3rd Test - Pakistan v England at Rawalpindi - 24th-28th October 2024

[King-Gutho94]

The 3rd & deciding test of this remarkable series that has had everything from Bats flying to Golden ducks, triple centuries, 800 being scored and bald spinners running amok.

Everyone except India will be barracking for Pakistan and hoping to wipe the smug off the Bazballers.

England have won the toss and will be batting.

Pakistan v England: Ben Stokes eyes series win in Rawalpindi

Ben Stokes has already suffered one defeat in Rawalpindi this week, but a bigger prize is on offer in the final Test, writes Stephan Shemilt.

England 4/98 @ lunch after winning the toss and batting.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Make it 5 down

 

[TheParraboy]

5/110 - 30 overs

Still a chance for 500 in the day...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

6/119 as Stokes goes cheaply again

 

[TheParraboy]

This Gus fella is a find

Keeper Jamie too


Poms 6/224

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Smith rescuing the poms. He can bat, probably better than Pope and a couple of others.

Comes from the Mathew Wade Wicket Keeping Academy though.

 

[TheParraboy]

Gus out

7/225

 

[AlwaysGreen]

267 all out.

Let's see if it's a good or a bad total

 

[TheParraboy]

Sharma a Quiney ball duck

Sharma a Quiney ball duck

Wrong match haha

 

[TheParraboy]

ffs

 

[undertaker]

1st innings scores are currently level at tea (Pakistan currently 8/267)

Just like in the last test, these lower-order runs by Pakistan (in this case, the 8th wicket Shakeel/Ali partnership) could turn out to be vital on this pitch.

 

[undertaker]

Sajid Khan also contributing heavily with the bat. Pakistan now leading by 70 with one wicket left (Shakeel out for 134, fantastic innings).

These 8th and 9th wicket partnerships for Pakistan maybe the final straw for England.

 

[undertaker]

Pakistan all out for 344, lead by 77 runs

 

[King-Gutho94]

On ya bike Duckett
Piss off Crawley
And go into the bin Baz you flog

England 2/15 trailing by 52

 

[Fangs]

I like Sajid's moustache.

3 down now. Not looking good for olde England.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Pope gone

And Pakistan are cock a hoop.

Daring to dream a Pakistan/New Zealand double here.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pope is abysmal
