Pakistan v England 1st test

[TeaCider]

I've got to stop tuning in.

Flicked it on 3 times now, there's a wicket each time.

 

[TeaCider]

Brook has 3 balls to get the fastest ever test century for England.

Needs 6 runs.

 

[Lottowyn]

Didn’t get them. Out LBW. 464 for 4.

Sorry correction, it was Ollie out at the other end.

 

[TeaCider]

Come on, go for a 6, I want him to break that record.

 

[TeaCider]

Boooo, one ball to equal the record at least, needs 4 runs.

Has Stokes just started giving them drugs? Where has this come from???

First game I have seen which was stopped early virtually to save the BOWLERS from further punishment.

 

[Muttley]

That lad Root'll never amount to much only scoring 20 odd on that track. Get rid etc.

Had his chance.

Exactly Root oooot.

87-0 off 12. Test cricket at > 7 runs an over

Boycott would be livid

I typically get up early for the sub continent tours and watch. Didn’t set my alarm thinking the baby (14 weeks old) would wake at about 4:30-5 as usual.

Nah, slept til 7 (to the great delight of the missus) Turned on my phone and looked at the score…

Wow! Unbelievable batting.

Flat track but considering how bad we were 12 months ago, to put on 500 in a day is quite the transformation!

More runs tomorrow and hopefully the pitch can deteriorate some more over days 3-4

I love the quote from Mr Root

"Smack it, score fast and take wickets. Pretty simple," he said.

Boycott would be livid

Don't you mean is, he's still around

 

[BobUpnDown]

1st day... Ridiculous scoring..

 

[Borotommo]

England all out for 657. Brook with a superb 153 (off only 116 balls). We have ourselves another Yorkshire superstar

 

[BobUpnDown]

Looks like a flatter than flat pitch.. Pakistan crusing also 181-0
