Squat Sports News Cricket Update - Australia win the series against West Indies who were chasing 470+ runs.
Think they scored 77 all out.

Pakistan looked to be heading for victory at 290-5, but a couple of wickets for Wood before lunch leaves them 7 down still needing another 64.

Looks like another nail-biter.
 
Great team result. This is how to turn around peoples views on Test cricket.
Brilliant job by the management and players going all-in on their approach to the game.

Brilliant series win for us, Wood is such an important bowler for us. Everything crossed he's fit for the Ashes. Hopefully Archer can stay fit and regain his threat too !

England opening the bowling with Leach and rewarded with an early wicket and a close shave for a 2nd LBW. Great decision so far by Stokes(yet again). Wonder if he fancies having a go at football management?!
 
Young Ahmed gets his first Test wicket, what a great moment for the lad...........174/4
 
Anyone know why game today was played In a near empty stadium?
Sad to say that Test cricket in Pakistan just isn't as popular as it once was, they much prefer the shorter versions. If you add in the fact they've already lost the series then I think that's why. Sad considering they've waited so long to play us at home, but that's the way it is. I'm already thinking ahead to what the atmosphere is gonna be like in the Summer for the Ashes. Gonna be something special
 
Another 50 for Harry Brook, but he's going to need to score plenty more to make up for running his captain out.

England struggling at 154/5.
