Sounds mad given the score but feels like England bowlers will have to work harder than the Pakistan bowlers did. Normally a score of 650 means you've been in the field for at least 2 full days. 

[Lionator]

If Pakistan get off to a decent start then 650 will be less than par. Plus England’s spinners are to all intents and purposes, crap.

It'll be fine, don't expect much from this pitch over the 5 days as Pakistan will want to ensure as much cricket as possible. By the third test we might see a competitive wicket to decide the series.

Shame was hoping Jimmy would chip in with a ton

Proper stat-padding tour for the batsmen 

[walkerleeds]

Probably an hour and 20 minutes of play left.

 

Can anyone see us getting a wicket? Haven't seen any of it this morning.

[RowlattsFox]

At least England made it slightly interesting with their attacking shots and run rate. Not going to be a great watch the next couple of days.

[Brainy]

Issue with our speedy batting it's given Pakistan 3 days to rack up 900 so they can bowl us out for 100 on the final day

Australia West Indies has been a good match

It’s a bit of a farce. 6 centuries and we’ve not even had 2 innings yet. 

[AjcW]

Find it odd Livingstone hasn’t had even just a couple of overs before breaks 

 

Injured?

Yeah he pulled up while fielding yesterday, think it was his hamstring, 

[StanSP]

Rehan Ahmed would have bowled these lot out by now

[Lionator]

I’m not sure prime Warne and Murali would get anything from this pitch.

 

Pakistan will be aiming for 750-800 and hope they can somehow put England under pressure. 

[Super_horns]

Probably won't make much difference but we might get a lead after the first innings.

I think you will. 

 

3 more wickets to get despite bowlers probably knackered. 

 

I think they'll get 550-600.

Can't blame Pakistan for doing this though, they did it when Australia toured. 

[StanSP]

Did Crawley think that hit his shoulder? 

 

Wonder how long England will bat for and possibly declare, in the hope of forcing a result and avoid the draw? 

[Tommy Fresh]

Good effort by the West Indies

[StanSP]

India struggling in first ODI against Bangladesh. 

[HighPeakFox]

Would someone be so kind as to change the word 'none' in the topic title to 'non' please?

[StanSP]

A day and a bit to bowl Pakistan out for less than 343.

 

Think it'll be more than enough, but hopefully a good fight put up by Pakistan to make it entertaining... 

[Super_horns]

Pakistan set 342 to win .

Guess we are hoping to get early wickets with the new ball so they cannot go for the runs .

[Corky]

Really not sure about this declaration.

It’s still an absolute road, I’m not so sure it’s enough.
