*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

Shafiq's the danger here for England. Sure he may give a chance but he's playing his shots. Could get that lead over 220 quickly.

YK in that session was one of the most jittery, unsure that I have seen. His shuffle, crouch and jump, all of which were pretty much always there in his batting is not becoming a problem. This reminds me of Inzy back in 06, coming off his most successful year in test cricket in 05, getting in trouble time and again lbw in England and South Africa with his shuffle. And that was his final year in test cricket. Just can't help but feel YK might be heading the same way :(

The last time I saw him struggle like this was on the first morning against Australia in 2014 with Pakistan around 20/2. That first hour he looked like getting out, and somehow survived and scored a century and followed that up with a double and another century in the second. But he had said then that he got out in that first morning, he probably wouldn't have got those runs. I hope that happens again this time..but these are different conditions and with Anderson, an excellent in swing bowler back from next game, not sure if he can come out of this with the same success.

Will be worth watching the Channel 5 highlights later just to hear how many of Sir Geoffrey's elderly female relatives would have been in better nick

And that was his first sweep shot in this innings and he has played 92 balls. That's how badly he is struggling this innings

And Ramiz Raja of all people was asked to provide analysis on YK this innings. What a dreadful analysis it was too..'playing for a draw'. Yeah YK just decided 'you know what guys..I don't think we can win this game..let me bat for the next 3 days'
