    Cummins & Starc are the new Lillee & Thommo!

    I must admit they had me worried for a while, but those last ten overs were rather special - never expected Pakistan to capitulate like that.

    I can't for the life of me understand why Australia declared when they did - 351 runs in four sessions at around three runs an over doesn't seem to be too big an ask. Maybe hoping for another monumental Pakistan batting collapse...

    :(

    Biden ignored him in Brussels, so probably wouldn't answer any calls from him.

    President Biden hasn't lost that many marbles obviously!

    A couple of quick wickets for Cummins making that collapse look more likely - Pakistan 167/5.

    Taken from the BBC website. That final paragraph suggests that they might have been held hostage.

    Basically seems that way.

    Wouldn't go there again if that is the case.

    England in trouble again?

    Trailing the Windies by 93 runs after the first innings, they're now 27/2.

    Fancy Lewis Hamilton failing to qualify from Q1.

    Don't appear to be doing too well at football either - 1-1 with Switzerland at half time.

    And now 39/4 in the cricket.

    Looks like we might win with a VAR penalty.

    Not going to be Mercedes year at this rate.

    Cricket is just so predictable.

    More of a shock if we don’t collapse !

    Some magnificent bowling from Kyle Mayers - 5/9 from 13 overs - has England on the ropes at 103/8 - just ten runs ahead. I doubt they'll last too long tomorrow.

    Unsurprisingly, it looks like it's curtains for England in the cricket - Windies 3/0 chasing 28...

    Well it’s pretty much all over

    Such a shambles .

    I didn’t realise we weren’t able to appeal a LBW shout towards the end of the West Indies innings as we’d run out of reviews .

    Sums the test up !
