Eng Test tour of Pak, Dec 1-21

Think Brookes going to get a few more googlies now. Didn't pick that, very lucky the ball didn't hit the stumps

Nice to see they can drop a gear when needed as well though lead of 300 will be plenty if can get there

[sussexpob]

Don't like the field from Pakistan. Duckett is hitting everything behind square on the leg side, get the leg slip in and bring the man in from the boundary to cut that single off, it's too easy for him. If he wants to take the boundary on, let him.

Tough to see how Pakistan win this game unless they clattered through England's line up in the next session. Anything 250 plus is going to be hard to knock off

[Arthur Crabtree]

Brook scoring at SR of 31. Can't be listening in practice.

[sussexpob]

Might be the worst all round play for a ball I've ever seen.

Bowler goes way too short, Duckett plays an inexplicably naff dab in the air, the field drops the easiest catch you will ever see...

Terrible cricket all round

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like the light is going to end this.

[sussexpob]

Duckett missed out on 3 figures, but England wont mind seeing that ball die off the surface. Just as you got the sense the pitch looked a bit flat, out of nowhere he's got that

[Arthur Crabtree]

Brook scoring at SR of 31. Can't be listening in practice.

Seems to have found the accelerator.

[Durhamfootman]

lead is 276 with 5 wickets still in the bank

there won't be any declaration worries in this match

[Durhamfootman]

light ends things. England 202-5..... 281 ahead. Well placed

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done to Abrar for ten in the match on debut.

Two run out feels a bit generous from England.

[bigfluffylemon]

Probably already enough, another fifty or so should put things into Pakistan need a miracle territory.

[Durhamfootman]

lot of time left in this game, fluffy. Get as many runs as you can. Time isn't going to be an issue

[sussexpob]

The turn in the pitch is slow, and watching earlier I didn't get the impression the pitch was that bad.

Then you watch duckett get bowled by one that skips along the floor, and you think England surely have plenty to win the game. No pressure of time either, just grind out a few more, and I can't see Pakistan making kt

Well sure, no-one's saying declare here . I'm just feeling pretty comfortable about the match situation.
