The title says it all...
Ahh, thank you so much for opening this thread. I so not wanted to open one myself.
Pakistan has to play the top quality cricket. Today Bengladeshi win showed how important it is for top order to score. And then ofcourse bowlers to backup.
I dont think Pakistani XI is as terrible as they are performing. They can do it, not sure why they arent. Pakistan does need Malik. And considering aweful bowling they need 7 bowlers to take turns. And they have to be used very wisely. Amir, wahab and Hassan should be the remain 3 pacers. No more testing with husnain or afridi right now.
I have a feeling tht Sarfraz is not given free hand to choose his team. Inzi seems to be making decisions. Why else he would be in england when he got no business being there?
Grant Flower and Azhar Mahmood and Micky need to be out.
Pakistan is missing youth seriously in batting. We need Abid Ali, Sami Aslam, Asif Ali types instead of Hafeez or Shoaib.
And missing Rumman Raees whose much better than Wahab or Hasan Ali.
The boys look very UNFIT. Seems eating too much biryani and fats and not enough workouts to stay fit and sharp.
Never say never. Just say never now.
Inzi is absolutely responsible for this mess. There was a media report about this too on some local channel of Pakistan but there has been no confirmation.
Apparently Inzi is deciding the playing 11 behind the scenes. I would drop Imam and get Babar to open the innings. Draft Asif Ali into the playing 11. Also, Malik should replace Imad. Imad Wasim is out of shape and will be useless with his dart machine type of bowling on a flat pitch.
Very important match for team PK. Lets hope they do some magic. In the series they have shown that they can score 300 + . Openers need to score . Today it is important to see how they manage short balls. If they manage initial burst with counter strike.English bowlers will get under pressure. Why not open with hassan ali or imad waseem. for few cross hits. .
Pak is to bat again. I'm still up to see their inning despite being awake whole night long. Make it worth Pakistanion.
Pak first over 9 runs, 2nd over 5 runs. Third over played maiden by Imam. 
so far a mix of luck and some sense . Archer I beleive is a bit unlucky. predicted score is 361.
Pk without imad wasim. So the 5th bowler will be hafeez and malik. Wahab ke 10 overs con kraayee ga....
First 10 overs went in favour of Pakistan but then things slowed down with the arrival of spinners. Both openers are tulla players, have not seen them guiding the ball through the gap between the two fielders. They got runs by taking risk and this kind of batting can work in 1 out of 5 matches only. We need solid proper batsmen like dhawan and rohit sharma who play in the gap and earn runs without taking risk.
Hafeez got a chance . PK can score 330 if keep doing the good work
Moen ali showing how important he is for this English team's balance. 3-50 in 10 . great under the circumstances..
Sarfaraz is wasting deliveries at a time when Pakistan have wickets in hands and 3rd power play is in progress.... pathetic batting!
At the end we reached to wat we can reach. Asif Ali got out quickly else there wud have been more runs. But that doesn't matter. If our bowling cannot defend 348 sure they cannot defend 370 as well.
hafeex played very well

Overs from hafeez are very important n I m very optimistic to see good bowling from him
Yup if they can't defend 350 then GOD bless this team!
The dropped catch by Babar Azam is costing BIG. This pair is very dangerous and more dangerous ben stocks is yet to come. Wickets please, wickets.
Runs are flowing so easily. Its soooo depressing to watch :(
England never ending batting line....
5 wickets n still going strong.
Sarfraz miss a stumping of moeen Ali....
R v winning or whining!
