Pitch is offering **** all by sounds of it. They'll get 600 then we'll vat for 2 days and get similar and be a bore draw no doubt.
Pakistan have spinners who are well experienced in getting the most out of this pitch. Expect the worst
First two days went well then? England 56 - 0 at the close. The wicket must be as flat as a witch's tit.
Cook just passed 200 and Root is 70 not out. 403 - 3 Bit of a dead game now to be honest, but nice to see Cook getting back to form with the ashes and now this.
Agreed slow progress though eh. Not blaming Cook for that just think wickets like these should be done away with for good. These kinds of Tests are impossible to sell as a spectacle.
Yup. Whole thing with Pakistan is stupid at the moment, playing tests where there is 0 crowd as well.
I feel sorry for the TMS boys....a few days in and they are really struggling to think of something else to talk about
183-9... 98 ahead. Light could be the issue though so going to have to chase down these runs quickly if we can get last one out.
Rashid with the final wicket! 5 for him... Need to chase down 98 now for what would be an incredible victory!
With the light and the fact Pakistan won't rush through overs, reckon about 10 overs to go.. 99 needed. Its 20/20 game now!
35-3 England just keep chipping it up to the men in the deep.. I know they need to go big given the time remaining, but need to be a bit smarter.
It's going to be spinning, would not want to be batting last on the wicket, especially with their number 1 spinner back
