Durham-Mackem41
Midfield
Terrible cricket this poor bowling and just as poor captaincy gaps allover for easy singles.
We can’t play 3 spinners as not good enough should of dropped Pope and had another seamer.

Absolutely pathetic this.
Watch our lot fold like a pack of cards when it’s our turn to bat.

I predict over 4.5 of our batsmen slog the ball straight up in the air and get caught in the ring.

Fair play for letting another team off the hook, 177/7 to 265/7.
Happens way too often.

The plans have been guff, but they’ve batted well.
Who would have guessed you don’t need to slog it all the time? Saud had something like 65 singles in his first 95 runs

I can’t think of anything more guaranteed than us being something like 80/6 after watching their tail make batting look comfortable.

Thought they'd get a lead. Hopefully nothing more than 20-30.
You'd say they are now. Weren't an hour ago as batting last.
He's there lad

After having been 50/1 . .
Credit to the batsmen imo. They played the situation very well.

It's turning into another football match thread again. Any acknowledgement of the opposition rather than just England are crap, playing poorly etc?
Got pointed out earlier. Pakistan batsman is trapped lbw back on the crease. Get in. Great bowling. Happens to an English batsman. Shite batting.

Need to play straight, get forward, bat time and tick over to tire out their two main spinners.
Dare i say it, the pitch has not seemed that bad today, definitely seems harder to bat in the first 30 overs of the innings
Regardless, we need a Root 100 to hold the innings together

So 31 lead. Firm favourites. 15 lead you back us? As its a low scorer every run counts but in that example 16 runs pushes your take on it to both extremes.

I'd put them just ahead, but that's because I fancy them to a lead of around 40 or so.
