Interesting preparation from both sides. pakistan play a Test Match against Ireland plus a four day game against a county to get used to English conditions whilst England's two stroke makers warm up by playing 20/20 in India and arrive back here in the nick of time leaving no opportunity to remind themselves what red ball cricket is all about

Stokes was about the only one to make any runs apart from Cook and Buttler wouldn't even be in the test side were it not for his IPL exploits.

2, 3 and 4 got sod all runs despite playing for their counties prior to this test, where they've also been mostly getting sod all runs.

 


Optimistic as ever

Highlights on Quest (37) at 19:00 tonight.

Attacked from 80 km that is an amazing period for a cyclist to be alone in front.

Will be looking actually for the descent not just the climbing, of Finestra quite breathtaking according to the commentary.

It was quite amazing for modern day cycling, far better watch today than the cricket.

Feel sorry for Simon Yates 1st to 18th.

And we keep hearing about an inexperienced pakistan side with a fragile batting line-up !

The only thing that will save England from defeat is rain.

Maybe a little soon to say this but please let's get another captain. Root is not cut out for the role. He is our best batsman and we can't risk affecting this.

Couldn't agree more. Don't want the curse of captaincy to feck up our best player.

And whilst at it let's bring KP back!

What is the point of Wood?

Press commentators have said that he provides pace.....well Stokes bowled quicker than him yesterday.

Wood can bowl between 85 and 90 but he's not that scary fast and we have quicker. Olly Stone is probably the quickest in the country right now, capable of mid nineties stuff.

Mark Wood's average is over 41 after 11 tests.

Cook out for 1...

 


You're asking me what it's all about, and I can't tell you because I don't know what's going on myself.

England will need excellent technique to survive today, as the pitch is cracking up.

It is definitely not a 5 day test wicket, there were cracks noticed by commentators at the start of play !

Let's hope for some application and entertainment anyway, pakistan are actually a very good side.

Won't be from England !
And this comes on the back of abject displays in Australia and New Zealand.
It has been said that pakistan are a very inexperienced side with a fragile batting line-up.We have made them look like world beaters.
