Off Topic Third Test - Edgbaston

This is a very good Test. Shame in a way that it won't be on a real knife edge, Pakistan very slim chance of winning unless they take a lots of big risks. Worth declaring now and going for a win? Probably not.

 

It was on a knife edge till England pulled away with the partnership between Bairstow and Moen.
Cook won't risk losing by declaring early.
Bat for an hour or so tomorrow then try to get them out.

 

Hope I can get a decent signal in LR tomorrow.

 

Should be back home in time for the exciting finish.

 

Superb from Johnny and Ali,took the game away from them in one session. Why Ali can't play like that all the time I don't know,he has all the shots,he just needs to stay focused more and he could score many more centuries in the future.Like Col says,i think we'll give it a wallop for an hour and then hope that they collapse !

 

Looking like a good day all round 125-7!

 

8 down now.

 

Looking like a superb and unexpected victory,well done England for turning this match around.

 

Bloody hell! This last pair are really hanging in there.

Come on England!

 

43 so far for last wicket...

 

All over

Great win from England seals a very satisfying day.

 

Good fun listening to this on the M40 on the way home. A very good win and a good test match.
