34 needed and still can't say if England will make it.

Excellent test match so far. England doing a damn fine job of clawing their way back in.

 

[3WA]

Great match! Two thoroughly entertaining teams. Well played England.

 

[Whright]

Well done England, what a come back.

Not going to happen. If there's one thing the last century of test matches has taught us it is that chasing in excess of 250 in the 4th innings hardly ever happens.

 

[Speedster]

Well done England. Didn't expect that and pretty sure the British press will give this win full value

 

[WaxLyrical]

Didn't expect that although the target was miniscule

Was a proper pakistan game.

Sad that Stokes is out. He is definitely a joy to watch.

England are already missing Ben Stokes. Two catches offered by Abid Ali to the slip cordon and both were put down, one by Sibley and other by Burns.

The sort of player I do not like much. But he gives 100% and grinds his way to success. In any team, he adds stability and depth.

We've been on the receiving end of Stokes a few times too many! But he does make stuff happen.

PAK 120/5

Pakistan are doing what they do best; capitulate meekly

Stumps day 2: 223/9 (86)

Still amazes me why cricket is played in England. The only relief is that they did not have a stadium full of people to washout That said, if this had been in a country without rain falling gently on the plains, the game would probably have been over already

 

[sand_man]

And another day lost!! Damn it man!! For months we been starved of sport! Now this!

 

[sand_man]

Finally some cricket, fck me!! And only 2 overs into England's innings and it already looks like they just trying to survive...

 

[sand_man]

And off for bad light/light rain!!!! Bwahahahahaha.... stuff up man!! Damn it!!
