*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Groundking]

Yeah if we don't clean up ASAP we'll lose this by an innings

 

[Viscount Tom]

It's alright saying England have the firepower to draw this match but lets not forget that Hales, Vince and Ballance have all done very little of note this series and don't seem likely to do so here.

Going at 6 an over for 10 overs now.

We need to either stop playing in London or dig the ****ing pitches up

Couldn't disagree actually. Our track record at The Oval is dire unless we're playing an Indian tam in free-fall, and from memory we're not much better at Lord's.
Mind you, it doesn't help that our senior quicks just seem to shrug their shoulders and sulk in this neck of the woods.

I can't tell which is worse, smali's post or the bolded. Even if England have little chance of a victory, England have the firepower to draw this match easily, or at least give Pakistan a good total to bat for. It would take a collapse of epic proportions on a day 4 pitch for them to lose by an innings.

Have seen England collapse in exactly this situation a number of times in recent years though. When England lose, they can get absolutely hammered sometimes.

It's because theyou produce flat wickets that often helps the opposition it much more than it does us.

 

[nightprowler10]

Surely that's out.

 

[Spark]

Wow I thought that was gong down for sure

 

[Viscount Tom]

Was wondering if that was going to be pitching outside leg there.

 

[nightprowler10]

Holy ****, a lot less plumb than I thought it would be.

review?

 

[wpdavid]

review?

I think he did.

Great knock sir.

 

[burr]

I'm enjoying this hugely. Younis, what a star you are.

 

[nightprowler10]

review?

Yeah umpire's call on impact on pad and stumps.

 

[DriveClub]

Is hawk eye reliable for a full toss? Doubtful how much accurate its prediction can be without enough data

 

[smash84]

well played Younis,

not bad after Pak were 3/1 at the end of day 1.

 

[nightprowler10]

Why is root still on? Trying to get Amir to 50?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pakistan have this in the bag I think. England need something monumental from here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh and people please stop responding to smali please. I like gambhiring too when India play but his posts are a complete joke at this point.

Need to bat more than 5 sessions here to save this test. Unlikely.
