Its a shame that rain has ruined another test match and so far the English summer has been nothing but a disappointing one when it comes to cricket as most of the matches have been affected by rain. I really think England would of won this test as they had all the momentum and Pakistan were struggling once again under pressure. Well at least we got to see James Anderson became the first fast bowler to reach 600 Test wickets, congrats to him.
A new twist in game England takes 4th wicket through Root now Anderson going with new ball can they take remaining 6 wickets in 18 overs very interesting end of this rain hit match.
Edit: now we have 17 overs left and Babar and Fawad on crease Anderson and Broad on ball

The match ended as another boring draw, which is a great injustice to the sport. It is a loss to everyone. The fans waited patiently despite the numerous rain interruptions and ground inspections, the English players were left frustrated as this was the last test for the year 2020 and finally the TV broadcasters couldn't believe their bad luck. Can the ICC just ignore this issue? So many matches are getting wasted as a result of rain. Don't they want to take any actions?
Wrong. The Indian team is not over-reliant on Kohli these days and the same applies to Pakistan and Azam. Ben Stokes is an all-rounder in comparison.
I am not talking about Test Cricket specifically. In test cricket there are a few players like Pujara primarily talking about One days and T20. Team is over-reliant on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma~snip~.
This is something which Indians and Pakistani board Don't do their teams have too much reliance on Virat Kohli and Babar Aazam.

Just in : Game is about to start and we might see 45 overs today, it would be interesting to see if Pakistan survives the remaining time or choke.
Players are out warming up test cricket-minus 15 unless the umpires spot something dodgy emerging from the swamp at deep mid-wicket.Match has resumed and we have 42 overs scheduled for the day if there is no rain and match continue. England will have 18 overs in that with the new ball to bowl. But seems they will be able to pull this match and result would be draw. Only thing for now I am looking is for Anderson 600 wicket. Azhar Ali might make another ton in this innings as well.

Just latest news from Southampton we are not going to have any player until tea after this no one can predict about westher as right now light rain is still on and outfield is wet so this can take some good time most chances we will have 35 to 40 overs if weather allows otherwise its going to end without any ball playing.
If today's play is washed out, then the most frustrated individual on this planet is going to be James Anderson. He just needs 1 more wicket to become the first fast bowler to take 600 wickets. And if he can't take a wicket today, then the next opportunity for him will come on 2021. England won't be playing anymore test matches this year.
Finally the match is in progress and James Anderson has a fair chance to get his 1 wicket to complete his 600 wickets in the test matches. If the match does not stops again, we have 41 overs left to be bowled in this test match.

Whats is the current situation in Southampton ? Has the rain stopped ? Even if it stops it will take some time to clear the wet outfield. England needs at least 50 overs to bowl out Pakistan. Pakistani batsmen played well yesterday and did not lose many wickets.
I just checked it now the match has been suspended, which means it is cancelled due to rain. I feared this would happen in the end England still won the series. In my opinion the test matches should be avoided in such climate, a T20 or a one day match could have been a good idea.
Where do you see the match suspended ? There is no official announcement for the suspension of the match as yet. The players are warming up and the match should begin in 15 - 30 mins from now onwards.

Wrong. The Indian team is not over-reliant on Kohli these days and the same applies to Pakistan and Azam. Ben Stokes is an all-rounder in comparison.
I am not going to completely agree. May be in Indian conditions that is not the case, but in grounds that favor seam/swing bowling, the Indian batting lineup is very heavily dependent on Virat Kohli. Others are not consistent. Batsmen such as Rohit and Rahul have performed every now and then, but they fail to do that on a consistent basis.
BTW, it is very frustrating with the England vs Pakistan test. Today also there is hardly any chance of play.

This is something which Indians and Pakistani board Don't do their teams have too much reliance on Virat Kohli and Babar Aazam.Clock is ticking folks, Join the IPL pool
If there is no weather interruption like we saw today there is a possibility that Pakistan could reach those scores as you never know how the Pakistan players usually play, England is dropping catches as usual and there is a chance considering the insane odds these sportsbook are providing.
Pakistan winning? No freaking way. The reason why the odds are so high is because it is pretty much impossible for them to win at this point. England winning or a draw are the only realistic outcomes at this point no matter how many catches England drop.The way they dominated this test match, it would be shame if they have to share points with the Pakistan only because of rain. In case Pakistan fight out their way to the end then they deserve those half points.
8 wickets are all that England need to knock down to win and I am confident they will. Broad and Anderson are the key bowlers once again.This is something which Indians and Pakistani board Don't do their teams have too much reliance on Virat Kohli and Babar Aazam.

Only good thing coming out from this game for Pakistani team is that skipper Azhar Ali managed to save his face by his knock, he was facing lot of criticism due to his captaincy and his own batting form.
Not sure where this game heading, as Pakistani batting is too volatile. One day they comes out as a champions and next day same team look like a local club. Having said that i am expecting England to win the game if weather allow them to bawl at least 60 overs. The way they dominated this test match, it would be shame if they have to share points with the Pakistan only because of rain. In case Pakistan fight out their way to the end then they deserve those half points.
I think this volatility is because of inexperienced players in the side. These are talented players who have some spirit of playing but don't have the expertise of playing against every team and at every ground. Pakistan team have revamped their team quite too much in last few years that's the reason. It's an all new team so this was bound to happen. England on the other side are robust. Even without stokes they are playing this so well and I think this was the strategy of the board of England to avoid making the team over reliant on Ben stokes alone.

Ali saved Pakistan thanks to his classy innings. Pressure is on Pakistan because the English bowlers will be coming in hard on the final day. Also, the odds offered for an English win are pretty good right now.
Have you seen the odds for a Pakistan win, it is above 850 for a Pakistan win which is an insane amount to get as odds, Pakistan is just trailing by 210 runs and they have 8 wickets in hand. If there is no weather interruption like we saw today there is a possibility that Pakistan could reach those scores as you never know how the Pakistan players usually play, England is dropping catches as usual and there is a chance considering the insane odds these sportsbook are providing.
