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.



Totally agreed as for the current conditions here, I am damn sure the match is the favor of a draw maybe if Pakistan plays well can win the match but the picture is not ended yet, Let's see. Defending that total on this pitch is not easy as Watche said. Day 5 played an important role and its till ongoing.
Niether yours nor mine prediction went well. As usual Pakistan lost a match which they could have won easily or could have drawn it. On thier homeground getting defeated royally is a big shame for the Pakistani side. The gamble that the English side took went well for them. Good comeback by the England team.
I already mention this many times here on this thread about Pakistani management tactics and their approach for the home series they have never been on right path which give them better results most of the time they play with negative mindset and pay for this as well same happening in this series and their mostly test playing players are also not good in technique which is another problem for them, but hopefully they will try to learn from these mistakes and try to fight back in this series even I have feeling they will not recover because now they are under pressure and surely will do more mistakes which will bring them down and their chances for the WTC final is also going to be ended losing eight wickets on flat pitch is surely never been expected from any top class team, but Pakistan can do things like these.
