England v Pakistan A Warm Ups.

[hopeforthebest]

Finn having a field day with 4 wickets so far. Who was it who doubted he would be suited to these pitches, maybe it was me.

He must have bowled himself into the first test now I reckon.

Rashid gets a wicket edged to Stokes who is now apparently at slip. He also took the catch for Moeen's wicket.

[Aidan11]

Looks like this partnership has took away any chance England had of actually winning the game.

[Aidan11]

Still impressive figures for Finn.

14-7-16-4.

[Aidan11]

Partnership finally broken....by Samit

Manzoor has a mystery 4 to his score. Maybe he's a four handicap batsman.

Apparently they're running out of batsmen so he came in a second time.

Asad in also in for a second go, this is a farce.

England bowlers have taken 9 wickets but as two of them were the same batsmen they don't count for the scoreboard. Apparently they have to bat the full 90 overs irrespective of how many wickets England take.

[Aidan11]

There goes the twelfth Pakistan wicket.

[Aidan11]

Or is it the thirteenth?


I've lost count. Reminds me of those games in the park I played as a kid.

[Aidan11]

Pakistan declare at 192-12.

[hopeforthebest]

Are we about to see a return to timeless tests?

England made several changes for their final warm-up game, with pace bowlers James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Mark Wood omitted, although all were offered the chance to bowl a few overs if they wished.
--
It wouldn't have felt fair to the other bowlers to be bowling again. They had their turn in the first match. Anyway the 1st Test will be a Test wicket with Test batsmen. Different to warm-ups. Win the toss and England will want to bat first. Won't be wanting to face Yasir Shah on the last day.
