Great super smashing lovely.
The forecast for Brizzle ain't looking great for tomorrow, is Mendip back in the UK
Decider underway. The convicts won the toss and put England in to bat.
I know it's all money, but that Broady wine advert is very fucking cringe.
Not a complete disaster but 306ao after being 202/2 is shit.
Travis Head = Could become one of the best allrounders of all time.
Coverage of the Pakistan vs England test series starts at noon today, on Sky Sports.
Pakistan win the toss and looking strong; 122 for 1 at lunch after 25 overs.
Pah!
This is just normal test cricket!![]()
Well, England have had some success in this third session, but it's been Pakistan's day.
Good toss to win.
Pakistan 299-3 off 75 overs.
15 overs left today.
Eng finally get the last wicket after benny Hill music plating for most of the session. Root bowls a bouncer to get the final wicket and Duckett does his thumb on the catch. Not going well for Eng. Well probably collapse in a heap on this Multan road.
So the last ball of Paks inning sees Duckett injured and Pope has to open. This could get messy with the Pak quicks.
Last time Loot batted in Multan he was wearing a nappy. Due to a dose of the Delhis.![]()
So 2 wickets down, both thrown away on this Multan road. Eng 324 behind with Root on 72 which means he passes Alistair Cooke on the all time Test runs score board and moves up to 5, next target is the wall but he's a way off. Test MAtch Special is having a lunch session devoted to Roots career to date
So, a draw then.
Understandable that the groundsman produced a road in the circumstances.
Joe Root has been off the field for 8 balls of this game so far.

Have to say Pak bowlers struggling on this road make our inexperienced line ups efforts look good.
There looked to be a decent balance in that attack.
Now, second test let's have it reversing for a bowling Ben Stokes.![]()
Will Eng have a dart and knock off the deficit before the close just to rub it in![]()
Blimey.
With his 317 #HarryBrook becomes the third Englishman to bat for 322 balls in a Test. The first, Geoff Miller, made 98, also against Pakistan, in 1977; the second, Graham Thorpe, made 84 against West Indies in 1998.
^Good stat, which speaks volumes.
Chris Woakes is doing pretty well, a long way from Edgbaston.
Pakistan's recent second innings scores have been disastrous.
