I said in the 1st test that having only 4 frontline bowlers could come back to bite Pakistan. While Amir is a fine bowler,if you nullify their spinner they are in trouble. We've batted far more sensibly this time,and have reaped the reward !
Stokes given out after a dubious review ! 471-6,enter Johnny Bairstow. 200 for Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot.
How did the third umpire come up with that decision against Stokes? The mark on the glove was there before the ball reached, and the noise came from him scraping his feet.
Nice to see Yasir approaching a double century as well....... Masterful from Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot........
I thought the whole point of the review system was to reach a decision beyond any doubt, that was totally inconclusive and the handle of the bat more likely caused the hot spot as he turned on the shot. It more than enough showed there was no grounds for giving out, crap decision...
Some consolidation prior to tea and then expect the fireworks to begin for an hour after tea to allow for the declaration at 600+
Too many wide deliveries,got to make them play. 11 overs and no real pressure built,Ali on first change !
At last,one in the right place and we get the wicket. That man Woakes in his 1st over,caught at slip by Rooooooooot,his 50th test catch.What a day for the Yorkshire maestro !
It's there for the taking if we put it in the right place ! Already evident that Ali instead of Rashid is a pigging joke.
