Pakistan v England 3rd Test, Sharjah, Nov 1-5

[Aidan11]

Chasing 250 probably and we'll be spun out for 86.

[backfootpunch]

the pitch is definitely turning a lot less than it was on day 1 or at the very least the ball is turning slower

i would be interested to know what rashids economy rate for the series is against all the pakistan batsmen other than misbah who has played him brilliantly

[Gingerfinch]

I was quite happy with the 70 odd lead. With only two good bowlers to rely on, we could end up chasing a few.

[Aidan11]

Azhar Ali has faced 110 balls so far without hitting a boundary.

the pitch does seem to be getting slower and slower by the day though

the problem will be the pressure once cook, bell and root are out on an inexperienced batting line up

[Aidan11]

They're belting sixes of Anderson now.

[backfootpunch]

well that was a gift

we almost messed that up as well, need to get another before the close

[sussexpob]

A run out?

[Aidan11]

Finally a wicket. In comical circumstances.

[Dr Cricket]

that looks so dodgy.

[Alviro Patterson]

They're belting sixes of Anderson now.

[backfootpunch]

[sussexpob]

England coming back

[Aidan11]

One brings two.
