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

[Amjid Javed]

50 for hafeez, now needs to cash in and not stupidly get out like in 1st inns.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Hundred for Azhar Ali.

 

[Abdullah719]

Congrats on the Cowan, Azhar.

 

[Abdul]

Hundred bowls and yet no boundaries for Azhar now.

I wonder what's the record?

 

[Abdullah719]

AB at Adelaide in 2012, 220 balls. What a player.

 

[MMHS]

Once. It was dropped by Bairstow off , tough chance.

Mash Allah, they are earning their spot with that 64 runs in 1st innings.

No need I dont mind him scoring a ton without boundary.

 

[MMHS]

I thought that Malik makes the Test team in UAE on merit, but if he is slotted at 5/6.

Theoretically, he 'll come to bat today when a No. 5 should expect to bat - that's after 35 overs. Though the pressure of batting at 5/6 is different - you face tired bowlers, but you need to guide the tail. Today, is his biggest day of the series - if he gets a 50 at least, I think it 'll be difficult to chose another Man of The Series. I think, he has done enough for his part with ball in this series

 

[Abdullah719]

Rashid bowling well here, though the other two aren't worth discussing.

 

[Haroon786]

Need to up the ante a little.

Misbah is man of the series for me. Followed by shafiq if he does something good in this innings and misbah fails

 

[Abdullah719]

Azhar rapidly climbing up the boundary-less list.

[pakistanigoneaussie]

azhar really needs to get a move on

 

[imshally81]

Actually .. Pak - 18/0

 

[Amjid Javed]

Dont care if Azhar doesnt hit a single boundary in inns aslong as he gets a 100!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Where did that come from??

 

[Naim]

: from Hafeez

 

[Abdullah719]

Jimmy goes into the crowd.

 

[dhump]

Exactly!! I dont see what the fuzz is about.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bumble you beauty )

 

[Amjid Javed]

shot of the match from Hafeez! wow!

 

[khalil1986]

Big hit.

 

[khalil1986]

And now four.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez uping the anti here.

 

[Naim]

and then :

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

Run out. Pathetic.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Run out

When we least needed it...

Azhar at fault there.

 

[Abdullah719]

Yet again.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Absolutely retarded runout. Surprisingly azhars fault this time... These 2 are our worst batsmen at running. Gifted wicket damnit

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why did Azhar even try and attempt that?

 

[Naim]

WTH is this

 

[MMHS]

Misbah is man of the series for me. Followed by shafiq if he does something good in this innings and misbah fails

Actually, if Malik gets a 50 2nd time around - he 'll have ~350 runs & minimum 8 wickets. He was easily the best player for PAK in 1st Test; with ~100 runs & 4 wickets, 'll be among the top 2 players in 3rd Test as well. And, I back him to get a couple in 2nd innings - not many in history of the game has scored 350+ @ ~60+ & taken 10 wickets @ <30 in a 3 Test series; and he has probably 3 catches so far as well.

 

[khalil1986]

Absolute morons.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Hafeez and run outs.

 

[EngrOmair]

Azhar Making a mess of it, worked hard for his runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This run out might prove costly.

 

[Amjid Javed]

what a stupid run out! typical pakistan shooting themselves in foot when in decent position

29/1 effectively here!

 

[saeed-sohail]

Trust Pakistan to mess things up when opposition had already given up.

[MMHS]

Azhar needs to made run 25 rounds in the ground this evening & docked 50% match fee...............

 

[Watsupdoc]

Really just gifted the wicket there, what retarded running.

 

[Justcrazy]

Really bad mistake.

 

[EngrOmair]

Malik in half sleeves ???? Launndda aj jaldi out hojaye ga

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

Pulled away..

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

And these guys play for the Lahore team. So should have known each other better by now.

 

[Big Mac]

See, the moment we attack the seamers disaster follows immediately afterwards. More tuk tuk needed!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Though it was azhars fault but a run out is always on when hafeez is in the middle.

 

[Naim]

hafeez is on fire

 

[saeed-sohail]

Hafeez and run outs.

You can't blame Hafeez here.

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez and run outs.

It was Azhars fault there though ran like a maniac then stopped halfway...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lets get to close of play without any more accidents!

Game is in balance here.

105/1

 

[JibranAnsari]

hafeez needs to score 150 plus

 

[EngrOmair]

without a doubt Hafeez is reading the English bowlers very well, he is picking up their lengths brilliantly of course not the wrong ones form Rashid

 

[saeed-sohail]

33/1 game on.

[m.shah]

Run out again

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead is 33 runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I know just that when hafeez is in the middle a run out is always on.

 

[khalil1986]

Need another partnership and get to stumps without any further damage.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Just saw the runnout.

What were they doing??

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Malik in and they bring on Anderson.

 

[khalil1986]

Malik is absolutely rubbish.

 

[Justcrazy]

Reverse swing.

 

[razabbas]

HAHAHAHAH england back in the game from nowhere

Malik

 

[Watsupdoc]

That was plumb...

Malik is useless against the swinging ball

 

[badsha001]

lol

 

[marlonbrowndo]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] "man of the series" gone for a golden duck hahaha jk bro. This is bad for pakistan.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Malik gone too.

Horrible technique; just horrible.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Mediocrity gone.

Malik needs to dig in here and get some meaningful runs

He was easily the best player for PAK in 1st Test; with ~100 runs & 4 wickets, 'll be among the top 2 players in 3rd Test as well.

I guess not.

 

[saeed-sohail]

This could be the session where we lose this test.

[TalhaSyed]

And we have allowed England back into the game...

 

[Mir jibran]

plz drop malik

 

[EngrOmair]

Malik , though the ball bowled was a ripper

 

[Justcrazy]

This is why malik is not a test player.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Reverse swing.

Is reverse swing possible at that speed? Anderson isn't the fastest.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Trust Pakistan to make things the worst for themselves.

 

[badsha001]

Malik should retire from tests after this match...

 

[world cup captain]

That was plumb...

Malik is useless against the swinging ball

Can't blame him. That was an absolute beauty.

 

[walashi]

What a waste!

 

[Big Mac]

As always, going to come down to Younus and Misbah having to bail the team out isn't it?
