poor, just hung his bat out, pitch looks pefectly playable
|
|
By:
wow Pakistan do you ever learn I bet on you this time thought you had some pride and it's a big bet as well
|
|
By:
1.53 is a lay for me,
|
|
By:
don't understand why they would choose to bat first the best chance they had was chasing
|
|
By:
time to rebuild I guess the English batsmen will have as much problems with Pakistan spin as Pakistan will have with England's pace
|
|
By:
why would you say that?
Pakistan are generally not a good chasing side but have done well putting pressure on teams with their long spells of spin. This didn't work out last game for them but that's their general strategy and I don't see them changing it any time soon. England would have also batted first I've no doubt. |
|
By:
better for hafeez to go out swinging try and get the runrate up then his rubbish
|
|
By:
Pretty rubbish start for Pakistan and the money keeps coming.
|
|
By:
asking a hell of a lot of Briggs and Samit on a good pitch, no way they'd go in without another bowling option if this was a live game, good pitch this.
|
|
By:
Laying England at 1.75 Hope Pakistan will defend any Score today. Good Luck to all.
|
|
By:
fancy these 2 to put a few runs on. probably not at much of a rate for a while though.
agree salman that Pakistan are worth a back (took 2.7 myself) but don't think i'll add anything else now as while Finn is bowling i'm always a bit concerned to be on the batting side. Hoping to see Pakistan hit 1.8 or so during their innings. |

Bopara looks like he's hungover to me
 |

By:
lol @ Allott
|
|
By:
levelled off for now.
|
|
By:
Around 30 ticks 4 this start
 |
|
By:
May be Low score today Like 230 to 239 But I can see Pakistan will defend it. And if they will put decent score 250+ then surely Will win for Pakistan.IMO
|
|
By:
Why are England odds against here? 36/1 off 9 overs is a below par start and England are 3-0 up in the series. Admittedly they're missing a few players today but even so should be favourites here
|
|
By:
Agreed.
|
|
By:
because they haven't got early wickets, Pak bat fairly deep, and Briggs and Samit have got to bowl their full allocations and the pitch is likely to be slower than last time. market should reacted more to England changes IMO
|
|
By:
Samit bowling 10 isn't an issue though surely? He's had a decent series with the ball
|
|
By:
yeah he's been good with the ball, but today he's usually come in when the batsman were under pressure and with the knowledge there was a back up bowling option, Briggs and patel thrown in at the deep end, fair enough good idea to test them in a dead rubber, but you just wouldn't do it in a live game and if pak put them under pressure it may go Pete Tong
|
|
By:
Good solid start for pakistan. Decent enough pace too. Far better they have steady start and set themselves up for a total than having few more runs on board but 5 down after 25 overs.
These two batsman ideal for this situation and whats required |
|
By:
And pitch is very slow second bat will be tough chaser so if they will set 240 then very hard to chase against Paki's bowling.
And Odds are clearly define us, No need for any explanation. Inning Runs are 262 and odds are 1.67 so its clear if they will make 260 then Odds will be 1.50 for England chasing. |
|
By:
Now Laid Pakistan at 1.58 And Boook is both side sweetly Green.
 |
|
By:
looking like 300+
 |
|
By:
layers have had a free ride for the last 30 mins...
|
|
By:
England putting on bit of a squeeze here, really need to keep taking wickets to keep this score below 275 though
|
|
By:
its not going over 275
|
|
By:
if they can get to around 190/3 from 40, I think they'd be very happy
|
|
By:
boom
|
|
By:
big wicket
break up misbah and ali and england right back in this |
|
By:
big wicket that England doing very well.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
|
By:
Pakistan making a right mess of this
26 off the last 10 overs. |
|
By:

|
|
