    Lucky Bethell. Dropped off a straightforward skier. Is this the turning point us?

    Big partnership this I feel. Break it soon and I can’t see us chasing it down.

    Bethell puts one  down the throat of the man on the boundary for 8 (10) to give Shaheen the figures of 3-13 

    35-3 (4.5)

    Thought he’d got hold of that OK at first. 

    35-3

    Brook is key here. 
    I just hope he doesn't have one of his brain farts and does something stupid 
  • Captain’s innings so far

    Nawaz getting a handful of Banton - not necessarily in a cricketing way.

  • Just need Brook to bat for about 80 balls and we are fine

    Jacks and Brook it is. 

    Some absolute dogshit batting again. So many just not showing the levels required.

    Usman Tariq’s bowling action and fielding is giving me hope that my dreams might not be dead.

    I'm no cricket expert, but I've never seen before a bowler walk in to bowl, come to a complete stop and then throw it at the batsman.

    WTF was that fielding 😂

    There's nothing in the Laws of the game that means he cannot stop before delivering the ball. Players have done it in the past albeit not every delivery. As to the action itself, this would have been regularly checked by the ICC.

    Well he was working as a salesman in Dubai before trying his hand late in the day. He didn't make his professional debut until he was almost 26 so I would imagine that there are a lot of similarities between the two of you. How are your variations though?

    Yeah as long as his bowling action is consistent then it's fine to have that pause.

    Curran pulls the ball straight to the man on the boundary off Tariq. Not clever cricket as someone just needs to stay with Brook and not give it up

    103-5 (11.5)

    Ffs Curran just rotate the bloody strike. Brook can do this himself we just need someone keeping it ticking over.

    117-5 (14)

    48 off 36 balls required. England's to lose now as Brook and Jacks only have to bat sensibly from now on.  At the same stage Pakistan were 107-3.
