They'll come in bundle, wait and watch, I can't see England getting past 250 max with Yasir Shah in our ranks, its just a matter of time, its imminent to happen, you can't escape fate no matter how hard you try.

There is no cure for denial, I cant see England scoring less than 400 minimum, Most probably they will score 450+

Doesn't matter as long as he keeps it tight and builds some pressure for Yasir to work with. He's doing a fine job so far, just need to bring in Shah post tea with IK/Malik bowling from the other end.

I will stick with Babar! 5 overs for 20 runs aint bad! Can make a comeback! Malik is good as a part timer!
 
With England scoring at a brisk rate, this match is going forward unlike the last match where both teams scored at a snail's pace. It is a result oriented pitch, just need to be patient and wickets will come, in bundles, can't see the likes of Stokes/Bairstow/Butler/Rashid surviving against Shah on a turning wicket.

It's not the economy rate that's the issue, it's how unthreatening he has looked. England look like they could play him for another 50 overs without giving him a wicket.

Definitely agree with regards to the pitch. This has been a fun game to watch.
 
It's very delicately poised at the moment.

Pakistan need a breakthrough sooner rather than later but I would still be in Pakistan's shoes because they have the runs on the board.

Wrist skitters calm down. The opposition is allowed to play well.

Baba is well past his comebacks, he's bowling lollypops, even I can smack him around the park at his current form forget about the Englishmen. He won't do much, he's ineffective, Malik/IK have the best economy so far and should be partnering Shah from the other end to keep it tight.

I feel Babar can/will produce a wicket taking delivery despite being past it! I don't trust Malik's bowling much!
 
Boycott was ripping into Babbar.

He's calling him a "buffet" bowler.
 
we need 3/4 wickets in this last session to have a decent hold in this match, right now england are on top.
 
[MENTION=139662]Dark Lord[/MENTION] said Cook would not survive one over against Yasir. Guess Rooooooooooot must be taking all the strike when Yasir is on. Good of him to protect his skipper!
 
We can all hope and pray that wickets will come in bundles.

Good delusion, won't happen and England are set to score 400+.
 
No conserted pressure been applied at both ends so england finding things easy here! pakistan need to bowl in partnerships here.
 
pakistan don't have anyone who could stop run flow. Wahab riaz is dangerous but gives away too many runs.

England are clearly a superior side this tour.
 
Looks like England is well prepared for this tour where our thick tank were daydreaming of winning 3-0 without having enough plan. England is playing better spin than us. Apart from Yasir we don't have any quality spinner (Both Zulfi and Bilal are ordinary and worse than Moeen and Rashid). Who is the surprise selection for the 2nd test? We need to get rid off all our ancient staff like Inti, Shahriar....
 
Yasir been worked around with ease here, we cant just simply give away cheap and easy runs, we need a spark right now.
 
The only thing disappointing after today's play is concluded with England only 2 down will be chest thumping and moaning by biased English commies, it'll be really hard to listen to them.
 
England is too good to handle!!! Will be lucky if we can draw this series.
 
Cook now has 1000 runs against Pakistan, which is the sixth nation he has scored that many against.
 
Pivotal session of the game and unless we get a few wickets here then england will be in a position to try and win the game with a good platform at end of today.

126/2 after 34 overs
 
I think Misbah should have been employing a few close catchers when Yasir came on, just to apply some pressure and put doubt in the batsmen's mind early on. Probably too late now, but England's captaincy has been far more proactive when they are bowling.
 
Better over, dry up the runs and hopefully a false shot will come from it.
 
Bell, Cook, Ali & Root - these are England's 4 main batsmen here

Stokes, Butler & Bairstow can cause damage - however, they aren't in the same league as the above 4.

We need 1 more wicket here to open up one end & I have a feeling that it will be a case 1 brings 2 and 2 brings InshAllah

These are the two batsmen we don't want out there together.
 
This opens up england massively Pakistan should attack attack and attack.
