WTF England.

 

[sirdennis]

Intriguing test.

Meanwhile the mighty Moseley have reached 236-5 in their 40 overs away at Leamington.

 

[astonion2]

Root now gone. 96-3. Not looking good.

 

[The Fear]

Knife edge this match, fantastic entertainment.

 

[astonion2]

Yep. Be positive knock a few runs and take the game to them. If we lose at least we go down fighting.

 

[Fulford]

Pakistan trying their hardest to cheat a decision out of the umpires.

 

[astonion2]

Brilliant...........

[Pride of Lions]

England win first test by 3 wickets.

Chris Woakes MotM for me.... but no doubt the media love in with Ben Stokes will continue.

 

[The Fear]

Unbelievable days play. Fabulous.

 

[Melon Donkey]

What a mystery this England team is!.

Good side Pakistan. Great result.

 

[Fulford]

Ben Stokes out for the rest of the series as he's flying out to New Zealand to be with his seriously ill Dad.

 

[astonion2]

Day one and Pakistan starting to collapse again. 124-5

 

[The Fear]

Fingers crossed rain doesn't ruin the days play.

 

[Fulford]

The bad light rules really are a joke.

Ok, I am, with all my wisdom and experience, ready to call the result of the Eng v Pak test match.

Draw.

They lost nearly 4 days to weather, what was point of the coming out at 3.30 and just playing for a couple of hours

Pathetic wasn't it? I could understand it a little more if there was a crowd there, just give them a little value, but that was just going through the motions and risking injury without any need at all.
