Max Rowe-BrownHOST
Unfortunately, the rest of them were so catastrophically awful it was, it, it was irrelevant.
Max Rowe-BrownHOST
Um, the continued demise of Babar Azam was, um, fairly sad.
Max Rowe-BrownHOST
I think the, the delivery to, that got him from, from Josh Tongue in the, was it the second test that was particularly, uh, hilarious.
Max Rowe-BrownHOST
Um, but it, it-
Santokie NagulendranHOST
Shaheen Afridi out, Naseem Shah out.
Santokie NagulendranHOST
Babar Azam's captain again.
Santokie NagulendranHOST
So it's no better chance to break that streak, you know.
Santokie NagulendranHOST
It's only six years out here.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
Yeah, there's always, you know, of course, grouping.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
I mean, I heard about that, you know, before the third test match, Babar wasn't happy dropping Rizwan or Imam.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
Maybe he wanted to probably give Imam a chance.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
Another chance, if he was switched, that is.
26 MINS LATER
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
I mean, you name it.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
And, you know, it was...
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
I mean, I expected better from Babar second time around.
Leena Moin-AzizGUEST
But I didn't see any spark from any of the players or the captains.
Jarrod KimberHOST
There is a reason why the keepers have come up in test cricket.
Jarrod KimberHOST
It's because of the sort of Daryl Mitchell, Joe Root, Babar Azam, guys who were batting one, two meters out of their crease, and it's because of their sort of more, I don't know, Ollie Pope kind of guys who were taking a step and a half as the ball was coming down.
Jarrod KimberHOST
We're not really seeing that as much in limited overs.
Jarrod KimberHOST
Um, we did, and then we did actually see wicketkeepers start to come up to the stumps a little bit more back in the '90s at times.
TaranHOST
But we didn't see too much from Pakistan until that final innings, you know, when Azzan Owez stepped up.
TaranHOST
Sean Massoud stepped up, Babar Azam stepped up.
TaranHOST
It did seem like Pakistan were in it to prolong this as much as possible.
TaranHOST
And then Razulullah was like the icing on the cake for them, getting them from what could have again been an innings defeat because they were still trailing.
Behram QaziHOST
But-
Jarrod KimberHOST
It's the Babar Azam thing of like, it's all well and good to say he's been found out, he's lost form, he's not as good technically as he used to be.
Jarrod KimberHOST
But how many batting coaches and coaches has he had to deal with? Who does he trust? How could he trust anyone, right?
Behram QaziHOST
Yeah.
Behram QaziHOST
Yeah.
Jarrod KimberHOST
If you look at what Joe Root and Babar Azam were doing, you know, at the start of Bazball, Joe Root was batting two meters out of his crease.
Behram QaziHOST
Mm.
Jarrod KimberHOST
And then half a meter back.
Geoff LemonHOST
I don't think they've been more obsessive about anyone aside from Rizwan.
Geoff LemonHOST
They've been pretty obsessive about Babar Azam and pretty weird with him.
Geoff LemonHOST
But I think even more with Rizwan, who has generally, generally been among the better performers, but if he ever isn't...
Geoff LemonHOST
And in, in the meantime, Imam-ul-Haq, if you don't bat with a calf strain, you're in the cell next to Imran Khan off you go.
Behram QaziHOST
It was a pretty poor showing from him after, uh, barring that last innings, also streaky and lucky.
Behram QaziHOST
And then, uh, you had Babar Azam didn't play at Headingley because of an injured finger.
Rob BarronGUEST
Yeah.
Behram QaziHOST
Rizwan injured his fingers plenty of times at Lord's.
9 MINS LATER
Behram QaziHOST
And look, there were other Pakistan batters who did well.
Behram QaziHOST
I thought Azhar Ali, love his square drives and cover drives and, and his little nudges on the on side, but his 59 was a good 59, a compact 59.
Behram QaziHOST
Babar Azam yet again misses out on that elusive 10th Test 100.
Behram QaziHOST
Hasn't scored a Test 100 in 39 innings now in nearly four years.
Aman PatelHOST
But they got some resistance.
Aman PatelHOST
Ayub would be gone first ball for a duck, but Azan Alees would score 59 off of 84, Shan Masood would get 95 off of 148, and Babar Azam would score 76 off of 103 as the captain, before Razaullah, as we just mentioned, would get 81 off of 63, with Mohammad Abbas contributing, getting 42 off of 67, to take Pakistan to 449.
Aman PatelHOST
So it meant England's target was 130 going into the second innings.
Aman PatelHOST
It was Jordan Cox and Joe Root after both openers would be gone for a duck.
