Rain could be part of today's play and match begin and it started raining and covers were called on. Now after inspection it is confirmed that it will resume at 12:40 PM and lunch has been postponed to 2PM instead of 1 scheduled time. At times it can act as a distraction as well since again the batsman has to start to re-focus themself on the pitch and can be an issue. On other hand Pakistan would like to pick couple of quick wickets so that they do not score a very big total in 1st innings.
England have already scored a big total and even if they lose quick wickets they can easily make 450+ runs which is impressive. Considering Pakistani batsmen previous performances, i don't think they will be able to compete in this match and might lose this match by an innings.

^Yeah rain could come into play in this match. But if England manages to score around 550 runs by the end of the day, I'm afraid Pakistan will lose this match even if we have rain interruptions. Although, Pakistan bowling seemed a bit better compared to yesterday, Butler has safely completed his century and Crawley is only 14 runs short of his double century. Only way for Pakistan to get back into the game is by breaking the partnership at the earliest then continue the momentum and pick up some quick wickets.

^^ England don't want to bat again in this match and everything seems to going on their way so far. If they succeed to put big total then Pakistan need some monumental performances from their premiere batsmen. Tough criticisms are on the way for skipper Azhar Ali if he fails as batsman here again.

I am sure Pakistani batsmen will not be able to chase any score above 350. England is still going strong and they will easily surpass 400 on the board. Crawley is only 3 runs short to get a double hundred. Butler is on 166 and most of the Pakistan bowlers have failed to stop these two guys.

I thought the entire day will be lost due the rain but happy to see that the match was able to resume and England is piling up runs especially Zak Crawley who is 33 runs short of his triple century and he is able to reach that milestone then it would be awesome as this is his first century and then going on to score a triple century would be a record meanwhile Jos Buttler is playing the second fiddle and he is playing defensively which i did not expect considering his strike rate of above hundred in ODI.

You got crawley out He's cursed ..... -------- Edit : Butler gone.. 536/6, 30 overs left England need to change gears now and add some quick runs on the board, give at least 15 overs to Pakistan to bat on. Who know if English bowlers gets lucky with the new ball.. they wont mind couple of early wickets.

Today some very busy time in different places so unable to watch match but now after checking score board some confuse what are they doing because we are expecting some good rain in last two days and they already in full command but still no declaration is something going wrong with these weather sites or England want give batsmen full training session.

This is good for Pakistan as they would not want to bat in the depth overs for today. They will not mind if England score some more runs today. I am not sure what England is thinking at the moment. The more overs they bat now, this will just move the match towards the draw if the rains effects the match in next 3 days.

You are right but one thing is sure they are going to give last few overs for batting today to Pakistan as its very old and good tactic by teams today Pakistani bowling is very ordinary and now all depend on batting how they response in last few days of this series beccause now Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq both have last chance to perform some better other their time is up.

There is still 22 overs left for the day and ENG are currently at 570 runs.. ENG is most probably looking at the 600 run mark in the next 5-7 overs and then declare. So Pak will have 15 overs to bat.

Not 15 overs most probably they have to play nearly 9 or 10 overs because now time is also running out very quickly and 15 overs left so they will reduce 3 overs for change as well 583/8 Broad gone and we have declaration now nearly 12 overs.

The first target for the Pakistani batsmen will be 383. If they are able to avoid the follow-on, it will be a big achievement for them. I hope we bat well this time and also do not lose any wickets. Don't you think Pakistan should sent one regular opener along with one night watchman at this time ?

There are still 12 overs left in the match and there is no reason to experiment anything. They should go with the regular openers as they will be experienced enough to handle the England fast bowlers.

Pakistan as usual bad start 7/1 Shan Masood Victim no 594 for Anderson so guys can he complete his 600 wickets in this test match or we have to wait for some more about this post your views here about this as match is really bad for me right now. 11/2 Abid Ali gone Anderson victim no 595 now just 5 more to go. 24/3 Babar Azam gone Victime no 596 for Anderson now just 4 more to go.

So don't you think that sending a night watch man would have been a better idea because night watch man has no pressure and he could have played freely. You can see the result now as Pakistan has lost 3 wickets in no time and there top order has collapsed.

Brother in current situation sending night watchman is never been good idea because right now you lost 3 wickets and if you send this then surely you are going to lost 4 wickets and more pressure currently Pakistani team is out of mind completely they need some good mentor and Misbah is not right man for them.

~ You got crawley out I was expecting a triple ton from him, but he got out just when you made the above post Sort of my words and i was shocked as i was watching the match while writing that and got out to one of the rarest form of dismissal in Test cricket and i did not expect a stumping. England need to change gears now and add some quick runs on the board, give at least 15 overs to Pakistan to bat on. Who know if English bowlers gets lucky with the new ball.. they wont mind couple of early wickets.
Pakistan players were struggling against the seam bowling of James Anderson and they lost 3 wickets and as i expected Pakistan will be struggling to avoid the follow on. Brother in current situation sending night watchman is never been good idea because right now you lost 3 wickets and if you send this then surely you are going to lost 4 wickets and more pressure currently Pakistani team is out of mind completely they need some good mentor and Misbah is not right man for them. The idea behind sending the night watchman is to defend the rest of the few balls but the umpire called it a days as soon as Babar Azam lost his wicket, Pakistan needs a good captain to lead the team and he needs to have the freedom to select the team like they used to do in the past, finding raw talents on the streets small tournaments across the country and giving them opportunity.
