*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[flibbertyjibber]

Well all of a sudden we start taking wickets. Makes you wonder what the Pakistan bowlers will do though if we are finally making breakthroughs, we could be 20-3 by tea.

 

[Dan Jamson]

Joel Dickhead is proving to be a very poor umpire.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why bring Finn on? may as well bowl Vince at least he will make them play.

Elite panel umpire my ***

 

[Daemon]

sohail was just an inch away from stepping onto his stumps there, and he was on the front foot

guys i can not wait for Jimmy Anderson's cry about this

To be honest he has nothing to moan about, he had 2 warnings so should stay away. If they have given him a warning he is getting close and he ignored that then it is his fault.

Get these last two wicket before the lead gets past 100, and then try to get to the end of the day just 1 down and we'll be in a good place IMO.

you'll still be in Birmingham

Making up this deficit will be hard but so will batting 4th

Need to keep them to 400 for a decent shot at it, but I think whether or not we hold catches in the 4th is the big thing

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, he didn't seem that put out by it. Reading Dobell's piece overnight he was clearly embarrassed by how he carried on yesterday and has toned it down.

 

[Dan Jamson]

Steven Finn has yet to find a sport he's good at.

I would advise swimming.

 

[Zinzan]

Who's the best pure gloveman, Bairstow or Buttler?

 

[91Jmay]

We need to set them 300~ I think. Any less with a crap spinner isn't defendable I don't think. So that means 420 odd batting 3rd. Really hard ask.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is such a useful lead.

 

[91Jmay]

Who's the best pure gloveman, Bairstow or Buttler?

Buttler fairly comfortably, although he is no more than decent.

 

[Zinzan]

Can they squeeze another 30 runs for a lead of 120? That'd be more than handy.

 

[91Jmay]

That was an absolutely great over from Broad. Ball doing enough when you bend your back and get it in the right areas. This pitch is not a dead, flat road like some are making out (in comms box, not much in here).

 

[MW1304]

If Broad steals a 3/70-odd it would be an injustice after the way he's bowled.

Pakistan wasting their hard work of yesterday, it'll be a nightmare batting 4th on this pitch
