RE: Pakistan v England Test Match Series - Doddle - 18-10-2024 13:26
I think I read that Pakistan's 2nd innings was highlighted by a lengthy 8th or 9th wicket stand, which is the kind of slip-up that makes life more difficult than it needs to be. To not reach halfway to what seems a plausible target is a pretty poor show.

^^ The key batsman in those stands was Salman, top scorer in the innings. In pivotal over bowled by Carse 2 chances went to ground the keeper Smith dropped him when he had scored only 4 runs, 2 runs later Root put a catch down. The lead at the time was around 2oo so the target could've been significantly lower.

I don't think 297 was a plausible target. It always looked like a long shot to me.
I don't think Pakistan's 9th wicket stand made much difference either, as England already needed 232 to win before than stand even began.

England add a 3rd spinner to their starting XI in Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson returns with the Durham Duo Carse & Potts missing out.
Rawalpindi usually favour seam, but Pakistan are trying to achieve a similar surface to the one used in the 2nd Multan Test.
Again artificial methods are being employed, this time by the use of gas heaters & windbreaks in order the trap in the heat.

Pakistan again stormed it in the 8th & 9th wicket stands.

It's not England 243, it's worse it's 24/3. We may not get to 243.
Ollie Pope is out for 1..
He could be for the chop

24-3That was maybe wishful thinking, Bazball on steroids.
England are sunk in this game & the series. It is not a matter of if Pakistan can win, just when they win. I expect the match to finish tomorrow

He has a good innings & then nothing, just disappears for a few matches, he isn't delivering as a No.3 batsman. He's the vice captain, that shouldn't save him.

Worse still is Crawley, Rob Keys adopted son. This is his 50th Test, opening is tough & he's forged a decent partnership with Duckett, which is not far off the best among Test nations, yet an average of 32 is poor, or let's say average no better.
