You sound tired, Cutsy.
Go have a nap.

A bit surprised that they batted with it being so humid and the ball as you would imagine is swinging around.

Broad bowling brilliantly.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 11:55 am

With you there, Ty.
When I'd seen they'd gone out to bat, had me looking at the weather forecast again!

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 11:58 am

Strange both captains that have won the toss have chosen to bat in overcast conditions,of course England haven't batted yet so we'll see how they cope if conditions remain the same.

62/4. Woakes

I've always assumed that it's almost a given that you bat 1st unless the conditions are extreme. I'd be interested to see the stats.

Not convinced by Curran from what I’ve seen so far.

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:51 pm

Five down. Cracker from jimmy. Absolutely cleaned him up.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:51 pm

78/5 the Burnley Express.

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:53 pm

I reckon Sarfraz is regretting winning the toss. I’d imagine England would be in similar bother had we batted.

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:57 pm

Six down. LBW. Broad didn’t even bother appealing. Just ran off celebrating

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:57 pm

78/6 Broad after review for lbw

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 1:58 pm

England might still get a bat today with wickets tumbling. Woakes again justifying his selection.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:02 pm

Catch dropped on slips
Broad not happy

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:02 pm

Mallan just dropped catch off Broad in slips, would have been double wicket maiden.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:03 pm

Amnother for Jimmy

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:03 pm

79/7 the Burnley Lara

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:03 pm

Can't see this lasting 5 days.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:04 pm

Root at fault for Malan drop
Dived in front of him

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:05 pm

Botham has been saying all game that slips are too close to each other

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 2:08 pm

Nasser doing a third man, saying slips too close to each other

Jiminy Wickets.

Why would Pakistan bat first ,seems dodgy to me .

Cant see this lasting 5 sessions the way England have been batting.

113/8 Jimmy again

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 3:08 pm

156/9 Woakes

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 3:28 pm

174 all out,first test wicket for new lad Curran. The away team threw the bad in the last half hour and hit a few boundaries.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 3:47 pm

Could still be a competitive total,not a bad effort from 80-7,now let's see what England's batsman are made of.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:03 pm

14-0 from 3 overs

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:50 pm

Whisper this. . .
England 50 for no wicket.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:51 pm

All is well once again with English cricket...

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:59 pm

It's looking like an Indian Summer.Jennings is impressing so far.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 5:08 pm

And then, he's gone.

50/1

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 5:12 pm

Got a good ball though,no disgrace he played well and did the job an opener should do in seeing off the new ball.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 5:26 pm

Yes.
It wasn't a bad delivery.
They've sent some good ones down throughout.

Still disappointing though.
They way our batsmen have been recently, would have been good for both openers to post big scores.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 6:19 pm

102/1
Cook 45
Root 26

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 6:23 pm

Damn.
Cook gone for 46
104/2

CleggHall · Post by **CleggHall** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 6:57 pm

A much better performance by England, credit where it's due.
Bowlers and batters both performed but batsmen have still work to do tomorrow

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jun 01, 2018 11:22 pm

Shame about Cook falling late on,but a much better day for England even if they were assisted by Pakistan choosing to bat first,the morning session tomorrow is vital,the ball is nearly 40 overs old but if Pakistan can get reverse swing as happened at Lords,and pick up Root early then it could still be game on,England ideally need a lead of 100+ as chasing anything around 150 in the fourth innings could be tricky.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 4:55 pm

199/3 at tea after the earlier delay productive day for England,should have a healthy lead by stumps,can we just play Bess as a specialist batsman.

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:17 pm

264-6

ablueclaret · Post by **ablueclaret** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:22 pm

Really strange Pakistan did not insert England when they’d had them on the ropes last test.
A complete failure of psychological understanding and they are paying dearly.

CleggHall · Post by **CleggHall** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:25 pm

A decent effort by England's batsmen but so far no-one has managed to get a fifty let alone a ton. They all get in then get out!

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sat Jun 02, 2018 7:23 pm

302-7 at close- a good day for England
