Crawley doing Crawley things. Attractive, untroubled innings and then gets out with a stupid shot

 

[Mel Evo]

Kind of post that has a follow up 10 mins later saying "79-5 now"

Hmmmmm…

Duckett completely done by the pitch, stayed so low on him

 

[Trips]

This could be over on Day 2. What a farce.

We could be batting again before the day is done

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think the local cricket authorities might well be getting a bit of shit for this one. Playable for 10 overs and then a complete minefield.

 

[Tony Towner]

The pitch is a disgrace, but only 2 of the 5 were got out, Crawley, Pope and Brook all played shite shots, although I get the aggression as it's only a matter of time before you get a ball like the other 2 did.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Might as well try and score 10 or 20 before the inevitable I suppose. This is unbattable.

 

[Tredman]

These in play adverts are very wierd.

Smith is playing very clever cricket. Got the feeling we may have chucked away a few wickets too easily.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I dunno. We might already be ahead of the game. Who knows until Pakistan have a go.

Certainly.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well played Jamie Smith - a good fifty

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bit of biff going on now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

A real shame that Smith has gone just before tea. I genuinely have no clue what a par score is on this!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmm - 267 it is then. I think there still was 300 in that pitch first up, but I am less than convinced Pakistan will necessarily go past it, and they have to bat last.

 

[Tredman]

Probably have better spinners though

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Do they? Leach has very decent stats in Pakistan, and Bashir and Rehan aren't shit at all. Plus to level that out, our batsman are miles better than theirs.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

At worst I would call that honours even. If England can break the current partnership early tomorrow they will be on top.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Definitely needed that wicket

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Rehan turning the match in England's favour with a great spell
