How dead must that wicket be in Pakistan. The Pakistanis put on 556 and you think “yeah that’s England done with”. Nope…England just put on a fourth wicket stand of 400, with Root and Brook putting on over 200 each.

Would be hilarious if we get a 200 odd first innings lead, put the Pakistanis back in and get an innings victory.

You’d most likely be looking at a draw. On a surface like this, it does rather diminish Test Cricket (although for me it’s still by far the most superior form of the game)

Currently 807-7


Declared on 823-7


Brook gets 300. I can only think of Brian Lara scoring more than that in a single test match innings

Ridiculous sport.

59-5 you could be right.

59-5 you could be right.

I think a victory is almost certain, an innings victory is looking very likely

Pakistan put on a bit of resistance but ultimately fall for an innings and 47 runs

[dazthegooner]

And the first time in history a side that has scored over 500 in first innings to lose by an innings.

I was going to say that surely has to be a record.
