Need Shah and Riaz together, C'mon Misbah, make it happen.
 
Waqar should come out and bowl himself and teach these phaast bowlers how to bowl Yorkers :))

5 mins of 1990s Waqar Younis and this match would be over. Hell, it might be over with 2015 Waqar coming on now.
 
IK should make Rashid play. Pitching him outside off would help because he'll be more than happy to leave all these balls.

And yes, it's time to bring on Yasir and Wahab.
 
Man, Imran and Malik are not going to take wickets here, get Riaz and Shah on. At least keep Yasir Shah on from one end and create pressure.
 
It could be a matter of just 2 balls, so I wouldn't give up till the last over...
 
Bring on Wahab and ask him to hit these two. They'll give their tickets then.
 
Zulfiaqar is making all kind of faces to scare them but no use.
 
Wrist slitting has started....calm down people

Not watching the match, so what is the issue here? Has the wicket gone flat? Good batting or bad bowling? Or mixtures of everything?
 
Zulfi need to ball the straighter one with this line trick an lbw
 
Misbah has gone nuts! Instead of Wahab he brings on Uncle Zulfi... My good God...
 
It's almost time for the last roll of the dice.

get Wahab & Yasir into the attack. Wahab needs to attack the stumps with yorkers and roughen the batsmen up with bouncers. none of this line and length - hoping they will nick the ball through.

Yasir needs to try push the batsmen back and either trap them on the crease for an LBW or try inducing an edge off a turning delivery mixing the leg spin and googlies.

pitch is slow, no demons, coupled with tiring bowlers and an old ball.

Lambi kahani hay mixture of everything...Hafeez dropped one and Shan messed up some close once. Also very good batting by these two.

A mixture of things. Good batting from England, some toothless bowling.

Half chances created but none taken...
 
Only 90 balls left to survive!

Wood and Rashid just need to keep their concentration intact. The pitch is dead.
 
i must say Pakistan matches are difficult to take eyes off. Just 90 balls and 2 good deliveries and its a win
 
Wahab and zulfi needed. Zulfi looked threatening in this over but replace him with yasir soon if he doesnt get a wicket
 
A lot of overs left....no need to panic yet

People are complaining about the pitch. Thats why im saying bring wahab he takes the pitch out of the equation
 
Let them keep their tickets we need wickets here.

Tail enders are tail enders and the only thing saving them is slowness of this graveyard.

You hit one on their head or on body and you'll see fear in their eye before you ball them next ball. You need to use these kind of tactics when they're not giving away wickets.
 
96 balls for England to survive.

What time does the sun set?
 
^ thanks for the replies brothers.

anyways still some time left, only matter of a false shot. But credit to Rashid and co for fighting hard out there.
 
Excellent resolve shown here by England. Pakistan look out of ideas.

Well played.
 
No, English fans are being confused by the end of daylight saving. Each day so far has continued another 75 minutes from here, so the full 15 overs are certainly available.
 
If England manage to escape defeat, this stand will be regarded as being one of the best ever.
