Pakistan vs England Commentary
7:15 AM IST That’s a wrap from the series opener then, folks! England has comprehensively asserted its dominance over the hosts and continue on their ascendancy with a 1-0 lead in this 3-Test series. The second match will be played at the same venue of Multan Cricket Ground and the bowlers would expect that there would be some assistance for them next time around. As no one would love to be toiled for over a hundred overs fielding in the heat, repeatedly. Well, jokes apart, 2nd Test begins on 15th October, Tuesday, and the first ball will be bowled at 5 am GMT. But the cricketing action continues to treat the fans across the world. There’s the Women’s T20 World Cup in full tilt. You can switch tabs and follow the matches there as well. But from here, we take your leave until the next match. Take care, ADIOS!
7:15 AM IST Coming to what has gone wrong with Pakistan in recent times? The team, fairly to say, has looked clueless to the challenges thrown at them and that's the reason they are in such a precarious position and them not being able to reap the benefits of home conditions is another area of concern. There was a lack of variability and effectiveness in plans with the ball and the team just crumbled with the bat under pressure, coupled with fielding lapses. It was just like a domino effect that hovered across the Pakistani camp. They need to find answers for all these issues and need to find them as soon as possible. They do have a talented squad and the only positives they can take from this game is the resilience displayed by the lower middle order with the bat. If only had the top order contributed, things might have been slightly different for the home side.
7:11 AM IST Ollie Pope, the winning captain, shared his thoughts after the match. He praised the bowlers for their excellent performance on Day 1, crediting the team for showing determination and putting themselves in a strong position. Pope remarked that when a team posts 550 runs, they often feel in control, but Pakistan found themselves trailing by 260 runs after coming out to bat again. He commended Harry Brook and Joe Root for their outstanding partnership, which shifted the momentum in their favor. Pope also highlighted the impact of Brydon Carse, who not only took crucial wickets but also set the field effectively, calling his debut performance 'sensational'. He also praised Jack Leach for seamlessly fitting back into the side.
7:06 AM IST Shan Masood, the captain of Pakistan is up for a chat. He says that they have spoken on the vulnerabilities of the third and fourth innings, and says that at the end of the day, it is a team game. Everything has its advantages or repercussions as a team. Mentions that when you put on a total above 550, it's important to back it up with 10 wickets. Reckons that 220 in the third innings, depending on what kind of lead you have can also be a good score. Appreciates England for picking all the 20 wickets. On the batting approach, he states that they need to find a way out of the collapse and that's the challenge a side has to go forward. Adds that it's the middle of the series and they have spoken about the squad mentality. Emphasizes that Test cricket is the ultimate format and the best teams find a way to win. Also says that scoring runs and taking wickets are the non-negotiables. In the end, he also mentions that they are hurt by the results and the nation as well as they are not getting the desired results that Pakistan cricket and the fans deserve. Concludes saying they have to get this right as a squad.
7:02 AM IST Harry Brook was awarded the Player of the Match for his exceptional batting performance, scoring a mammoth triple century at an almost run-a-ball pace. He expressed that he thoroughly enjoyed his innings, despite the intense heat, and was pleased to have built a strong partnership with Joe Root. He mentioned that their plan was to score as many runs as possible, emphasizing the importance of establishing a solid stand to reach the 300-run mark. Brook noted that staying hydrated was key in such conditions but felt that the pitch provided a good opportunity to capitalize on. He added that he hopes there are many more performances like this to come.
