*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Niall]

I absolutely hate it when they stop trying to get one of the last two batsmen out.

Don't get to upset, I recall NZ spending the guts of a session bowling to these 2 and it was absolutely horror to watch, towards the end Rahat was thinking he was a proper batsman as he was having it so easy

The NZ lads will back me up, but that horror session probably cost them a famous series win.

On the flip side, I don't like Pakistan sorta just surviving. hope they don't fall short by 5 overs...

lololol Cook

 

[Spark]

clang

 

[Spark]

god cook's catching technique looks ugly

 

[smash84]

no harm done, its only rahat, he'll be out soon

 

[91Jmay]

Jesus ****ing Christ. Our catching is an abortion.

 

[smash84]

now that the lead is 100 pak are going to relax,

 

[Cabinet96]

That was so bad. Finn has been unlucky this series, in fairness.

god that was a tedious hour of cricket

Absolutely. Pulling teeth

 

[Compton]

Broad and Woakes both have three wickets in this match at under 30. Proof that averages mean nothing on their own?

Only for such a tiny sample size.

 

[smash84]

Now then. Batting 4th on this pitch will be hard as ****. England getting to 250 should get alarm bells ringing for pak

 

[Dan Jamson]

Hales and Vince are playing for their places.

 

[91Jmay]

Woakes hasn't bowled that awfully compared with Broad or Finn. Finn done a lot of back of a length easily leaveable crap.

 

[Furball]

100 run opening partnership and this will be a sensational finish to the Test IMO. Beautifully poised.

Given Pakistan's day yesterday it really feels like England have gotten away with it so far.

sohail won't be very effective now, his surprise element is gone

 

[Groundking]

Hales and Vince are playing for their places.

Vince is, but nah Hales isn't, there aren't any alternatives

 

[Niall]

Time for Amir to step up, not been good enough so far this series and now that has batting has gone, if he fails here, Imran should come in the next test.
