This could be all over today.

Cook gone for just one run.

Looking very possible

110 - 5

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Should just scrap the whole team and start fresh. Useless from top to bottom.

 

[Gray]

This England side is shocking, not one batsman with any application.

Joe Root not astute enough to be a captain, it will be a long hard summer for this shower.

 

[blueinsa]

Useless.

 

[andyhinch]

Useless.

Can you expand ? I'm in a beer garden gave up at 4 down

this england team and the ECB need shooting and any money from tickets sales should be given back we just don't like a fight or show any desire to bat or bowl in the right way and this test match the pakistan batters and bowlers have shown the way play at lords and pitch it up on a full length when bowling giving it time to swing and bothways with reverse then bat outside the crease cutting down the swing and getting to the ball quicker

england are just like bunch of school boys sorry to schools cricket i know your better than this england team hahahaha its defo going to be a long hot summer ??? i wonder will the ECB change anything other than the opening batting partner for cook in all summer test ??? and i had to laugh at the ECB with picking Ed Smith head of selectors a guy who only played 3 test matches and his known more for his work on the bbc radio (Test Match Special commentator) hahahahahah

[Wretched Vengeance]

Bess and Buttler showing a little bit of fight and common sense when it comes to their wicket.

Won't stop a big defeat though.

England lead by 3 :0

 

[Gabriel]

A lead of 56 going into day 4. Weather could be a factor tomorrow, but Pakistan should still win it from here.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

Anything above 130 would be challenging.Might not be for many other teams but with pakistan you never know.

 

[waspish]

Rains all day tomorrow only have to bat till tea on Monday.

 

[andyhinch]

Rains all day tomorrow only have to bat till tea on Monday.

We seemed to improve after I went to the pub, being a patriot I might have to do it gain't, might have to get a morning session in to make sure.

It will depend upon who the Pakistan players have backed?

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Have to say since Root been captain the performances have gone more downhill for me he ain’t good enough ecb should get rid as captain after this Pakistan series or it’s going to get worse.

Why on God's earth did he decide to bat first.

 

[cleavers]

Pathetic effort from England this morning, 4 wickets in 27 minutes, was it 7 runs added ?

 

[Gabriel]

Don’t quite know which was worse beforehand: the media’s complete overestimation of this English team’s ability, or the complete underestimation of this Pakistan team’s ability. After last summer and the long winter, the former is inexcusable, the latter I suppose is just par for the course. After all, New Zealand were supposedly going to give England a shot at redemption!

 

[andyhinch]

The fight backs on ;-)

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Talkragshite were going on about some big breaking news at 11.00 about betting patterns & suggested England involvement, I take it that was just a load of bollocks from them as usual.
