Need to pepper stokes arm with shortballs here and get quicks on.
 
life is not fair, Wahab runs in, gets nothing, Malik sends a few tweakers down and takes wickets :p
 
I have to say this is pretty ordinary captaincy why would you bowl Malik and leak runs?
 
This lead is getting anoying now we need this last week asap.
 
How's he looking? Any discomfort? I don't want him to bat.

His health more important than a win.
 
Ben Stokes would run through a brick wall for his country.. and for England too! haha
 
advantage england, pak conceded the maximum they could possibly get away with i think
 
Malik legendary bowling got 4 wickets.

Best bowler for Pakistan :yk :malik
 
Chucker picks up 4.

There's some definite chuck in that wicket :))

4fer for Malik.

I said at the start of the series that he will be a lot better than Babar and so far thats been the case.
 
well done malik, now we need to wipe the england lead with out losing a wicket or one at worst.

We need to bat and get 300 so we can set england 200+ to win
 
Opening stand matters a lot, lets see of they can write off the deficit.
 
Match in even now Pakistan need to score something around 350 here and bat 3 sessions.
 
Chucker picks up 3.

There's some definite chuck in that 3rd delivery :))

Its 4 wickets actually.

And as for the chucking part, bravo. It cant be because he bowled well. Must be everything else under the sun.
 
The pitch has a lot of grip and turn for the spinners it would seem. Rashid and Samit will be useful in these conditions but I think Pakistan have a big ask. Atleast 300 is needed on the board
 
Won't be comfortable with a lead of less than 250, need a big batting effort and avoid loss of early wickets.
 
Ohhh I missed we are in day 3 that makes it interesting Pakistan need to bat and bat pile something around 400 here nothing short is safe.
 
An open letter to our batsmen:

Please bat confidently against fast bowlers. And dont be scared.

Thanks.
 
Lead is not that much massive, i hope our batsmen will perform better. Need 250+ target to win this one.
 
The batsmen must not think about lead at the moment. Must think about ending the trail as soon as possible, for now.
 
This reminds me of Dubai 2012 (the last test).

Pak were bowled out cheaply and then Eng took a lead, not too big. We had a similar situation then, bat long in the third innings.
 
So stokes was fit enough to bat but is not fielding now, why not? as far as am concerned if you can come out and bat then you should be fielding as well. I think pakistan should make a complaint here.
 
Hafeez is a walking wicket. He looks like a deer in headlights outside the offstump.

Relax Amjid bhai. Ham baray dil walay log hain. :afridi
 
Azhar is so out of practice. No clue of his off stump. Not a thing which you associate with him. Usually he is very compact.
 
England bowlers working just outside that corridor of uncertainty of Pakistani batsmen.

The MAIN and BIG difference between the pace bowling of the 2 teams and their success.
 
Today you will face reverse swing yorkers and high bouncers from Malik fans. Be ready haha

Party badal gaye hai. Now Malik will be compared to bowlers. Stats will be shown to prove he is one of our top bowlers and batsmen of the series. Then they will say he is the player of the tournament :ghalib
 
200 with this out feild on a turning pitch will be really tough for England.

Yasir has turned some square already on day 3.
 
our openers need to be positive here, cant just plod along here.
 
Hafeez gone for a review?

Is there enough evidence to overturn it?

Yea it looks like he is not out and Bairstow didn't look to energetic either.
 
Haffez is always good to waste review and such a useless player in test
