Me neither. Listened to the whole match and thought India batted pretty well in the end but England just demolished them to the point India seemed to give up. I'm hoping they've saved some shots for the final.

I'm thinking about a one day subscription to NOW TV to watch the match...

Or you could watch it for free on C4!

Yesterday England had the runs
Today they are in the runs.

I think it is great to be playing Tests in Pakistan again, but Pakistan are a bit rusty, I think...

Potentially the fasted ever England 100 coming up.... But not quite.

Still, 500 runs in a day's not bad.

. . . but the pitch has a lot to do with it - interesting to see what happens when Pakistan are batting?

Jaded · « **Reply #2687 on:** 01 December, 2022, 06:36:14 pm »

Commentary seemed to be saying that the bowlers were a bit wayward. I think Pakistan had four new caps in the side.

Anyway, we will have Jimmy Anderson

(who incidentally, is the only England player to have played Test Cricket in Pakistan before)

Bold declaration...

Jaded · « **Reply #2692 on:** 04 December, 2022, 04:14:04 pm »

Trying to make Test cricket interesting and not pointless.

Good start by England, and more wickets have fallen in the mornings. Tomorrow looks interesting...

andyoxon · « **Reply #2693 on:** 04 December, 2022, 06:22:38 pm »

I was surprised that bowling short deliveries with the new ball, was a new & radical tactic. Seemed to work though.

De Sisti · « **Reply #2694 on:** 04 December, 2022, 06:49:05 pm »

Having scored over 600 runs in their first innings, surely England should not lose the match.
But they could.

Jaded · « **Reply #2695 on:** 05 December, 2022, 12:06:07 am »

They are playing interesting and exciting Test cricket.

To put themselves in a position where they could not lose would be dull, predictable and continue the slow death of Test cricket.

andyoxon · « **Reply #2696 on:** 05 December, 2022, 09:42:57 am »

Declrn looking a tad too bold, atm.

andyoxon · « **Reply #2697 on:** 05 December, 2022, 11:04:38 am »

Things looking up now.

Jaded · « **Reply #2698 on:** 05 December, 2022, 11:21:23 am »

Very interesting!

And that will now go down as one of the best declarations in history.
