I know Steyn and Anderson are good.... but in terms of excitement they aren't near Wahab.

Wahab is number 1 on that front.
 
Wahab proving his worth again with a very good spell. This guy is finally consistent now and that was his weakness in past.
 
Anwar ali is probably going to bowl the last. I want to see 6 yorkers straight from him please. We're in a great position right now considering the pitch.
 
Azhar goofed up again - last over by Anwar & that could go for 20!!!
 
I hope Wahab don't get injured/unfit or lose some pace just before our aussie tour. Would love to see him there.
 
5 balls only 140kph+ , fast bowlers?

I'd give the last over to Iftikhar and make him dart it in.......... not so safe with Anwar Ali.
 
Good last overs from Pakistan.

We have a full home series vs West Indies and a 2 Test series in NZ before the Australia tour.

We should rest him against West Indies at least and look to manage his workload.
 
Anwar Ali mate please. If we ever needed you. Now we do. Just give them 9 runs max. Please please please.
 
Anwar I reckon it comes down to him in terms of who goes favourite into the innings break. If he holds 'em to less than 6, we will be favourites.
 
I'd say Pakistan has bowled really well to restrict England to where they are right now, hopefully last over doesn't goes for much

Some fantastic death bowling by Pakistan.

You can't blame England batsmen, Pakistan bowlers have been on the money last 10 overs.
 
Show us Anwar what you got??

good slower bouncer from Anwar, two good balls so far...
 
I'm so shocked how dumb England are. WHy send him in now? Taylor shoulda been sent in ahead of Root
 
Excellent from Anwar till now

Disappointing to concede a four off the last ball, but hats off to the bowlers only 4 boundaries conceded in the last 10 overs.
 
Great death bowling from our pace bowling unit ! Proud Pakistan has bowled really well in the last 15overs !

283-5 in 50overs is very much achievable ! It's on our boys now, need Hafeez and Azhar to open strong !

If I was English, I'd be ashamed of how terrible they batted in last 15 overs.

That's true, Pakistani death bowling is second to none. With five fielders, most team would not score much against us including SA/AUS.
wait till Amir comes back [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]

Just 56 runs from last 10 overs! well done bowlers to pull it back!

Tough chase coming up for pakistan now.
 
I would say 55/45 in England's favour as 280 is still a good score.

It should be a good game though, and Pakistan bowled really well at the end to bring themselves back in it.
 
Good bowling at the death. Also it seems that an extra fielder on the boundary in last 10 overs is making a difference.
 
284 is quite chase able here to be honest. Last match, PAK put 2 dummies in Top 3 still could have chased ~270. I think, it's a better batting wicket than last one which had something for pacers with new ball. It has something for spinners, but ENG doesn't have spinners.

For similar sort of target I have seen a very good tactics by IND (& oblate BD) - never allow the asking to reach. One of Malik or Sarf has to play the MSD role to remain not out at one end. If PAK plans to reach 170/1 after 36 overs - I 'll bet my house that ENG 'll sneak it by 6/7 runs.

This PAK lineup has Iftekhar, Anwar, Wahab & Yasir at 7, 8, 9, 10 - best way to use them is to keep the asking within reach & one set top order to guide the chase.
 
India can't dream about bowling like this in death overs.

But IND spinners on this wicket 'll never allow those Poms to walk at 6/over to reach 200/1 in 35 overs. PAK spinners bowled too fast & tried to many things - trust me, MSD 'll get better out of Raina on this surface than Yasir or Malik did.

We should rest him against West Indies at least and look to manage his workload.

When are we hosting Windies? this Test series is getting delayed since last 3 years.
