Noman Ali became the first Pakistan spinner to take a hat-trick in a test match.

The game is evenly poised with WI going into their second innings with a 9 run lead.

Buttler vs India again.

I just can’t force myself to listen to Indian commentators it’s the most one eyed shite going. So Paarl v Pretoria it is, Joe Root the lad who can’t play 20/20 is current leading run scorer in the competition.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time in Paarl and that ground has some stunning views.

How Joe Root doesn’t get in the T20 side beggars belief.

Ave just shy of 70 with a strike rate of over 140 and popping up with a wicket or two as well. I actually like SA 20 comp.

It’s not too bad. The repetitive theme music annoys me though.

Englands fucking batting! As had been said why is Joe Root deemed not worthy?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Thank fuck we’ve got the super consistent Liam Livingston in

Does anyone tell the Indian commentators that there are English viewers who are watching and listening? The BT model for cricket coverage (just get it piped in from overseas with no in-country presence) is fucking garbage

The standard of commentary is declining across the board. They’re getting more and more sensationalist.

The usage of the word maximum should be banned in cricket.

Danny Morrison is the guy I really can’t listen to. So annoying.

There's some very accurate hitting go on. Straight at the men in the field!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Shambles. 5-0 on the cards.

Was that before or after the 8th wicket?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Thick cunts. Carse going at 2 runs a ball so surely sacrifice Archer in the run out. We are shit at this

At

 

[MillionMilesAway]

The two options were either run - Archer would have been in comfortably, by the look of things - or settle for 1. 20 odd balls to go for Carse to hit.

Stop/go/stop/go/go?/yes, go stop...

That Wood over cost us

 

[Vienna_70]

I see Essex, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Warwickshire and Yorkshire are off to Abu Dhabi for pre-season.

The dirty, oil money grabbing bastards!

Come on Hobart get this done if only to piss on Warners parade

Phil Salt ups his average to 3 for the series.
