Pakistan are losing the plot here
There is so much time still left in the game
Although they appear to have control of the game, there is no guarantee that England w'd collapse again in the 2nd innings.
both Adnan and Shafiq threw away their wickets

Panesar to Adnan Akmal, OUT, 90.0 kph, Monty’s spitting fire with the old ball. He’s cleaned up Adnan with a classic left-arm spinner, angles in towards middle and off, dips on a length, grips and straightens past a hopeful forward prod to tickle off stump. Gone for a blob**. England will be very worried by the amount of turn on offer now.**

Pak losing wickets in a heap now
345/7
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
Rehman gone
346/7
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
but why throw away your wickets? The longer Pak bat the more the pressure on English batsmen when they come out to bat and the more the pitch will deteriorate
At one stage 400 lead looked a formality. They w’d be lucky to get a lead of 350 now

Are they? The turn might be doing them in and that is what I hope is happening because if true England are a goner.

Shafiq certainly did. Even Boyks felt the sweep was quite unnecessary
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
from cricinfo:
"I hardly think Rehman would have been too upset with that dismissal. He would have seen the turn, the puff of dust, and walked off with a smile on his face, and begin to prepare for his chance to bowl," says Gareth.

It happens, young guys, rush of blood, without his contribution in the first innings we would not have reached 50.
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
350/8
Tea taken

With 400+ lead I w'd have said no to an English victory regardless of the time left in the game ... but England w'd feel that they can win now. It is not going to be easy but anything < 350 (atleast on paper and with so much time still left in this game) is a gettable target

With the amount of turn which is now there I dont think England will even get 200.
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
Let's hope so
Pakistan lost 5 wickets for 19 runs in that crazy 30 odd minutes just before Tea

If you take out the two centuries Pak are nearly 80/7

"England must think positively - they must go out thinking they can win it. But with six left-handers and a lot of rough outside off stump, it's going to be tough for them."
Re: Pakistan vs England 3rd Test in Dubai - Feb 3-7, 2012
150 for azhar. well played.
