England 2017

[BrettieAngell]

It's not looking too good at the moment!

We badly need the new ball to do something .

Yeah, it's not been a good day for us. Pakistan close on 257-3. Our only piece of small luck was taking a wicket with the very last ball of the game.

If we don't claim a few early wickets tomorrow, and they bat through all of tomorrow, I can see them having a 200+ lead & we could be in a real danger of losing this test, and the best we can hope for is drawing the series.

Fantastic and an unlikely win for England today, I thought this had a draw written all over it this morning, especially when Pakistan were around 120-3.

Very pleasing win - well done to the team.

Got tickets for The Oval on Saturday, so I'm hoping for a third day win for England to put a seal on the series :smile:

Spent a very enjoyable 2 days up in Birmingham! Well worth the trip!

:thumbsup:

Whats going on at the Oval? from 68-1 to 74-4 :sad: Hoping Bairstow and Moeen can steady the ship.


EDIT: Good recovery on the whole, thanks to Ali's 108 for us to finish on 328, and a quick wicket to leave Pakistan on 3-1 at the end of play.

A few drops this morning. Poor. Good game so far - next session is quite critical to this game I think.

England 400-3 in the 47th over!

 

[Pubey]

What's the betting we'll still lose?

 

[AndyT]

World record final total! :cool:

444-3

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Great stuff.

My one fear is this England team is peaking too soon. We've given the rest of the world 4 years to catch up by unleashing it immediately after the world cup. I don't think any side in the world can live with this batting line-up when it fires though. And there's room to improve it too with Sam Billings in for the brilliant Joe Root.

A good summer for England all told then. And to cap it off, a quiz for you to enjoy (I hope)

I'm a ****ing idiot. That'll teach me for buggering about on here when I should have been listening to the conference call I was on!

 

[Chocolardo]

Kent have lost! Surely nothing can go wrong now! I make it 5 points for the title!

A little bit of overexcitement is permitted at such times :thumbsup:

Finally got around to doing this and maybe it's my browser, but after entering my 'player name' I can't click and enter anything in any of the question boxes. Am I doing it wrong?
