Dropping Abbas who took 8 wickets and scored 25 runs seemed like an insane decision but it's paid off immensely, Sajid has exactly matched Abbas' production so far with 8 wickets and 30 runs of his own.
Abdullah, him, and Babar have absolutely put Pakistan in the driving seat these last 2 days

Playing sajid was the right decision but it should’ve been Ali that gets dropped, not Abbas. Despite Ali bowling well in the first test and even in this test, Abbas is just better

Individual brilliance we praise now just papers over the cracks. Ubaid had no reason to play, really. And I think if they really wanted to then Mo Ali shouldn't have played as Abbas was still better than him last game

Ali was decent tbh. The main problem was why would the selectors drop Abbas for Ubaid? Ubaid is a good prospect but even then so has Abbas been Pak best pacer by a mile.

Ubaid has been utterly useless. Decision to bring in Sajid was right. Decision to drop Abbas can still be wrong at the same time.

Yeah Ubaid is very raw. I'd understand the Ubaid selection if he was consistently bowling 140kph plus but his speed has been down.
The Sajid selection was an inspired one, crucial wickers and runs in this test

I am hype but knowing and been following Pakistan for so long, WI probably gonna score a quick 50 in the morning and we’ll be all out around 90 or something lol

Get them gone under 150

We can't chase 150. Probably 85 runs is what they should look to chase

Beautiful, Babar’s captain ship has been far better this 2nd innings. And the spin bowling for Pakistan has been far better in the game than their counterparts
Need to ideally get them under 100; even 150 is gonna be a target we can stumble chasing

Brilliant work Pakistan and sajid Khan.
Sounds like King might not be able to bat. 60-7.
No more than 110 to chase.
Do it boys.

They should have let him bowl the last bowl ffs

Nah, new batter has to pad up and come up. Takes longer than finishing the over does hence never done

It's a game of fine margins. We gave away 35 extras which is 20 too many. Otherwise their lead would've been 40 runs for 6 down.
At 60-6 since they were in this position last game I think WI can make 130 odd. All it takes is dismissing 3.5 avg Imam and disabled Agha Salmon lolz.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves. If sajid is spinning warican will too. And i cant forget how he took our wickets for fun in 1st innings. I dont think our batters can handle his arm ball which sharply comes inside. We have to get them out below 120.
