Good fight by the tail, poor show by the batsmen. Congratulations to Pakistan on a thoroughly deserved series win, 3-1 with one more to play on Wednesday.

Yes not Anderson or Blackwells fault, the fault is with Englands poor batting that has been propped up by our pacemen for a while.
congrats to Pakistan who are the better team mainly in the batting which must be close to the best batting line up in the world.

England shuld learn from its mistakes..... they almost pulled it off..... their batsman shuld have been more selective wih their shot making.... Kabir Ali shuld be promoted up the order the way he batted.... he played like a proper batsman....

Ern, I wasn't having a go at Jimmy; I thought he batted okay, fine he missed like every single ball practially that wasn't in line with the stumps. The top order need to learn to just stick around, it seems to me that we just keep making the same comments after every single game, the batting is the weakness and I'm sure it will remain to be so for a while yet.

Bowling performance was great, cant fault that, however the top order is just melting away! We cant leave it to tailenders almost getting us out of sticky situations. Plunkett needed to score a 50 couple games back to get us a decent score and now we needed something like 100 runs with 8 wickets down. The top order needs to be sorted, they each need to know there roles. For me Collingwood should of been the man to stick around, he can nudge ones and twos, however he got himself out to a poor shot.

I'd blame the top order, not the tailenders, who were fine. I seriously can't believe we didn't chase down 211. Pathetic.

another defeat, batsman dont perform this time.

i think pakistan really improved their bowling since the first ODI, every england batsman their was contributing, now they struggle to even get in double-figures! surely england can only go better from this in india!

Is this Pakistan's coming out series under Bob Woolmer?
