And now we have a rank turner

Might as well just play on the same pitch, it might do something by day 8.

I guess we only needed day 6.

A raging bunsen, as Steve Finn described such a pitch on yesterday's TMS podcast.

Just seen the cracks on the pitch. Ludicrous.

Doesn't seem to have played that badly. Largely Pakistan's day, though the scoring rate is pretty shit. England will have been delighted with that fifth wicket, but will need to bowl better tomorrow and bat on a pitch that will definitely get worse.

England Women let that one slip...

England inability to finish off the tail… rinse, repeat.

I'm encouraged by it.

This pitch looks battable, as does the now complete lack of seam bowlers in the Pakistan team.

A rerun of the Harry and Joe show would be most entertaining.

That is a peach

Not even 400, and scored slowly.
Ben Stokes would have taken that after losing the toss.
Bat until Bryden Carse tells him he feels rested enough to start dismantling the Pakistani 2nd innings.

Early days but I'm not sure just one seamer was a good idea for Pakistan

Talk about a lifeline

Awful from Sajid

From teamwork disaster to teamwork makes the dream work.

A rerun of the Harry and Joe show would be most entertaining.

102 for 1 and we still have these gentlemen and a certain Mr Stokes to come.

Lahverly

Ashes dates announced, a pink ball day/night test also.
possibly the best chance to get a hand on the urn in a while?...

Collapso. Oh dear. Stokes & Smith to come though.

102 for 1 and we still have these gentlemen and a certain Mr Stokes to come.

That aged well.

Oof.

Ouch.

Fack.

I liked the comment "turning like a day 7 wicket"

Hahaha

Eng can't be scoring 800 every time they play in Multan.

Well at least I can laugh at India

Oh, Duckett.
In both senses.

Its over
