Pakistan v England 3rd Test

[brandon]

Unlikely. But can I see this Pakistan team being rolled over in a 4th innings? Yeah.

I could see them being rolled over if they’ve got to chase 200+, but they won’t even be chasing three figures.

 

[scotch]

The Pakistan 8,9 and 10 have outscored our top 5 in this test, that's pretty damning

Can they bat 3 for England

 

[brandon]

Pakistan should declare, get us in for half hour at the close

They should.

I thought days like this were a thing of the past
There’s a couple of potential polls at play here.

First, how many wickets will England lose tonight?

I’m going 3 or more.

AND

How many wickets will we be down before we get parity.

I’m going with 5.

 

[zebediah]

Our seamer has more wickets than Leach on this pitch, damning.
Isn't this boys average something like 9?

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

These two should have had the new ball.

 

[Inside Forward]

Can I just say Stokes can fuck off for not bowling this young lad more. 32 overs for Leach man. What an absolute joke.

 

[FatCat2402]

They should.

Tonight...4
Parity.....8

Today has been an absolute clusterfuck

 

[Leon Solent]

Well, that was painful.

1000%. Got it brutally wrong today. Unfortunately it won’t even be an issue in the second innings because we won’t have enough runs either way.

I’ve liked your post, but I’m sure you can understand I don’t like the situation/reality.

I predict that both Crawley and Pope will be out before the end of play today.

 

[SuperSub]

Good figures for Ahmed there.

Now this is when we need to see our batsmen step up, in a 2nd innings to decide the series. Let's see how many of them take some responsibility.

 

[FatCat2402]

I fear Duckett is due a failure and if that happens it'll be like a pack of cards

 

[dangermows]

First ball for six....

 

[brandon]

England are 6/4 on bet365

I wouldn’t even back them at 5/1

 

[Classic94]

Finally…

Leach is a problem. Great lad but that was dire as our lead spinner. Better off investing in Bashir, Rehan etc.

 

[Fishpie]

Two wickets minimum gone before close of play.

Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see us lose five.

 

[zebediah]

They'll do some midnight raking tonight and it'll be a minefield again tomorrow when we bat.

 

[onlyducks]

Biggest hour in a long while for England, can’t win it but can certainly lose it

I’d retire him.

 

[Fleagle]

Even this team, whose aggressive approach I tend to defend, must appreciate that 20-4 by the close, all out sweeping two caught on the boundary, can’t this time be seen as “that’s just what we do”.
