*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

[Scaly piscine]

New ball will do something in England unless it's a total road and you've got blue sky.

Batting first is a nice advantage, a bit of cloud cover isn't enough of a reason to bowl first.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah I think they should have batted but it has logical reasons for bowling.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

not sure why star sports not broadcasting the test

 

[Scaly piscine]

Same old Vince.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Soft dismissal, good to see one of those given out for a change.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Time to revisit that 'things Borthwick has to do to get picked' list again. Should be in double figures by now.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah as much as I hoped for the reprieve there, it was the right decision.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah good decision. Vince not a test match player. Not yet proven he is a Div 1 player. Borthwick in for the Oval please.

 

[MW1304]

Good partnership that's kept us in the game but Vince should really only have one more innings now. Even if he scores second innings he probably shouldn't keep his place.

 

[Dan Jamson]

Nothing shot from Vince. Not a test match batsmen

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nothing shot from Vince. Not a test match batsmen

Just dangled the bat out there, crap dismissal.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah good decision. Vince not a test match player. Not yet proven he is a Div 1 player. Borthwick in for the Oval please.

Nah come on Duckett straight in, Scaly would be so mad.

 

[mr_mister]

Bairstow has the highest backlift i've ever seen

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nah come on Duckett straight in, Scaly would be so mad.

or some other random Yorkie for giggles.

Originally thought a Surrey or Middlesex player would be best but actually Northamptonshire being even more unfashionable than Durham would make it even better.

 

[91Jmay]

Mark Stoneman. Would make him combust with rage.

I was just going by how he blew his top over Ballance getting recalled. In all honesty we all knew at some stage he would get back in just I don't think any of us expected it when it happened.

 

[smash84]

England bat freaking deep

 

[smash84]

Eng are 4 wickets down and there are still so much batting to come. Must get tiring for the bowling team

 

[mr_mister]

if these 2 ton up do we really need Root anymore enough York folk in this XI
