*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[Spark]

That's real poor by Bashir.

 

[BazBall21]

I've switched off. It's done. I'll watch when we're batting.

 

[Molehill]

The drops of Salman have probably decided this. Sajid is clearly having the Test of his life and can seemingly get away with anything.

 

[Spark]

Just saw a replay of the Smith drop. It's a very bad drop but the Blundell one is quite a bit worse IMO, ball is dipping and is down by his shins from what I could see.

 

[BazBall21]

Stokes has been a major upgrade on Root, but he hasn't been able to shift England's misery v the lower order.

not enough 90mph

England aren't batting yet

Why does no Hawkeye mean you can't review a caught behind decision? That makes absolutely no sense.

 

[BazBall21]

DRS all of a sudden down when England finally get a wicket?

 

[BazBall21]

not enough 90mph

Even Wood struggles v the tail. Not enough emphasis on the stumps.

 

[kevinw]

I still think the bowling tactics for good batters should be the same as for poorer ones. I remember loads of short ball garbage when Bumrah had his few decent innings.

Yeah, we need someone like Starc, who can bowl an accurate yorker at good speeds.

 

[Molehill]

Didn't look like he hit it anyway. Slips and keeper didn't appeal (although they have been wrong once this Test).

Yeah it didn't seem like an edge to me. Just can't understand the logic behind no Hawkeye meaning no DRS.

Apparently DRS was fine the previous over to overturn a wicket too? Pakistan have had some insane luck in this Test

Or on the other hand England were lucky not to lose a review.

ngl this sounds like cheating, are we back in the 80s?

This is garbage.

Only going by what I've heard TBF

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Could England be chasing under 300?
