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

[Big Mac]

England will go for this chase. They are aiming for win.

You think? There's too much time left for this to end in a draw.

 

[Amjid Javed]

The highest run chase by a non-Asian team in Asia is 276

So england will have to bat out of their skins to win this.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Pitch isnt that bad??

Moen bhai was spinning it from around the wicket. The impact was umpire's call and it missed leg stump.

And not to mention Patel's ball to Sarfraz.

 

[MMHS]

ENG 'll love to leave as many as possible to start with, after 120 overs in the sun.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

England has never chased this much total in Asia before!

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...ult=1;template=results;type=team;view=innings

Historically suck on day 4/5 on spinning wickets and generally don't handle pressure well either.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Moeen to play the innings of his career.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Maybe fawad alam/shehzad should field instead of shafiq since hes injured

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Moeen to play the innings of his career.

Which is not saying much

 

[ahanank]

Rahat needs about 20 overs to get into rhythm.

It's spinning a lot but it's spinning really slowly so it's easy to play because even if you don't pick it you can sit on the back foot and play it off the surface.

 

[Bullet Drive]

7 off first over.

Ominous signs for PAKISTAN.

 

[The_KING]

Rahat bowling rubbish as always. Bring on Yasir and Zulfi already.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Maybe use Malik with the new ball??

 

[Enigma_]

Rahat's start

 

[Watsupdoc]

Runs are flowing easily here for bhai.

We need at least 2 wickets by the end of close today.

 

[Arsal_AK]

7 off first over.

Ominous signs for PAKISTAN.

Yup. Way too ominous.

They might as well abandon the match now. Eng will cream them here.

7 off the first over!

 

[ahanank]

Imran Khan would have been very useful here. Bowled tight lines and was economical. Wahab and rahat are the opposite.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Is bhai ok? That must have hurt.

 

[ahanank]

Wahab, yar Moeen bhai ko toh chor de

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Damn. Nice delivery by Wahab. Good pace

 

[Watsupdoc]

Think hit him on the unprotected area.

 

[Markhor]

Yeesh, nasty blow.

 

[imshally81]

Moeen Ali is Good Entertainer

 

[Enigma_]

Hit him right at the back of the head ouch.

 

[TheNightWatchman]

May god forgive Wahab Riaz for his sins. Moeen Bhai is a nice man

 

[Big Mac]

That's a scary blow :/

 

[Bullet Drive]

Oh dear Moeen hurt.

Need to bowl a yorker to him next ball.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ouch

 

[The_KING]

Moeen is so lucky there. Hope he is ok.

 

[Big Mac]

Yup. Way too ominous.

They might as well abandon the match now. Eng will cream them here.

7 off the first over!

I should start drawing up the list of people to slap now

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wahab needs to yorker Moeen like the Yuvi one.

 

[PTI tsunami]

That was lucky all ball didn't hit head

[Bullet Drive]

iA Moeen will b fine

 

[TheNightWatchman]

Follow it up with a ripper of a yorker.. Cmon Wahab

 

[walashi]

the ball hit the helmet just missing the back of the neck - near the exact spot where Phil Hughes was tragically and fatally struck

 

[khalil1986]

Apart from Root,Cook and Taylor I don't think the other batsman are difficult to get out at all.

Yes but they won't give their wickets away like majority of ours

 

[Watsupdoc]

Good to see that he is fine. Good that now he is having a protector for that area now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Wahab bowl another bouncer then follow with a yorker

 

[Bullet Drive]

Did you see how the umpire ran towards Moeen? That was a massive blow.

 

[dhump]

Is moeen doing ok ?? I am not watching not a good thing to happen.

 

[Enigma_]

Good to see he's okay, but Wahab should look to bowl a yorker. It'll be in Moeen's head now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

"its not easssssy BAYZZZ"

Sarfaraz Ahmed

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to rattle moeen more now that his brain is scrambled.

 

[MMHS]

Moeen should go for an MRI immediately; I don't like his movement. He is struck probably the worst spot.

 

[Bullet Drive]

No ball no ball no ball.

 

[Big Mac]

That's what Moeen should do more of, go after the short ball. He's not that bad at playing the pull and hook but he always gets himself into trouble whenever he tries to duck under a bouncer.

 

[JibranAnsari]

england off to a flier.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Some easy runs for England!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Runs flowing easily here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

15 off two overs.


Ominous signs for Pakistan.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

"Educated edge" from ramiz

 

[Anwar]

we need some quick wickets to really put England under some pressure here.

 

[Enigma_]

15 runs off the first 2 over

 

[imshally81]

 

[The_KING]

Poor start from us. We need Yasir

 

[JibranAnsari]

15/0

 

[desi_launda]

: Runs flowing

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Rahat should stick to good length. His short ball isnt the same as wahabs

 

[Markhor]

Spinners will be on early at this rate.

 

[ahanank]

Pacers leaking runs as usual.
You see guys, this is why Amir should be recalled ASAP.

 

[JibranAnsari]

eng;and was supposed to sore 15 in the first ten.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bowling rubbish with the new ball

 

[The_KING]

Terrible start

 

[imshally81]

another

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Did Rameez just say educated edge?

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

DUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

 

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Moeen should go for an MRI immediately; I don't like his movement. He is struck probably the worst spot.

Yeh, surprised he carried on and the physio hardly assessed him at all. Any trauma to the back of the head requires a proper check up. Just to be on the safe side.

 

[Bullet Drive]

PAK are in massive trouble.

England can do it.

 

[Abdullah719]

Rahat.

Bowled so well in the first innings... and now back to the usual.

 

[JibranAnsari]

right approach by moin. He was failing anyway.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start here by england, to many easy runs been given away as well

 

[Madplayer]

"90-10 in favour of Pak"

lol

 

[Anwar]

Moeen not holding back, rahat needs to fix up his length

 

[Bullet Drive]

Moeen is playing beautifully.

We should be very worried.

We are doomed.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Looks like Moeen is going to attack everything.

 

[Enigma_]

Stop leaking runs ffs!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

God I hope Moeen is OK.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Wow.

Good ball to Cook.

But ENG in control.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Good ball from rahat. I that missed cook was gone

 

[MK7Z]

Moeen is playing beautifully.

We should be very worried.

We are doomed.

what the hell man its been 2 overs....

 

[JibranAnsari]

Our pacers are crap as compared to broad and anderson.
