It’s more surprising that they haven’t melted in the Sharjah heat.

It'll be a tad warmer than Leith (sunshine or not), that's for sure.

Seems a bit pointless, even if the fans worked. It’s probably 40 degrees there and the pitch will dry out naturally.

The pitch has more fans than their nations, test team.

Very surprised on this pitch that England have played 3 seamers and 2 front line spinners rather than the other way round

The Pakistani opening pair smashed their own record with a partnership of 15.

We only seem to win the toss when it doesn't matter if you bat or bowl first! Oh and look Pakistan lost first test brought in 7 spinners with a pitch that will spin big 3rd day!

Pakistan looking good now need a wicket! Looks a 400 wicket not a 800 wicket now

 

[BringBackSwales]

Done it again, left the room for less than a minute and we get a wicket

Hard going after those two early wickets good game plan by Stokes who for me is the best captain in test cricket at the moment

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking hell I was actually in the room for a wicket!

Great 100 by Kamran new when he came in he get a big score just because of his height so hard to get small batters out in pitches like this
