Sweet revenge

Heard both catches were tough, but you've got to take one of them on this pitch. And I think we need wickets now while they're frazzled.

Woakes' chance was harder.

Bring on Leach and Basir you cowards

Yeah can't let them settle

 

[King Kane]

As clear an example of mental collapse as you’ll see. As an opener I really feel for the guy.

I was an opener too.

One of the tough things about being an opener is when you are out in the field for a day or two and then you have to bat straight away with no break.

The other batsmen get a chance to have a break and refresh before they bat, not for Masood in this case though, he may as well have been opening.

Yep, needed to take one of those and Atkinson's was probably the easiest. But no doubt still fuming at Woakes dropping one off his bowling...

It's even better that it was bowled.

Pakistan somehow finding ways to lose at home consistently. Hallmark of a **** team

@capt_Luffy Told Ya, Bumrah legit had Root go through factory reset.

 

[Uppercut]

My brain refuses to accept that England only batted for 150 overs. I'm having thoughts like "well Pakistan's openers will be exhausted after an eternity in the field". Then I realise that it's only as long as England were out there in the first innings and it didn't seem to hold them back.

 

[Burgey]

@Burgey famously said Harry Brook is a nothing batsman who will be forgotten

Hahaha. He talks some rot

He is and he will be. Good on him here though. Any score that size is a huge effort

There is the moral stress though.

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah they will be deflated and have run around more etc. But I feel we need wickets today. Tomorrow will be harder unless there's a lot more spin. They will have regrouped and refreshed then.

 

[honestbharani]

This is amazing. Brook is awesome. So is Root.

Obviously England are favorites but I think if Pak can dig deep and get the draw (pitch is still a road), it may set them up to even win this series.

Chasing leather does make it drag more when you're out there tbf.

Strip Pakistan of Test status IMO.
