Yasir Shah is the new Messiah for Pakistan and strong contender of Man of the Match.
Yasir Shah is not consistent with his line and length but he is picking wickets.This new Buttler-Woakes partnership is hurting them.
Have to tell that being a Pakistani fan is a hell and so much difficult, simple game turning into thriller. -------------
Edit 77 runs partnership on 89 deliveries...........
Happened to see the scoreboard now and realized that England managed to win this test match. What a pull back from the way they had started this test match and ends up winning the match. Pakistan will be disappointed as it was their game as they played well in the end slightly England provided better and won this very exciting test match.
England really played well and the way they came back in the match is impressive and shows that they are the world champions. Pakistan have to improve their batting a lot if they want to come back in the remaining two test matches.

Pakistan is looking desperate to get a wicket but no luck till now. They have lost 2 reviews in quick time and now they have no more reviews left. Only 34 runs left for England to win. This match will finish in just 4 days of play.
The match is over, England just need 21 more runs to win the match, Pakistan made a good effort but they lost the match when they failed miserably in the second innings and then they started well picking quick wickets but one good partnership is more than enough to secure a win and lets see whether Pakistan can learn from the mistakes and come back stronger in the second match.Pakistan is looking desperate to get a wicket but no luck till now.

Pakistan really like to create a thrilling finish for the fans 
, Yasir Shah finally took the wicket of Jos Buttler but England just need 13 runs to win the match. If Pakistan could score another 50 runs more in the second innings it would have been interesting and England does have a long batting line up with Chris Woakes chipping in at the right moment and scoring a valuable match winning half century and i hope he gets the man of the match award for his all round performance.

The credit goes to Pakistan to make the test match more thriller than a T20 
Only Pakistan can change the match like this, glad that i did not fell for the bait on betting on this match as i was convinced that Pakistan would win the match after Pakistan took the lead. Buttler and Woakes are playing a match winning innings.
I think England will win from here easily but you never know when your opposition is Pakistan.
Pakistan gave hopes to the fans by picking wickets but they are struggling to contain Jose Butler when he started counter attack. If Pakistan can pick a couple of wickets we can see a thrilling finish.I think England will win from here easily but you never know when your opposition is Pakistan.

By the end of 1st innings, Pakistan is lead by 107 runs. If England manages to get Pakistanis out around 200, they'll have a target of 300-350 runs which is a chaseable score considering the English batting lineup. So, I believe that there is still a bit of chance for England to get back in to the game.
Only 77 runs needed for England to win the match and Butler-Woakes partnership looks strong. I knew that there is a chance for England to win
This is a thriller! I think, England will win this match too bad that I didn't bet on it yesterday Butler and Woakes completed their fifties

England are 167/5 and require another 110 runs. This is going to be interesting and this game is now depended on Butller or Woakes. IF one of batsman stays till last then England has good chance to win as Broad can also contribute 20-30 runs easily.
Both teams playing very good cricket even Yasir is not good as he need to be because he is not bowling on his line which is causing problems for him and English batsmen attacking on him but still 100 runs to go and last pair is on after tea we are going to have very exciting last session of this test match who win its still not clear 
England are looking favorite now. The captain Root and Sibley are playing very sensibly and England are slowing cursing towards the target without losing any more wickets. Although England did not played well in the first innings but they have dominated in the 2nd innings bowling and batting.
The match is really interesting as England lost their 4th wicket and England still need 170 runs to win the match and Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler are in the crease and one more wicket will put immense pressure on England, the only advantage England have is they have enough time to play a slow innings but the top order did that and failed, it is an interesting session for both the teams.Yasir Shah is the new Messiah for Pakistan and strong contender of Man of the Match.
Yasir Shah is not consistent with his line and length but he is picking wickets.Edit:
England lost their 5th wicket Ollie Pope is gone by a beautify delivery from Shaheen Shah Afridi, really unplayable delivery
.
Stokes gone and Game almost over for England..

England waiting for new hero to step up...

edit : @#uck Joe root, he doesn't deserve to be in the Fab 4 list anymore.

Still a 50-50 situation in the match. Pakistan lead by 244 and if england can restrict them within 250 then that will be easy for England, but Pakistan will be looking for anything above 275.
The big question is what will be the safe score for Pakistan ? There are only two wickets left for them and i don't see them making a big score from here onwards. At least i am not sure at this moment who will win this match. Perhaps it will depend on how England will bat last on this wicket.
England have made a superb comeback in this test match and this has made the test match more interesting as match can now swing in any direction. Pakistan is leading by 244 runs and they would try that remaining 2 wickets if can add another 30 runs will reach near 275. Though will this score be enough is a doubtful, but if Pakistan breaks through early in England innings might be enough.
As expected, they did made reach the target of 275 runs and now England needs 277 runs in their second inning to win this test match. Pakistan could not bat well just like in 1st innings they did it. Now everything will depend on their bowling if they must win this test match.
England should easily win this match. 277 is not a big target and one or two big partnerships can make the match more in favor of England.
If they can bat the first 50 overs with only 1-2 wickets down, that would be a dream start for them.

Now that's a Pakistan we are very familiar in the world cricket. This team knows how to shoot themselves in their foot when in dominating position.
The interesting part is that Pakistan was dominating around 10 sessions in a Test match and they lost around 2 sessions and are now under pressure as there is plenty of time left in the match but they lost the advantage they had throughout the match by loosing 2 sessions and not even a single good partnership in the second innings, unless there is some extraordinary performance by the Pakistani bowlers England could win the match from this situation.Now that's a Pakistan we are very familiar in the world cricket.
