What a win by England...... stunning to say the least!

Ben Stokes should get MOTM just for the set up of the game.

Bern Stokes should get MOTM just for the set up of the game.

They gave it to Robinson?? Yeah, great bowling, on a flat pitch, but Stokes or Brooks surely had to win this?

 

[The Fear]

Well wasn't that just a treat!

Was so hoping we hadn't blown it when Pope should have gone for the catch but pulled back for Root to.

Great resistance from the last two for Pakistan as well.

 

[Villan57]

Imagine if England had been set 340 to win with 4 sessions to play it would have been all over in 50 overs one way or the other

 

[Villan57]

Amazing they play Cricket in Pakistan and the ground is empty, play the same test in England and the ground is 75% Pakistani.

England going for it again

 

[The Fear]

Plenty in this pitch, hopefully... otherwise, we're being battered!

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

One slight problem I can see for England's new approach is that it gives opposition teams time to build an innings. They don't exactly have to rush, if England are all out half way through day one.

The bowlers have really got to step it up here, to give us a chance.

 

[Fulford]

What another magnificent day for England cricket.

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

It's started moving for the seamers. Two amazing wickets now.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

England win by 26 runs! That was close, what a performance!!

2-0 series win, doubled our number of wins in Pakistan inside a fortnight. Amazing stuff from England.

 

[The Fear]

Unbelievable. So tense, so great, loved it.

 

[Pride of Lions]

I honestly thought we were going to lose this earlier 'this morning'.

Then, to find we'd won by 26 runs....... bit close for comfort this one, but hey, that's entertainment!

 

[Thomas Holte]

Well, that got a bit tense!

 

[Pride of Lions]

THIS, will take some beating!

It's the Australian Big Bash League. Adelaide Strikers make 139-9 in their 20 overs. In reply, Sydney Thunder make.......... 15 all out in 5.5 overs.

And that, you won't be surprised to learn, is a record.

Nicely poised this test match isn't it?

Would love to see Crawley get a good second innings, the pressure must be so high when not doing what you want and need to be doing.

Root too must be under pressure.

 

[The Fear]

Root too must be under pressure.

Far, far, far more proven though, and handy bowling. But yes! lol




I am amazed at the lack of crowds, even the commentators were at a loss, I thought it was a total passion over there.

I wonder if the fans have been priced out.

maybe. Although strange the commentators were so baffled
