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.

England revrting to type lost the 2nd test by 152 runs after being set 297 collapsed to 144 all out.

Australia vs India in Perth

Australia bounced the Indians out for 150, only for India to dismiss them for even cheaper at 100

India then post 487 for the loss of 6 in their second innings, declare and have taken three Aussie wickets for 12 runs

End of Day three, I highly doubt there will be a Day five

India famously always struggled down under, but have won the last two test series there and likely to go 1-0 in front in the third in six years
