England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

I feel close to Azhar Ali’s wicket every ball because of his technique. His big hundreds must be soul-destroying.

Plus the fact that he's the most attritional batsman in the world.

A lot to love about him but watching is hard

Salman in England would be jokes. Plays so far away from his body.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Or if they lose possibly the most stupid of all time.

That fine line between braveness and stupidity, all things being equal if Pakistan chase down 342 from this position it's actually a great effort considering Pakistan have genuine tailenders from No.8-11...That must have also played a role in Ben Stokes thinking .

 

[BazBall21]

One more wicket in the next half hour and it should be ours. Too much time for the tail. There will be some naughty time wasting from Pakistan in that scenario.

Agha Salman doesn't look comfortable.

@SillyCowCorner1 Anderson 2/22

Azhar Ali had a right old fish at that.

How much time do people think is left before the light makes it too hard to play on?

About an hour into the final session maybe.

Pakistan favourites again on Google. Good last day this.

 

[BazBall21]

Poor planning could still cost a result

 

[BazBall21]

Azhar Ali this is an absolute gem of a knock. They looked ****ed when the 5th went down.

 

[morgieb]

Think the Poms need to change strategy now, these two are looking too comfortable. Still given Pakistan have 4 #11's, one wicket could well blow this right open.

pak going to break my heart i can feel it, cmon prove me wrong boys

 

[morgieb]

Some of these drives from Salman are ***y as ****.

Agreed. Leach would ask some different questions. And give the quicks a breather before we take the new ball.

 

[BazBall21]

Would have been funny if he started jumping up and down like a **** claiming the run out

 

[TheJediBrah]

Down leg

 

[trundler]

Aaaand that's why Pakistan is bad at test cricket. So dumb
