Only rain can save England now, they are struggling against the pace battery and spin.

Pakistan is in very dominating situation and only Pakistan can beat itself in this test by doing their thingy "Unpredictability"  I would be very disappoint if they throw away game from here.
161/7 First session was totally belong to England and now second one is going in Pakistan favour as Yasi Shah doing good job 3rd wicket now they can control this all again with tail enders I am also feeling Pakistan doing good so now time for first win without any choke because this can hurt all players and peoples at home badly.

Till now Pakistan is in full control of the match and hopefully they will get 100+ lead. England are struggling a 202 for nine wickets down. The Pakistani bowlers too have done a good job and restricted England in this all important first test match.

Third day of the game has resumed, and Pope has completed his half century. So now many things will depends upon how Butler and Pope build the partnership for the day and longer they stay on the pitch better are chances to reach close to Pakistan score. England are now trailing by 215 runs and Abbas is looking good from Pakistan bowling side to pick up wickets.
Ollie Pope was looking promising and i thought he would score a century but he got out to a beautiful delivery by Naseem Shah. Half of England side is back in the pavilion and they still trail by 178 runs and Pakistan is dominating the game and if they can continue picking the wickets and put pressure on England they will have a first innings lead and now they are in a position to win the match if they could dominate a couple of sessions with the bowl and bat.

This match is turning into a great match to watch as Pakistan have dominated the match but England are fighting back so its going to be an interesting day 3 as to see whether England can get close to Pakistan's first innings total. Just like in the series against the WI, England have started off badly but with this partnership between Pope and Buttler they can help steady the ship and maybe post a good total. This will be the key partnership for England if they are to get anywhere near Pakistan's first innings total.

Pope 46 runs not out innings helped England to slightly get back on track and ending day on 92/4. Still trailing by 234 runs and this would mean that Pakistan might get a lead in first innings if they can wrap up the remaining innings of England today. England in-between lose their track after some phenomenal winnings in past and then in between they just play some sloppy cricket.

Oh they are still in a pretty bad situation,  they have already lost 4 wickets and you cannot under estimate Pakistan's balling. Some one from England side has to stay on the wicket till the end of play today. If not then this test is out of England's hand.

Pope and Buttler are hanging on at the moment. It looks like their recent performances helped them out which is why this partnership is crucial. If Pakistan manage to remove them both quickly, they would have pretty much sealed the deal.

Afridi is good at removing tail-enders based on what I observed. If England continues to lose tests in this manner, they will never end up in the final top 3 of WTC rankings.

Is there any drawback if Pakistan does not win by big margin ? The matches are between two good teams and you should not expect big margin wins in this series.
Pakistan did bat well and now it is up to their bowlers and fielders to get their grip firm on the match.
A win is a win irrespective of the margin and if Pakistan can defeat England in their home ground it will give a huge confidence boost to the Pakistan young players. The bowlers are putting the pressure on the England batsman as they already lost their top order and a couple of wickets in the morning session will drown them and if the weather is good we will see a result and a good battle.
I just check weather is ok for next two days now its all about Pakistan how they response because if they able to have 1 or 2 quick wickets in first session then surely they are on driving seat otherwise these two can steal this all and bring back Pakistan under pressure because both playing very good and attacking cricket which is good point for England and these batsmen.

Looks like this is a repeat of the England vs West Indies series. Even during that series, England was complacent in the first match and as a result of it they lost the match. Here, I would rather congratulate the Pakistani pacers, who backed up the work done by their batsmen in an excellent way. Anyway, still it is too early to predict the outcome of this match.
I am pretty sure that Pakistan will win this one by a decent margin unless rain interferes which could end the match in a draw which I hope doesn't happen since Pakistan deserves the win here.

Root is hanging on currently, but his recent form makes me feel that he won't stay for long out in the middle. They got the big fish(Stokes) very quickly which is the turning point.

Now ENG is 70/4, Root gone.
But I am not very sure that Pakistan is going to win this match with a big margin, maybe a close fight but not by a big margin. ENG can comeback well in their second innings. If you see that Pakistani 1st innings, you can find that only 3 (Masood, Babar and Shadab) performed and all others lost their wickets for a single-digit score. But the first innings will undoubtedly provide the Paks a good lead of 150+ runs, so the chance for Pak winning this match is bright though.
Pakistan is very unpredictable team but right now they are on top and have some good grip in this match now they need to tight this all because England is not easy team to beat at home but first inning lead can give some big advantage as now England is in deep trouble 73/4 is never been good score for any team in test match I am feeling win in important margin is never been problem hopefully Pakistan will win and we will have another interesting series.

I just tuned in and was really surprised to see the score card specially Shan Masood make 156. I have not seen the Pakistan batting in the morning but will surely see the day's highlights. It will be interesting to see how England will come back in the match as they have the habit of bouncing back from such situations.

4th test 100 for Shan Massod......
Today Shan Masood playing his career best inning even with two chances but now very good and important role for Pakistan if they able to have 40 to 50 more runs then surely this is going a positive impact for Pakistan team and bowlers will also bowl with confidence hopefully we will have some interesting cricket in coming days without any rain.
He was playing ridiculously slow before the lunch but he did changed the gear after that. Was fortunate enough to watch this moment. I was watching this test for Babar Azam tho...

As of now score is 326/9 and everything is bonus from here. Pakistan is fav now IMO considering England team has a habit of losing first game of almost every series. Cheesy

Lunch Break

Pakistan = 187/5

3 quick wickets not helping Pakistan's cause. Shan Masood still showing resilience but playing very slow, New ball is due after few overs so it would be better if he pick up some pace and move scoreboard a bit before 2nd new ball comes in a play. Shadab Khan knows how to swing bat, not a bad idea if he steps up.

One good thing is Pitch looking good for spin as well, Dominic Bess is getting good amount of turn, likes of Yasir Shah can expect same treatment.



Edit 1

Very positive cricket from the Massod and Shadab, they added 54 runs in just 10 overs after lunch. England need breakthrough and they are trying hard.

After 4 wickets and 150 runs on board I feel England are back into the test. I do not think Pakistani players will  be able to bat the whole day today. While Babar Azam was batting it felt like Pakistan will easily cross 300 now it seems 250 would be a good score.
Its very difficult for them to touch 250 because now they all are in pressure and Pakistan is never been good in these conditions last pair is one crease if they able to bat some more time then surely touch 250+ otherwise 200+ is ok for them after Babar and Asad Shan already with 2 lifelines now third is not available for him as well.
