Hilarious Pakistani selection of bowlers getting smashed around here.
And another amazing pitch 
If they lose a test here will be pathetic
Absolutely amazing start!!
If it’s anything like the Pitch in March, it’s a near certainty to be a draw.

What the fuck kind of pitch is this
Ramiz Raja, team management and the PCB 
irresponsible madarchodo no bounce no swing no spin no pace, ball not even carrying properly to the keeper 
bund mei daalo historic series. Disgrace to produce these pitches two series in a row after all these years without cricket.
4 centuries in one day 
For what to see 5 days of Azhar Ali and Babar stat pad the slowest centuries since time began. No regard for the fans or the sport at large.
lakh di laanat for accelerating the death of test cricket. It’s on borrowed time while these dinosaurs are in charge.

I cannot believe that is a Rawalpindi pitch.
Pindi is meant to be the greenest bounciest wicket we have.
In the domestics it was a great pitch offering some of the most interesting games.
It proves they made this monstrosity on purpose.
What a disgrace. Somebody needs sacking
Ben Stokes 41 for 18 balls in a test match wtf
Pakistan like 200-0 now.

Seems to have done the trick
Such a brave and aggressive declaration by England there, just like the way they play. Still think they declared a bit too early. Probably needed about 50 runs more on the board.

What a win by Bangladesh! Unreal comeback to grab the victory from the jaws of defeat.

This is a historic test match.
Forcing a victory on this pitch is actually mind blowing, the risks taken to make that happen were massive.

The difference in mentality and intent showcased in its clearest form.
England chased the W all game and not once sat back in fear of losing. Part of why they did this is because they actually care about the survival of this format. The fans and the cricket world can only respect that. And the hope now is this England team can inspire all the test playing nations to stop being pussies and always fight to win. Not enough teams and players had the balls to go all out like this, someone now has and its up to everybody else to step up to the same standard or fall behind.
Cowards like the Pakistan captain Babar Azam, as well as their chairman Ramiz Raja and the team management (Saqlain, Yousuf etc) deserve every ounce of this humiliation. They curated this woeful pitch despite their attempts to deny it and they’ve been exposed. They did the same against Australia and wound up losing there too. It’s extremely embarassing and impossible to get behind this level of cowardice. This mindset is part of the reason people don’t want to watch test cricket and why it’s approaching life support status.
20 overs to go in the final session, chasing 83 more runs with 5 wickets in hand and two set batsmen at the crease. England 100% would have tried to chase the victory in that situation - and it’s logical because trying to block out is very likely to result in losing anyway. Pakistan decide to do the opposite so instead of losing with dignity they end up embarassingly short with no respectability on their efforts. When a team loses without even fighting to try and win, there’s no way as a fan or neutral you can get behind that. It’s weak and limp.
All the respect has to go to England here. They’re the only reason the match had any life. They’re flying the flag for test cricket at the moment.

Disgraceful stuff from Pakistan tbh.
To lose games on pitches like this.
And the converse England, to win a game on a pitch designed for a draw.
Babar Azam should only be ODI captain really. This smalldicking era needs to stop
Yep can’t deny that’s a fully deserved win for England, to force a result on that deck is a monumental achievement.

Test cricket is well and truly alive
