Ooops, forgot we need to bring the keeper back.

Yeah. Will Jacks has held it together pretty well in the face of concrete and picking a batting allrounder instead of a bowling allrounder at 8 isn't that weird, especially when they're an offie.
Wouldn't mind the extra seamer on what is hopefully a more fair surface next week but it's not especially necessary.

Looks a good prospect but hard to judge batting on a road against an ordinary attack.

I just don't see Overton posing a threat in this part of the world, even if the pitch isn't a complete road. A fit Mark Wood might be a different matter.

Agreed but can only hit what’s in front of you

380 lead and declare?
Give them about 45 minutes bowling tonight before light closes in.

We'll do well to get that many now that Jacks has gone. Hopefully the bowlers are under instructions to stick around and leave it to Brook.

Better to declare now. This will give Pakistan a feeling that they can easily chase it...and then as history has shown they will collapse and play their worst cricket.

I know this a crude bit if maths, but if England had scored their runs this match at the same run-rate Pakistan scored theirs at, they would have used about 100 extra overs, and, given loss of time due to the light, the match would be almost over by now. What Bazball has done in this match is like turning a 5-day test into a 6-day test, which makes a result so much more likely. Whether that turns out to be good for England or good for Pakistan remains to be seen.

Brook is on the cusp of making twin centuries in a test on debut & breaking the fastest test century by an Englishman which has stood for 120 years.

He is still young...in Pakistan they don't age. In fact they reverse age!
