*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[honestbharani]

Well at least they are fighting. Could well pull off a draw here as it seems it is supposed to rain a lot for the next two days.

Rizwan is one of few bright spots to come out of Pakistan’s tour. Comfortably the keeper of the summer in the field and an ongoing irritant with the bat

Best gloveman in world?

Not many good glovemen around but he is certainly one of them.

If they do sneak a weather assisted draw it would probably ruin England's chances for the WTC final.

 

[harsh.ag]

Finally some good batting

 

[honestbharani]

Azhar Ali showing the mental side of his game is still clicking, even if his technique seems to be rather shot.

 

[vcs]

Yeah seems to have found some touch now.

 

[vcs]

Looked very close

Yep, trimming the bails.. actually thought it was hitting the wickets flush in real time

 

[Howe_zat]

Turning into an innings and a half huh

 

[Daemon]

Depending on how long Azhar and Rizwan are able to last, a bit of rain wiping out half a session today wouldn't hurt England. Keeps them rested for when the follow on is enforced.

 

[honestbharani]

Isn't the forecast for heavy rains for next two days?

 

[Pothas]

This is when they miss Stokes with the ball.

 

[Neptune]

Yep. We rely on Stokes so much in times like these.

 

[Pothas]

Great effort, such a good innings.

 

[Bijed]

Yeah, that's really well played. Worthy of the epithet of "Captain's Knock"

 

[wpdavid]

Yup, they've both been excellent. New ball or bust for England, one suspects.

Still largely depends on the weather. Tomorrow looks like it could go either way.

 

[vcs]

Top catch.

I see what you mean. And as we speak, Woakes gets a leg side strangle to open up one end.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah... unless Azhar smacks into slog mode, this is done for sub 230 and a follow on. But I won't rule out stubborn batting by Pak in the second dig for the draw, along with the rain dances of course.
