*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

[Uppercut]

The stormcloud is so dark that it looks like half the sky is at night and half is at day.

Man I was really hoping Abid would get his 50 before going off.

 

[91Jmay]

If that settles in a bit it's going to be heavy so outfield will need to dry for a bit. Reckon might struggle for play before tea

 

[Groundking]

Should have stayed in Manchester....

 

[Neptune]

Get a climate LMAO.

 

[mr_mister]

Stupid English weather.

When are they gonna play indoors over there

 

[smash84]

the **** is wrong with this weather

 

[Woodster]

Should have stayed in Manchester....

Been a lovely day in Manchester hasn’t it ?

 

[Groundking]

Been a lovely day in Manchester hasn’t it ?

Yeah it's been nice all day, not a drop of rain.

[trundler]

Lmao what better way to bring up a jammy 50 than with a thick outside edge just short of slip

 

[91Jmay]

Should have been gone ages ago, proper scratchy innings. Lucky to get 60.

 

[trundler]

Not a chanceless innings but still a decent one given the conditions

 

[trundler]

Even 5 looks too high for Shafiq

 

[91Jmay]

Babar playing and missing constantly. I get some of it is conditions but hanging the bat out there is not the shot on this deck.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think Abid did ok, especially given it's his third FC innings in England ever.

Looks an old fashioned, crabby, grinding kind of opener.

Lovely set up by Scurran to get him though. Beauty of being able to move it both ways.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pearler from Broad there.

I was with Was, thought he must've got a tickle, it moved that much after it passed the bat.

 

[vcs]

So we get to see what Fawad can do. Predictable disappointment from Shafiq after a couple of tidy strokes.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Never looked at it today, Shafiq. Half-arsed prod to a ball leaving him isn't the go.

 

[91Jmay]

Big chance here, Woakes on next has a chance to get on a roll.
