Race against the light now

In your face light...

 

[BillyDee]

FUCK YEAH!

 

[WsWolf]

20 wickets on that pitch takes some doing. Unbelievable captaincy from Stokes, BazBall4eva!!!!!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

A genuinely legendary performance. How easy to settle for 0-0 with two to play. But no.

 

[sycophantia]

Unbelievable, after day 2 I was thinking what a complete waste of time to play this match but England decide to go gung ho and it ends up being an amazing game. Must admit thought they'd declared a bit early but fair play. That's how test cricket should be played.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If you set Pakistan 400+ then they don't even try to win.

Presumably the BCCI are involved in this decision at some level, showing off their usual level of class

India being India - not new news but they are also refusing to go to next years Asia Cup in Pakistan.

Wood in for Livingstone for tomorrow, extra bowler and Pope keeping wicket again. Still not sure why we name our team 24 hours early.

 

[Tony Towner]

Losing 2 hours a day in this Test, one at the start for fog and one at the end for light

 

[Carrotdude]

180-5 at lunch, all the wickets to the spinner that Pakistan should have picked for the first match

 

[Stan Hullis]

Never seen him before, he looks like an accountant they've picked out of a local office

Very skilled bowler!

 

[Carrotdude]

Brilliant googly to get Stokes, he might get all 10 on debut here!

 

[Stan Hullis]

Very good from Wood at the end of the innings here

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

At least this is no pudding of a pitch. Should make for a very interesting test match in a very different way to the last one. I'm thinking time might not be such an issue this time around.

 

[Dinowolf]

Leach gets his first wicket of the innings in his 7th of many overs.
That's his 99th Test wicket
51-2

Jacob Rees-Broad

 

[Dinowolf]

Brilliant catch by Shafique to get Root
79-3

Another test match that

Why I’m so glad we utterly destroyed them in T20 semi final

 

[Dinowolf]

Pope, what are you doing?
