250 for 4 will be satisfactory for pakistan here now. Cant afford to lose more wickets.

450!!! Let them score 300 first. 178/4 and only 2 batsmen left
Shafiq under pressure now. Lets hope he can score big iA.
He just scored a ton last match..I hope Misbah and Sarfraz chip in with some big runs.
So?
That doesn't mean he shouldn't score again lol. If that was the case he should have been rested this game.
This is the pattern for him anyways and my response was on your line that Shafiq is under pressure. He should not be feeling pressure as he scored a century last match.
It is true though. The only batsman in PAK team you feel secure when batting is Misbah. Regardless of how many big scores he has, or how slow he is. When he is in you know he can defend almost anything. No other batsman can do that apart from possibly Azhar.
I mean team is under pressure. Shafiq is part of team so he should be under pressure too right?
And its been said he doesn't perform when under pressure. So lets see.
A couple of pressure relieving sixes are needed.
a good series for misbah so far
Who better to hit them than the captainon his day misbah can take england spinners to the cleaners
This guy Misbah is a piece - every time I plan to write something on why he should retire, he comes back to stop me. I 'll not be surprised if he gets a 100 & then plan to tour AUS in 2017.
Playing really well - hardly troubled & looks determined.
Everyone bowled more overs than Rashid and this is suppose to be a wicket favor spinners.
Well we desperately need a big hundred from him. He hardly goes on to score tons, and then big tons. We need a 170-200+. You should expect this from your captain and senior batsman.
Shafiq needs to assert himself for once. He has a very lame presence at the crease ,can be easily troubled by a determined bowler. His short stature does not help either.
Yes does anyone know when Pakistan next test series is?
England next year. Probably a tour to west indies before that but I am not sure about it.
BTW guys when is our next test series after this Eng tour? Seems like we won't be seeing Misbah and Younus for a few months after this UAE tour ends.
Wicket coming in next 18 balls....
Everything I have read suggests that this will be Misbah's farewell series.
Everyone bowled more overs than Rashid and this is suppose to be a wicket favor spinners.
Damn so we won't be seeing Younus/Misbah for some time now. I hope Misbah plays some FC to keep himself match fit. It won't be easy at this age.
Yes but hes been more expensive.
He looks to be the traditional leg spinner who will concede plenty but take the odd bagful of wickets, like a crap Danish Kaneria.
Yah , thats why misbah said he wil probably retire if there is no series with india. At this age he cant wait for another 8 months for the next test series.
I cannot believe that Misbah is still using his bat, he utterly wrecked the handle!
Been a big issue for Pakistan since 2008. We just don't play enough cricket and that's why the seniors dont need or do not want any rest. Also less matches for talented youngsters who only get chances in T20/ODI as a result.
I think yes most leg spinner go for runs not everyone is Warne...and Danish was actually a good bowler Kami stole many of his wickets.
Yes, Kaneria was pretty decent. Most of his 5+ wicket hauls cost over 100 runs but he would also bowl a lot of overs. So what I meant by Rashid is like a crap Kaneria, is that Rashid will also take 5/100+ fairly often but will concede at 4 or 5 rpo unlike Kaneria who could keep it at 3ish.
