3rd Test England v Pakistan
England currently 93-3 approaching lunch. Vince and Ballance at crease. Both need a score to establish themselves in this side.
Men out: Cook 45, Hales 17, Root 3.

Vince out for 39. Ballance still going on 53.
Stop looking for solutions to symptoms and start identifying the disease.
Re: 3rd Test England v Pakistan
Slightly iffy shot from Vince again. Not a wild drive outside off for a change, a defensive prod outside off.

Excellent, you get a whole bottle for using your initiative and the clip in full as a bonus:league 2 blues wrote:Rick from The Young Ones [1982]Guernsey Blue wrote:"We're getting thrashed. We're getting completely thrashed. Isn't there some way we can cheat?"

And back on topic, Misbah bowled Anderson for 56, 358/6, lead currently 61.
Still a sticky situation though (cue another comedy clip.....)

Re: 3rd Test England v Pakistan
374-8 now. Thing is can England bat with a bit more discipline when they go in again? Personally I think England are staring down the barrel here, its asking an awful lot to put a competitive score together when you are 100 odd behind. Pakistan currently lead by 80.

Re: 3rd Test England v Pakistan
Got a bit dark and overcast here which is helping the bowling. Feels like it could rain in next hour or so.

Re: 3rd Test England v Pakistan
Spot on gunner, stats are against any side conceding a 1st innings lead of 100+, so it will take one hell of a batting performance to turn this around.pompeygunner wrote:374-8 now.

And just to compound matters, Anderson has been taken out of the attack having received his 3rd warning for running on the pitch. Marginal, harsh, maybe, but perhaps if he hadn't got so uppity with the umpires yesterday, they might have been a bit more inclined to cut him some slack.

Re: 3rd Test England v Pakistan
So, Pakistan finally all out for 400, a lead of 103. England are going to need an absolute of minimum of 350 to make a game of this I'd have thought. Won't be easy given the way they batted first time around.
Still, a couple of other crumbs of comfort - the Aussies are getting their ar$es handed to them by Sri Lanka and Hampshire are belatedly finding a bit of form in the County Championship, currently 520/5 against Lancashire.
