    Currently in Paddington. Raining. Have tickets for days 1-4 although currently at work ready for the dash up the road when the start time is confirmed.

    If I give you my seat numbers could you go and towel them dry for me, as I am in row 3 of the grandstand ;-)
    Am in Compton upper I’m afraid so can’t reach that far!

    I imagine play will start on time, it's not raining now and the drainage is so good, especially as there's a bit of a breeze to dry the outfield

    England win toss & bat.

    Woakes is the player who misses out

    TMS is on and off we go. I'm at Headingley next Friday, can't wait.

    I'm off to Headingley for the Saturday. Should be interesting!

    Stoneman b Abbas 4 (Eng 12-1)

    And so it begins

    I must admit I hadn't been following Stoneman's fortunes this summer but have just seen that he hasn't even reached 30 in any innings of his 8 innings to date.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    same old, same old...

    It's time for Gubbins or Burns. Don't think Stoneman quite has it.

    just heard he's been averaging 16 this summer. before that he's had those two half century scores against New Zealand.

    Root could have been run out befire facing a ball. We started lied a house on fire - 21 off the first 5 overs. then 4 off the next 6. Turned over to the golf af Wentworth.

    What was Root doing? This is a five day Test match!

    Sounds like Pakistan have been excellent at tempting England into risky plays. Cook sounds lucky to still be out there from what I'm hearing about the bowling from Abbas.
  • golfaddickgolfaddick
    Malan gone now. same old same old.
  • Karim_myBagheriKarim_myBagheri
    Malan's out. 43-3

    some really poor batting so far

    Not by the looks if the team that was selected... Buttler, Bairstow, Stokes. I can only assume that the selectors are Shrews fans & want to be at Wembley on sunday.

    Pakistan would have bowled. If Root doesn't regret his decision now he might well do later.
  • golfaddickgolfaddick
    now 168 fir 6. Stokes gone lbw after review.

    crazy decision to bat first. rain overnight & coudy overhead. 200 seems a long way off....

    esp as Buttler is now out. 168 for 7. England bowling this evening.

    The reason for this collapse is me getting in from the school run, kicking the kids into the garden, and finally sticking on the telly.
  • dickplumbdickplumb
    I agree with golfie. It was a day for bowling. The ball is moving around all over the place.

    If this game goes to day 5 I'll be there on Monday. A bit unlikely though!

  • LenGloverLenGlover
    184 all out!
  • LenGloverLenGlover
    One can only hope that it's swinging and Jimmy can pick up 2 or 3 before the close.

    If not we are already in 'avoid defeat' mode.

    It's a score Kent would be proud of this season.

    which won't happen with the weather I would imagine, can't see a draw

    Anyone been to Lords yet this year? What is the draught bitter? Is it still Marstons? I hope so. I know the ECB have done a deal with Green King and that is the beer at The Oval now, hopefully the MCC make their own decisions and have kept Marstons.

    Still Marstons.
