Yeah, it's a shame - so many great players in that relatively short period since their return.

Alan Donald & Hashim Amla my two personal favorites.

Some player, this Brook.

Hope the captain hasn’t been put off.

Another good century from Brook to steady England. Game's still open at the moment.

As usual Tea makes the breakthrough, still a great knock by Brooks, Rehan on debut was a bit silly. 3 left 22 to level

edit

make that 14, Wood having some fun

The Gabba are going to be unhappy about only two days revenue…

England will be happy with that. More so than having to bat last I fancy.

Couple of wickets before close, please.

So effectively they're 3/2 then.

Azhar retires on a duck.

Leach is having a morning.

54/3, a lead of 4.

Pakistan have never been whitewashed on home soil.

The youngster is introduced and bags a couple of wickets.

Five wickets down for a lead of 126.

And another one for the teenager. A lead of 127 with six down.

After the first innings Rehan has a very respectable 22 ave.

God Lord Faheem has a hack at Root and throes it away, mindless given the situation.

7 down for a lead of 128.

Realistically it's England's to throw away now.

England require 167 to complete a commendable series whitewash.

Rehan with 5 on debut, are they going T20 at this, lets hope so

Yes, well done to Rehan Ahmed, youngest player to get 5 wickets on his debut.

England, with 8 from the 1st over and an hour left to play...


...(and 2 more days of course)

Pakistan are already beaten. Even Crawley's scoring.

97 more runs needed for a historic whitewash.

^ A little harsh, he's still young and a great batsman. England seem to have slowed down a little, 71-0 from 9 overs and still need 96 to win. A tall order to accomplish tonight!

As I said, he's played 30 test matches. How many does he need to prove himself?

I was hoping for a closer affair after the first innings but a historic away win taking the series 3-0 is a great result, provided they get the 55 required

England won by 8 wickets. Too quickly for Duckett to get to 100.
Nothing to watch on tv this afternoon.

Yes, I didn't think there was much hope of it finishing after I got home from lunch.

Today Dean Elgar became only the third player in test history to make 5,000 runs without ever being run out.



And then promptly got himself run out.
