Pakistan vs England | 2nd Test | Dubai | Oct 22-26 | Day 5

[dhump]

First time in the day Yasir is looking any good with the ball.

 

[axl100mph]

Oh god too tense

Why??
We arent winning bro, accept it

 

[Shafi]

Rashid looks better than Younis+Misbah+Root

 

[Strike!]

We have to make him play somehow.

 

[dhump]

Yasir clearly lacking a good googly here..Adil leaving very confidently.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Rashid is just too good with those leaves...

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

shouldnt be a draw ......... they have had quite a go on these two batsmen.

 

[#GreenRoars]

When Wahab will come?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Even Wood is playing them like Bradman.

 

[Shafi]

Rashid seriously has the potential to be a great batsman.

 

[Bilal7]

Oh man, this is going to be horrible. England just won't die!

 

[Watsupdoc]

We need to bring Wahab in the attack and attack the stumps.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Why??
We arent winning bro, accept it

England is not winning - accepted.

 

[dhump]

When Wahab will come?

I think he is too tiered to ball anything special now.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Bring wahab now or its too late

 

[WC-Passion]

Amla bhai would be proud.

 

[Jabo]

Going to be a draw if one doesn't go by 8

 

[Watsupdoc]

Another toothless over comes to an end.

 

[dhump]

Rashid seriously has the potential to be a great batsman.

I am more impressed with Wood as a batsman better than few english top order batsmans.

 

[Sam1]

Rashid seriously has the potential to be a great batsman.

Steve Smith v2 ?

 

[axl100mph]

England is not winning - accepted.

I meant pakistan

[Strike Rate]

Man this is getting frustrating

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

 

[JibranAnsari]

England deserve a draw after The tails efforts. Pakistan has looked toothless in the last two sessions apart from one good delivery by wahab.

 

[Executioner]

If England manage to escape defeat, this stand will be regarded as being one of the best ever.

i think england are on of the teams who manages to make such escapes. They did it against Australia, and ofcourse more famously against NZ in NZ last year

 

[Strike Rate]

England should open with Rashid in next match his technique is far better than Moeen

 

[street cricketer]

I thought this match was over on the 3rd day, but what a climax this is inching upon. Bloody Test cricket!

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Sharjah = turning pitch

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wahab in the attack now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Might as well give Younis khan or asad shafiq an over each, anything is worth a try now.

 

[WC-Passion]

Wahab into the attack

 

[dhump]

Wahab to ball and I guess last trick for Pakistan now.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Finally Wahab is on. Come on, deliver a toe crusher please

 

[Shafi]

Steve Smith v2 ?

Far far better. Wish we have such a batsman in the middle or lower order.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Hats off to English county cricket for producing proper cricketers who do the basics even at #10. Our laloos like Rahat Imran Junaid Irfan Zulfi are an embarrassment lower down.

[Yossarian]

Pathetic bowling

 

[dhump]

He should ball quick straight and full.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Going through the motions Pakistan team.

[akamaka]

honestly time for wahab to crank it up to 150+

 

[Markhor]

Pitch hasn't deteriorated or produced the sharp turn on Day 5 as we thought it would, god the UAE conditions are so frustrating.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Wahab go for the yorker!

6 good yorkers - tail-enders are fairly certain to miss at least one of them!

 

[Strike Rate]

Wahab should bowl some quick bouncers and than a yorker.

 

[Watsupdoc]

A review or two will be very handy at this stage.

 

[dhump]

Kaisay ??

 

[saeed-sohail]

Getting this wicket is the key as I can't see Jimmy surviving Yasir out of the rough.

None of these are batting like tail-Enders though

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

yorker then a bouncer ........

 

[dhump]

Wahab go for the yorker!

6 good yorkers - tail-enders are fairly certain to miss at least one of them!

I always think this is a workable plan but never seen it used.

 

[WC-Passion]

12 overs left after this.

 

[rooster]

Why aren't these batsmen wasting time?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Adil is just super solid in defense!

 

[Shafi]

We need a spin bowler like Herath or Ashwin to put more pressure on batsmen.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

yorker then a bouncer ........

Bouncer then a yorker

 

[TalhaSyed]

I always think this is a workable plan but never seen it used.

It just seems to have gone out of the game man which is a shame.

If a bowler like Wahab peppers a tail ender with a bouncer or two and then delivers a number of back to back toe crushers - I am certain the tail-ender is more likely to be dismissed rather than surviving

 

[WC-Passion]

Why aren't these batsmen wasting time?

Really?

 

[m.shah]

These two has batted for almost 30 overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This is a very frustating partnership...

 

[Strike Rate]

Muselmano mussala bichao or shuru hojao duaayen ab yehi aik rasta he

 

[hamzie]

hes seeing the ball like a bowling ball

 

[in_cutter]

Eng have all but sealed a draw. A massive moral victory.

 

[WC-Passion]

Wahab didn't even dent the brick wall.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Why aren't these batsmen wasting time?

Playing in the spirit of the game

12 overs left! Getting agonising now!

 

[Robert]

72 balls left.....

 

[Strike Rate]

If a bowler like Wahab peppers a tail ender with a bouncer or two and then delivers a number of back to back toe crushers - I am certain the tail-ender is more likely to be dismissed rather than surviving

This is what i want to see too a few deadly bouncers and a yorker after that

 

[WC-Passion]

Look at all those fielders staring at the batsmen

 

[JibranAnsari]

Cant blame the pitch here . we cant dismiss a number 10.

 

[hamzie]

aik tappa out?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Zulfi continues but so far no magic.

 

[Yossarian]

Eng have all but sealed a draw. A massive moral victory.

yep!

 

[Watsupdoc]

Just get a bloody wicket! Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

[dhump]

 

[HamzaSaeen]

There it is

 

[#GreenRoars]

Gone gone gone gone
Zulfi has done it

 

[rooster]

Really?

Why? A call for drinks, call for physio? Usually happens with every team.

 

[street cricketer]

Jimmy must be very anxious now with the SL loss at the back of his mind

 

[JibranAnsari]

England should feel like winning here

 

[Strike Rate]

GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bhangra time!

wait a minute i hope the catch was clean

 

[Markhor]

Out !

 

[Big Mac]

Zulfi the BEAST.

Going to be fuming when this is overturned by the third umpire

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Alhamdulillah!!!!!!!!!!! Come here babar i wanna kiss you. Anderson can bat so dont get too happy
