Pakistan 1st innings 556+ England 1st innings 823
Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of one-day cricket will say that this match will definitely be a draw, but in Pakistan's case, how this match came to the brink of defeat is in no way acceptable. It is curious whether Pakistan can finally draw this match with 152 for 6. With just four wickets left with a full day and 115 runs behind, this match will be a no-go for Pakistan. It is the Pakistan team that cannot be predicted in any way because the speed of Pakistan's game can change in any direction at any moment.

When Shan Masood was out then I understood if at that time any two players did not make a partnership then for sure, Pakistan couldn't score high and then the losing wickets streak couldn't be stopped and I was right as after Shan Masood wicket's another player gone named Siam Ayub on 12th over and the Pakistan loses this match, the chances of this started to increase. Also before Siam Ayub, in the last ball of the over Babar Azam was gone too and that time, I realized Pakistan and its bad form were here. No one could even imagine after seeing the first innings of Pakistan that Pakistan would perform like this in the second innings.

England made history in the first innings of the first test match against Pakistan and if they had not declared the innings they might have completed 1000 runs in one innings.  

The way England have batted, it seems that they will not need to bat in the second innings as there is not much time left for Pakistan to be all out. Pakistan has lost 6 wickets by scoring 152 runs and is still 115 runs behind England. Hopefully, in the next day, England will try to squeeze Pakistan from the start and they will drop multiple wickets early on, which will help them beat Pakistan easily by an innings.

I haven't seen a good performance from Pakistani bowlers for a long time. Pakistan's bowlers could not perform well against Bangladesh. And this is why Pakistan team lost both matches of the series. Pakistan lost the home series against a weak team like Bangladesh. So the chances of Pakistan winning against a strong team like England was very low.

However, after Pakistan batted well in the first innings, I thought they had a chance to win against England. But as usual the performance of the bowlers was very poor. Harry Brook and Joe Root destroyed Pakistan's bowling order. Harry Brook scored 317 runs from 322 balls and ROot scored 262 runs. England's total was 823/7.

Pakistan faced a batting disaster in their second innings. And Pakistan has a big chance of losing the match. Pakistan lost 6 wickets to collect only 82 runs. Pakistan's total at the end of the fourth day is 152/6. Pakistan is still behind by 115 runs.

[Mahdirakib]

I think now the Pakistan team just have one option to draw the game otherwise they are completely losing the game. One day is still here and if Pakistan would play like this, for sure they would lose this game. Don't have to lose their wickets and they don't have to play fast, just maintain the partnership and then it would be great for Pakistan, they lost some important players wickets in the early part of the game, in fact lost the top 6 wickets cheaply.

We shouldn't expect to see anything else rather than a defeat of Pakistan in this match now. Only the rain can help Pakistan to avoid the defeat, but weather report says no rain tomorrow. I had considered Pakistan as a favourite team in this match after the first day, from the next day I thought this match will end as a draw. But Pakistan has surprised me today with their poor batting performance. They will lose their remaining four wickets in the first session of tomorrow.

Thinking of any other result except that of Pakistan's loss is too optimistic if anyone is from the Pakistan nation. England will 100% win this test and hopefully they will take the remaining four wickets in the first session tomorrow morning.

Also when the Pakistan team made so many runs in the first innings and when their players were hitting the boundaries and making centuries, it was giving them the vibes of a good comeback but no one know what was going to happen later. As after the innings England came to bat and scored more than 800 and their players were making 250 and 80 or 90 while Harry Brook who played innings of more than 300 and in the single test innings, he made his triple test century.

Wow, England played wonderfully well in this game. Almost more than 500 runs were made by Harry Brook and Root.

[tsaroz]

I was wrong to think 556 would be a safe score. England not only replied it with huge 823 but they did it in short time. An overall strike rate of 5.48 which is better than many ODIs. A double century by Joe root and a triple century by Harry Brook.
Pakistan could have still played saving the wickets leading it to a draw but they have lost 6 wickets making 82 runs. Thanks to Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal, they are keeping the chances of a draw alive but they need to bat a whole day tomorrow if they want to draw the game. Fall of wicket earlier would mean a win for England as Pakistan is still trailing by 115 runs.

[Bitcoin_people]

The batting performance of the England team against Pakistan was really good, I think their batting performance should always be praised. Harry Brook scored 317 runs he batted brilliantly with great patience and Joe Root also played an interesting batting he scored 262 runs both batsmen played their best.
Anyway Pakistan lost 6 wickets today to fill the lead of England although they did not start the batting as well as in the first innings due to which their game was not so good today. Pakistan still needs a lot of runs to close the lead given by England, they are 115 runs behind, in which case I think the first test match probably points in England's direction.

At the end of day three, England were batting on 492 meanwhile you can say they were batting around 500 runs but today in some overs, they made 200 more runs which is too high. The extremely good score made by England player Joe Root as he scored 262 in a single innings. He deserve to be the player of the game and when we look at the result only then always his score always attracts us. Not only him, but every single player also performed incredibly, Ben Duckett was close to his century and playing like one day games or T20 because there were back to back sixes hit by him. By the way, Harry Brook played even better than Joe Root as Brook made 317.

[Sithara007]

What is going on with Babar Azam? He made a total of 35 runs in this test match. And before this, he last played against Bangladesh, where he made 64 runs from 4 innings. And he was expected to make a comeback. The pitch at Multan was hardly offering any assistance to the bowlers. And yet, Chris Woakes got him out cheaply in the first innings and Gus Atkinson nabbed him in the second. His poor form has put a lot of pressure on the other batsmen such as Mohammad Rizwan and Shan Masood.

It's really disappointed moments for Pakistani cricket team fan because they expect some good results for them but they continuously disappointing them from recent matches and going against thier expectations. I am still in shock how can they be so creepy at the same time they scored huge on same track at first inning while england does extra ordinary too but at third innings Pakistan followed his typical collapse and now they were unable to even hold his wicket to divert results from defeat to draw because if they bat long as much as possible and just filled the lead then it will be called announced draw but they lose important six wicket and now I am sure they will even able to survive till end of day 5 which indicates thier clear cut defeat which isn't acceptable.

The England team has made many records while playing on fourth day England batsmans played a long partnership of 454 runs which is the biggest partnership of their team in England test history. England lost three wickets for 249 runs then after that Harry brook and Joe Root played a partnership of 454 runs and put a mountain of pressure on the Pakistan team Joe Root played an innings of 262 runs while Harry Brook scored a triple century and set his highest record in tests. Pakistan bowlers could not take the all wickets then England declared their team and they scored 823 runs in first innings After building a mountain of runs in first innings England team dropped six wickets for the Pakistan team on just 152 England bowlers required four wickets tomorrow to win this match as soon as possible

Look where Pakistan scored 556 runs in the first innings despite being all out for a huge score and we all assumed this match would be a 100% draw but how the match went out of Pakistan's reach was beyond comprehension. After England declared for 823 runs, if Pakistan could have fought in a good defensive mood, there might have been a chance of a draw but Pakistan lost 6 wickets for just 152 runs in their second innings, meaning the next four batsmen could not take this match to a draw, i.e. three sessions on a fifth day Pakistan's next batsmen will not be able to overcome. As a supporter of Pakistan, I cannot accept that England will win this match even after scoring such a big score.

[Haunebu]

Root and Brook were absolutely insane together. It looked like they would help their team score 1000 runs at one stage which is bonkers if you think about it. All of their hardwork would be pointless though if the match ended in a draw.

Pakistan desperately needs a complete reset in literally every format in my honest opinion.

Pakistan team batted well in the first innings but they did not do well in bowling against England. England was able to declare 823 runs in the first innings because of Pakistan team's poor bowling. I never imagined that England batsmen can bat so well. England team players have been able to perform much better than expected. The batsmen of the England team batting with a cool head and patience is certainly admirable.

I also said about this thing before in this thread on my past post that even if the Pakistan team did great performance in the first inning but the result of the first inning will depends on the 2nd inning performance of Pakistan now we are seeing that pakistanin team wasn't in good condition they are already loose their 6 wicket and they have more 115 runs to go so I think this winner will be the England team even then there is a possibility of draw.

Pakistan played a match against England where Pakistan scored 579 in 2022 but losing that match and is very likely to face the same situation now. In the condition that Pakistan is currently in, the possibility of their defeat is high. But what is surprising is how England's Root and Harry Brook managed to score such a big score. Harry Brook got the new record the first triple century in Test cricket. Not only will the England team win from this match, but they make new record in the history of Test cricket. Unfortunately the Pakistan batsmen could not do anything in the 2nd innings. Abdullah Shafique returned empty-handed and those with him could do nothing. Babar Azam who is one of the prominent players in Pakistan cricket also failed to make an impact.

Did you know this match was also a record match for the highest innings totals in tests format currently is take on the 4th rank on highest innings totals in the first rank was Sri Lanka which was against the India that score is 952/6days more over the others highest score are from also the enlgand team in the case of highest score in the test format.
Anyhow now it looks like watching Pakistan's performance because Pakistan's performance in the first innings was unexpected and I thought that maybe Pakistan will win this match so I was in a dilemma watching Pakistan's performance in the first innings.

I doubted whether Pakistan would be able to play well in the second innings. Because in the match against Bangladesh we saw that after Pakistan performed well in the first innings only because of poor performance in the second innings Pakistan team was defeated in two matches. And now in the match against England we can see a repeat of the same.

Pakistan batted well in their first innings. The team made a huge collection of 556. But the Pakistan team batted very badly in the second innings. Collected 152 runs and lost 6 wickets. And Pakistan is still behind by 115 runs. I have considerable doubt whether Pakistan will be able to score 115 runs.

So I was not convince that Pakistan can beat England in the first innings. Pakistan would have give a difficult target as much as they want but they could not stop England from score run. Because that would have require their bowlers to be strong which they are not. If England did not score so many run there would be no problem but their success is superior. But there are doubts from the Pakistan side because if the batsmen play well, the bowler do not play well. I think that Pakistan will not be able to score as much as the England batsmen have made in the first innings. There is no doubt that their batsmen and bowlers are experience players who know how to work hard and play well. Unless Pakistan bowlers play well, they will not be able to beat England.

Pakistan had little chance of beating England in first innings. Their bowlers were not strong enough to stop England from scoring. England high score showed Pakistan bowling problems. Pakistan's performance is inconsistent which is worry. When Pakistan batsmen play well their bowlers do not. And when bowlers do well batsmen struggle.
England big score in first innings puts pressure on Pakistan batsmen. They have tough job ahead. Pakistan bowling attack needs to improve to compete with England.

The match would not end in a draw as Pakistan are left with just four wickets and i don't think they can survive the 90 overs with only 4 wickets in hand.

Pakistan's team started the fifth morning and so far hasn't lose any wickets. Salman Agha batting on 55 and Aamer Jamal on 32 runs. These two batsmen have been batting since Pakistan lose their 6th wicket of Saud Shakeel on 82 runs. Since then they have added 80+ runs and are going well. However, there is no batting after this, so it is only a matter of time before one of these two get out and the game will be ended for Team Pakistan.
