*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[wpdavid]

Yup, they've completely outsmarted us since lunch and we're fully in crap mode now. Well done with the hundred, even allowing for Buttler's helping hands.

Shadab making me eat crow. Good ****. Carry on, Shadlad.

And never doubt a Shan Solo.

 

[trundler]

Excellent century. Proper high quality test match batting. Difficult conditions, great bowling attack at its best and team in dire straits

 

[harsh.ag]

Missed all the action

Props to Shan. Making Howe eat crow

 

[trundler]

Err that's a questionable shot.

Has exceeded expectations though

 

[trundler]

With the sun out England may have better batting conditions to work with though.

These 2 have rotated the strike very well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not much wrong with that innings apart from the lucky escapes against bess yesterday

 

[91Jmay]

Shan was in trouble if Bess had thrown at his end then.

 

[wpdavid]

Their spinners are going to absolutely roll us on this. Ball turning massively for Bess.

Yeah, that's my concern too. They may already have enough for a first innings lead, and then we're needing something extraordinary.

 

[Daemon]

He's single handedly put about 10 overs extra into the bowlers legs. That goes underappreciated at times when it comes to slow innings.

 

[trundler]

Broad and Anderson were absolutely on fire in the morning. There was no point in going after them. Now that they're a little out of gas he's cashing in. Excellent match awareness.

 

[Daemon]

Smart from Root. Slow things down, move the field around, waste a bit of time.

 

[trundler]

Time of reckoning for Bess. It's turning

 

[honestbharani]

Bess has been unlucky. Depends on how Shadab plays him though. If he goes after him too much, it might help Bess.

 

[trundler]

Love the shade of green on their backs

 

[honestbharani]

Its disorienting for me. They should have had the darker shade like their helmets and caps.

 

[trundler]

How England bowl when the lacquer starts coming off and it swings again will be very important

 

[honestbharani]

Ah... the 15 over Duke thing...

 

[91Jmay]

Mashood is the lad who grew up for a little while in London didn't he? Comes from money iirc

 

[91Jmay]

Bess looks clueless against right handers doesn't he. Good against Shan but right handers doing what they want.
