Pakistan v England 3rd Test, Sharjah, Nov 1-5

[Aidan11]

Cook, Bell & Root.

A huge burden on their shoulders. Can they deliver?

[budgetmeansbudget]

As soon as we start blocking we lose a wicket

Can't afford to lose another tonight

You'll be lucky to get 2 an over out of Cook and Bell.

If we somehow get close no doubt the lower order will need to bat aggressively on a slow wearing pitch and collapse

[Aidan11]

1 failed review each already.

[dan08]

Bell can't even last an over.

[Aidan11]

OH CRAP!!!!

[hopeforthebest]

Well there goes Bell, out from the retired test player.

[Aidan11]

Unless this pair have a double-century partnership in them, I think we can safely say this is 2-0.

[backfootpunch]

I knew this would happen

All those missed chances this morning are going to cost us

[backfootpunch]

Looked out

Will umpires call save him

Yes it will

[Aidan11]

Both Pakistan reviews used up.

That's quite positive from you Aidan!

England supporters must have some confidence in this long batting line up.

Now is the time for those batting all rounders to show their worth.

[Arthur Crabtree]

No Stokesy, of course.

Well done to James Anderson for a very good series, and the Pakistan top six, who have been tremendous, and a single innings apart, one of them has played a key innings every time.

If these two last until lunch....!
