Brook going along beautifully now

Hard to remember a much more enjoyable series than this.

Brook going along beautifully now

Brook is such a good player. England might nick a lead here.

 

[Stroller]

Well played Harry Brook, third ton of the series. Also a 100 partnership with Foakes, who's looked good too.

A lead of 50 would be very handy.

I reckon the ashes of 2005 tops anything I've seen since Botham's ashes.

Well played Harry Brook.
Hell of a talent.

Nice to even be talking about it in the same sentence as those epic wins. Win or lose, I hope this team stays committed to the style.

The desired lead of 50 achieved and now a few overs at the Pakistan batters.

 

[Stroller]

A fourth wicket for debutant Rehan Ahmed as Pakistan slump to 211-9.

England looking good for a series whitewash.

 

[Stroller]

Rehan Ahmed becomes the youngest ever Test debutant to get a 5-fer. Well bowled young man.

Decent power play this by England 48/0 off 5 overs....

I was thinking, they have two and a bit days, so they take it easy……of course not!

Want to get home early for Christmas.

I never understand chasing a 20/20 score why teams tootle along at 2/3 an over taking a whole day to try and reach their target. All it takes is a couple of wickets and then there is suddenly pressure on the batsmen. We would knock 167 off all day long if it was a 20/25 over match

 

[Stroller]

Rehan Ahmed in at number 3 and smashes his first ball back over the bowler's head for 4!

 

[sb_73]

Now, will people say that Stokes promoting Ahmed up the order ahead of himself, Root, Pope and Brook shows a ‘lack of respect’?

Not me, it’s a hoot.

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

These are unprecedented times, almost there for a clean sweep in Pakistan, something that's never been done before ! Stokes and McCullum are different gravy. Incredible

 

[jeffranger]

Well that didn’t take this morning to knock off the runs, fantastic series win & this team has no limits to what it can do

 

[rangercol]

Bring on the Aussies!!!

 

[sb_73]

Stunning series win, unprecedented stuff all season. A lot of the focus has been on the incredible batting, but Bazball only works if you can bowl the opposition out twice. We have found a way to intimidate them into caving…..

This was the first Test England have won without at least one of Anderson or Broad playing since 2007. We have a bowling future!

Bring on the Aussies!!!

Funny you should mention that, mate.
Australia just wrapped up another test.
