It's impossible to keep up with this.

Root got 23 from 31 balls. He surely has to be dropped.

 

[Fulford]

It's just not Cricket.

Not as we know it.

 

[Fulford]

Those in play ads for Sensodyne are funny.

 

[sirdennis]

Stokes has 34 off 15 balls already.

Also no side has ever got 500 in a day until now.

just 75 overs as well, I've always wondered on pitches like this why they don't just play as they do in one-day games and now they are. Sometimes it does work.
Its like Bielsa ball cricket

Wow. That's quite something. 6.7 runs an over ALL DAY!

 

[The Fear]

Bish, bash, bosh. Repeat. Amazing.

 

[Fulford]

Wonder if they'll attempt to get to 1000.

Carnage.

Absolute carnage.

 

[Fulford]

Certain draw here by the looks of it.

 

[Melon Donkey]

I love cricket but i‘m no expert. However, i‘m gonna say that this is a decent batting track.

 

[Villan57]

Stokes giving Pakistan a more than fair chance to win this

 

[Fulford]

I think Hawkeye had a mare then. No way was that going over the stumps on this pitch.

 

[Fulford]

Then the next ball Pope puts down a sitter.

 

[Fulford]

What a performance this is. One wicket required.

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

Stokes judged it just right.

 

[sirdennis]

Jimmy Anderson. What a bowler. 40 years old and 4 wickets on the flattest pitch of all time.

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

Perfect!!!! Lovely to see a full 5 days action, but still get a result.

 

[Fulford]

Well done England.

 

[Villan57]

Brilliant game that would have been a borefest under any other Captain
