That foot/toe will become more and more aggravated with every movement.

Yep he should been dropped after the 2 nd test he is useless

Raining in Greater Manchester.

Who’d’ve thunk?

Carse? :) I'm on about Pant. But agreed about Carse. He's been very average.

Seems like they’ve just shot him full of painkillers and/or a nerve blocker. So he’ll feel Ok until it wears off this evening and his foot is fucked.

India seem good value to me at 7/4.

Close that this Pakistan umpire is bit bias for India

 

[waspish]

Stokes with five wickets pity the other two don’t bowl as consistently as him

 

[Vienna_70]

Pant deserves his half-century, coming back to bat with a broken toe.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

We needed that.

I fear India already have well above par here.

 

[Vienna_70]

Cracking ball, Jofra.

 

[waspish]

Archer should be bowling there at least 5 balls an over!

This scores worries me if Bumrah swings it (he will) like stokes we could well not make 200!!

Haven't been inside O.T. for a long time, only gone past it on the train, though I was a Lancashire member for nearly 20 years. What a mess the new (not so new, now) stadium is, especially the monstrosity towering over the Pavilion. But someone please remind me, when and why did the Lancs committee decide to move the wicket from side-on to the pavilion, and was it controversial at the time?

I know that the modern developments to the ground keep the money rolling in but to me it's not a pretty sight. I wonder if other once-attractive county grounds have suffered a similar fate, such as Worcester and Hove?

Can't remember the reason we moved the square but a lot of the redevelopment came about because we didn't get an Ashes Test in 2009 IIRC and that in itself cost us millions in revenue.

Be shocked if either of these two survive long fancy lbw to Crawley for a for a change for Bumrah

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

This could/will be a nervy opening for these two.

 

[Harlaching Sky Blue]

Just me or does anyone else think of this every time Brydon C-arse gets a mention on the radio??...wish these two were in commentary box
