Matthew Potts has gone at the wrong time, Gus Atkinson was batting with a high run rate and making partnership with Mattew Pots. Also, they both were comfortable to each other. Now I think there could be a big surprise for England’s team because a long and the main partnership has broken. If Olly Stone would be out early then maybe England would not touch to 450. Let’s see what will happen, I just hope Olly Stone would not be out early and Atkinson too. By the way, overall I think at the same time too, it is the time for the England team to declare their innings.

England team have made very good score, You do not need to worry about the England team declaration as they are all out at 427 runs.

Now they have trust their bowlers that they would not allow Sri Lanka batsmen to reach this target in both innings and win this match by an innings Wink

However I think they have to safe play and have to finish the innings otherwise the match could be tied if the Srilanka batsmen get set. I think the mindset for the Sri Lanka batsmen is to play one innings for long, plan in every session and then it would go for a draw because Sri Lanka has understood they could not win this game for sure, there is no chance for them.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Match

After winning the first match now Bangladesh is ready to play the second match with Pakistan. First match win was an unexpected win means 90% chances was that the match will be drawn but Bangladesh proven that they can win that kind of match too.
Well tiday is the second match and I think Bangladesh will perform well again but here we can't underestimate Pakistan too because their performance was also excellent in the first inning. So both teams will play toughly so let's wait and see who will perform well.

ESPNcricinfo
Both teams were very optimistic about the second Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Bangladesh's dream was to win the series by beating Pakistan in the second Test anyway. Similarly, on the other hand, the Pakistan team had a dream that after losing the first test match, they would avenge the loss against Bangladesh, i.e. they would win the second test match and level the series. But the rain has poured water between the dreams of these two teams. The first day's play of the second Test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan has been abandoned due to rain. Now it remains to be seen if it doesn't rain tomorrow and even if the outfield is ready to play, maybe this game will start.

After 21 years, Bangladesh managed to defeat Pakistan in a Test series match on Pakistani soil by a huge margin of 10 wickets. Many cricket fans are eyeing Bangladesh for such a great win against Pakistan.

But Joe Root is batting responsibly. Root changed the entire scenario of the match by playing a huge innings of 143 runs / Now Atkinson is also batting well. Atkinson is unbeaten with 83 runs from 87 balls. England's collection of 367 runs after losing 7 wickets. If Atkinson stays at the crease, it will be easy for England to collect 400 runs. But England's innings probably won't last much longer if Atkinson loses his wicket.

The three overs has been bowled today and the England team players are doing very well. They started the innings with the run rate of 5, that’s great. The interesting thing is that Gus Atkinson almost reached his century as he is batting on 94 right now, but the main shock is that he made it under 100 balls, he is playing like ODI match. Remember he is the bowler too. Just imagine, if he will be out in this position, how disappointing this will be for him but I hope it will not happen, his played a wonderful innings to achieve 100 runs.

The second test match between England and Sri Lanka is going on and this test series is being held in England considering the conditions and England's performance I can definitely put England ahead in this case I am not criticizing any team or I am not commenting without watching the game. The first innings of the second Test match is still going on where England managed to score 358 runs for 7 wickets at the end of the first day. If 400 plus runs are added to the scoreboard, then it will be difficult for Sri Lanka to score this run in the first innings.

The England team has recovered well in this test match. There was a time when England team were 5 wickets down at 192 runs. At that moment, it was a golden opportunity for the Sri Lanka to take the remaining wickets and get a strong hold on the game but they missed this chance. Joe Root rescue the England team and he made 143 runs alone and that is the reason we see England over 350 with still three wickets in hand.
I bet on the England team as I think that they are more stronger than Sri Lanka and may remain on the upper hand for most of the sessions in this test match.

The top order of the England team did not perform well. Especially Dan Lawrence scored only 9 runs and Ollie Pope scored 1 run. Also important batsmen like Brook, Smith and Woakes also failed to play big innings. Everyone is a very important player in England's squad. And due to these batsmen not being able to bat well, the England team was under pressure at the beginning of the innings.

But Joe Root is batting responsibly. Root changed the entire scenario of the match by playing a huge innings of 143 runs / Now Atkinson is also batting well.

Lol what just happened here? Did they really drop Shaheen from the Squad and that too at home or he's not fully fit and rested?

His FIL won't be happy to see his Son in law getting sidelined like this. One could speculate anything, including politics in the Pakistani team but he's not the same bowler after the injury, his pace is missing, and not able to find his rhythm.

I remember Shastri's words in the last ODI WC "He's good but FFS (Adding his emotions) he's not Wasim".

The Rain interrupted the first day of play, and the weather conditions in Rawlpandi are not good. Rain continues falling and I don't think play will resume today. Pakistan team announced their playing XI and made two changes Abrar Ahmad and Mir Hamza replaced Shaheen Shah Afridi in a second test match against Bangladesh. I Think Pakistan make a good change If Mir Hamza is performing well in this test match. he will indeed be a strong option in Test matches. Abrar Ahmad is also a good spin bowler who can turn the match position at any time. It’s always good to see players like Mir Hamza and Abrar Ahmad come up in the team and making an impact by giving amazing performance.

The reason that is viral recently is that Shaheen Shah Afridi misbehaved with Shan Masood in front of the crowd and the umpires that is why Shan Masood may not give him chance to play. It is the personal matter between Shaheen and Shan Masood that could be the reason. I am research on this as well and internal matters within the Pakistan team not looking good. However, still it is not confirmed whether Shaheen plays tomorrow or not.

Not sure if that is the case because Shaheen's PR and lobby within PCB are stronger than Shan's. My bet would be on resting because of the pitch and one can also mix it with performance as well (Still he's a big name, at least in Pak.

The Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh team was supposed to start, but the match has been postponed till now due to rain. The rain has not come under control so far, so the outcome of this second test match will depend on the decision taken by the cricket board. Since the match has not started, the possibility of restarting the game is very high.

~snip~

I have mentioned India and Australia in my previous post because in the Tests played in the last few years, England have given tough competition to India as well as Australia. If you look at the Ashes series, Australia wins one match and England wins the other. Nothing like that happened in the Ashes series where Australia won all the matches single-handedly.

In Red ball, Home (Easy) and Away (Hard) tour paints a complete picture, sometimes context also matters (like toss, who's available or not etc). Don't let BAZBALL fool you. Against India and Australia Yes, they've improved under the new coach and skipper but only in vibes.

They barely manage to draw the last Ashes and that too at home after winning 4 toss. Similarly IND vs ENG series also saw a draw and the main reason wasn't performance but IPL Schedule, mismanagement and random one-off test, just to conclude the series and it ended up 2-2. India was leading 2-1.

That was their home record in the last 2-3 years against IND/AUS and as far as their away tour goes these are the numbers of their last 3 tours.

Ashes In Australia
2013 : 5-0
2017 : 4-0
2021 : 4-0

In India
2016 : 4-0
2020 : 3-1
2024 : 4-1

Some would argue (Which is fair) that the last series was competitive but they forget India had a fresh batting lineup and lost 4 tosses + won 1 match by an inning + won 1 match by freaking 434 runs + 1 match by over 100 runs). Some might also argue that England had the rookie spinners, well when did they have any spinners anyway except in the 2013 series (Panesar-Swann)

England team is always strong for Tests be it against Australia India or South Africa and in any conditions.

I would humbly suggest that if you don't watch or are aware of test cricket, you shouldn't make such generic observations about anything. It looks bad and fair amount of posters might take such statements as a troll or signature spam.

Only reason I responded is because I wanted to point out that, this statement would've made a lot more sense if there had been no mention of Australia and India.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹

The second Test match of Pakistan vs Bangladesh will be held, and this match will be very important for both the teams. If the Bangladesh team can play a good game in today's match, then they will be ahead and have a chance to win the series. And if Pakistan team wins then of course the results of both teams will be equal, so both teams will play well in today's match. We saw the first match Bangladesh team won by 10 wickets which was really interesting according to today's match if Bangladesh can play well then surely they can make good score. However, since we know Pakistan as the stronger team among these two teams as they have won every match they played against Bangladesh before, only Bangladesh managed to win the first match of this series.

Here are the chances that on the first day of the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, there is not good weather in Rawalpindi and there could be rain on the first day of the next match due to the weather conditions and till now here is the rain too. The Pakistan team is in danger of a series loss, if this match will tie then Pakistan may lose this series.

The reason is that there are the chances for rain too in the last match on 3rd September 2024, meanwhile, you can say perhaps 2 days may be wasted due to rain according to the Google weather forecast. I hope this forecast will be wrong and we have a full 5 days of non-stop cricket.

This sounds interesting. If this is a political move, I think such moves will not help the Pakistan Government's cause of holding Imran Khan supporters. Pakistan's political landscape is not looking good and they have border tensions with their neighbours. Things are not good for either Bangladesh or Pakistan on political fronts.

No, we don't have any tension with the neighbours, it is our own government and army that is againist the civilians and uses the countries resources for thier own benefit. Even if one day India or any neighbouring country attacked Pakistan, we will be standing againist our army

This unexpected news has been taken storm by the social media and there are many rumours floating in the market. Some says that Shaheen has been given rest to spend time with his family as he become the father of a baby boy last week. Some syas that he needs time to work on his bowling and come back strong. I don't agree with these lame excuses and believe that there is some huge politics going on within the team that forced such decisions.

Bangladesh team head coach Hathurisingh is very confident in this second test match, Bangladesh team won the first test match by 10 wickets. So, if the Bangladesh team can perform batting very seriously and confidently in this second test match, then it is definitely possible to win the second match as well. Because the coach of the Bangladesh team has given the direction, of course, if the players can control the right batsmen at the right time, victory can be assured in this match.

Meanwhile, the players of the Pakistan team are confident that they will win the second match after they lost the first match and came out of the shell of losing the second match. So this second match can only be won by the team that can perform seriously well.

Yes you are right Bangladesh was great in the last test match. And now they will play again today. And now Pakistan has made some changes in squad and now I think their squad is looking more weaker as compare to previous one.
Well we can't say anything at this time both can play well. They will show their powers in the ground so we will see them their. By the way I was very happy and appreciated the performance of Bangladesh and now I hope they will continue their performance and will win again.

I was not at all prepared to see Bangladesh win the first match. Because both the teams performed well in the first two innings. Both teams collected big. Pakistan probably did not imagine that Bangladesh team has the ability to collect 500+. And this is why Pakistan was defeated. But Pakistan batted very badly in the second innings. Pakistan team probably lost all the wickets for 146 runs. After batting brilliantly in the first innings, we did not think that Pakistan would bat so badly in the second innings.

However, Pakistan will definitely not make the same mistake in the second match. This pitch of Rawalpindi cannot be called batting friendly. Batting well is difficult enough on this pitch. So it seems unlikely to me to see a big score. Moreover, I found the Bangladeshi bowling order to be quite strong. The second match is likely to be more competitive. After the win in the first match, the Bangladeshi players are now more confident.

In the second Test match between Sri Lanka and England, England team lost 7 wickets and collected 358 runs on the first day. Joe Root was in great batting form in today's match, his matchless batting performance was impressive, he got out with 143 runs off 206 balls. Gus Atkinson is also batting brilliantly 74 runs off 81 balls he is still batting brilliantly and unbeaten to score a century. Anyway, I think England's batting performance in this second test match is pretty good and they are playing well enough to win the series. Moreover, the score they have made now will definitely make a better score if they play the next day and give Sri Lanka a big lead.

This test series have total 3 games and one already played and Sri Lanka team lose and second is continuing playing in pitch and England team lead this series with 1 win. Sri Lanka team won the toss and got a chance to take right decision and they chose field first. Start of their inning was not going good because Dan and Ollie both not played very well and made only few runs before out. Ben first opener batsman he made 40 runs. But Root effort was mind blowing and he helped a lot and he made 143 runs in 206 balls with hitted eighteen 4s. Atkinson also playing well and he still on pitch and made 74 runs and he also will make brilliant century I am damn sure because his playing style is unique and he hitted four 6s and five 4s. Sri Lanka is now under pressure and if England will succeed to make 450+ runs. England chance increase highly to win this game.

After losing early wickets a good back from English batters and posted a good total which is always difficult for Srilanka to achieve it and then posted a lead. Lets hope for the best that at day 2 Srilanka raps up the things ASAP.

Well, Sri Lanka had the match perfectly in their grasp. But then they wasted the opportunity. When Chris Woakes got out, England was struggling at 216/6. But then the partnership between Joe Root and Gus Atkinson rescued them. And they should have cleaned up the tail at least once Joe Root got out. But then Matthew Potts joined Atkinson and continued to frustrate the Lankans. There is a good chance that England will get to a total of 400-450. And that will make sure that the Lankans lose this match as well.
