*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[MW1304]

Ball and Moeen have kept the pressure on pretty well so Finn really needs to follow suit here.

Edit: Decent start. That might be the longest delay in making a decision I've seen. Another leg side one given.

 

[Jono]

wow wow wow

 

[91Jmay]

take it? That'd be an absolutely massive result for England. Would be clear favourites

I don't see us chasing anymore than 240 on this pitch.

Wow this could be a huge moment. Longest time to make the decision I can remember

 

[Jono]

Holy **** that's a massive moment

stop telling everyone who's ahead of who and when it's even stevens and when pakistan are in deep ****. nobody cares about your odds either. behave yourself.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gotta review

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah that didn't look very good from the first replay. Younos is having the luck required to score a match winning knock.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ridiculously scratchy innings but he's still there.

 

[StephenZA]

Never looked out...

Amazing the 3rd umpire always says well done when they get it right... but never tell them they suck when they get it wrong!

 

[OverratedSanity]

Anyone know why Younis' back foot is ending up 2 feet in the air after every shot he plays?

 

[Jono]

That replay showed just how awkward Younis is batting, notwithstanding the fact it was out. He was weirdly unbalanced.

Yeah his batting in UAE was strange enough but this is really odd. Doesn't look like it's working either.

 

[Jono]

"two away from Wahab" says the fielders.


Wahab sitting in the pavilion going "hey come on now"

 

[wpdavid]

Worryingly uneven bounce here.

 

[Jono]

For those that watched, how was Younis batting in the first innings? Presumably stance was more balanced?

 

[fredfertang]

This is England's now - we're just going to pick them off unless they change their tempo - becalmed at the moment

 

[Jono]

yeah you're right, I've proven I was already right.

 

[91Jmay]

Ball has backed up Woakes spell superbly here. Probing and accurate.

Its funny you talk about change of tempo because its what Misbah tried to do, but he just didn't execute. If that's in the stands everyone is praising him.

Game of inches.

Nah, was the same. Looked quite odd out there.
