Azhar and Asad have a fantastic opportunity to show that they deserve to be in this lineup ahead of Umar.

Shafiq played well in the first innings of this match but the shot he played to get dismissed was atrocious. Time for redemption.

Ali has had a quiet series after a long time now. He has played innings under pressure in the past, but let's see if he can do it against the top team

The pitch has no demons here - no excuses guys!
 
Every ball of Monty looks dangerous!

Nasser believes Pakistan probably has the worst tail in the world. Thank you.
 
I think Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq are alright batsmen but nothing special. I don't think they have that X factor in them like Inzi did or Yousaf.


However. This is their chance to prove me wrong. Of course, not their only chance, but a very good chance.

we need to get umar akmal in here instead of shafiq
 
Nasser just said after akmal its the worst tail in the world.......absolutley correct.....pak tailenders should take note!!!
 
worst tail in world to come says nasser :adnan


This just goes to show how quickly people forget! Pakistan's tail did fairly well in the first match. Of course, it does not come close to comparing with England's tail, which is barely a tail at all, but our tail is not THAT bad (although they were shockingly bad in the first innings of this match!)
 
What ? Now Revers swing as well? What the hell was Junaid Khan doing in the 1st innings?
 
this is poor.....just plodding along till a good ball with ur name on it is not the right way to go! needs to be some kind of attack!

Our tail is good. Our mentality when we're seven down is horrible.

It's statistically proven - they average like 18 for the last 4-5 wickets, which is worse than the likes of NZ.

Their top order currently has the best average (England are second) which is why they're still doing well in tests.
 
Maybe this'll be the match which Pakistan re-think their tactics.

Only good can come out of a series loss.
 
I think we need to play wahab in last test and also bring in umar akmal for last test, for who? am not sure in umars case.
 
Monty has been the difference, shows we have not done our homework on him. Don't think anyone thought he would get a game after the first test.

Shows when our batsman ae playing him dont have any plan
 
Our seamers have forgotten the art of Reverse swing . they need to learn it from England seamers
 
Decent crowd, they deserve better. Come and Asad and Azhar!
 
W0000000 Pakistan lead by 0 runs now!

0/4

We have done awesomely after losing 4 wickets early in the past - here is another chance for our middle order to shine.
 
game not over yet guys if pak can some how get a lead of 150 ajmal can play a big role
 
Lead wiped out! would have taken that 2 down but not 4!

Massive massive task ahead still here!
 
We take the lead! Now with each run taken and every passing minute the pressure will mount on the English :)

first target completed england will have to bat again no lets get a decent score to defend
 
Not that we will get it but 150 would be something we could defend. Anything else would be a cake walk for england.

If they get a few more wickets they could wrap up a win today!
 
Lead is 2, drip by drop, need to push up as close to 200 as possible.
 
Batting in the fourth inning will be a herculian task for the English.

I would bet my money on Pakistan if they can manage a lead of 150-175.
