Big day coming up , Pakistan need at least 4 wickets in first session.

 

[Belawal2014]

To stay up, or not to stay up is the question.

Too tired, and have a couple of quizzes tomorrow. I'll join you at 7 AM

 

[Pakcricket89]

Pakistan need to Dismiss England at a maximum of 320-330, Even that would give significaqnt advantage to England

 

[Arsal_AK]

Big day coming up , Pakistan need at least 4 wickets in first session.

That will mean, Match and series; Pakistan.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Stay up and support me!

I'll help you out, don't worry

 

[#GreenRoars]

First session will decide the whole day.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab Riaz to start the game

 

[player]

Is it 11.30 . I better start TV and PC both at same time.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good over by Rahat Ali

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to strike here

 

[#GreenRoars]

by Moeen Ali

 

[Logical]

Even for his standards i believe Rameez has had his worst commentary stint in this series. Just his attitude is different when he's partnering with commie legends such as athers/bumble.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rahat Ali.

Cant drop three balls at the same place even if his life depended on it.

 

[Arsal_AK]

What a terrible over.

Undone all the work of the previous three overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

No demons in the pitch , Pakistan played England quicks poorly , and now it will be tough for them , need a miracle spell from someone

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to bring spin from one end

 

[Arsal_AK]

Babar in.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And Missi heard me, Zulfiqar babar on ow

 

[Justcrazy]

17 / 0


7 overs

 

[Pakcricket89]

Negative line already from Zulfi

 

[#GreenRoars]

Spinners from both ends - Malik in

 

[Pakcricket89]

No spin at all

 

[Red Devil]

What a shot lool

 

[JibranAnsari]

England seems to be in no trouble.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Moeen Ali
gifted his wicket to Shobby, horrible shot tbh

 

[#GreenRoars]

England seems to be in no trouble.

Whattay jinx bro

 

[Arsal_AK]

Moen ) )

 

[JibranAnsari]

Moeen bhia departs

 

[Logical]

Barely any celebration from the players, shows the vaule of Moeen's wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Ali gone

 

[Arsal_AK]

England seems to be in no trouble.

Good one.

Need a couple more.

 

[rooster]

Poor shot.

 

[161]

Malik's action in that slow mo replay

 

[Logical]

England seems to be in no trouble.

tu kab sudhrey ga yaar

 

[Naim]

first:wicket
good bowling from malik. he bowled 3 straight bowls then he gave flight to 4th bowl and that bowl spin and he got a :wicket

 

[JibranAnsari]

Isn't much spin at the moment.

 

[Arsal_AK]

That was good from Malik though.

The first three balls were flatter.

He then flighted the 4th one and Moen was a little early on the shot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like pakistan will have a long day. Ball not spinning at all.

 

[Justcrazy]

Getting Moen is not enough , need to get rid of main batsmen

 

[Hawkeye]

Cook's ton on here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor delivery

 

[JibranAnsari]

I think england will easily bat 130 overs. Spin isnt there anymore.

 

[castortroy]

Wow pitch looks dead now.

England could potentially take a huge lead.

Pak will struggle in the second innings again against broad and Anderson

 

[cricketjoshila]

3 more wickets and Pakistan are into the tail.Cmon cmon !!!

 

[cricketjoshila]

Poor delivery

Let the ball get a bit old.

 

[Justcrazy]

Spinner hammered

 

[#GreenRoars]

All eyes on Yshah now

 

[Logical]

All eyes on Yshah now

I think Wahab will be more crucial today than Yasir. There is barely any spin out there.

 

[imshally81]

Any update on Ben Stoke injury ??

 

[#GreenRoars]

Don't go or review, clear not out

 

[Logical]

Any update on Ben Stoke injury ??

Out of the match

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor from England . Not looking to score off the spinners. Will backfire later.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Malik's action in that slow mo replay

Surprised that bilal Asif got called and he didn't.

 

[Robert]

3 more wickets and Pakistan are into the tail.Cmon cmon !!!

Eh? England's #8 has twenty first-class centuries, the #9 got a fifty in the last test, and the #10 once scored 169* against Pakistan.

 

[UpInTheAir]

Surprised that bilal Asif got called and he didn't.

He is damad

 

[zabalestmsm]

Well well so the pitch seems to have changed. Not much spin at the moment.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bell looking good today

 

[Yossarian]

England looking comfortable. Pitch looks dead.

 

[winchester]

Has the pitch settled down or is it just these two making it look easy?

 

[PTI tsunami]

Didn't watch any play yestayrday and was told pitch was turning square just seen some play the wkt looks dead or our spinners aren't spinning it

[#GreenRoars]

Need quick wickets before hundred

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan in deep trouble here

 

[#GreenRoars]

Wahab into attack now

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan pacers have not done anything here , pitch looking better , Misbah made a mistake batting first probably

 

[zabalestmsm]

Also England is playing with 10 players now. Ben Stokes ruled out. A good chance for us to bowl them out quickly if we break this partnership.

 

[Watsupdoc]

So the pitch has flattened out? Which makes the decision to bat first very strange.

 

[Justcrazy]

Imran Khan , Pakistan luck charm not playing

 

[Justcrazy]

Also England is playing with 10 players now. Ben Stokes ruled out. A good chance for us to bowl them out quickly if we break this partnership.

Even without stokes , they have depth in batting.

 

[#GreenRoars]

And they are not reviewing it.

 

[Hawkeye]

Surprised that bilal Asif got called and he didn't.

India's son in law.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Need to break this partnership asap

 

[JibranAnsari]

Misbah made a right choice by batting first but there is nothing to describe our batting against quick bowlers in 30 odd overs. 53 runs in 39 overs and 6 wickets. Even an associate team would bat better against quick bowlers.

 

[#GreenRoars]

50 partnership by this pair.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Root and Taylor yet to bat along with Bairstow. Wow. Strong middle order.

 

[razabbas]

Abhe to root bhe ha
