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

Willey and Topley should be good on this pitch.

[Arthur Crabtree]

They have been trying to hit most balls to the boundary but timing has looked impossible against cutters pitched on a good length

They just binary batted through the middle overs. They could have pressured the spinners more then. Probably not much more they could do in the last ten.

From what could/should have been 320, then 300, we've only got 283.

England still slight favourites i reckon.

We tried that in the last game and collapsed in a heap, the struggles of every other batsmen to get it off the square shows they were probably right

Also Yasir and malik both went at over 7 runs an over, so they did very well against the spinners it was the medium pacers who choked us

283 should be a winning score on this pitch

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good score...

Excellent death bowling from the hosts.

My word what a lot of moaning on here, from what I've seen this pitch after 20 overs is tough to score on. Good bowling should see England win.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I think that's what everyone is saying Hope!

I've seen worse moaning on the internet.

And no one has been likened to Hitler yet.

But, only half time.

agreed

dan seems to think this match is being played in england/australia/south africa with the ball coming on to the bat

if we bowl and field well like pakistan did this should be plenty of runs

topley should be very useful on this pitch and so should moeen hopefully since he basically bowls 58mph cutters

[Durhamfootman]

better looking total. seems as though the top order gave themselves a chance today. just need the bowlers to play well. Getting Hafeez early might be a decent idea

[Arthur Crabtree]

Early wicket. Take that Dan ;)

[Arthur Crabtree]

Too many left armers in the England attack. Need some right armers for variety.

[backfootpunch]

Hafeez goes

Massive wicket, Pakistan in big trouble

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rubbish shot from Hafeez.

[meninblue]

Looks like England will win this as Pakistan have lost two early wickets.
