Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

England are looking favorite now. The captain Root and Sibley are playing very sensibly and England are slowing cursing towards the target without losing any more wickets. Although England did not played well in the first innings but they have dominated in the 2nd innings bowling and batting.

The match is really interesting as England lost their 4th wicket and England still need 170 runs to win the match and Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler are in the crease and one more wicket will put immense pressure on England, the only advantage England have is they have enough time to play a slow innings but the top order did that and failed, it is an interesting session for both the teams.

Yasir Shah is the new Messiah for Pakistan and strong contender of Man of the Match.

Yasir Shah is not consistent with his line and length but he is picking wickets.

Edit:
England lost their 5th wicket Ollie Pope is gone by a beautify delivery from Shaheen Shah Afridi, really unplayable delivery .

England are 167/5 and require another 110 runs. This is going to be interesting and this game is now depended on Butller or Woakes. IF one of batsman stays till last then England has good chance to win as Broad can also contribute 20-30 runs easily.

Both teams playing very good cricket even Yasir is not good as he need to be because he is not bowling on his line which is causing problems for him and English batsmen attacking on him but still 100 runs to go and last pair is on after tea we are going to have very exciting last session of this test match who win its still not clear

Yeah he's leaking runs but being a leggie is not an easy task so its fine at some extent, he's picking wicket as well so all good.

This new Buttler-Woakes partnership is hurting them.   Have to tell that being a Pakistani fan is a hell and so much difficult, simple game turning into thriller.

Edit 77 runs partnership on 89 deliveries...........

By the end of 1st innings, Pakistan is lead by 107 runs. If England manages to get Pakistanis out around 200, they'll have a target of 300-350 runs which is a chaseable score considering the English batting lineup. So, I believe that there is still a bit of chance for England to get back in to the game.

Only 77 runs needed for England to win the match and Butler-Woakes partnership looks strong. I knew that there is a chance for England to win   This is a thriller! I think, England will win this match too bad that I didn't bet on it yesterday  

Butler and Woakes completed their fifties

The credit goes to Pakistan to make the test match more thriller than a T20  

Buttler and Woakes are playing a match winning innings.
I think England will win from here easily but you never know when your opposition is Pakistan.

Only Pakistan can change the match like this, glad that i did not fell for the bait on betting on this match as i was convinced that Pakistan would win the match after Pakistan took the lead.

Pakistan gave hopes to the fans by picking wickets but they are struggling to contain Jose Butler when he started counter attack. If Pakistan can pick a couple of wickets we can see a thrilling finish.

Pakistan is looking desperate to get a wicket but no luck till now. They have lost 2 reviews in quick time and now they have no more reviews left. Only 34 runs left for England to win. This match will finish in just 4 days of play.

The match is over, England just need 21 more runs to win the match, Pakistan made a good effort but they lost the match when they failed miserably in the second innings and then they started well picking quick wickets but one good partnership is more than enough to secure a win and lets see whether Pakistan can learn from the mistakes and come back stronger in the second match.

Pakistan really like to create a thrilling finish for the fans , Yasir Shah finally took the wicket of Jos Buttler but England just need 13 runs to win the match. If Pakistan could score another 50 runs more in the second innings it would have been interesting and England does have a long batting line up with Chris Woakes chipping in at the right moment and scoring a valuable match winning half century and i hope he gets the man of the match award for his all round performance.

Now I can blame poor second inning batting and poor captaincy by Azhar for lost of this test match but still Woakes and Buttler both hero for England they fight well win this match for their country and team very good effort from these two now Pakistan can white washed in this series after this lost because they are down and out.

Happened to see the scoreboard now and realized that England managed to win this test match. What a pull back from the way they had started this test match and ends up winning the match. Pakistan will be disappointed as it was their game as they played well in the end slightly England provided better and won this very exciting test match.

England really played well and the way they came back in the match is impressive and shows that they are the world champions. Pakistan have to improve their batting a lot if they want to come back in the remaining two test matches.

First three days control by Pakistan and on Fourth day England won this test match this change is done by Pakistan because they have ability to do things like this we have very good record in these things and I am happy we still able to do this very poor captaincy and lack of energy from bowlers cost this test match congrats to England and their fans.

They had enough run on the board to defend. Team Pakistan always depends on their bowler than their batsman. The last 2 wicket of Pakistan  added 30+ run which was bonus for them. I will say poor performance by the pakisthani bowler. It disappointing for the Pakistani fan they completely faliled in the second innings.

I cal this very poor leadership by Azhar after taking 117/5 he need to do some more attack but his tactics was not right on right time so he lost this match and bring down moral of all team I am feeling he not deserve this spot even not his place in team is not right as he is not performing for some time management need to change things and bring some better batsmen.

Pakistan never ceases to disappoint me. I thought they would win the first test against the current English side pretty easily by a decent margin, but England rebounded spectacularly. Woakes and Buttler stole the match away from them.

My expectations from Pakistan have dropped even lower now. I am expecting England to easily win this series now. Pakistan are still lacking in many, many areas currently.

Yeah Pakistan had a big chance at winning this match after an all round first innings performance with the bat and ball but it was their second innings batting that let them down and all the momentum was with England. It seems that when Pakistan get in winning positions in test matches that they can't go on with it and get the wins.

It was a great show by the England middle order batsmen and they turned the match around. If you see that England middle order batting is very strong and they have always helped England to get out of worse situation.  England is now on the way for another series win.
