*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

That innings at 7 broke something in Cook imo

Cook has been streaky as **** so far.

In the end a poor session from Pakistan... England looking in a good position.

You can do better than that

disappointing session from Pakistan...but I'd be starting with Amir and Rahat again after lunch...don't over-bowl Wahab in the first 15 overs

 

[91Jmay]

You can do better than that

no he can't

He was just getting confused between his classification of English openers and his classification of bacon.

Of course under this illusion Cook is streaky; Atherton is back etc.

Root reminds me of sangakkara vs pak. Looks impossible to dislodge. What's his avg against pak?

One of the many things that kept me restless about this series was the slip catching. Misbah wants to be near his quicker bowlers, so he won't be at slips. In the UAE where he would at max have 2 slips, he would have YK and Azhar. But here when he needs 3, I knew it was going to be Hafeez and that was going to be a bit tricky for Pak.

I think Asad Shafiq needs to be groomed there a bit more.

 

[91Jmay]

Shafiq is 30 isn't he? Surely he can either slip or not at this point?

Ok Sanga was Bradmanesque against Pakistan. Root could very well get there in the future, but right now is nowhere near. Hasn't even got a hundred yet.

Imran Khan is in the house

Wahab never disappoints. Always a 4 ball around the corner

12th man for the match isn't he?

 

[Daemon]

first no ball of the day..

 

[Daemon]

Pathetic fielding that from Rahat Ali. Dive ffs, or at the very least fall down.

 

[91Jmay]

Still can't really keep the runs down can they. Not at same rate as before lunch but still ticking along nicely.

Indeed

This utter dross we have seen has proved that people have very much over estimated this attack before the Summer. Its better than Sri Lanka obviously but its nowhere near the elite bowling attacks in test cricket.
