**Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

Makes more sense.. 9 wickets down on Day 5 may already be game over.

Exactly, 20 runs now are more important.

Arghhh Stokes pls no need to bat. This is risky.

 

[StephenZA]

Brave from Stokes... but think that was dangerous and unnecessary in context of the match.

Feel like we needed lead of 100+, will have to bowl seriously well now. Anything over 180 is going to be a big chase. Credit to Stokes for batting, and Samit has really played a good hand so far in this test. Happy for him.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bairstow never appealed so may be a giveaway. Tough to turn these over though without all the technology.

not out

 

[91Jmay]

Good overturn, would have been easy to just stick with on-field but braver call and there was enough evidence there.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Pakistan had 2 very good sessions here, probably ahead now seeing as we have to bat last.

 

[morgieb]

WHy isn't this up on ten sports today?

It's up for me, but it looks really blurry for some reason.

 

[Pothas]

This is not looking good at all.

 

[cnerd123]

Backing Azhar for a 100 and then a match-winning 5-fer in the 4th innings.

 

[Jono]

Great partnership

 

[wpdavid]

This is not looking good at all.

We're missing Swann badly. And even Panesar from a few years ago on this surface.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

toe on ground

 

[Jono]

Lol indoor cricket style stumping attempt

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Backing Azhar for a 100 and then a match-winning 5-fer in the 4th innings.

Mohammad Akram was calling for Azhar's head yesterday which did not make sense to me

 

[Black_Warrior]

Both sessions to Pakistan today after the first two days belonged to England.

 

[Howe_zat]

life is **** and so is this

 

[91Jmay]

Missing Stokes meant we had to go to spin early and released all the pressure. Expect Pakistan to bat us out of the game in next three sessions, we need wickets quickly after tea.
