Plenty of praise just there for Stokesy from the comms.

Absolutely.
By quick I would like to think less than 10 runs ahead but yeh.
Think Stokes and co will be happy to go into the second innings with that little deficit the way this day has been playing out.
That wicket before tea was great timing.

We won't score that many. We won't need to. Both IMO of course.
Can't see how 16 runs can make such a difference in making either side big favourites.

You had a point before that ridiculous last sentence. You tried to play the same card yesterday too before I pointed out the Root dismissal to you and the reaction to that - which was generally very measured - but you ignored.
It’s not hysterical to say that atleast 7 of our batsmen gave their wicket away.
It’s also not hysterical to question the bowling choices and field placings from England for most of today, but importantly since lunch.

f***ing umpire man.

I just dont think the pitch is as bad as the last test but weve got to be smart in shot selection. Their spinners did start to tire during the smith/Atkinson partnership.
That’s a ridiculous decision. I don’t care what DRS says, that was out. Atkinson was bowling over 80mph and banging it in and he couldn’t get it over hip height. Not a f*cking chance.
Bloody hell. It’s beautifully bowled

Agreed on the pitch behaviour. Just don't see us needing to set anything more than 250.
Comms saying they don't believe it was as close as DRS said
Unlucky, a lot better review.
The earlier review the ball pitched about 4 inches outside the stumps and he was trying to turn the ball away from them

Got 1 earlier that was borderline, but that looked out and should have been given

A fantastic knock from Shakeel which is starting to take it away.
Mind it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.
Nah its irrational emotion flying about like you get at football. Hardly any praise at all for Pakistan.

I’d like to know how many balls in this test would’ve gone over the stumps.

Ticking the singles has been the game to play from Pakistan and they’ve done it well. We’ve also allowed them to do it though. They are showing though that there’s value in playing ‘easy, sensible’ cricket instead of trying to blast your way through it. This is where we we need to learn and adapt ‘Bazball’ and not just shrug our shoulders and say that’s the way we play.
So no comment whatsoever on any of the points I raised?
You’re still ignoring the Root point.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I stand by every single thing I’ve said today. Especially regarding Saud. We bowled an entire session to him where we were feeding him singles to get him off strike.
