Test Pakistan v England (3 Test Matches)

[akkaps]

They've only needed this wicket to add the 50 runs suggested above.

Also, the Poms giving Salman the strike at the end of each over shows no intent

Salman cutting loose and bringing up the 500 for Pakistan, that controversial catch on the boundary decision proving to be costly.

 

[Around the Wicket]

His run of form is absolutely bizarre - it’s now something like 15 innings without passing even 40 let alone 50 yet he’s only been dismissed in single figures twice. It’s not like he’s going out there just in wretched form and can’t get set

He only has 9 Test centuries, abit like Kohli early on just hasn’t went on a run of form yet

 

[Plugger35]

A ton for Salman with Pakistan close to 550.

Shaheen bowled now but the damage is done.

 

[MJG14]

Salman is a handy player.

Awful missed stumping from Jamie Smith.

 

[Plugger35]

It's unravelling for England now with a missed stumping and a dropped catch.

 

[Plugger35]

It looks like Duckett has dislocated his thumb catching Abrar to end the innings, he probably won't be able to open now.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

What a blinder of a catch.

 

[Plugger35]

A classic catch to dismiss Pope, Root is in already with Duckett not opening.

 

[sabso]

lol @ pope opening. Why would an exceptionally nervous starter volunteer to open in a test match?

He's getting hit on the pads/bowled a heap more now. He looks to have squared off his stance to try and stop edging balls outside off stump but as a consequence he's missing balls coming into him.

Might be a correlation there to your starts stat as teams try and get him to knick off early, doesn't work so they start targeting the stumps.

Wonder what happened to fawad alam. Just played his first games in nearly two years

He went on some type of reality game show in Pakistan and then moved to the USA for a bit.

Fawad Alam quits Pakistan cricket for career in USA

The left-hander has scored over 14,000 runs in domestic cricket in 201 first class games over 19 years

Crawley and Root getting England through to stumps, the pitch is still looking pretty flat so they could pile on the runs tomorrow.
