Wow love these Sky Sports special programs during the breaks. They take cricket coverage to a whole new level. Watch and learn Channel 9.
What is the special? We literally just got a wide camera shot of the Lord's ground for 10 minutes just then. :dry:

England the home side, 2 crap openers in this side and dodgy lower order for Pakistan.

Agreed England are not exactly excelling at the moment, but Pakistan still have a lot of work to do.
Yeah exactly.

No one is saying England are a lock or anything. Its just a weird thing to pull someone up on. Particularly when the whole friggin betting market shared that view. Hardly speaking out of turn.

How much worse could this have been too. Cook dropped twice, both easy catches. Talk of Pakistan's attack looking weak yesterday was just so far off. With Wahab and a legspinner they look like they can clean up a tail on a regular basis too.

True. Can go both ways too. What is Root doesn't play a dumb **** shot etc. What if Moeen isn't given out?

Why is it quite good, don't think we can win this unless we bowl them out for under 200, unless they bat terribly that won't happen. I think we are going 1-0 down, hope I am wrong though.
you and scaly are frickin entertaining. it is quite good.

Important job here for the openers. If they can get up towards a fifty partnership then they can start taking the game away from England.

If nothing else, they just need to see off as much of the new ball as possible. Moeen isn't causing any problems, so once the shine is off the ball England basically relying on another beaut of a Woakes spell.

Would have been a completely different match if Misbah wasn't dropped either.

How is it gambhiring to state that this is not evenly poised when we are 67 runs behind after the first innings having been demolished by a spinner on a day 2 pitch. :mellow:

Is it just because Pakistan? I'm genuinely confused.
This game can go either way. One thing that is unlikely though is a draw in my view. And it's not just because it's Pakistan. Test matches like these happen all the time.
