No one was expecting decision like this from England and Ben Stokes, but they play a big gamble and most chances this will go in their favour specially after wicket of Babar Azam now Pakistani batting lineup is under pressure, and they will not play freely which will help English bowling on fifth day of this test match and this dead match is now going to end in a very entertaining way all praises to England and their management.

Imam-ul-Haq and Saud Shakeel has built a good partnership after losing the first two wickets too quickly. England bowlers got a little success by taking the two early wickets. Babar Azam and Shafique, both players got centuries in the first innings. Therefore Pakistan is really under pressure. But they have a good opportunity to win the match. Rizwan and Azhar Ali have to take the responsibilities in the second innings. Everything will depend on the first session of tomorrow. England bowlers will try to pick some quick wickets in the morning.

Do you think we will see any results of this match? Pakistan needed just 263 runs to win on the final day. It is not a big target if the Pakistani players can stay at the crease. I think Pakistan will win this match if they don't lose wickets in the first session tomorrow. Pakistan lost two wickets for just 25 runs and was in trouble. But Imam Ul Haque and SHakeel are now batting very responsibly. If these two players are able to prolong their partnership, I don't think Pakistan will have any problem to win this match. But batting on the last day and staying at the crease is very difficult.

Pakistan is going to have a good chance of winning this match. In my opinion. Pakistan has a whole day to play and also have eight wickets in hand.
Pakistan is going to need 263 runs to win on the last day. We have to remember that one player of Pakistan is currently retired hurt.
So, Pakistan will have to be careful going for the win.

Yesterday i said that there was not going to be any outcome of this match, except for a draw, but right now a draw seems to be highly unlikely to happen.

More 263 runs seems to be reachable target. Pakistan had a great first innings, and something similar will bring result to the match at the earliest. Most of them expected this to be a draw, but now match moves towards result. I think England have made a miscalculation. Lets watch what's gonna happen in the final day.

I will not say that reaching the target of 263 runs is impossible. Because Pakistan's batsmen proved their ability in the first innings. They batted very well and scored 579 runs. But the problem is that it is difficult to survive in the creek in the last days. The pitch becomes slow, the batsmen cannot bat well. However, I would say both teams have equal chances to win. Pakistan will win if Imam Ul Haque, Rizwan and Naseem bat well. Or they lose. The chances of the match being a draw are very low.

But if Pakistan loses 2/3 wickets in the first session, then it will be very difficult for Pakistan to get back on track. Collecting 263 runs in 90 overs is not a very difficult task.

It depends entirely on the batting now. But I think victory is now under the control of Pakistan. Since they still have a few good wickets in hand. But the main thing is that they have to play and should not lose any wickets. If there enough wicket then the chances of winning this match are very high. And only 253 runs are needed. Which I think is nothing hard for them. However, it is good to say that if they make a mistake, they may have to suffer. because the opponent is England who is most experienced in the test cricket.

I partially agree with you. The outcome of the match will depend on the first session itself. Also, staying at the crease on the last day is challenging. Pakistan lost one wicket before adding 10 runs to the scoreboard today. Experienced batsman Imam Ul Haque returned to the dressing room with 48 runs. Right now Pakistan needs 253 runs to win. Pakistan team could not start the day well. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan are batting now. Saud Shakeel is batting very well, he collected 29 runs off 67 balls. Rizwan played 9 balls but could not collect any runs. If these two batsmen can build a big partnership then maybe Pakistan will win. But I think Pakistan will lose a few more wickets in the first session.

Aside from hitting a fifty, Saud Shakeel has been batting very well and is confident of going big. Against the English bowlers, Rizwan performed well and challenged them to stay for long. At this moment, it would be wrong to give wickets away to English bowlers. A total of 188 runs is needed by Pakistan. During the process of going for runs, batsmen will lose some wickets, but their approach should ensure that wickets are not lost. I hope the rest of the day the team played well in the test match. If Pakistan settles for a draw instead of a win, I will be amazed if they give up on a possible win.

The match between Pakistan and England is looking very intresting. I thought that it might end in draw but now both the teams have a chance to win the first test. Although Pakistan has lost two wickets but they have the ability to chase 263 on the 5th day. All they need to do is not lose anymore wickets and form a partnership. England to can snatch this match from the hands of Pakistan if they can get 8 wickets on the last day. The last day looks pretty interesting at this point.

All credit goes to the England team (Ben Stokes and the coach Brendon McCullum).

They are really playing with a positive and result oriented mindset. I bet most of the test teams would think twice about declaring the inning after playing just 35 overs on such a dead pitch but this English leadership is targeting a result. Win or lose, that's a different discussion.

That decision might get back fired today ! I am sure they would have gone through multiple scenarios before coming up with the decision. England at the moment is struggling to contain or apply pressure on Pakistani batters. Pakistan only need 174 runs and they have only lost 3 wickets. In my opinion it is far easy now for Pakistan to win this test match than England.

The only problem with Pakistan team is that they are unpredictable. They are in very strong position to win the game but in next few overs they have the ability to give this test match to England. Giving a target of 344 on such road is not a wise move IMO. Runs are coming here quite easily and it wont be easy to defend a target of 344 here. Lets see what happens in next 2 session.

Everyone knows Pakistan is unpredictable but you can clearly see in this match they need to chase a small target and have the full 5th day to do it. At the moment they only need 86 runs and they have 51 overs in hand. They have lost 5 wickets which can be a little concerning but I think it doesn't matter at this stage. Mind you they are also playing in their homeground and are aware of the conditions.

The tea break is going on, which is a lot of good news for Pakistan.  With a target of 344 runs, Pakistan ended the fourth day on 93 runs yesterday.  Today in the fifth day's play, Pakistan is in complete control.  Pakistan's victory is only a matter of time.  Pakistan needed just 86 runs before the tea break.  Five wickets and endless overs in hand.  There are seven centuries and many fifties in addition to making history for England in this Test.  This match could have been very important for England in test cricket but unfortunately England could not give much of a target in this test.  So I am forced to say that England will lose this Test unless there is some other miracle.

Totally agreed as for the current conditions here, I am damn sure the match is the favor of a draw maybe if Pakistan plays well can win the match but the picture is not ended yet, Let's see. Defending that total on this pitch is not easy as Watche said. Day 5 played an important role and its till ongoing.

Now scenario is completely changed. Pakistan at the moment need 80 runs in 30 overs with 3 wickets in hand. Clearly it's now England who has become favorite to win this game. These win predictors are useless as they make decision based on current scenario.

Niether yours nor mine prediction went well. As usual Pakistan lost a match which they could have won easily or could have drawn it. On thier homeground getting defeated royally is a big shame for the Pakistani side. The gamble that the English side took went well for them. Good comeback by the England team.

These predictions are made by bots so they are not completely professional . The bot makes these predictions by looking at the previous game performance of each team and according to the previous game results and capacity.  So they are not completely true . Meanwhile, England won by 74 runs even though Pakistan's winning rate was higher

[Hamza2424]

Woops! really like really there was about the 20% chance of winning and they won Pakistan was a strong contender on that time. What just happened I really don't know but Pakistan was winning the clear-cut match but what should I say now not even a draw it's a loss. Google live prediction is so unprofessional haha. Well played ENG and no words for PAK performance from last 30 overs.

[onecall123]

What a brilliant performance by England! It's great to see England succeed. The courage they displayed, the risks they took, and the rewards they received were all rewarded. There is much to be learned from their approach. Without a change of team combination and game approach, Pakistan will lose on our turf for a long time to come.

Unpredictable is something else but losing on a dead wicket shows that Pakistan has an incapable batting.

Everyone was asking why Pakistan make dead wickets in their home ground. Now we have the answer. They are unable to bat on the dead wicket, how can they bat if the wicket is green or even a little grass on it.

England really surprised the world that if the opponent is too defensive in creating dead wickets, they can still win the match.
