[Borotommo]

England 30-0 off the first 4 overs. Pitch looks flat

 

[Borotommo]

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

 

[Paintolerance]

[Borotommo]

174-0 at lunch.

 

[Chris_Boro]

Crawley and Duckett have the runs...




I'll get my coat, it's cold anyway.

How I’ve missed these attritional Pakistani featherbeds!

 

[Abel Tasman]

The wicket is a road. Should be looking at 500 plus here. Just as I type Root goes.

 

[jam69]

Great start, but as said it's a batsman wicket.
Should be more in it for the bowlers on day 16

 

[Borotommo]

332-3 at ️ great chance for H. Brook

A couple have kept low and there is a hint of reverse. It’s not a complete pancake.

Thing is, it's incredibly difficult to get results in Pakistan recently...Batsmans paradise it seems. By playing in this manner, effectively scoring 2 days worth of runs on day 1, at least they give themselves a winning opportunity.

Fair play to them...they have reinvented Test cricket!

 

[Zoophonic]

Nuts. 410-3.

I had to look up the record number of runs scored in one day. We wont quite get there.

Ta. We used to be chuffed with 85 in a first session when Tavaré, Boycott et al were in the middle!

Very interesting stats. Those runs were made in the old days with thin bats and no gym time. There’s a PhD in it for someone to research what happened to slow things down for so long.

 

[jam69]

Brook has 11 balls to set englands fastest test match century I think

 

[sadgit]

589 for highest ever score in ant day

they will break this record, I am sure
