Pakistan v England 3rd Test

[dangermows]

Just tuning in. How's the pitch playing?

haway!

30 mins to skittle them all out will be class please and thanks

Haha nothing at all optimistic about that marra.
Fingers crossed we can have them out around our score then take it to a one innings game.

Might be worth giving Root a couple of overs before lunch.

 

[Keith S30S]

The bowling changes have been rather odd. Rehan doesn't bowl until after 40 overs. Stokes doesn't bowl at all. Root bowls 1 over.

Leach and Bashir taking 3 wickets in 40 odd overs.

Just not enough mixing it up to keep things fresh and the batsman guessing.

See ya

 

[Silly Point]

Is it me or is this a long session?

 

[dangermows]

Tremendous.

Possibly but I'd actually go back to Bashir.

Get in.

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Rehan is mint like, shame he doesnt bowl that often.... surely we can find him somewhere to bowl ?

 

[Aidan11]

Yes Rehan. The googlie.

They praised Stokes to the hilt yesterday for his captaincy and bowling changes.

It's not you - extended because if Friday prayers

Leach is a bit predictable ATM, need to switch it a bit , he doesnt look like he'll take another wicket.

 

[brandon]

Having a bad innings but he’s still our best spinner imo.

Hopefully gets his act together for the second dig.

Beat the bat a couple of times last over tbf.

Hope we can keep this going and get a bit of a lead. Not the sort of match for letting the tail wag. We're - well, Rehan - doing well though.

Looking at stats it seems all have done well as they aren't giving up boundaries.

 

[Aidan11]

Shame Rehan didn't play in the second test.

Might have been a totally different game.

 

[Keith S30S]

If they'd had Rehan on earlier we might have been batting again now.

Might not either. Younger pitch. Younger ball. Batsmen faced less. All plays a part.

They were probably concerned that Stokes might break down. Ironically he hasn't bowled at all this game.
