*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[Starfighter]

Do bowlers take more wickets after scoring tail-end runs or does it just feel that way?

Often seemed to be the case with Mitchell Johnson.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

276 to win. Want 3 by lunch

 

[wpdavid]

I suppose the good news was that it only took 2.4 overs

 

[91Jmay]

100 run win most likely.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We won't get 200.

 

[Starfighter]

Highest chase on this ground 294, next highest 231.

 

[Burgey]

That’s too many for England

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Having said we had zero chance at Headingley last year I'm going to say the same here.
A left armer swinging at pace with the new ball and a half decent leg spinner on a turning pitch = disaster for this line up.

 

[Starfighter]

I see Pakistan have selected the super dark ball for this innings.

Pretty sure Shaheen is bowling a yard slower than he did in Australia.

Anyone else expecting Abbas to get Sibley lbw again?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

keeper and slips are too far back it wont carry

Anyone else expecting Abbas to get Sibley lbw again?

Michael Vaughan for one.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah I like Sibley but his technique is a long way from flawless and Abbas should seriously test it.

 

[trundler]

Can we get Holding to shut the **** up about pace when Abbas is bowling? Get Nas on

its holding

 

[Howe_zat]

England by 3 wickets

 

[smash84]

This is definitely not the start i was expecting from England. The openers look far more solid than last time.

 

[Starfighter]

Burns playing miles from his body here.

 

[a massive zebra]

Good solid start for the mighty England.
