poor away performance this
Lahore crowd getting pretty rowdy
Can our spinners make a difference after the poor performance in India?

Haha, I've played with a guy who used to score in the same manner as this bloke, and it used to infuriate fielding teams so often.

Bowling these lengths, it'll be interesting to see how early they can get some reverse swing and scuff up the ball. I'd imagine that they'd have been bowling cross seam for the majority of them, as they haven't really been bowling full enough to get any swing.

If Pakistan win this and Amir is fit, should he come back for the final?
Tbh, since his return to the side he's been largely coasting on his 09/10 reputation as his results show. I know it's a long-term investment with him but I reckon Pakistan look a better bowling unit without him in it.

Nah for that England needed Rashid Khan. This is the wrong Rashid for this job today.

He's the 2nd best bowler in this team even on current form, after Hasan Ali.

Morgan brave enough to bring in the leg spinner to the leftie? Hope so.

To be sure Pakistan were excellent with the ball (and in the field!) and the pitch isn't a belter, but that was a very disappointing batting performance from England.
They've built a reputation over the past couple of years of being ultra-aggressive and very successful with it; but when their big challenge arrived in doing it in a knockout semi, they lost their nerve and went into their shell more and more as the innings progressed.
England's big missed opportunity was against the leggie Shadab. He was nervous early on and they got a boundary or two but they missed some opportunities and let him grow in confidence and bowl on his terms eventually. When you factor in their timidness against the offies they really dug themselves a hole.
