Carse to Babar Azam, OUT

Rise up, and applaud. One of Pakistan's classic innings comes to an end. Babar top edges that and a marvellous knock comes to an end. Babar Azam walks off to a standing ovation, having walked off for 158 off 139 balls. He raises his bat to acknowledge them

Babar Azam c Malan b Carse 158 (139b 14x4 4x6) SR: 113.66

 

[Titanic]

4 wickets (2 for Mahmood and 2 for Carse) in 6 balls peg back the scoring rate... 331-9 (50 overs)

A decent chase ahead.

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

I'd be completely relaxed about chasing this down if we had anything approaching our first choice side.

As it is, God knows.

Crawley letting Salt do the heavy lifting I see...

 

[Titanic]

Stokes dropped on the fence (on 18)... again (first time on 7). Let's hope it is COSTLY!

137-3 (17.2 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Shadab gets his man... Stokes throws the kitchen sink at it, get's an under edge and good catch behind.

151-4

181 at RR6.03 required

 

[The Fits]

Ireland beat S Africa.

 

[Titanic]

Trouble ahead... five down... Simpson LBW for 3

165-5... not even halfway there... 167 from 26.3 rrequired (RR6.3)

Lots of pressure on Vince.... needs to bat through and see us home. #unlikely

No pressure we’ve won the series. However according to the Pakistani commentator they are the best ever. Maybe they’ll beat our reserves.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He’s now saying it’s not their day in the field. No chap they’re shit at fielding simple

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

Well done James Vince

Pretty sure David Lloyd completely failed to realise he'd reached his hundred until he had his helmet off and was celebrating.

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

Well done James Vince

What an idiot

 

[jakarta]

Had Vince stayed in the game was won, now back in the balance.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hmm

Nearly comedic fielding but another gone.

 

[knocky1]

Gregory caught for 77 not out according to 5 live.��

Hmm

All teams should be like Pakistan.

Brilliance, incompetence, arguments, nobody's the age they claim to be, everybody retires about 3 times.

What a side

Indeed.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well that was thoroughly entertaining.
