Pakistan v England | 3rd Test | Sharjah | Nov 1-5, 2015 | Day 4

[marlonbrowndo]

A 50 from babar will do nicely. Just hope he doesnt duck against a yorker

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lead 188 with 4 wickets remaining

 

[Haroon786]

Dropped catch.

 

[dhump]

Sarfraz was almost out here.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Does anyone know if Ben stokes is fielding out there?

Naa he was doing nets last i saw

 

[Haroon786]

Babar Azam isn't playing.

 

[dhump]

come on guys get the lead past 200...it will give some mental advantage.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Through the hands of short leg

 

[Pakcricket89]

Sarfraz looks extremely prone to getting out in a lame way

 

[JibranAnsari]

we need 30 each from these two at least

 

[Haroon786]

Lucky Asad.

 

[ahanank]

Shafiq will be out soon.

 

[Enigma_]

Shafiq struggling a lot here, come on hold on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

turning sharply

 

[dhump]

Does anyone know if Ben stokes is fielding out there?

No he is not.

 

[Pakcricket89]

Shafiq should have some magic spray

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Babar Azam isn't playing.

Zulfiqar babar

 

[Bilal7]

Moeen is looking dangerous. Malik should watch him closely.

 

[Amjid Javed]

With spinners on at both ends batsmen should be just working the ball around.

 

[Haroon786]

Should have got more than a single from that full toss.

 

[khalil1986]

Shafiq seems in a lot of pain.

 

[arehaan]

Where is the damn physio?

 

[Haroon786]

Zulfiqar babar

Will be lucky to make 10 let alone 50.

 

[blackanhyellow]

Naa he was doing nets last i saw

No he is not.

ok thanks.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shafiq will now have to use bottom hand more. Prob will have to score square of the wicket

 

[dhump]

Looopy full tosses missed where is Misbah when you need him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

sarfraz needs to keep most of the strike. Asad is in pain.

 

[khalil1986]

zulfiqar babar

50 lol

 

[Robert]

PAK have already won. Bairstow's missed stumping cost England a halved series.

 

[Big Mac]

He's fighting the urge to slap Hafeez for throwing his wicket away

 

[Pakcricket89]

Tail needs to add 25 runs aleast today because we wont get to 250 without that

 

[dhump]

193 runs lead and drinks...50 more needed to make the match out of it.

 

[Enigma_]

PAK have already won. Bairstow's missed stumping cost England a halved series.

200-220 can be easily chased considering the amount of time remaining in the match.

 

[Pakcricket89]

PAK have already won. Bairstow's missed stumping cost England a halved series.

Pitch has nothing alarming

Eng will be favourites if target is lesser than 225

 

[dhump]

I would have had his "guddi" slapped red while sitting behind him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

theres nothing in the pitch , england with 9 batsmen can chase 250 here.

 

[yasir]

Very ordinary over by Adil, 3/4 full tosses [emoji854][emoji854][emoji854]

If Adil is taken to next Ashes, he 'll break all sorts of bowling records on those firm & true AUS wickets.

 

[Bilal7]

Babar, Shah and Riaz should come out with bats swinging. They can get us 50-60 runs between them if they do.

 

[dhump]

Nothing really to offer it is still good batting wicket...I dont think Pakistan is anywhere near safe... Yes a tough match is definitely on.

 

[Pakcricket89]

He has to improve his accuracy but yes he can trouble ausies

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to get through to Tea here and keep battling which means lead increases and pitch gets more worn out!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lead 195 - another 80 needed here.

 

[MMHS]

Off course, CA appoints Aussies as scorer.

 

[Enigma_]

Personally I think these two need to take us to 250 and then just hit out or get out.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Riaz can bat, but in this series a pure failure, no expectations. Yshah can do good

 

[#GreenRoars]

Classical shot Sarfi

 

[dhump]

lead pas 200...Goood come on add another 50 and we are moving towards safe zone.

 

[Enigma_]

200 lead up, good shot.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cracking shot for 4 and leads is now 201

 

[dhump]

Personally I think these two need to take us to 250 and then just hit out or get out.

No this should never happen we have 1.5 day left in test...Go past 300 and then try something.

 

[Shafi]

Any news of Pakistan One day squad? Geo news, tribute are talking about YK in the squad.

 

[yasir]

Pretty easy to bat. Nothing special going on.

Pakistan need to play till end of day today or till last hour.

[Haroon786]

Would like to see some 6s but I don't see many coming unfotunatley.

 

[yasir]

Last innings, Malik needs to be ready for his role.

[MMHS]

Mash Allah, Adil bhai serving his ancestor's country well - a long hop pulled to mid wickets, next one cut to backward point & he is a leggi bowling on 4th day deck with 6 men on line.

 

[Caved12]

This lead is enough, I can sleep now. Anything from here on, is a bonus. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Goodnight!

 

[Haroon786]

Pakistan won't be declaring that's a surety.

 

[Enigma_]

Good think Malik retired probably would've been called for chucking anyways, especially after he got a 4-fer .

Adil need to pitch the ball to get something out of surface.. Broad and Anderson had uneven bounce.

 

[90MPH]

Game going away from England now.

 

[ahanank]

Loopy balls by Rashid and shafiq just defending everything.

 

[Bilal7]

Sarfaraz playing beautifully.

 

[dhump]

Pakistan won't be declaring that's a surety.

If magically they got us passed 350 yes Pakistan will.

 

[Big Mac]

Which is why it made me laugh when people tried to claim he should replace Moeen in the test side, he's just not very good.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Asad can't play shots against pace either.

He can. But prefers spin.

Cover drive he played today was class.

 

[Pakcricket89]

WE can add 10-15 more once this Partnership ends

 

[Bilal7]

If England chase this down, they will have to better their highest ever chase in the subcon to accomplish that. Just to calm the wrist-slitters. We got this, InshAllah.

 

[dhump]

one can ask the logic of this shot anyways stupid for me.

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell Shafiq, that's a risky shot. Lucky that wasn't out.

 

[MMHS]

Does ENG play domestics on 20 yard wickets? I mean, I can'y recall when the spinners brought PAK players on front-foot defense.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Keep building up the runs boys.

 

[90MPH]

Once lead is 250 then England are not chasing it, highly unlikely unless Root
Does something special

 

[Enigma_]

These two doing exceptionally well. Should teach the whole side to rotate the strike like this.

 

[Bullet Drive]

216 lead.

34 more to be safe. Anything more is a bonus IMO.

 

[Haroon786]

If magically they got us passed 350 yes Pakistan will.

Will most probably get out before that.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shafiq once again playing a superb knock under pressure.

 

[yasir]

Spinners are nothing special, I should have said. But it's still not very difficult to bat, ball is not jumping and fizzing. There are no demons yet. That's why it's important to ball long.

Hope they send Yasir ahead of Wahab.

Wahab can't bat at all these days. Takes his mark on about minus 4th stump.

 

[Strike!]

There's not much in the pitch.
