*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Agent Nationaux]

Crap.....time for a collapse

 

[BeeGee]

Good catch. Opens the door with the new ball available soon.

 

[smash84]

damn you asad, this might just go down the edgbaston test route

 

[Cabinet96]

Always something nice about a great player getting runs after a period of struggles.

 

[BeeGee]

Younis is in a frisky mood today. I'd love to see a Younis/Misbah classic.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Would love to see a long Younis and Misbah partnership

 

[Cabinet96]

Younis has scored at over a run a ball since he got out of his 25-33 range.

 

[GIMH]

Feel we could get a lead or a small deficit here, which I certainly wasn't thinking at three down

 

[Compton]

Survive with this pair until close and Pakistan should be looking 150+ lead.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah sad but he's been a problem again. Kind of feel we haven't really made any progress on where he stands in the last two tests despite his runs.

Yeah despite saying that we should never play 6 bowlers I sort of feel like he should get a proper go in the top 6 again, just play him as a batsman. Problem with that is that it still does nothing to solve the fact we have no spinner to replace him with.

 

[Top_Cat]

Agree with the leg side attack to Younis but maybe throw one at his leg-stump itself.

 

[fredfertang]

this wasn't meant to happen

 

[Compton]

Big wicket, that. Once Pakistan moved into the lead Misbah would have looked to do some damage against Moeen.

 

[BeeGee]

Woakes deserved that. Bowling well.

 

[Top_Cat]

Nick to wide slip is turning into the canonical Woakes out.

 

[Spark]

wtf

 

[MW1304]

Need to do what we did last time and keep the lead down. This isn't just a flatty but it's easy to score off. Key of course is to actually bat sensibly next innings, take the loss out of the equation.

That's a poor shot, Hafeez would be proud.

 

[Pothas]

This has gone quite well since I got home. was so sure that was going to loop to safety.

 

[Top_Cat]

Non-canonical Woakes wicket there.

Good lord, how does someone go from looking world class to village in two balls.

 

[Howe_zat]

After having spent about 45 minutes discussing Iftikhar and his role in the side this morning, I missed his entire innings
