That decision might get back fired today ! I am sure they would have gone through multiple scenarios before coming up with the decision. England at the moment is struggling to contain or apply pressure on Pakistani batters. Pakistan only need 174 runs and they have only lost 3 wickets. In my opinion it is far easy now for Pakistan to win this test match than England.
The only problem with Pakistan team is that they are unpredictable. They are in very strong position to win the game but in next few overs they have the ability to give this test match to England. Giving a target of 344 on such road is not a wise move IMO. Runs are coming here quite easily and it wont be easy to defend a target of 344 here. Lets see what happens in next 2 session.
Unpredictable is something else but losing on a dead wicket shows that Pakistan has an incapable batting.
Everyone was asking why Pakistan make dead wickets in their home ground. Now we have the answer. They are unable to bat on the dead wicket, how can they bat if the wicket is green or even a little grass on it.
England really surprised the world that if the opponent is too defensive in creating dead wickets, they can still win the match.
England and Pakistan test matches are going well at the Rawalpindi stadium and the story of the dead pitch is always there
But England players are very courteous to be in Pakistan and the fans love them alot
