Cricket: International Discussion Thread

And Shah is on a roll now. Big first innings lead possible.
 
219 all out and England trail by 107. Bowl well and they still have a chance.
 
Only twice have Pakistan lost to England after conceding a 100+ first innings lead
331 at the Oval 2006 (forfeit)
103 at Edgbaston 2016 (by 141 runs)

Forfeit = the match when Hair insinuated that Pakistan had tampered with the ball. Pakistan didn't take to the field and when they did, Hair wouldn't.

England beat Pakistan, England awarded the match (opposition refused to play)

ENG 173 & 298/4 vs PAK 504 - England awarded the match (opposition refused to play) in London, Pakistan tour of England and Scotland 2006, August 17 - 21, 2006

Ball tampering accusations.
 
Day 3: Stumps - Pakistan lead by 244 runs

PAK 137/8

Going to be an interesting day tomorrow :X3:
 
PAK 169 all out

Day 4: Innings Break - Pakistan lead by 276 runs

England can get this, but it won't be a walk in the park.

Not going to happen. If there's one thing the last century of test matches has taught us it is that chasing in excess of 250 in the 4th innings hardly ever happens.
 
It will take a miracle from here for Pakistan to win. I just do not see it. The match was gifted in their second innings collapse.
 
Ooh, they've just got Stokes. It’s getting spicy!
 
Why did I promise my gf we'd go out for dinner tonight?

Nah. 4th innings chases over 250 are very hard. The chasing team normally has a good partnership or two along the way but hardly ever gets over the line.
 
The odds swing back to England - top match.

Glad to see Buttler pull it together. This innings will do him some good.
