[govinda indian fan]

England win

Leach ends with 4-30 having learned to take the grabs himself

All over early on Day 5 after 353.5 overs, remarkable on an absolute pancake of a wicket

 

[Howe_zat]

Honestly what a ridiculous test match. The kind that will make hundreds of stats posts over the next few decades say 'except that one time in Multan'.

And 7-190 on a good batting track.

So I didn’t watch the test. Did the pitch actually deteriorate or was this just a classic Pakistani collapse?

I like Jamal , he has the right temperament for international cricket a real fighter which is something you can't say about Shaheen Afridi , absolutely no fight in him when the going gets tough.

Brother is a batting all-rounder lol

Let’s put it this way, there was a ton partnership for the 7th wicket lol

They were just cooked imo. After things calmed down a bit they had a lower order partnership that didn't look in any real trouble.

Pakistan being Pakistan

How many times have England won a test despite shipping 500 in the oppo's first innings under McCullum? Rawalpindi in 2022. Any others?

It didn't deteriorate. I think England making that many runs just crushed them physically and mentally. They were already a team in a massive rut, it was too much.

 

[King Kane]

A predictable Pakistan loss but at least their lower order added some respectability to their total after their shocking top order collapse yesterday.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Reasonable win that one.

Trent Bridge 2022 v New Zealand

 

[Silver Silva]

Jack Leach 7/190
Shoaib Bashir - 1/156

I'd be very worried if i was Bashir , Leach might just take his spot for the NZ tour

The first innings partnership between the current openers averages around 3.

Trent Bridge 2022 which makes it 3 wins from 3 such occasions

there were hints of the ball reversing and pacers getting a little help as early as Root/Duckett partnership and felt England looked a little vulnerable when Root and Brook partnership started but they both outbatted Pakistan out of the game and after those two the pitch felt reasonable for English lower order and pakistan's inning.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Root and Brook will rightly take the plaudits, but a massive well done to the bowlers on an absolute road, Atkinson, Carse and Leach have done really well, even Woakes and Bashir came up with some magic balls from time to time even if it didn’t quite work for them
