rate of 10 & then at 5:30 Misbah 'll start walking.
 
From 523/8 declare to 173/all out.

Can we really say Abu Dhabi pitch is dead.

Who would have expected this match to get a result?!?!?!? :D :D Could go either way
 
Zulfi with a stutter :)) Take your time mate.

Few England fans belting out Jerusalem, fair play to them for hanging on there.

Oh Pakistan, what have you done ?
 
Looks like Pak played to their potential. A collapse is always on the cards when they are batting.
 
They're going to run out of time but the game should never have got to this position in the first place. Top order was useless as usual, Younus and Misbah threw their wickets away, Sarfraz batted poorly and didn't keep the strike, the tail batted like a Pakistani tail.

Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong.
