Whenever they play at home, they perform poorly, even when they cannot bat all day. At home, the bowlers are not as strong as they could be. The Pakistani team made a bad selection, benching those who deserved to play. Throughout the game, England's batters humiliate Pakistani bowlers. As the chase progressed, England launched an attacking shot of the final ball of the day. It will be England's turn to start the fourth day, as only 55 runs are needed.
Pakistan is playing in their home ground, but England is taking the benefits of pitch condition. Generally home team tries to make the pitch on their favour. But we are seeing the opposite result in this series. England players has tried to play each test match like ODI. Their run rate is pretty good. Where Pakistan tried to play very slowly and lost both matches by getting close to the victory. Now England is showing them that how Pakistan should have chased the target.
This again shows that Pakistan is weak in their batting side not only in ODI and T20 format but also in Test format.  And here the dependence on Babar Azam is also noticeable. But it is true that  Shakil was also good in todays series. But currently England need only 55 run to win and I think it will be pretty  for them cause they have more 8 wicket in hands.
3rd Test match between England and Pakistan is going on where Pakistan's position is not good. Besides, Pakistan has lost the last 2 Tests as well. Pakistan's run in the 2nd innings of the third Test is not reliable. Due to so few runs they have to lose this match. England need 55 runs to win the match. England win this Test series form the last test match. Looking at the results of this series it doesn't take long to guess that their Test cricket is not improved at all.

Pakistan's batting line-up is weak as we have seen it in the last few years. The Pakistan board has failed to find talented batsmen for their squad. Pakistan's bowling line-up is very strong. But they are still dependent on the performances of Babar Azam and Rizwan. If these two players do not play well, Pakistan team cannot collect big. Unless Pakistan's batting line-up improves, and the batsmen do not consistently perform well, Pakistan will not be able to improve in the Test format.
Such a disappointing performance by Pakistan, they couldn't perform on their home ground and is going to loose their third test series against England. 
Pakistan batting lineup is getting worse with each passing day and each passing match they have to do something about this otherwise Pakistan will loose all thw important tournaments. Pakistan balling is good but it cannot save them with this kind of batting.

Pakistan are almost out of the WTC race thanks to this loss and they are performing like crap in the test format, but this doesn't imply that their performance is bad in the ODI and T-20 formats too.

They reached the final in the recent T-20 World Cup and they defeated teams like Australia, West Indies etc in recent ODI tournaments which proves my point.

Pakistan is losing every test match because of their stupidity. I would say Pakistan's pitch curators are idiots. He has produced flat pitches in the first two matches against teams like England. England's batting line-up is much stronger than Pakistan's. And England's batsmen have taken advantage of the flat pitch very well. They did not face any problems in winning the first two matches. The pitch in the third match was good enough. Maybe Pakistan will be defeated in this match too. But if they managed to collect 300 runs in the second innings, they had a chance to win.

Pakistan's batting in this match was much better than the previous two matches. Even then they are 50 runs behind England. Pakistan team was defeated in the first two matches. They will definitely want to win this match. But it is difficult to beat an experienced team like England. If Pakistan can't muster more than 450 in their second innings then I don't think they have a chance to win.
Now after losing two matches they are doing good job in this test match and after end of second day play they are trailing by 29 runs with 10 wickets in hand but right now Pakistan have lost 3 wickets before reaching 100 runs
It's true that Pakistani batting lineup is totally unpredictable anything can happen, now before the lunch A.Shafiq ,S.Masood and the player who play his last match of his career name Azhar Ali also dismissed at golden duck, but Pakistan are fully confident to score a big target like 400 & the reason of confident is the Captain Baber Azam on crease, whole Pakistan hope that Baber will score a handsome runs because he is the only batter in lineup who change the whole game.

I would say that Pakistan will lose the third match as well as the first two Test matches. They are not strong enough. It is not possible to win against a Test experienced team like England with an erratic batting line-up. There is no player in the Pakistan team now who can bat responsibly. Pakistan has lost 6 wickets and now leads England by 127 runs. A target of at least 300 runs must be given to winning. But I think Pakistani players will be able to give a target of 200-220.
A 3-0 loss in the home test series is loading.

Pakistan team lose is just like about to confirm because no one batter hold on a pitch for a long time to bulid partnership rather than the the Captain King Baber Azam and Said Shakeel, because both of them score more than half half century and bulid a big partnership of 100 runs, but unfortunately they didn't hold for a long time and as a result after his dismissal no one score and whole Pakistan only score 216 runs. While now on the other side england score 112 with just two dismissal now they need 55 runs to win the third match of this test series.

It is impossible to win a test match if you bat like that. Shakeel and Babar Azam scored 53 and 54 runs respectively. All other batsmen's performance was very poor. I don't think the pitch was bowling friendly. Pakistan should have easily scored 300 runs on such a pitch. Pakistan scored 304 runs in the first innings. Had Pakistan been able to muster more than 300 in the second innings, the match would have been competitive. But now the match is completely one-sided. England need just 55 more runs to win. Like the previous matches, England will win this match very easily.

I feel that Australia are pretty much in the finals at this point while the remaining teams are fighting for the 2nd position. It's tough to tell which team will grab that spot, but I am expecting India to occupy it.

Teams like NZ, ENG, PAK etc disappointed many of their fans and seriously need to make some big changes in order to improve in this format.


I feel 4 wins should be a very difficult task for India, 4 wins means you have to beat Bangladesh which might not be that difficult but then beat Australia 3-0 which is highly unlikely but yes this thing would ease out if South Africa loses couple of more matches from Australia then India may qualify with a rather lesser number of wins. Australia for sure is qualified for the finals. But yes the slow over rate will clearly slash 5 points from your overall tally so India is pretty bad on that. But If things come to India and England then English have the same problem too. This WTC has definitely given Test cricket a different feel as well now.
Yeah, Australia are in and fight is for 2nd spot. Proteas playing 2 home tests against the Windies so they also have a good chance.

At home, India has lost only 2 tests in the last decade so they are dominating force but this time Australia can challenge the hegemony (they always compete fiercely) and might cross the line as our Top order is in shambles.

Middle-lower order and bowlers are bailing out every single time. I Hope Pujara continue his form and occasionally Rohit's masterclass on rank turner.

This is because Pakistani batting is never been predictable as they can lose wickets very quickly on any pitch as we watch in first test match they lost this match on flat wicket which is surely dilemma for them but now in Karachi we have another entertaining match between these two teams and after this we are going to have another SENA team in Pakistan New Zealand which is going to play their first match on December 26.

It was beyond my expectations that a Test match would end in just two days. South Africa showed very bad batting. After scoring only 152 runs in the first innings I thought they would score at least 200 runs in the second innings. But they lost all the wickets for just 99 runs. They gave Australia a target of only 34 runs. The pitch is not batting friendly. It looks like Australia will lose a few wickets to collect 34 runs.
It's nothing new because we have too many test matches those ended with this same approach even Elgar is protesting about this all, but now we can't change this result with South Africa is already having poor test results and their quality is also on decline with this result now most chances Australia will be whitewash them and have good end of this season at home with five of five wins and their place could be settled in WTC final 2023 which is going to play against India which is also going to reach in this final for the second time as in first test match they lost against New Zealand at Southampton and now final is going to play at the Oval.

Australia is surely currently one of the best team in test format with complete combination of bowling and batting greats like Starc, Boland and Cummins and Smith, Labuschagne and Khawaja doing good job.

Bangladesh VS India, 1st Test India win by 188 runs. Since the defeat in the first two matches of ODI series, there have been widespread changes in Indian batting. They won the last match as well as the first Test match. There is another match left in the Test series and India probably win again. India's current batsmen are performing excellent performances. In the 1st Test match, the Indian Lower Batting Order Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav scored a 98 run partnership. As a result, India was able to throw a big target ‍and win the match.
Indian team's performance was highly anticipated. It was a team effort that led to this win. Kuldeep and Pujara were superb. Team India performed brilliantly. They are now closer to qualifying for the test championship finals. Having lost the ODI series, there was a lot of immense pressure placed upon them. Although late, the Indian cricket team has demonstrated some competence. With Team India's winning rhythm, Bangladesh could easily whitewash the two-match test series.
India's performance in the past few matches shows more than expectation. Losing the ODI series against Bangladesh was keeping them to be under pressure. December 22 next test match will be held where India will easily make the match on behalf of them. The batting weakness of the Bangladesh team is one of the major reasons for their defeat. India failed because of Miraj's expertise in the ODI match but that crisis is no more. I can firmly say at the moment that if India get any series again in the future then Bangladesh team may not only lost the series also have the possibility of whitewash.
The pressure have got subsided with the first test match win against Bangladesh by 188 runs. The loss of the ODI series is completely unexpected, because everything was a closer one. In the first match the match was won by the end player after losing 9 wickets making 50 partnership. In the second match India lost by 5 runs which looked like a winning and wasn't able to achieve it. As said India will give the best to whitewash the test series.

After losing first two test matches in this historic test series now things looking not good for Pakistan as they lost all ten wickets on first day play with just 304 runs on board Babar, Salman and Azhar done good job on this dry wicket and post good runs with first time Pakistani batting play aggressively in this series Leach and debutant Rehan were the pick of the bowlers at the end of first day play England trailing by 297 runs with nine wickets in hands Abrar pick wicket in his first over as Crawley gone on duck.

Pakistan playing in this series without any planning and losing matches very comfortably which is surely giving all updates how things going in this team and management with now we have rumours Ramiz Raja is also going as he is not allowing Pakistani team to visit India for World Cup and present government is not happy with his this stand.

It's not the first time Pakistan has been doing badly in the home series,
It's true that Pakistan batting side is weak than other teams like Australia, England, India etc but Pakistani bowler has no comparison in overall world.
Now in this third test match Pakistan perform well the king Baber Azam score a handsome score to help Pakistan to win this match. Pakistan give 304 runs in 79 overs which is not a bad score now again the young talented bowler Abrar dismiss few england batter. Now england has score 152 runs while 5 player are dismissed. Hope Pakistan will win this test match...
Now England is leading with 16 runs they are on 320 runs 8 wickets , England chases runs quiet easily and they'll start their second innings.  This test is a very important for Pakistan as they have already lost previous 2 matches .Pakistan should win this test match to avoid embarrassing end to this test series.
Pakistan bowler dismissed all  England team player batter and bowler at 354 runs in just 81 overs, from england side h.Brook score his 3rd century of this test series, such a phenomenal talent while from Pakistan side the mystery bowler Abrar Ahmad dismissed again 4 player while Nauman Ali also dismissed 4 wickets which is best bowling from Pakistan side, now England take a lead of 50 runs over Pakistan. Now it's totally depend on Pakistani Batter if they score well UpTo 400 then Pakistan will win , otherwise they have no chance..
Brooke played so well - but for Pakistan to score 400 run is not an easy target
Uk Fans and pakistani fans are so excited and they are really enjoying the series

South Africa took a hit in this series and lost more than 11 points. Next 3 teams must be licking their fingers and it won't be wrong because they can now fancy their chances, all thanks to this series. Especially India and Pakistan as they have 2 series left.



WTC table update....

-India carefully gained some points, although they still need to win 4 more matches to qualify and they should be extremely careful about penalty points (overrate).
-The Proteas are in a downtrend but they are still favorite candidates for the finals.
-SriLankans are the underdogs and they are touring Newzealand for their last away series. They desperately need to win 2-0 if they want to keep their chances alive.
-Pakistan well they F%cked up big time.
