Things are quite not easy for Pakistan at the moment. The target is not that big considering the number of days left in this test match but they have lost already 3 wickets and as of now they seem to be struggling against the English pace attack. Pakistan needs a big partnership if they want to win and the best part here is that Ben stokes knows that and whenever he sees a partnership building he introduces a pace bowlers into the attack. Cunning captaincy by Ben I must say that.
Pakistan is in the front seat of the match now. They have made a good partnership on the 4th wicket and dominating in the game. They need 157 runs only with 6 wickets in hand. However, the betting odds is still in favour of England. I found it reasonable, because Pakistan batting lineup may collapse at any time. We have seen it in the first innings.

This Match is looking like jot to draw but the bots can't be trusted. ENG vs PAK more likely it a tight call for now on the moment when bot show's the rating of 47 53 well you know it fluctuates every over. Multan pitch seems good and that was a decent innings. There was a troll on the IND vs NZ trophy size but it seems PCB did some good job on the size especially haha.

The 24 year old Abrar impressed with seven wickets for 114 runs in 22 overs. He joined Pakistan cricket as another bright star. If this amazing performance could not win Pakistan cricket in the test, but he introduced himself. Had another teammate, leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood, not taken the last three wickets, he might have got the full 10 wickets.
Abrar Ahmed took 11 wickets in his Test debut and that is a great start and he is young and if he could continue this kind of performance then it will be great for Pakistan. Pakistan messed up the first innings as i expected them to score a good lead but they are just unpredictable and even now they are in a good position to win the match as they only need 157 runs and since it is Pakistan you never know how they will bat tomorrow.

Enjoying these series is just a waste of time. It was a completely one-sided series. West Indies should have organized the Test series against Bangladesh. They should not play Tests against big teams like Australia or England. I would have been happy if West Indies had organized a 5-match T20 series against Australia. Because West Indies are still strong enough in T20 series and they can win against Australia too. ICC should not organize such one-sided series. As a result, the general audience will lose interest in cricket.
Agreed about this all with you because I also feel series like this is waste of time, money and energy specially if you are not going to have any positive impact in long run as well West Indies is completely crap side in test format, and they can't do things for positive change because they are now having the worst things around them with no hope of better future just ODI and t20 can give them better results and better way of stay into this game of cricket.All team bowled out on 77 with match ended with the heaviest defeat and no batsman able to cross highest run by Chanderpaul in second inning what a batting by the former kings of cricket here in Adelaide most of the time stadium was empty as peoples are also feeling nothing entertaining going to happen which is also really poor hopefully ICC and WICB will do things for the improvement of their quality in near future.
Australia already won the match. Australia won by a huge margin of 419 runs. This was just a weird dominance from Australia. West Indies was all out only for 77 runs. Australia whitewashes West Indies in this test series by 2-0. These are the reasons why test cricket is dying. There is barely any competition when there is a match-up like this. And we all know that test cricket needs your skills. So it is very hard for weaker opponents to overcome difficulties against that better and bigger opponents. And I think we all knew that the outcome of this test series is going to be something like this.

Mitchell Swepson said "Spin, bounce, pace-nothing on the wicket' when he came to play in Pakistan nine months ago. Multan's wicket on Friday surely redeemed his mistake. On the first day of the second Test tomorrow, England were bowled out for 281 in the first innings. Young Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed took England's first seven wickets on debut.

Pakistan second test against the England was very entertaining one. Because Pakistan had improved their game in recent days. They had give best knock against the best team of world, the England. No one believe this the old Pakistan team, Pakistan had nearly 6 wickets and 2 days remaining. If they miss this chance, it will be the worst blunder by the Pakistan team, it will look like they again repeat the history. Saud should make his unique batting and score his needed 50 against the England and it’s classic. His fifty run was welcome one by the team and recommend by the coach of the game to make it.

Imam Ul Haque and Saud Shakeel's responsible batting is slowly leading Pakistan toward victory. These two batsmen have already managed to make a partnership of 102 runs. And Pakistan's collection is 185 runs. Pakistan needs only 170 runs to win. Scoring 170 runs in test format are not difficult. But there is no way to say for sure that Pakistan will win. Because I think if England can take the wickets of Shakeel and Imam Ul Haque, then the rest of Pakistan's batsmen will quickly return to the dressing room. Apart from these two batsmen, I don't see any other responsible batsmen in the Pakistan squad who can contribute to the team's victory.
Imam game is over as he was bowled out by Leah on 60 runs, now only Saud is on the crease. Pakistan have two complete days to chase England target but the issue is they have only 6 wickets in hands. 157 is not a big score to chase but we have already seen how Pakistan tail collapsed yesterday morning. Muhammad Nawaz can bat also but he need to be careful as its very important to stay on the crease and score runs. IMO game is more towards England side as they have got wickets of key Pakistani batsmen. Lets see how Pakistan play tomorrow.

Things never been easy for Pakistan while they are chasing their target in fourth inning on any pitch because they never play with aggressive approach which is never been ideal situation for any team and most of the time batsmen play for their own status which is mostly never help any team but in today we have amazing stuff from veteran Anderson and youngster Robinson both give shocking out swingers and both top rank batsmen completely clueless with lost their wickets cheaply.Now Pakistan still needs 157 runs which is big task, and they have six wickets in hand only average batsmen available as they have no good experience and skills for staying on crease and win this match for their team but still we can expect good end of this match as bat and bowl will be fight for series decider because if England won they could be winner of the series as well.

This 100 runs partnership between Saud Shakeel and Imam-ul-Haq brought back Pakistan into the game, they were in bad shape and the situation was looking bad when they were 3 down.
They only need 165 runs and 7 wickets in the bank so maybe there is some hope for Pakistan, unless we witness another trademark batting collapse from Pak.

You said it and they did it. It is hard to expect anything from Pakistan. They were looking good and I was hoping that this partnership would help them win the match but an impressive catch by Joe Root destroyed all hopes. They only need 157 runs to win but knowing Pakistan they might do something unexpected. This is the reason why they are known as an unpredictable team. This is an easy win but they will ensure that it becomes complicated for them.

Australia - West Indies
Australia vs West Indies series is a completely one-sided series. We are only seeing the dominance of Australia. West Indies are performing very badly both in batting and bowling. Although I did not think that West Indies would win before the series, my guess was that West Indies would be able to fight back. But like the first match, the performance of the West Indies players in the second match was very poor.
West Indies are batting at the target of 497 runs given by Australia. And so far they have managed to collect only 42 runs. and lost four wickets. Today is just the fourth day of play. So West Indies is definitely going to be defeated.
In the end, West Indies managed just 77 runs while losing all their wickets. Australia won by 419 runs and took the series 2-0. In terms of runs, this was Australia's biggest victory over the West Indies. It's an embarrassment. There hasn't been a series won by WI in recent years. There is an increasing sense of direness as West Indies cricket begins to plunge deeper into an abyss. It is hard to expect anything more from a team that is mentally prepared to lose even before the game begins. Australia vs West Indies series is a completely one-sided series.

Getting into the technicals, wicket of Imam-ul-Haq can be a turning point of this match and the match may end up in England's favor. Pakistan would have been more confident going back today with 198 for 3 but now losing this wicket of a set batsmen Imam-ul-Haq may shake their confidence.They only need 165 runs and 7 wickets in the bank so maybe there is some hope for Pakistan, unless we witness another trademark batting collapse from Pak.

England will be bowling to a new batsman Faheem Ashraf and the 2nd new ball will also be due in a few overs, making it a difficult task for Pakistan's remaining batsmen. Although they have fought hard to get in the match but will they be able to complete the job, this is a big question that needs to be seen tomorrow.
I agree with you. Imam Ul Haque's wicket is going to be the turning point of this match. And the outcome of this match will depend on the performance of tomorrow's first session. If the Pakistani batsmen are able to stay at the crease in the first session tomorrow, they will win this match. Pakistan needs only 157 runs to win. Saud Shakeel is still unbeaten with 54 runs.
But the first session tomorrow looks set to be dominated by England's bowlers. We saw in the first match that the Pakistani batsmen could not stay at the crease for long after breaking the pair of Rizwan and Shakeel. Looks like Pakistan will start losing wickets in the first session tomorrow. And will be defeated by 80/90 runs.
December 11, 2022, 08:40:38 AM
So at the end of day 3 Pakistan needs 157 runs and they still have 6 wickets in hand. Pakistan started off really slow but 100 runs partnership between Saud shakeel and imam ul haq brought them back in game . Now tomorrow we'll see how things will turn and who'll win this test series.

Cunning captaincy by Ben I must say that.
Pakistan at the moment need 183 runs and 7 wikcets are left behind. It looks not a difficult task but seeing the batting performance of Pakistan since the start of this series that 183 looks difficult to chase. Right now there is 90 runs partnership between Imam and Saud going on. Pakistan need both of them for next 20 overs. We saw how Pakistan batting collapsed in first session of yesterday play, that's why I am saying they both should bat for next 20 overs and take the score over 300 runs. Ben no doubt is turning out to be a great captain for England. Imam Ul Haque and Saud Shakeel's responsible batting is slowly leading Pakistan toward victory. These two batsmen have already managed to make a partnership of 102 runs. And Pakistan's collection is 185 runs. Pakistan needs only 170 runs to win.

Pakistan came out to bat again today we can see pakistan batting great but they are not getting good colors but soon i think babar azam will score 100 runs but he needs some time but babar azam can score 100 runs in the match. Then Pakistan will win all very soon
Pakistan is winning this 2nd test match against but not, because Pakistani show the best of them and send all the england player to pavilion at 275 runs, but now when Pakistani batter come to bat the legendary captain baber Azam has been dismissed as well as Rizwan also dismissed by English bowler Anderson, now Pakistan need 273 to win this 2nd test against england to level the series, but now they way Pakistani batter are going to dismissed take the match away from Pakistan, because the pressure is building on them, but if they hold Thier nerves and hold on a pitch then hope they will win..

Imam Ul Haq and Shakeel are now standing for Pakistan and Pakistan have made 174 runs with three wickets down. At one time we thought it will be impossible for Pakistan to chase this score and now all of a sudden the match is on balance. Any team can win from here. Another 50 runs partnership and you will find Pakistan in a comfortable situation. One or two more wickets down for Pakistan and they will again be in trouble.
One thing i must say is that you can never undermine Pakistan, they always do something unpredictable. Hard for those who are betting on the match.
