Wickets don't mean a great deal, they will help waste time BUT England should still win this

Nah, they're going to run out of time. They'd need to go at 8-10 an over to win this which isn't really going to happen. If they lose another wicket or two they'll just shut up shop and shake hands on the draw.
 
Well [MENTION=7774]Robert[/MENTION], now I really wish we still had KP in the team. Nailbiting now!
 
Poor thinking by Misbah with the bowling.

They are not going to spin Pakistan to victory against us.

In 1987 in England Pakistan was in a similar situation in the Fourth Test at Edgbaston. Imran Khan and Wasim Akram bowled all 16 of the overs and bowled very, very wide down the off-side and leg-side - almost every ball would have been a T20 or ODI wide.

It chewed up a lot of time due to their long run-ups and they saved the game.

Wahab and Rahat should be bowling from one of the ends.

Wahab and Rahat are no Imran and Wasim though. They're both notorious for spraying it around and could go for runs. Besides, the ball is turning a lot.
 
No rush bowlers take ur time change fielding every 2 'balls gey a silly point helmet somebody to fake injury

Agreed we need some LOOOOOONG run-ups. Better chance of eating up time.
 
It occurred to me that Pakistan should have reviewed their decisions....would have wasted more time

That was different time - now if you do that Umpires 'll call wide for negative bowling. Besides - Imran/Akram & Wahab/Rahat are not exactly same proposition ....
 
If England lose 2-3 wickets they will go for a draw

Cook is a very negative captain himself.

This Malik guy is real opportunist - I see him pick 1/2 more with ENG going crazy.
 
Wahab should be given the ball, he should be running in from the boundary and right at the delivery point 'mess-up' the run-up and stop just before delivering the ball :yk
 
Why aren't we bowling with a seamer. This is the Noobish time wasting tactics I've seen ever

Just shout for a wicket at the next chance and take an unnecessary review to waste some time.

Maybe he should collapse during the run up itself :)) then we get YK to do the special pakistani malish while he is on the ground
 
England needs to go at almost 10 RPO to have a chance.

If Pak can get 2 quick wickets, England will shut the shop.
 
26 minutes - ENG should stop wasting wicket. Already a massive moral win - normally visitors struggle on 1st Test & goes to 2nd Test 1-0 down. PAK is living by the edge.
 
Malik should be bowling round the wicket imo
