  • Get through the day and see how the pitch does tomorrow, seems to be different every day 
  • 36-2 (11) at close. 261 to win.

    Pope 21* (30)
    Root 12* (26)
  • Given his scoring history it feels doable if Pope survives the first half hour or so tomorrow 
  • Pakistan      1.26
    England       4.60
    Draw      1000.00

    And the 2 "big hitters" at the top of the innings have gone. If we were going to win this it was getting off to a blistering start so that Root, Stokes etc wouldn't need to hang around for long.

    It will all be over by Lunch tomorrow. I expect us to crumble & be all out for under 150. 

    Are you still working as a positive life Coach ?
  • Aussie women thumped. Glorious
  • Good for the sport that none of the big 3 will make the final.

    and all 3 go out in humiliating style too

    He quite likely isn't going to be wrong though.
  • Great start. Pope caught and bowled Sajid in the second over

    37-3

  • Time for pope to be dropped. It won’t happen though

    At 58/4 and Pope and Root out to spinners on a 9th day pitch in the first few overs he will turn up later and be his normal," I told you so"

    Others will join in.

    The England players have to stay positive and try to accumulate.
  • Noman has Root LBW. He reviews, of course, but in vain

    55-4


  • We need one of those Stokes innings now!
  • Win the toss, win the game was the ultimate factor here unfortunately 
  • We need one of those Stokes innings now!
    I’d take him getting over 10 at the moment. Been useless with the bat for a while!

    He hasn't had many massive match winning innings in recent times but, to be fair to him, he has three 50s in his last five times out and averages 33 in 26 innings since the start of the Ashes last year. 
  • Brook given out LBW and, on Stokes suggestion, he reviews but he's still out for 16 (21) to Noman and we lose a review

    78-5

    And golfie got stick for this comment!!
  • 80/5

    3 years and 8 months since the last time Pakistan last won a test match; England need to extend that 🤔

  • Much as we say that the pitch seems to have varied, from day to day, I just think that the Pakistan spinners have bowled and batted better on it. We've scored 160 runs for the loss of our last 13 wickets. 
  • Smith out to a slog sweep off Noman that just goes straight up in the air for 6 (10)

    88-6


  • 88/6 and a fast learning curve for the likes of Jamie Smith as he gets lured into a rash shot on this pitch.
  • Carse is given out to Sajid LBW and again Stokes suggests he reviews. The ball is missing!!!


  • Almost 7 down. Saved by DRS.

    Not being bitter but using a wicket that already had 5 days play on is just wrong. There is a reason why its not been done in Tests before. 

    England been done like a kipper here.

    Sajid "I don't believe it" as the DRS shows Carse wasn't out LBW for a duck. You have to laugh 😂

    Carse hits two 6's  in a row !

    111/6
  • Highest partnership of the innings. 

    Stokes still out there 

    Leach still to come

    Believe. 
  • Sorry......my fault.

    Just trying to be positive chaps.

    Best I just stick to my usual pessimism. 
  • Stokes out in bizarre fashion - comes down the track, misses the ball, bat goes flying towards midwicket and he's out stumped for 37 (36)

    125-7
