These solid rocks have rescued us again. Salute. Legends

Not yet. They will have rescued us with a 150+ partnership. One wicket now and we are still in big trouble. Another hundred runs and a wicket we not in such trouble.
 
Misbah averaging 48 now. Lets hope he can get a big double ton not out and get that 50 average. e
 
Oh so impossible for Misbah then.

He needs a big double. Lets hope he gets it. A few not outs will help too.

I am sure that is the last thing he wants. But it just desserts him everytime he is close. He has never been able to achieve.

We need him in england ..i hope he doesnt retire. 50 is just a number.
 
Misbah must be a very stubborn kid when he was young.

He gets hit by a vicious bouncer and then he laughs it off!
 
I've no faith or trust in Batsmen to follow, Shafiq is a borderline bottler while Sarfraz lives on the edge and is unreliable. These two need to stick in and take the score to atleast 300, if a wicket falls after that, either one of them along with the tail can take the score to around 400 which will be enough for first innings.
 
Man I really want to see Haris Sohail in the test side.

He not playing test cricket regularly for Pakistan and is one of the biggest mistakes made in Pakistan cricket.

He is world class, and one of our best. Will be a great batsman. He and Babar.
 
Pakistans session.

YK & Misbah hats off.

Now if YK and Misbah can bat the whole of last session, maybe los 1 wicket. Its our day.

Happy I missed uni for this now :P
 
Younis is so consistent. Great player indeed. Malik is not a test player. Dont know what the Pakistanis saw in him !
 
Likes of Babar Azam, Haris, Azhar, Shafiq will do much better then Misbah & YK in England.

LOL @ haris and babar doing well there , these guys have never played there and let alone play anderson under clouds. Some of these guys have only scored in pakistan domestic , :yk has scored all over the world with minimum of fuss and misbah has a proven record as well. Haris is not for future , he can't keep fit for 6 months a year.

Shafiq and Azhar are solid batsmen though.
 
Well done the senior pros however we can't be more than 4 down by close of day.

These two must go on.
 
Random views thrown out here..what is reality ?? I can only follow scores and getting confused now.

the odd ball spinning. Nothing alarming. But an odd ball is enough for english batsmen. And Its day 1.
 
We need 1 more solid batting session to get us to close of play and hopefully both well set batsmen can get 100s here.
 
Nope theres turn for the leggie

This is good and I was not impressed with Adil at all in 1st test so if he is getting some good balls Yasir will do well.

If Pakistan put them to bat end of day 2 somehow with 400+ on board we can trouble them wicket will do more on day 3 for sure.
 
This is probably a better wicket to bat than SZ. Ball is coming on with a decent bounce, but it's a bit drier - if PAK does put 450 & holds on to catches, my money on Yasir having a 10 wicket match..............

I think wahab will enjoy extra bounce in this surface compared to last.
 
What happened ??? I cant see anything for review on CI.


55.2

Wood to Younis Khan, no run, massive appeal! Big inducker, rapped on the pad, and England are very tempted ... they think better of it, and that was probably clipping leg at best

Yaar sirf review nahi likhtay I had panic attack reading that..
 
This is unacceptable! How can u not attack fast bowlers? They had to get a wicket with this over cautiousness against fast bowlers!
 
back to target 300 and mid of 2nd day England to bat.

Big wicket for England.

450!!! Let them score 300 first. 178/4 and only 2 batsmen left
 
Something for the concentration level of PAK batsmen - this is probably 3rd or 4th time in this 2.4 innings of the series that a wicket fell just after break + that collapse just after Tea on day 5.
 
England has better chance to win this test if we keep batting like this
 
God! This is just unacceptable! Cant even get runs off the spinner! They are building up pressure and in turn will lead to our downfall!
 
Its just bad on part of Pak. 2 batsmen thrown away good starts due to poor concentration
