England v Pakistan Test Series 2026.

[andy]

Abbas has gone past 900 f/c wickets now and he's causing carnage out there! Edges flying down to thirdman off both batsman they took 4th slip out ball flies through and now 4th slips goes back in

[sussexpob]

Cox puts another one through the slips. Getting very lucky atm

[andy]

80-4 at lunch Pakistan's morning...no maidens bowled though

[alfie]

Not exactly the morning England were looking for

Abbas bowled really well. And the ball did plenty for him. But apart from one ripper from Ali the backup isn't really there so England will think if they can get through the next Abbas spell they can still get a score on the board.

[sussexpob]

Big hour coming up.

[alfie]

Big hour coming up.

Yes.

Mind you , if England were to get skittled and conditions stay like this , Robinson will be unplayable...

[Arthur Crabtree]

big innings for Cox played beautifully at headingley if he can get big runs here as well in these conditions puts big pressure on gay and smith...because bethell will come back and Cox is a good keeper they won't drop Cox if he scores big runs in these test matches under a new coach and captain

Leave out Bethell

[sussexpob]

Big hour coming up.

Yes.
Mind you , if England were to get skittled and conditions stay like this , Robinson will be unplayable...

Unless it rains a lot, I cant imagine there will be much of the game to come by Saturday, lets put it that way

Disregarding the cloud cover, Lord's pitches are always lively early on. Then get easier to bat on.

[sussexpob]

Lawrence once again dropped on nothing.

That's the sort of drop that should lead to an Anti-Corruption investigation, just absolutely awful.

[sussexpob]

Cox at the other end has also had a gigantic amount of luck.

England really proving its better to be lucky than good today.

[sussexpob]

Pakistan's fielding has just been utterly abysmal this series. You aren't winning test matches if you need to bowl 35 wicket balls every game...

[sussexpob]

Cox at the other end has also had a gigantic amount of luck. England really proving its better to be lucky than good today.

Edges short of 2nd slip again.

Andy, you are an Essex guy, you got his phone number so I can ask him what lotto numbers hes picked this week?

[sussexpob]

Usman Ali on... looks like the pitch is going to spin also, he's turning it

[andy]

Pakistan pulling things back Cox and Lawrence having to fight hard...and yes more turn than I was expecting!
