[MenInG]

Judgement Day!

Pakistan 378 & 354/6d
England 242 & 130/3 (54.0 ov)
England require another 361 runs with 7 wickets remaining

Lets go boys!

 

[Belawal2014]

Might as well tune in... pulling an all nighter.

 

[Junaids]

A few important questions here:

1. Will Imran Khan be warned again for running on the pitch and removed from the attack?

2. Can Zulfiqar Babar roll back the years and actually show the slightest penetration?

3. Will Wahab Riaz' excessively long spells earlier in the match cost Pakistan dear? Has he got the energy left to bowl consistently fast?

4. Is Yasir Shah as good as we think? He has looked slightly less accurate than usual in this match.

5. Will the surface deteriorate? Can Pakistan take 7 more wickets if the wicket plays true?

[adnan yasin]

[Watsupdoc]

Wahab looking flat...

 

[Justcrazy]

The pitch not turning that much .

 

[hefaith]

Its gonna be a draw, I dont see a pak win here. Root is gonna play the day out

 

[Justcrazy]

Baba needs to strike here , its very important for Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Root looking comfortable against spin here.

 

[hefaith]

Need to introduce Yasir soon since hes fresh

 

[#GreenRoars]

Break this partnership asap

 

[Shafi]

The pitch looks 2nd or 3rd day pitch!!!! Not enough turn so unless a miracle happen this test will be draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

good shot

 

[hefaith]

Root looking good for a 150+ here

 

[hefaith]

lol Wahab

 

[LegbreakGoogly]

And dropped....

 

[#GreenRoars]

It wasn't a difficult catch

 

[Watsupdoc]

Dropped by Shan... We can't afford that!

 

[hefaith]

bring Yasir on, what is Misbah thinking

 

[Watsupdoc]

Shan needs to come in a bit, he's too far back!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yasir in.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Stop bowling around... That's such a negative line.

 

[rooster]

The pitch looks 2nd or 3rd day pitch!!!! Not enough turn so unless a miracle happen this test will be draw.

You only have to get through this partnership. Others can't grind anywhere forget about these conditions.

 

[rooster]

Pretty economical spell from Babar. 26 runs of 22 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bairstow is growing in confidence here

 

[rooster]

Can Root finally get his hundred?

 

[pasha404]

Shan useless player

 

[arehaan]

Babar seems useless no zip in his bowling

 

[battler]

First half hour up and pakistan looking flat here.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Apart from that drop catch nothing else is happening really.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Babar seems useless no zip in his bowling

He's the only one creating chances, Yasir is looking toothless.

 

[Justcrazy]

32 runs partnership , Pitch is not a mine field , England would be looking at a draw.

 

[Shafi]

The curator should be kicked out for creating such a flat track with not enough turn even in day 5.

 

[Belawal2014]

Im out guys...

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan spinners Toiling hard here to get the breakthrough.

 

[akamaka]

Cmon this is boring.

 

[adnan yasin]

This is getting tensed now

 

[arehaan]

This is too easy. Whats with the negative tactic of bowling around the wicket

 

[Watsupdoc]

Out out out!!! Yes!!!

Babar you beauty!

 

[hefaith]

yes finally

 

[ChachaCricket]

Now Babar is set for another 5 matches.

 

[Asif321]

zulfi bhai

 

[Watsupdoc]

Great catch by Younis!

 

[ritzy_123]

Aala boyz great catch..

 

[Watsupdoc]

Now Babar is set for another 5 matches.

Is that a good thing or a bad one?

 

[Strike!]

Got the breakthrough!

 

[Logical]

Younis catches everything.

 

[Shafi]

Finally!!!! Thanks Zulfi Baba

 

[ChachaCricket]

Is that a good thing or a bad one?

You decide.

 

[ChachaCricket]

That was an excellent catch by Younis indeed. Bucket hands.

 

[akamaka]

thank god, now even if the pitch is slow and flat, england just lost their anchor.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Babar is out bowling Yasir

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yasir now on fire. Come on Shah, destroy them.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Yasir troubling stokes but Bairstow finding it easy against him.

 

[arehaan]

He's the only one creating chances, Yasir is looking toothless.

definitely proved me wrong

 

[Watsupdoc]

You need to have a silly point for stokes as well.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

zulfi you beauty. people dont realize that you can have a few bad games. zulfi is a veteran. hes bowlin beautifully

 

[akamaka]

ahaha stokes looking like a tailender

 

[Big Mac]

Where are all the wrist-slitters now?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Woow, that was a hell of a delivery

 

[Red Devil]

Google gets him

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

There's your variation [MENTION=47981]b[/MENTION]ulletdrive

 

[#GreenRoars]

Where are all the wrist-slitters now?

Praying for rain may be

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bowled him!!! Looks like Misbah told him to bowl a Googly!

 

[Shafi]

Need atleast a wicket for a chance to win!!!!

 

[hefaith]

What a beauty

 

[Shafi]

Wow!!!
Gone!!!

 

[ChachaCricket]

Beautifully bowled.

 

[Logical]

Misbah's call for googly there. Good captaincy.

 

[akamaka]

but yasir doesn't have variation

 

[hefaith]

can pakistan get them before the new ball?

 

[battler]

Bowled!
England hurtling towards defeat here!

 

[Naim]

Thats googly of yasir

 

[Watsupdoc]

To be honest that bowl was really full. Bairstow could have stopped it with a straight bat.

 

[ahanank]

Wow, the umpires are checking for no-balls, even from the spinners.
And almost every catch now.
