Yeah his downfall as a batsman has been terrible to watch. I could probably bowl him out at the moment.

What the hell is this overrate ?
Thanks for sharing that, great video such a skillful bowler.
I loved the angles of him bowling from behind, you can follow the swing.. and because he's much slower, it is easier to pick up as a skill.
Geoff Boycott is right when he says they should face run & even cash penalties. Customers pay good money to see them, whether it be on TV or in the flesh, and for them to not get through the overs is pretty insulting.
Hope Moeen takes a single off the last ball of each of the next 10 overs.
They should have bowled more short balls against Moeen never looks comfortable facing them.
Decent recovery. Bit of a blown opportunity to get us out for 200 for Pakistan with the Moeen drops.
The Bairstow no-ball dismissal was criminal too.
Well done, Moen!
Unforgivable really, if those two got out at that point don't think England would have got to 200.
Moeen just got his 100 well played, made Pakistan pay.
Brilliant century, what a way to get there
Ugh looks like England have put on at least 80 runs more than they should have, probably more considering the amount of chances we've given away
Well done Moeen, much deserved century.. he deserves to bat higher up the innings.
He's in the perfect place. He's selfless, and can bat well to the situation.
True, just seems a shame he can't prolong his innings when well set as the tail goes or a declaration is made.
Admittedly I've only just tuned in to the live coverage (followed on Cricinfo at work) but why don't teams just bowl full & straight to the number 11? England didn't do it last game & Amir is bowling short. Ffs keep it simples lads!
Not sure what to make of this. From 110-5 I'd definitely have taken 320 but the pitch looks a good one. Not sure we've got par here.
Someone needs to tell Amir that Anderson isn't 9ft tall.
Oh shit they caught it!
Big 11 overs now. Need to survive. Doubt we will

We're not par but the thing about batting 1st is the other side needs to score at least 100+ more runs (and that wasn't enough at Old Trafford) to have a strong chance of winning.
Surprise surprise Moeen out to a short ball.
Pakistan batting has been so poor will be surprised if they get a sizeable lead.

Don't we go off in about quarter of an hour?
Looks pretty flat, can Pakistan take advantage?
At the official close of play how many overs were Pakistan behind? About twenty?
3 overs. My bad. Thought they said 11 left.
There should be 11 left and we should have finished 20 minutes ago. It's just that even with the extra half an hour we won't get close to what should have been bowled.
Still had 14 overs to go before the end of the day. I imagine they would have done at least 5 if England carried on.
Yeah but that's with the extra half an hour to make up overs. They should be bowling 90 before 6 o clock and I think they were at about 72 maybe?
Can't remember the last time we got a full quota of overs let alone getting the full quota before 6.
What would everyones combined XI be from both sides at this moment in time..
Jeez Sami out already?
fecks sake
What a start
Sami for Hales, Shah for Vince, Ali upto 6, Bairstow at 5.
Actually, Stoke in for Finn, Ali at 7, Stokes at 6, Bairstow at 5. That's some serious middle order oomph.
Edit: Forgot about Ballance
Cook
Sami
Root
Ballance
Bairstow
Stokes
Ali
Shah
Woakes
Broad
Anderson
What was the point of the nightwatchman? To face one ball?
I never get the purpose of a nightwatchman
England's day when it should've been Pakistan's.
Over rate is shit.
