One sweep to many

 

[waspish]

That’s a close one!? Always the way in these countries you get a big partnerships then a few wickets go down! We need to concentrate!

Collapse is on

 

[waspish]

Crawley is shit

 

[BringBackSwales]

That’s more like it, be all out for 300

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did Root not get the email? 16 off 22 balls ffs

 

[waspish]

Not seen much of Pakistan do they have descent batters who can get big runs? Or if England get 500+ here England should win?

They have Babar Azam, arguably the best batsman in the world right now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this series finishes 0-0.

Another Sweep shot wicket

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Almost 300 up and we’re only just halfway through the day. This is test cricket I’m watching, right?

It’s the New England playing test match cricket like a one dayer

 

[MillionMilesAway]

it seems a bit crazy having just seen the scorecard.
Is the England line-up a bit light on bowlers? Unless the spinners settle, it could be hard work

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Didn’t think I’d ever see Livingstone play test cricket.

 

[M18CTID]

Shit. Pakistan have just bowled a maiden and the run rate is now on the verge of dipping to under 6 an over. Get a grip England FFS!

 

[waspish]

Gower must be freelancing working for Pakistan now

 

[andyhinch]

332-3 at tea

Remember him seeming very hurt on his last day with Sky. I think he had a fair point.

 

[Claytop]

Over 400 in 65 overs.

Pope now got his ton.

 

[waspish]

We will see how good a pitch it is when we bowl but it looks like one the flattest pitches you will see..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Over 400 in 65 overs.

Pope now got his ton.

I think the highest ever on day 1 of any test match was 494, should piss that
