Test Pakistan v England (3 Test Matches)

[akkaps]

I would declare now, unless these the English are told to hit out. Just worried bout tiring out the lower order as they will have to bowl the majority of the rest of the game

 

[Plugger35]

Brook gone, threw away a four hundred, reckless batting.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Leech would be odds on for a 50 on this deck

Let’s go for that

 

[Plugger35]

England going past 800 now, I can't recall a team scoring this much, I remember India scoring over 700 in Sydney back in 2004.

That pitch was a road too with Tendulkar grinding out a double ton off over 400 balls.

England putting Pakistan out of their misery with a declaration, a lead of 267 runs, only they can win this test match now.

 

[eddiesmith]

Would be one of the all time greatest victories if we pull this one off. Plus would keep Bazball’s perfect record in tact when conceding 500!

 

[TY24]

Good to see the English bats enjoying their traditional stat padding tour on these Pakistani freeways

Yeah not sure about that. This is a Pakistan side that just a few weeks ago capitulated to series loss to Bangladesh.

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully Pakistan can show some fight with the bat here but they look defeated already after conceding over 800 runs.

I don't recall test matches between two sub continent teams, mainly because there was never any tv coverage of those tests.

Clearly you never did statistics at high school.

Clearly you never played any serious level of sport ever.

 

[Plugger35]

Shafique bowled by Woakes first ball, not the start Pakistan needed.

 

[Cleavy]

lol first ball duck

 

[PhatBoy]

This is woakes’ moment to actually HAVE a moment, away from home. Can he lift them to a win

 

[Bradesmaen]

Clearly you never played any serious level of sport ever.

Yep because you have to play sports at an elite level to understand sports all together.

 

[Plugger35]

A soft dismissal from Masood, it's time for Babar to step up and score a ton or at least a fifty.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Massood is so bad and flaky was never lasting long

 

[PhatBoy]

Massood is so bad and flaky was never lasting long

Look I don’t necessarily disagree but regardless of the conditions he DID score 150 a whole three days ago so he’s still probably in credit for the match at least

 

[FreoRicci]

The highest test score by any team against Pakistan, records continue to tumble, great for England but embarrassing for Pakistan.

Imran Khan needs to quit politics and take over as their coach, he would sort them out.

Unfair tbh.

India control the monopoly. They’re laughing at this, and Pakistan probably will be banned from hosting test cricket given the politics.

 

[Plugger35]

Babar gone followed by Ayub, wickets are looking easier to get now.

Pakistan are folding like a deck of cards.

 

[PhatBoy]

Oh dear

 

[MJG14]

Boy oh boy Pakistan

 

[PhatBoy]

Babar gone followed by Ayub, wickets are looking easier to get now.

Pakistan are folding like a deck of cards.

As well as Pakistan’s already flaky batting, it’s looks like just the weight of a) runs and b) a team who’s spent 5 sessions getting carted everywhere in blazing heat facing an attack with its feet up in the dressing room that whole time. The ball to get Babar was nice but it’s been relatively unremarkable bowling

Sure but when you are saving a match you’ve already given two chances why the blue moon are you trying to hit every ball for 4
