[chunkyshanhawk53]

That’s a shot

Pakistan must think this is well below as they are still tossing them up.

Next ball darts in

LG booming out to greet a beautiful shot.

Lovely batting this, lads. Mad what happens when batters play themselves in

 

[dangermows]

State of the fielder.

settle down smith

Definite ploy. Rizwan was saying to the bowler 'toss it up, make him play his shots, we'll get him caught on the boundary' before the over to Zahid.

Gus batted beautifully that over.

Another two thrown right up there.

Intriguing this as we have no idea what a good score is.

Yes.

I think Pakistan will do well to score 400 over the 2 innings. 250 would be an excellent score if we get there.

well maybe not

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Is it cheeky to want 300 now?

 

[Dexter]

Don't think the pitch is as bad as is being made out on here. Aye there's a bit of turn but there's only Duckett's which misbehaved. The rest apart from Root have got themselves out.

I'm still undecided. The ball is older now, the bowlers are tired, they are also tossing them up.... essentially everything different to the first couple of hours. Will see how we do with the ball in their first innings.

Nah, variation in pace by the bowlers was good. And the pitch was definitely doing a fair bit earlier on. They pulled up difficulty ratings, which I won't pretend to say I understand, and had the first session at 8.1.

I'm not even sure how good this Sajid Khan is. Most spinners would be getting wickets on these pitches.

 

[dangermows]

Wicket.

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

That is absolutely shite

Yes.

 

[Squat]

The post got me thinking. Why was Warne so poor in India and so astonishingly good in England?
