Momentum has swung to England. Brilliant partnership by Buttler and Woakes. If they can keep this going, we may be in for a famous (and improbable) victory.

Amazing finish whatever happens
Buttler better with bat than gloves?

 

[Plum]

Gripping stuff this. One wicket could change it all again!

 

[dennisboothstash]

Fuuuuck

 

[Plum]

And there it is! Buttler gone.

 

[dennisboothstash]

Well
Warne called for Broad up next
Interesting

Love hoe the P keeper appeals. Jumps up and down both feet off the ground, screaming like a banshee, one hand up in the air, the other grabbing his bollocks!

Hes used to feeling balls in his gloves!

always nice to tempt fate with a bit of reverse spin psychology. cracking stand to take thegame.

Well, what a great game, pity someone had to lose. Though having said that I'm glad we didn't! Buttler bought himself another game too.

 

[dennisboothstash]

Easy...

Well done Woakes and England. Great win for us but Pakistan are a class side and will come again in the rest of the series. We still look frail in the top order against fast bowling and leg spin.

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Good effort

 

[Blaknamberblood]

A terrific win despite bewildering tactics employed at times .. Woakes clear m.o.m but nice to see Butler contribute big style. Shaping up to be a good series tbf but I still worry about our top order

 

[Plum]

Good effort

Don't overdo it Ben!

Stokes is missing the rest of the series due to family reasons, so as great as yesterday was, there's no point carrying on...

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

Just caught up with the highlights of the last day, brilliant win by England, the saying wrestled a win from the jaws of defeat more or less sums it up. A great Test match to watch, Pakistan looked the better-balanced side, with mistakes on many fronts probably made it more exciting. Some poor captaincy on both sides and Buttler's wicket keeping needs to improve.

However, hats of to Buttler for putting in a wonderful performance with the bat after his traumas behind the stumps, as well as Woakes, clearly MOTM, who was excellent with both bat and ball.
