hate england, of course, but i am really happy for leach who i like. mismanaged horribly by his captain here last ashes and copped a lot of tap, much of which was probably a little undeserved - hope he gets six tbh

Yeah, I mean, three reviews left and only two wickets, so don't blame Zahid, but equally if that wasn't out I've never seen an LBW that is.

Turns out Pakistan's tail is as bad on the cricket field as it looks on paper. England should go on to win this fairly easily, Bazball or not.

Didn't expect to wake up to that. Pitch turning even more?

Wouldn't be shocked if we got rolled in the third innings, but that lead could be significant.

Not really. Leach got Rizwan with a beauty.

Then Robinson got Babar with a reverse beauty.

Rest of the wickets from the actual batters were gifts.

Lovely scorecard to wake up to. I really thought I'd poke my head from under the duvet to see Babar on an untroubled 100+, but I gather that Robinson's second delivery of the match did for him. Talking of which, I hope that Stokes doesn't get suckered into underusing his quicks just because the pitch is taking a a lot of spin. I felt there was a bit of that with the annoying last wicket partnership, until Wood came back to end the innings. And I suspect that Pakistan were pretty happy not to face Robinson at all until they were well past 100. Anyway, maybe they're minor gripes in the bigger scheme of things. I wonder how many we'll end up setting them on this pitch.
