England v Pakistan

[Red Wimp]

England will do very well to win this. We are short of a batsmen and no.6 and no.7 are too high for Buttler and Woakes.

Not high enough at this rate.
Turning into to an exciting finish

Get in England !!!!!!!!!

Highlights 7pm bbc2 got to be worth a watch, what a turnaround that was. Well done England!

England always behind in that match bar the last three hours. Another great match for the only format of the game that truly matters.

The World Cup final was the best of that format but for me a win like this test knocks 50 over cricket out of the park every time.

Watched that while enjoying a few Ciders. One hell of a turnaround!

Job done! Reverse mockers strike again, cracking performance by those 2 for a great win, shame it was in an empty stadium, deserved a full house.

Absolutely- I didn't see that coming tbh.

Great performance, batted really well, test cricket at its absolute best.

I dont think so when i'm on a lovely island in the sun , in my 2nd home enjoying a lovely evening. As for the cricket, giant killing acts do happen , even for the Pommies

we certainly do , and i raise a glass to that .

Stokes out of the series, due to family problems. Bad news for England.

 

[NottyImp]

For sure. Wish him luck. Genuine cricket legend already and still plenty to give.

 

[Eweimps]

He’s apparently flown to New Zealand to be with his parents. Big miss but family comes first
