*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

That's a pretty good total. Excellent innings for Rizwan. Come on Abbas

How the hell did that end up going to extra cover

Modern bats.

That was like a replay from ICC 2005 where the match engine just kinda gives up

Jesus, with a leg side half tracker; funny old game, this cricket.

Kudos to Rizwan though, turned a sub par score into a decent one with 3 11s for company.

236 more than competitive, IMHO.

angled down leg but swung away lol

impressive way to get dismissed though

 

[trundler]

I remember seeing Pollar hit a leg side flick which went for 6 over extra cover off the outside edge instead in the BBL.

They'll all say how much they want to play more (and fair enough, they probably do), but they'll still take the opportunity to walk off the moment they judge it helps their side to do so. Cold professionalism > "would nice to play under lights more".

Haha I agree but that's why it was taken out of the hands of the players. Take it one step further, once floodlights are open, game continues. I understand visibility may be bad with the red ball so use another better colour.

Pakistan realistically the only side which can win this aren’t they?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't see any way Pakistan can win. England could win by making 350 and then bowling them out quickly in the second innings. Not likely though.

Ignoring my facetious comment about the follow-on target, I'm not sure. If England are dismissed not too far short of 236 and Pakistan collapse in their 2nd innings then we might see an interesting run chase if the weather holds. But I don't think the weather will hold.

 

[Starfighter]

Oh this could be fun.

 

[trundler]

Slips too deep again

 

[Neptune]

Ooo cricket

 

[honestbharani]

Burns is not having a good time, is he?

 

[Woodster]

Over to you Zac Crawley......good luck!

 

[Neptune]

And Burns is gone, OK.

 

[Daemon]

****ing hell pakistan

 

[Howe_zat]

Burns just mincemeat there. Grim

 

[trundler]

Peach

 

[Starfighter]

You know Burn's technique really makes those dismissals look bad, ignoring the fact that the ball seamed a mile from an awkward angle.
