Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 3

[zabalestmsm]

Must bring Wahab to Stokes.

 

[Watsupdoc]

What stupid field setting is this?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to pepper stokes arm with shortballs here and get quicks on.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Lets hope england spinners dont do any damage when they bowl.

Its looking good for spin already.
While anderson having a wicket within 5 Overs.
Only yunis can save this sinking ship.

 

[Watsupdoc]

And Malik continues...

Bring on Wahab!

 

[MarkCooper]

life is not fair, Wahab runs in, gets nothing, Malik sends a few tweakers down and takes wickets

 

[UpInTheAir]

Must bring Wahab to Stokes.

We have big hearts..

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yaar what bakwas bowling is this by Malik.

 

[MarkCooper]

Lead by sexy 69

 

[dhump]

Not using Malik earlier was a crime it seems.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

misbah making sure only broad will have strike.

 

[rooster]

For a change Broad is protecting Stokes

 

[zabalestmsm]

We must end the trail quickly first. Our openers must start positively.

 

[battler]

Barbie adding some crucial runs!

 

[zabalestmsm]

We have big hearts..

But we need big brains this time [emoji14]

 

[razabbas]

Abey yaaar each and every run is so frustating

 

[Watsupdoc]

I have to say this is pretty ordinary captaincy why would you bowl Malik and leak runs?

 

[ChachaCricket]

life is not fair, Wahab runs in, gets nothing, Malik sends a few tweakers down and takes wickets

Tell be about it man. A stick like Malik has 3 wickets with minimal effort.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Stokes looking good.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Need a Yorker somewhere in there as well.

 

[Hawkeye]

life is not fair, Wahab runs in, gets nothing, Malik sends a few tweakers down and takes wickets

Why aren't you in Barmy army?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Ouch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This lead is getting anoying now we need this last week asap.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Cmon wahab. Rip him apart

 

[badsha001]

wahab ne sahi pel di

 

[rooster]

How's he looking? Any discomfort? I don't want him to bat.

His health more important than a win.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wahab is bowling rubbish to Stokes

 

[Raw deal]

Did stokes just spit at wahab?

 

[JilaWatan]

Lol wahab... No mercy

[MarkCooper]

Ben Stokes would run through a brick wall for his country.. and for England too! haha

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Did stokes just spit at wahab?

They are good at that

 

[ChachaCricket]

The hell was that? Didn't bowl a damn yorker.

 

[razabbas]

4 fer for malik

 

[Watsupdoc]

Malik the best bowler on show? ) )

 

[badsha001]

another vatta by malik

 

[majiz]

advantage england, pak conceded the maximum they could possibly get away with i think

 

[ChachaCricket]

Advantage Pakistan.

 

[dhump]

Malik legendary bowling got 4 wickets.

Best bowler for Pakistan

 

[waleed88]

Chucker picks up 4.

There's some definite chuck in that wicket

 

[Arsal_AK]

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.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Malik took 4????

 

[Amjid Javed]

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

 

[Snow]

Opening stand matters a lot, lets see of they can write off the deficit.

 

[ChachaCricket]

We need to pile on the runs before this pitch breaks apart.

 

[waleed88]

4 wickets mean exemption from getting out on a bouncer.

 

[dhump]

Match in even now Pakistan need to score something around 350 here and bat 3 sessions.

 

[Haroon786]

Pakistan are still in the match.

 

[Arsal_AK]

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.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Malik took 4????

Yup.

Bowled well in all fairness. Should have been given some more overs.

 

[Executioner]

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

 

[Markhor]

Won't be comfortable with a lead of less than 250, need a big batting effort and avoid loss of early wickets.

 

[dhump]

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.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Bravo Malik.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Malik took 4????

Yo.

 

[Adijazz1706]

need a 250 lead to put England under the pump

 

[Arsal_AK]

Malik took 4????

Is it that hard to believe?

 

[zabalestmsm]

An open letter to our batsmen:

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

Thanks.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yo.

Is it that hard to believe?

Yup.

Bowled well in all fairness. Should have been given some more overs.

Haha, net messed up bro. So it means tough day for some people

 

[#GreenRoars]

Lead is not that much massive, i hope our batsmen will perform better. Need 250+ target to win this one.

 

[zabalestmsm]

The batsmen must not think about lead at the moment. Must think about ending the trail as soon as possible, for now.

 

[Arsal_AK]

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.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chucker picks up 4.

There's some definite chuck in that wicket

Today you will face reverse swing yorkers and high bouncers from Malik fans. Be ready haha

 

[zabalestmsm]

Clean until proven a chucker!

 

[Amjid Javed]

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.

 

[Strike!]

Hafeez is a walking wicket. He looks like a deer in headlights outside the offstump.

Relax Amjid bhai. Ham baray dil walay log hain.

 

[razabbas]

yaaar kya kar raha hayn ya log kitna phattu hayn :/

 

[Watsupdoc]

Azhar has no idea where his off stump is

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez is a walking wicket. He looks like a deer in headlights outside the offstump.

Right now Azhar is looking like a walking wicket.

 

[Arsal_AK]

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.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

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.

 

[waleed88]

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

 

[Watsupdoc]

Tuk tuk again, so we are digging a hole for ourselves again.

 

[razabbas]

hafeez went for the review straight away

even bairstow wasnt sure

 

[Arsal_AK]

200 with this out feild on a turning pitch will be really tough for England.

Yasir has turned some square already on day 3.

 

[Amjid Javed]

our openers need to be positive here, cant just plod along here.

 

[Watsupdoc]

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.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Thats not out.

 

[razabbas]

its a not out

 

[Shafi]

Haffez is always good to waste review and such a useless player in test
