*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[MW1304]

Still evenly poised?

 

[Scaly piscine]

****ing pathetic.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wondering whether Woakes has tried hypnosis - just not the same player as before

I wonder if it involves Finn too..you know draining Finn of all his skills and fitness and absorbing them.

 

[Jono]

Crucial to not give away too many runs to the tail this morning.

This match could be a classic. Set up well.

 

[Scaly piscine]

England team, turn up or **** off. Need a minor miracle not to be 1-0 down.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

We are toast.

 

[Jono]

Still evenly poised?

Yep. No team overwhelming favourites.

Eng 2.62
Pak 2.00
Draw 8.2


We're in for a great test match. Feel free to Gambhir though.

Still evenly poised?

So strange. Obviously England could have made up the deficit with 9,10,11 at the crease but it's not hard to notice that doesn't happen most of the time. Like, there's a difference between calling a lead unsurmountable and recognising that a lead exists.

All out now. I'd take that nailed on draw right now

Good work from Pakistan this morning... not great from England.

Advantage Pakistan but can their batting stand-up and get themselves a good lead?

 

[Niall]

Still evenly poised?

Pakistan slight favorites, but England don't need to panic, get the gruesome twosome quickly and no reason not to, and its pressure on the Pakistan middle order.

Nicely poised.

Evenly poised doesn't mean the first innings scores are even ftr Howe.

BW is up and about!

How is it gambhiring to state that this is not evenly poised when we are 67 runs behind after the first innings having been demolished by a spinner on a day 2 pitch.

Is it just because Pakistan? I'm genuinely confused.

Is everyone else's feed showing a camera shot of the Lord's ground while Nasser interviews Shan Masood in a pre-recorded segment? This is really weird.

Wow love these Sky Sports special programs during the breaks. They take cricket coverage to a whole new level. Watch and learn Channel 9.

England the home side, 2 crap openers in this side and dodgy lower order for Pakistan.

Agreed England are not exactly excelling at the moment, but Pakistan still have a lot of work to do.
