*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[flibbertyjibber]

This is rather ominous looking for Pakistan

Would imagine the series win is safe after today, bound to rain at some stage.

Jak Brawley and Zos Cuttler doing well so far in this session. Giving England the upper hand...good counterattack from Cuttler

This is a flat pitch, Pakistan can make first innings runs here.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Quiet overs. Shhhh.

 

[vcs]

Hopefully this isn't another false dawn and Buttler really has figured out Test batting now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

7 overs ago the partnership run rate was 3.71; it is now 3.92

 

[vcs]

This is pretty terrible from Pakistan right now.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Flurry of no balls, whaddya doing Shaheen?

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah the new ball doesn’t help if you bowl like gangrene with it.

 

[honestbharani]

That was such an awesome yorker. And the one that beat Crawley on the inside edge too swinging back in. But somehow Shaheen as a bowler is like one of those batsmen who have all the shots but somehow never make the big scores.

 

[andruid]

Hopefully this isn't another false dawn and Buttler really has figured out Test batting now.

Just guaranteed himself another series with that knock.

 

[honestbharani]

Congrats on the 40 average, Zak Crawley!!!

 

[vcs]

Yeah flat or no flat pitch, this is terrible from Pakistan right now.

 

[91Jmay]

That's as bad as you can bowl by Shaheen there. First 4 balls literally stopped any second new ball buzz dead in it's tracks.

 

[vcs]

Still a few too many plays and misses from Buttler. Needs to be much tighter when he's this deep into his innings. Maybe I'm being overly harsh on him.

 

[trundler]

Maybe I'm being overly harsh

No you didn't accidentally delete a subforum

 

[91Jmay]

Partnership puts us well in the catbird seat. Pakistan heads dropped way too early there.

 

[vcs]

Really impressed by Crawley too.

 

[Groundking]

Crawley was fantastic today, hopefully he pushes on to the double tomorrow

 

[ImpatientLime]

fairs to crawley that was a top innings. seems to have so many scoring options.

buttler seems to be getting on top of managing the tempo of his innings in tests which is nice to see.

pakistan shambolic in the final session. echo was 91jmay said their heads were dropping too early. this england team is very capable of tripping over its own feet.
