Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Pakistan team ended their first innings with a score of 556 runs, Pakistan succeeded in putting up a great batting performance in the first Test match. Anyway, we saw the second day's play with an amazing batting performance by Agha Salman, who succeeded in scoring a brilliant century. Anyway England team is batting at the moment Ollie Pope is out for zero runs he didn't play well today due to which England lost some energy today. Joe Root and Zak Crawley have formed a partnership at the moment and if Pakistan can't break their partnership then England will surely be expected to collect a big score.

This is very good batting pitch but still I can't understand why England lost their player early, how Ollie Pope lost his wicket after playing just two balls and scoring no run. He was an important player for the England team and also a big name in test matches, he always led the team in bad condition but not this time, he has out early on the flat pitch like Highway.

However, England still have very good batsmen and they could chase the game very easily in the further days of this test matches, Three days are still left. Let's see what more interesting things we will find in the next days.

The pitch was batting friendly, but I didn't expect Pakistan to collect that big. Because in the last series against Bangladesh, Pakistan's batsmen could not play well even on a batting friendly pitch. But Pakistani batsmen have performed brilliantly against England.

Three batsmen of the squad scored centuries. Saud Shakeel scored 82 runs and Shan Masood scored 151 runs. Pakistan team made a huge collection of 556 in 149 overs.

But England's top order is playing very well. Pope could not add any runs to the scoreboard. But Zak Crawley and Root are batting responsibly. England team collected 96 runs after losing 1 wicket in 20 overs.

Today, I think the Pakistan team are playing with responsibility and all the players were looking to stay on the batting crease and make runs. First of all, Shan Masood played very good innings, he made early fifty. The Pakistan team reached to the 100 score before 25 overs that was really good and also not losing the wickets.

After the wickets of Abdullah and Shan Masood, Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel started to make partnership but they both were slow. Which means that Babar Azam always used some balls and then start to play the game and especially in test, he used to play a lot of dot balls but at the same time he had focus on his strike rate and also hitting boundaries but in the gap of 4 overs. On the other hand, Saud Shakeel was playing slow because already the team reached at high score. He didn't lose his wicket. He was playing with tricks as for 3 or 4 balls he played no boundary then after some balls, he hit quick 2 or 3 boundaries.

Pakistan team they have done the best batting performance, Shafique, Masood, Soud Shaakel, Agha Salman these four batsmen are performing the best. That is why the Pakistan team is ready to collect 556 runs, but the target of such a big run is very challenging for the England team. An important batsman of the England team is already out, England team still have to make a big target of 460 runs in today's match.
But the most important thing is that the Pakistan players should go forward the most from the bowling side, only the bowling line is possible to put the England team under the most pressure then there will be a good performance in the first innings. Because the England team's run-rate gives the impression of victory, the Pakistan team is likely to be under a lot of pressure if the partnership lasts for a long time.

The last wicket of the Pakistan innings was the wicket of Abrar Ahmed and on that wicket, there was wonderful performance by Ben Duckett as he picked very great catch. Root did the short ball, Abrar Ahmed can't understand what to do, he moved his steps back and just touched the ball, the ball went through the keeper, but the keeper by chance dropped it but before touching the ground Ben Duckett located at the slip and picked an wonderful catch that caused the end of the Pakistan first innings. The target for England is 566 runs that is on the higher side and if Pakistan bowlers will work good then they may don't have to bat again.

It was a tough and long day for the England bowlers. In fact the first two days of this match, tested the England bowlers and fielders in this hot weather at Multan.

No douth the pitch is flat and every batsmen should have to play long in this pitch. I have a feeling that England will also bat well and may end up making runs close the the Pakistan team.

Also due to pitch conditions we saw four centuries in the Pakistan innings, Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel, Abdullah Shafique and Salman Agha all made the centuries. At the same time, the players from what we expect that they will perform (in Pakistan innings) played the most worst game as Babar Azam made some runs but with so bad strike rate and out while Muhammad Rizwan out on zero, I was excepting very much with him but he has out early on zero after playing 12 dot balls.

Pakistan team scored 556 runs, I would say it is a huge target for England, but England will bat well. We saw the loss of just one wicket today though later they batted responsibly. Moreover, England are also ready to bat well in the batting piece, the England team's current pairing will play the game strongly. Zak Crawley has scored great runs, Joe Root will score big if they can survive yesterday. But the Pakistan team needs to be tougher and if they can't improve their bowling performance, they can't put England under pressure, that's why the bowling needs to be improved for the Pakistan team.

The first two days has passed, and I think the game is going good for the Pakistan so far and just three days are left now. Imagine if tomorrow full 90 overs England will use these all overs in batting and get the lead then they will try to get the lead of at least 200 which means they have to make 750+ that will not be easy for them, it is like impossible which means if England get lead, then they had low lead of around 70 or max to max 90 runs that will chase by Pakistan easily. But then it will end up in a draw.

Otherwise, I think if Pakistan bowlers will do some more effort then they could allow Pakistan not to bat again. This means that they have to bowl England out twice in three remaining days but this will be difficult too on a batting wicket.

Abrar Ahmed was searching for the wickets as last time two year before, he played his first match against England and was named as the player of the match as he picked around 8 or 7 wickets that is why he was trying to repeat it again but now he can't do it, tried every single thing to get wicket at the start, doing different balls and trick the batsmen with different tricks but he has not get any wicket.

I think Pakistan have to pick wickets quickly as fast as they can because they had very bad record recently in the last test matches against Bangladesh and against Australia that is why they have to win this game at any cost to get back their reputation.

Where are you guys watching Pak vs Eng?

Any live stream? For some reason, it's not working on Tamasha's site.

Does Tamasha's app work outside Pakistan too ? I never knew that. I thought it was for the the Pakistan only.

Anyways i have taken subsrcition of the IPTV and it is really cheap, just cost around a dollar for a month and i get the opplex server. Being myself in Pakistan, i get access to all the Star sports channels and all other sporting channels world wide and it is really useful to watch IPL  

If IPTV is avaible in your region, you may give it a try and then you may watch the Pak/Eng matches on PTV Sports.
