Twitter Reactions: Taylor-Buttler stand helps England chase victory comfortably

Twitter Reactions: Taylor-Buttler stand helps England chase victory comfortably: It was a very disappointing day for Pakistan today at Sharjah. Pakistan suffered a terrible batting collapse which resulted in their failure today. Pakistan were 132/3 until the 30th over but slid to 161/8 later on. A 280+ score, or even bigger score was highly predicted by everyone as the pitch had no seam, swing or spin in it initially when the men in green were batting.

However, the batsmen, with their lackluster batting performance, yet again failed Pakistan. They lost a bunch of wickets (including 3 run outs) during the middle overs and were eventually bowled out for an under-par score of 207 in 49.5 overs with the help of Wahab Riaz’s vital 33 runs knock. Chris Woakes 4/40 was the top performer with the ball for England.

The pitch had changed its behaviors drastically  and had begun to turn largely. England, in reply, were struggling during the chase. But James Taylor and Jos Buttler took charge of the situation and took England past the target with 9 overs remaining and 4 wickets in hand. Together they shared a match-winning 117 runs partnership for the 5th wicket. England, with a series scoreline of 2-1, are now ahead of Pakistan in the series.

Okay…so Finally hm har gaye!!! #PakvsEng

Great work from Buttler and Taylor, putting on 117 for the 5th wicket to see England go 2-1 up in the series #PakvEng

Azhar Ali has been endorsing all experiments in the team but must understand failure would result in loss of captaincy #PAKvENG #AzharAli

There really is nothing in cricket quite like Pakistan getting their confidence up defending a low ODI score. Thrilling viewing. #PakvEng

Should be an interesting finish at Sharjah!#PAKvENG #spinspinspin

Solid start, run outs, collapses, crazy lower order runs, mental reviews. This is the most Pakistani Pakistan innings ever. #PakvEng

For some the Pakistan batting collapses and it's suspicious. But when other teams collapse it's just part of the game #Cricket #PakvEng"

Crowd beginning to head for the exits. A total disaster today, not forgetting the previous odi. Making the same mistakes again.#PAKvENG
