[Cricket] England v Pakistan, 1st Investec Test at Lord's, Jul 14-18, 2016

[Titanic]

Looked to me like the bowler dislodged the bails with his arm, not the hands holding the ball.

1. Wicket put down

(a) The wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground,
...
(v) by a fielder with his hand or arm, providing that the ball is held in the hand or hands so used, or in the hand of the arm so used.

Pakistan 2-1, lead by 69

England really need a wicket (or two) before lunch, or this is going to go away from us rapidly this afternoon.... Cook turns to Finn...

 

[Titanic]

Pakistan 34-1, leading by 101 with 15 minutes to go to lunch... time to do a wicket!

 

[Titanic]

Moeen Ali gets an over or two before lunch.. his contribution this afternoon could be critical if there is a little rough to the left-handers?

 

[Titanic]

Big shout for catch at short leg... not given... reviewed...

 

[Titanic]

It's not out... not even close... wasted review

Lunch, Day three

Pakistan 40-1 (17 overs), leading by 107

Azhar Ali 17* Shan Masood 20*

A fantastic session for the visitors - 3 wickets for 19, and now piling the runs on to their 1st innings lead.

You may have seen posted on the other thread but I have two tickets for tomorrow that I won't be using:

Face value £60 each, total £120. Compton upper tier seats.

Will sell for less than face value, make me an offer for the pair, will give 25% to REMF.

Finally a breakthrough Younus Khan out for 25.

Think they have done us now, too many runs on the board and a leggie we can't read bowling on a 4th day wicket....

Even if we clean up the tail immediately today, chasing C280 on wearing wicket will be very hard. I can see some irregular bounce from the quickies and the leggie being very tricky to play at the other end.

I say it again Bring Back Trescothick to give us a solid base to work from for this series and forget about him touring.

I say it again Bring Left Back Trescothick to give us a solid base to work from for this series and forget about him touring.

36-2 The Rat bags a early bird double , good game to win from here

 

[BensGrandad]

I was proved correct about the left back situation and will be about bringing back some experience to open and give us a firm base
