*Official* Pakistan tour of Ireland, England and Scotland 2018

Are the conditions swing friendly or is this all Pakistan?

Oh well at least Pakistan have drawn a second series in England in a row. That's pretty impressive.

At 7/88 you'd have to think a bit of both.

Early days. Lets see how England's batting fares.

 

[Niall]

Sascha and Dzumhur are having a great match, judging by the scorecard. I do worry about how much he'll have left in the tank by the 2nd week though, with all these 5 setters (that is assuming he comes through this one as well).

Was a great match, but think Dzu' blew it somewhat. A dire effort to serve it out and blew the 10th game in the fifth set which would have ensured victory.

Conditions are friendly to the bowlers; most of the batsmen have got out playing across the line.

 

[vcs]

Seems like Anderson and Broad are making the ball talk as much as Jordan Peterson in a typical YouTube video.

 

[wpdavid]

Sounds like Broad's unlucky not to have picked up a five-for.

 

[Xuhaib]

can we bowl England out for 150?

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Cook will get runs here cause there's no pressure now the bowlers did all the work.

Pakistan overestimated their batting given how inexperienced it still is and there are guys there still settling in their positions. Other than Imam, can't really say anyone played a bad shot. Azhar is struggling with a few technical issues that have crept in his game now and got a good inswinging ball.

But Haris and Shafiq had recovered from that..then Haris played like a guy who's still learning to bat at 3 in Tests while Shafiq got the best ball of the day. Salahuddin is playing his first test and Sarfraz was facing a Jimmy Anderson with his tail up.

To answer your question, neither. Just Test cricket.

It'd be just like Pakistan to Pakistan this one up wouldn't it?

Thought Sarfraz and Haris dismissals were ordinary

 

[wpdavid]

Time for Woakes to finish them off.

 

[Borges]

Shadab Khan is batting quite beautifully.

 

[wpdavid]

They're both doing a fine job for their side.

 

[smash84]

Wow, just woke up to this. WTH happened?

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wow, just woke up to this. WTH happened?

can't see why you're surprised. This is the performance you always expect from them anyway

This is the reason i expect such a performance usually. Whenever they do well (for example the last test) they follow it up with something like this.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Shadab is a cricket god.
