Pakistan v England, limited overs matches. UAE, 2015.

[dan08]

Should be targeting 320-350.

[hopeforthebest]

I wonder why Babar the bowler isn't playing, two off spiners against right hand batsmen is a bit odd. The talk that it would turn more is not very evident.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good strike rate to the thirtieth over from Halestorm, 95.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pretty pouchable drop from Wahab off Root.

Maybe Buttler and Mo should bat above JT? I think I'd stick with James though.

[yuppie]

Perfect platform for the lower order.

Root only one boundary in 40 runs

[Gingerfinch]

Can we double our 35 over score? Doubt it, but should be looking at 330 from here. I would get Buttler in maybe after Morgan.

[dan08]

What are we waiting for? Got so many hitters to come.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Played Alex. Ton up.

Time for a bit of hitting though.

[yuppie]

England need to press on.

Congrats to Hales for his first 100, but England needed to push on a little earlier

[backfootpunch]

now the ball has got old the ball is not coming on to the bat and is keeping a little low

anything over 280 should be a tough chase

[dan08]

Going at 4 an over in the last 5 overs. We've got 9 wickets remaining...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Two hundred partnerships from the plucky underdogs.

300 will be enough?

[Gingerfinch]

Well done to Hales. I agree with Dan, get a move on, or get out.

[dan08]

Two hundred partnerships from the plucky underdogs.

300 will be enough?

Not with our bowling attack.

[meninblue]

Finally Alex puts on a significant score

However England should be looking at a score over 300 considering opener has scored a 100 and the opening partnership. This could well be a 300 run pitch, you never know.
