[razabbas]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA No ball

 

[hussain.r97]

 

[Jabo]

Lucky

no ball

 

[ammar93]

Haven't seen that in a while lol.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol mediocre Shafiq survives )

 

[razabbas]

thats a clear no ball :/

 

[m.shah]

outtt

 

[the Great Khan]

need to get that lead down to less than 50 and we be ok

 

[razabbas]

that was really a good ball btw

 

[the Great Khan]

uff bhens.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Unfair.

No-balls should not exist in test cricket in my view.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

What a Joke Of a leave that was .Lol

 

[TNA]

This is embarassing

What are they checking?

A Blind person can see its a no ball

 

[the Great Khan]

what a test match!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

What a terrible leave

 

[hussain.r97]

That was a beauty from Boult. Wasn't a horrible leave, that was the first ball that's swung that much this whole series.

 

[Justcrazy]

That was a great ball. Shafiq really lucky.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Boult swinging it miles.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shafiq now must convert this into a big one.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Sarfaraz needs to score another quick fire ton. Get the lead to 80+ ASAP and we will bowl NZ out for about 160. We can chase 80 on day 5.

Come on boys. Be positive now. We won't lose this test.

 

[Justcrazy]

13 overs left.

 

[JibranAnsari]

sarfraz wont survive this swing onslaught.

 

[90MPH]

Lucky Shafiq, make it count.

 

[hussain.r97]

Shafiq needs to rub salt into the wounds now.

 

[Justcrazy]

New ball has swung a bit here, concern for Pakistan

 

[GreenKnightRises]

People should realize the inability of their Legend Shafiq. he is really an embarrassing in such conditions

 

[Justcrazy]

Adil with pads on

 

[hussain.r97]

sarfraz wont survive this swing onslaught.

I reckon he will, he's technically sound and generally quite decent against swing. He's done it more than once before. That ball was a beauty from Boult, no one has gotten that much conventional swing this whole game, so the leave was on.

 

[JibranAnsari]

superb delivery , sodhi looking lot better than yasir shah.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz needs to score another quick fire ton. Get the lead to 80+ ASAP and we will bowl NZ out for about 160. We can chase 80 on day 5.

Come on boys. Be positive now. We won't lose this test.

I think you are in good mood today , did you get increse in salary ?

 

[saeed-sohail]

This team still relies on YK to score big. He threw his wicket away after looking set for another ton. Likes of Azhar Asad need to score meaningful runs when chips are down.

 

[Bullet Drive]

12 overs till end of play.

Now they will play slowly for that

 

[hussain.r97]

New ball has swung a bit here, concern for Pakistan

It's good for Pakistan if they can see it out. Adil and Rahat both swing the ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I reckon he will, he's technically sound and generally quite decent against swing. He's done it more than once before. That ball was a beauty from Boult, no one has gotten that much conventional swing this whole game, so the leave was on.

that was shafiq.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Chacha cricket regaling the crowd with his love stories. Hence the noise. And dil dil Pakistan. Cricket though is tense

 

[DanishJamil]

Well atleast RR has gone up :-/

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Legend shafiq won't survice this day. lol

 

[hussain.r97]

that was shafiq.

My mistake, thought you wrote Shafiq

Shafiq needs to farm the strike while the ball is swinging. Let Sarfraz take the spinner. As soon as the ball stops swinging, unleash the Sir Fraz

 

[Bullet Drive]

Tomorrow we will need 135 to lead. We can wipe that off by one hour after lunch. Then we can accelerate for a quick 80 odd which we can win with.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan under pressure need to get 380 atleast

 

[JibranAnsari]

^ yah we have 9 wickets standing.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz looks down

 

[hussain.r97]

They need to be really careful leaving outside off stump. Boult is really getting it to curve in.

 

[hussain.r97]

Pakistan could declare when scores are level or maybe 20-50 runs behind, back themselves to bowl NZ out and chase. Batting for too long will only result in a draw. The timing of the declaration is key.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfraz needs to make up for his substandard keeping here.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on boys... need runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan could declare when scores are level or maybe 20-50 runs behind, back themselves to bowl NZ out and chase. Batting for too long will only result in a draw. The timing of the declaration is key.

We will need two more sessions to level the score. Still going to be a draw.

 

[hussain.r97]

Sarfraz to face Boult. This should be interesting

 

[Asif321]

not having regular openers big disadvantage

 

[Gollum]

Need to see off the day without losing another wicket.

Declaration from behind may be our best bet.

 

[amomin]

This will see how good our tail enders are. NZ last 4 put on close to 100+. Can Yasir Shah, Adil, Babar, Rahat put in 80 runs between them.

 

[Asif321]

Wait dereeee!

 

[Justcrazy]

Key is to keep wickets in hand now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Declaration from behind may be our best bet.

I don't think pakistan should push for a result here. We should draw this one. There is another test match where we can win.

 

[Asif321]

timing it well

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah looks serious.

 

[hussain.r97]

Sarfraz survives

 

[hussain.r97]

I don't think pakistan should push for a result here. We should draw this one. There is another test match where we can win.

I reckon they should. An NZ win looks highly unlikely even if we declare behind.

 

[Justcrazy]

This two need to concentrate , here , cannot afford to loose a wicket.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Negative batting.

 

[hussain.r97]

Craig is on

 

[JibranAnsari]

I reckon they should. An NZ win looks highly unlikely even if we declare behind.

I think nz will skittle us out under 320 and then they have a real chance to go for a kill.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four , positive shot.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This is whats good about sarfraz and thats why he can keep his place even as a pure batsman.

 

[Justcrazy]

243/5

Trail 160 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Shafiq getting some easy runs here.

 

[hussain.r97]

Great over for Pakistan! 15 runs off it!

 

[Asif321]

lol craig hammered

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thank you craig..released a lot of pressure.

 

[Justcrazy]

Beautiful shot by Sarfaraz .

 

[Asif321]

now Sarfraz is mood need to relax

 

[hussain.r97]

Good positive stuff.

 

[Justcrazy]

Boults no ball going to cost kiwis here.

 

[hussain.r97]

Thank you craig..released a lot of pressure.

Much needed for Shafiq. Good for him to get his mind off being bowled.

 

[Gollum]

250 up, we should be looking at par score at the minimum.

[Arsal_AK]

Sarfraz in the form of his life.

 

[Justcrazy]

This two batting positively , shows what Azhar lacks

 

[hussain.r97]

I love watching these two bat together. Busy batting. Most positive and entertaining partnership in the team.
