[Pies4shaw]

Pakistan is 8/546. Saud Shaekeel made 82. Salman Agha is 98* and Afridi is 25*. So far, this pair has put on 82 for the 9th wicket.

[Pies4shaw]

Now 9/549. Afridi is out for 26. Salman Agha is 100*.

[Donny]

Pak. 556.

Poms 1/64.

[Donny]

1/96. Crawley 64*.

[Pies4shaw]

England presently 3/492. Crawley made 78, Pope a duck, Duckett 84. Root is 176* and Brook is 141*. The partnership is just under 250, so far. The entire English innings has a RR of 4.87.

Who’d have thought Pakistan’s 556 was a collapse?

[Pies4shaw]

England declared on 7/823. Root didn’t get to 300. Brook did. Their partnership was 454. Pakistan are 2/29 in their second innings, apparently contriving to throw the Test after making 556 in their first dig.

[think positive]

wooohoooo!!!!

[Pies4shaw]

2nd Test, day 2. Pakistan was all out for 66. England is 1/82 (Crawley just gone for 27), on their way, no doubt, to victory by an innings and 500 runs.

[Pies4shaw]

Stumps, day 2. England 6/239, after a bit of a collapse. Duckett made 114. England was 2/211 before Root, Duckett, Brook and Stokes did the right thing.
