[Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

[Surf's Up]

Another enthralling days play. Quite superb from England, this red ball reset doing wonders. High odds on the draw, personally if we get there without being bowled out I would bat past tea and give Pakistan last hour tomorrow. By then England should be 250+ in front, Pakistan will be absolutely exhausted and our bowlers well rested for two bites of the cherry with a newish ball tomorrow evening and following morning

With f***ing Wokes leading the attack

I think you need to check your sign ins there. I mean, that's was exactly my thinking earlier if England wanted a result.

But it's the most friendliest pitch imaginable and, I hope to be wrong, I'm not convinced that there will be enough in it to cause them trouble.

But it's Pakistan. And they often do strange things.

Go on, bring the culture wars into it.

I see you see what I did there!!

300 run stand between Root and Brook.

Read yesterday, Pakistans 556 is the highest ever first innings total we have surpassed in reply.

300 run stand between Root and Brook.

Now 367 – they're really going for it. What's the record 4th wicket partnership?

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

200 for Harry Brook

Should I assume this pitch will still be a billiard table on day 5?

 

[pasty]

Highest ever England partnership surpassed. 415

 

[Is it PotG?]

Certainly one for the purists, although 4/6 on the draw looks very generous.

Buying money?

 

[pasty]

Brook 250

He’s nearly caught up with Root despite Root being on 82 when he came to the crease.

 

[Gazwag]

700 up

Root gone. Lbw to Ayub 262
