Very important for Mohammad Hafeez to continue on from where he left off yesterday. Rahat Ali probably won't survive for long so Misbah-ul-Haq, Asad Shafiq, and Sarfraz Ahmed will have to play their parts.
 
Man, I'm debating it. Have class at 11 AM. Should I catch the first hour or wake up at 6 and catch the last two?

Do have a test tomorrow the first period. But I can stay up despite without having any sleep; used to it.
 
I wrote yesterday that Pakistan's stubborn refusal to select Mohammad Amir or any other bowler who can bat will probably lose this game for you.

I wrote of your awful tail converting 200-5 into 230 all out.

If you do that, and are dismissed around lunchtime today, you will have brought it on yourselves.

In practice, either Hafeez or Misbah or Shafiq or Sarfraz has to score another 80 today, or you lose.

I think you need a minimum total of 315 (target 244) to be in this game.

Any score over 365 and England would require an impossible 294 to win.

Get over Mohammad Amir.

He is not going to be selected no matter what until he plays a full first-class season which is a good thing.

You will be 150-4 when Rahat gets out, and Misbah will be bombarded with the pace bowlers that he cannot score or survive against.

Can you get to 315 without help from the tail?

Pointless and a repeated argument almost on the almost every single thread.

You don't deserve to win Test matches if you have to rely on the batting by your tail.
 
I think 180 lead way too much to reach by England vs yasir and Malik in his last test.zulfiqar also will doing best to dedicate victory to Malik bhai in his farewell test.254/285 winning scores here.
 
The first session will be really important. Hope Hafeez goes on and makes a huge score. We need to set a minimum target of 250.
 
Bach gaya.

Tomorrow is office, don't know how long can continue, but you don't miss such a Test.
 
You'd expect Bairstow to be able to pick Rashid fairly easily given he keeps to him all the time with Yorkshire, poor miss that one.
 
Missed stumping. Shaky start for hafeez. Wouldnt mind if rahat maked a 15 or 20

Mohammad Amir is a tailender who can hang around for a while and score a bit in non pressure situations. He is not a Lara
 
Had ENG gone for a specialist WK, albeit at the cost of 20 runs from a "Batting WK", by this time probably would have got PAK at 50/5 net off. But, run from tail is important.............

Asad and Sarfraz are to follow Misbah. The later is due a big knock.

Do a long way to go till the tail.
 
There was so much inevitability about this dismissal
 
Tough situation for a new batsman to walk into with the ball spinning and reversing a mile.
 
Our tail is truly embarrassing

No technique and add nothing whatsoever to this already brittle line up
 
I think, PAK has used the heavy roller this morning. Whatever moisture was there has come on top of surface, therefore ball is "zipping" a bit. This 'll be extremely helpful, if PAK can put 200+ target as the top surface 'll break on day 5, but it makes 1st hour tricky.

Why MoHa is shaking?
 
Anderson is reversing it and rashid spinning it big.

Expect Misbah to be LBW to Anderson
