Indian team all out at 78. The world's best batting line-up falls once again. Another below hundred score. India's batting performance was below average and pathetic. It was a brilliant and dominating performance by the England bowlers. A great bowling attack by the English bowlers, in particular Anderson, who picked up 3 wickets at the top of the order.
India on backfoot early in the first hour of the third test match. Thanks to the veteran James Anderson taking all the 3 wickets which also included the wicket of Virat Kohli. What a bowler he is even at the age of 39 he is the best bowler in the english conditions and the onus is now on rohit and rahane to recover india from this situation.
Cheteshwar Pujara once again got out for single digit score. I don't know why he's not dropped from the playing XI. There is no shortage of talent in India, and it is not fair towards the young players that someone like Pujara is being given so many chances. The same goes for Ajinkya Rahane as well. I am perplexed at the continued presence of these two in the playing XI. And BTW, Jimmy seems to be on fire. Trust me, if he goes on like this, then Muttiah Muralitharan's record for the most test wicket will be under threat.

After a while, the third Test match between India and England started. In the previous match, the Indian players performed remarkably. And England was able to defeat the team. So hopefully the match starting today will be similarly competitive. However, since England has been drawn in one, they will want to win the third Test.
India won the toss and elected to bat. But, with just 1 run scored, they lost the wicket of their experienced and important batsman Kl Rahul. He had a great performance in the previous match. So we were expecting a good performance from him in this match too. But he disappointed us and went back to the dressing room without collecting any runs.
Kl Rahul's wicket was very important for the Indian team. He has done well in the first two Tests. He has scored more than 100 runs in both matches. So all Indian fans expect a good collection from him. He didn't play well today. Kohli must play well today as his replacement. However, Kohli is not in form.

What do you think about the match between Monaco vs Shakhtar Donetsk? My assumption is that Shakhtar will win this match as usual. Because I have seen the last few matches of Monaco. They are not playing well. The players have lost their form badly. I don't see the possibility of Shakhtar Donetsk losing if they don't perform very well today.
The Test series between Pakistan and the West Indies ended in a 1-1 draw. Pakistan's performance in the second match is very commendable. Especially their bowlers played very well. Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken 10 wickets in 2 innings. Moreover, Pakistan's top-order batsmen did not play well in the first innings, but the performance of all batsmen in the second innings was stable.
There is no continuity of performance between these two teams in the Test format. Performs very poorly. Pakistan scored 2 runs in the first innings and lost 3 wickets. Pakistan made a good collection in collaboration with Babar Azama and Fawad Alam. However, Pakistan won because of Shaheen Shah's extraordinary bowling.

I never thought an inconsistent team will be able to repeat the same performance in bowling. An intresting game overall, at one stage I thought the match is over when rain started pouring. WI needed that rain but unfortunately it did not last long. Shaheen afridi took 4 wickets in the second session and 6 in the first. Overall a good performance by the Pakistani side.
That's what inconsistent teams do. They lost the first match by a big margin, and then won the second one quite comfortably. It is a mystery how they manage to lose crucial matches, despite having some of the most promising players such as Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi. And now the T20 World Cup is coming up. Historically, Pakistan has performed poorly in ICC tournaments. But this time they have an advantage, since the tournament is being hosted by the UAE. Winning the trophy will lift everyone's morale.
Another great match between West Indies and Pakistan and it went till the last few overs and this time Pakistan was able to finish the match by picking all their wickets and even though one day was lost due to rain, it was a perfect ending for the match as Pakistan lost the last match as they were not pick the wickets of the tail end batsman and this time i thought the tail would hang in there and will draw the match.
The Test series is over and they should have played one more match.

They did the right thing by limiting the number of matches to two. I would say that even one was enough, given the declining popularity of test cricket. Overall, it was an amazing fightback from Pakistan. Shaheen Shah Afridi was exceptional, and he has all the qualities to become another legend, like Wasim Akram or Shoaib Akhtar. Shaheen is already having 76 test wickets to his name, and he is only 21 years old. But a lot will depend on how PCB grooms players like him. There is no dearth of talent in Pakistan.

The match between Pakistan and West Indies is being delayed due to rain. If the match is abandoned, West Indies will be saved from a certain defeat. Rain is very beneficial for them now. West Indies lost 7 wickets for just 159 runs. My guess is that they will be able to stay in the crease for a maximum of 15 overs.
LOL.. Shaheen Shah Afridi destroyed the West Indies first innings along with Mohammad Abbas. Now suddenly Pakistan has a chance of winning this match. And they did well to score runs quickly. If full 90 overs of play is possible on the 5th day, then the chances are that Pakistan will win this test match and level the series. But any rain interruption would sink that possibility. Also the fact that Pakistan doesn't have a quality spinner in their playing XI for this test may work out against them.
I am not sure why are you so much confident that Pakistan will win this match? Pakistan is known for its inconsistency and if they performed well in the first innings does not mean they will perform well in the second one. They need to take wickets and WI needs to stay on the pitch. The last day of a test match is always entertaining.
No one is sure about the win but i think that currently odds are in favor of the Pakistan. If Pakistan can repeat the same bowling performance which they showed yesterday, there are good chances that they will take the match away from WI.
However, since its the last day, even a single big partnership by the WI can save the match and who knows they may go on for a win in they have wickets in hands in the last session of the 5th day.
Morning session just ended and we have lunch now. Pakistan took 4 wickets in this session and it surely belongs to them. The captain Kraigg Brathwaite is the key player for West Indies. He can only survive this match for WI and there is not much batting left in the team.
I think the next session will further clarifies either Pakistan will win the match or it will end in a draw.

LOL.. look at the opposition as well. Do you really think that the West Indies team is any better (especially in the test format)? Today is the fifth day of the match, and West Indies has already lost one wicket (Kieran Powell). At this point, Pakistan definitely has a higher chance of winning the match, especially given the stellar performance from Mohammad Abbas and Shaheen Shah Afridi earlier. It is a joke that West Indies is still allowed to play test matches. After the (forced) retirement of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, they are without the services of a quality test batsman.

I don't think the West Indies players will be able to stay on the field for a whole day. They are not experienced enough. And there is no continuity of performance. They have batted well in the previous match, the first innings of this match was a very bad batting disaster. However, the match is under the control of Pakistan. Pakistan will win only if the bowlers are able to perform their duties properly.
