*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[Chin Music]

I suggested earlier that England needed in excess of 400 with wickets in the shed at the end of the day. Surely the next aim should now be to get to parity tomorrow morning still with a few wickets in hand and a chance to have a go.

I would try to give everyone a bowl, it's only been done four times in test cricket ..and one of those occasions actually happened in Pakistan , in Faisalabad way back in 1980 when Australia used 11 bowlers vs Pak

Even 'Iron Gloves' Rod Marsh got a trundle that day.

 

[PaulLennon]

England should aim to get 700 midway through session 2 tomorrow and then bowl Pak out day.

 

[Gremlin]

What's the likelihood of the scheduled 26 overs remaining today being bowled?

 

[Darwin Award]

4th test in a row that Brook has smacked centuries in Pakistan.

Loves the track & the buffet bowling presented to him he does.

 

[Silver Silva]

Would you believe there's only been 1 6 in this innings, hit recently by Brook

 

[BazBall21]

Such Coward display from Pakistan playing for draw at home is inexcusable

It was white flag stuff but they've taken it

 

[Nintendo]

Say what you want about pitches, or quality of bowling, or whatever. He's not facing surfers paradise second XI. 4 hundreds in 6 digs is insane.

Brook is the next Viv

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice one Harry. Some player.

Yorkies done well this match all 3 got tons.

 

[BazBall21]

Brookistan the most predictable slander name of all time when he fails in a big series.

 

[GIMH]

It's Joe Root's world and we all live in it

 

[Johan]

and that's 150, considering the cramps and heat, real quality inning.

 

[Daemon]

Is that the first one to seam all innings?

 

[Darwin Award]

.. It was very nearly 5 tons in 6 innings:

 

[Howe_zat]

Most 150+ scores



Root's average under the circumstances a seemingly rare 300+, which if not for Steve Waugh's knack for red ink would be the highest amongst those with similar weight of runs

 

[flibbertyjibber]

How Root has got 150 I will never know. He was out on his feet on 87. Lots of buffet bowling today but this pair have been gifted their last 30/40 each.

Yes bat as long as possible and exhaust the bowlers. If you can't bowl them out again then that's the pitch but England should aim to not bat again if possible
