Crawley looks the part but early doors in his cricket career, shocked to find out he as only scored 2 first class 100s
but is only 22 but still must have something if he can play like today

england are a nightmare team to review and its so chalk and cheese from test to test ? from good to bad in a session
and would it shock you if we come out in the morning and get bowled out for next to nothing ? something like 350 to 370 and let pakistan back in the game, when really england should have this test match in the bag and bat only onces
 
It takes about 5mins to put the covers on but frustratingly that after the rain has stopped it still takes about 30mins to get the game restarted. The umpires always seem to make such slow decisions and are also often hampered by poor rules about bad light and inability to use flood lights. Cricket doesn't help itself sometimes.
 
Now this is at last a proper test batting performance from England. We're looking at a score of 500 and beyond, with a declaration by Root, and at that point the match is beyond Pakistan. That said, it would deeply piss me off if England didn't get the chance to close out the series 2-0, simply because of the Bloody English Summer!
 
Highest 5th wicket partnership for England in test matches against all nations now; 351 runs (previously Keith Fletcher and Tony Greig against India in Mumbai in february 1973; 254 runs).
 
Shame he didn’t get 300 but he is young they’ll be opportunities in the future to get to the 300 mark.

Was brilliant innings he is a cross between Cook and Gower with his play.
