[Cricket] Pakistan-England Test Series

[jakarta]

Get the feeling that this is going to be a high scoring draw...

 

[Titanic]

Clatter of wickets... Root gone

Reviewing, but optimistic

286-3

 

[keaton]

My prediction yesterday was "we'll probably get 350 off 45 overs and then sit in the field for 3 days while they accumulate 600-700"
Reckon I could be right(though with a few less overs)

 

[jakarta]

300 up...

I think that the significance of a Pakistan v England series in Pakistan far outweighs the possible outcome. Hopefully it will pass off well, without incident, and cricket will be the winner.

England need to bottle the virus they had and take some for the summer!

Always a fair bet in Pakistan.
England have played 25 matches there, and drawn 18 of them. They've won 2.
Need to score quickly (as well as BIG) to have a chance of forcing a result.
Or we could just collapse again

 

[Titanic]

A bit of reverse in the 63rd over... might liven things up a touch?

 

[Titanic]

England 403-3 (64 overs, RR 6.25)

 

[Titanic]

Ollie Pope 100* (90 balls, 14 fours, SR 111.11)

 

[The Wizard]

Brook hits 6 4’s in a row off that over

WTF is this 448/3 off 68 overs

 

[Titanic]

Saud Shakeel to Harry Brook... 4 4 4 4 4 4

 

[jakarta]

Saud Shakeel, best take a blow...

 

[Eeyore]

I highly doubt there will have been an occasion when four English Test batsman hit a century on the same day. Hope Brook manages it here.

 

[Mackenzie]

Turkey shoot.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I look at the scorecard, and am less dissapointed by Root's low score than his desultory run rate.
Presumably he was told to hit out or get out to let somebody else have a go.

 

[jakarta]

4 down at 462, real trouble now...

 

[Titanic]

Harry Brook 100* (80 balls, 14 fours, 2 sixes, SR 126.25)

A fourth centurion in the innings and another 1st Test Match hundred

 

[Titanic]

England 502-4 (74.4 overs, RR 6.72)

 

[fly high]

Awesome batting, Root must be kicking himself. Stokes is just carrying it on, 30 off 13, now 502 -4
