[Cricket] Pakistan-England Test Series

[Seagull on the Hill]

Root gone for 73, 270 runs lead, Stokes gone as well. Daft shot.

I love Stokes but he can be too reckless.
He has probably just let Pakistan back into this match.

 

[JJ McClure]

Jacks gone for 24 off 13, looking for a 3rd six in a row.

Brook playing for tea

 

[Beach Hut]

264/7 at tea, lead of 342 to tempt the opposition

Ballsy declaration

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

England have declared, a bit too soon in my opinion.
I would have liked another 30-40 runs

I agree. It’s doable with a good final session and steady batting on Day 5. But, it’s also winnable for us on a last day spinners’ wicket.

So, good declaration and I’m hedging my bets!

 

[Titanic]

One down

Might become a spinners wicket by day 10!

Ballsy as hell that declaration, I think they'll get them. But this is the Stokes brand and not going to complain

 

[Titanic]

Babar gone

Good catch by Ollie Pope with the gloves.

Boring old test cricket…….

 

[pasty]

Been keeping an eye on the score for the last 3 days and not bothered watching a boring batfest, but actually worth watching now. Good declaration

It made me nervous. Very brave. But it is the way they do things. Pakistan are allowed back into the game then there might be a positive result. Other than that it would have been pretty much a guaranteed draw. And England don't do those these days.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

So far, so good.
Hopefully, I will be eating a large slice of humble pie tomorrow

 

[A1X]

Every time I think to myself “Well this time they’ve gone too far, no way they can win this one” some nonsense like this happens

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Test cricket is the best - no question at all. I am so glad they are back in Pakistan. I was there during the last tour on an education programme and visited Pindi and Multan. I have a pic with a colleague along with Straussy and a young Liam Plunkett. The Pakistan fans were fantastic and really friendly. I’m also glad Sky have the TV coverage and 5live sports extra has the radio - SO much better than BT and Talksport. Ian Ward, Kumar Sangakarra and Mark Butcher give great analysis and Aggers and co. are always good value - great stuff all round imo

I'd like to know more about the terms of this guarantee, and how I can make a claim

 

[The Wizard]

Need front line spinner leach to stand up and be counted here.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Terrific positive declaration. The draw was heavy odds on a few hours ago. Draw now 5/1 with England narrow favourites. I

If we win or if Pakistan win with a 2 or 3 wickets sometime around tea, great stuff.


Edit Pakistan now narrow favourites ... It's that close. Looking forward to tomorrow.
