506-4 at close only 76 overs bowled

Bad light verdict seems a little stupid.

Stokes was playing 360 degree cricket and hit 14 of the last over.

It didn’t seem dangerous to him!

How tall is Crawley?

How tall is Crawley?

Wikipedia has him at 6 5, or 196cm.

So he’s probably 5 11.

Somewhere in Yorkshire Geoffrey Boycott is going mental right now.....

He's moved to Prestbury recently, saw sense and moved to this side of the Penines..

Wonder if he’ll be in that Cheshire Housewives show.

Looked about 7ft stood next to Duckett.

Always an issue in Pakistan the light fades quickly,so no chances of getting 90 overs a day in

Prestbury? Slumming it, eh?

If I won the lottery, you couldn’t pay me enough to live there. Nice place, full of c**ts.

Mad that Sangakkarra is chatting about batting a session and a half tomorrow to get us to 750!

Just seen the score (in work, so not watching). Fucking hell. What did they have for breakfast? Just checked the ICC rankings, and Pakistan are 6th. Okay, they're not up to Australia or India's standard. But they're no Netherlands or Ireland.

Yep pitch is flat but that day is history first test team ever to score over 500 on day one!

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Questions need to be asked from players who missed out on century today as this isn't a pitch, it's a road, i was looking forward to attending the game but this pitch isn't worth it

We have such negative mindsets running cricket in our country and irony is Pakistan has a decent record in England's swinging conditions but geniuses will not offer anything to bowlers in home conditions. It would be funny if England manage to score a 1000 runs which they totally can and it would be a well deserved beating too

Just noticed that Warwickshire have signed Hasan Ali as overseas pro for the first 4 months of next season, disappointed with that, was hoping he'd be back at Lancs. Maybe Lancs feel the seam bowling is strong enough with the signing of Williams, and Mahmood hopefully back to fitness. Do we think Lancs will be looking for a batsman or maybe an all rounder?

593-7 at drinks on the 2nd morning, the run rate might just force a result.

Not sure you can ever second guess the hierarchy at Lancashire……..

Quality mornings Cricket be interesting how we bowl and how Pakistan bat! Pitches like this should be banned from test cricket a total road!
