*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[kevinw]

Even if we're chasing 300 we have a good batting line up and their spinners are handy but not Ashwin or Jadeja.

 

[Molehill]

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

They've got 3 left still so would hardly have made a difference. As you say, just not a great look really.

Carse's bowling a huge positive from this Test regardless of result.

Right, more just saying people can't just assume Pakistan got super lucky because it's not like it was obviously out anyway. Just a strange oversight in the protocol I think, it should be more flexible.

 

[BazBall21]

Could England be chasing under 300?

50 too many I think. Need Duckett and Root to have absolute screamers.

 

[Molehill]

Anyway, that's that. I suspect England will be 3 down by close.

Nah, 70-0 off 10.

 

[Jarquis]

How many overs is Zahid bowling? Pakistan could effectively beat us with 10 here…

 

[BazBall21]

Nah, 70-0 off 10.

Don't think Zak survives tonight

 

[danzydab]

No clue why Stokes didn't go with the bouncer barrage tactic earlier.
Eng have to bazball their behinds off to chase this down now

 

[Johan]

if Root makes a 100 I'll be very happy

 

[sayon basak]

if Root makes a 100 I'll be very happy

Us man, us.
(Badly want him to overtake Smith's ICC Rating of 947)

 

[Silver Silva]

Highest successful 4th innings run chase in Pakistan is 315 , Pakistan chased 315 vs Australia back in 1994 in Karachi .

 

[Howe_zat]

This is a fairly perpetual state of affairs, yes

 

[danzydab]

Carse's bowling a huge positive from this Test regardless of result.

Yea.
England have found their no.8 away from home.
Probably makes the Ashes

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

50 too many I think. Need Duckett and Root to have absolute screamers.

I think so too. It's that psychological thing of the number having a 2 at the start, I was clutching to.

Tricky time to come out as well.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if Zak gets through on a pitch that just doesn't suit him and I'd rather have you in a crisis than Pope.

 

[BazBall21]

Pakistan by about 50-60. Got a hunch we threaten but it'll be just too many in the end.
