Wackies may still push 600 if Agha gets support from the last 2.

by lardbucket Tue 08 Oct 2024, 11:47

Nope. 556. Root grabs the last pole, so at least all the English bowlers had some reward for their efforts. Over to the batsmen now, as tired as they must be after 150 overs in that heat.

Duckett injured and hasn't opened the batting.

by lardbucket Tue 08 Oct 2024, 13:37

What’s his injury?

by Basil Tue 08 Oct 2024, 16:05

He got hit on the thumb, taking a catch. He hasn't gone for a scan so perhaps it isn't broken.

So England look like being down a batsman for the Test now.

Won't matter. This will be a high-scoring Draw.

by lardbucket Wed 09 Oct 2024, 06:06

Play has resumed, and England passes 100 one down.

That was a decent catch if you've not yet seen it!

pitch is ****** FLAT

So Duckett wasn't so badly hurt? He's powering along atm, with Root.

by lardbucket Wed 09 Oct 2024, 08:01

Should we just call him Limerick?

by Nath Wed 09 Oct 2024, 08:31

England might be near level (or ahead?) by stumps

by lardbucket Wed 09 Oct 2024, 10:33

Root has now surpassed Cook for Test runs scored.

Dravid is the next target.

by Basil Wed 09 Oct 2024, 14:23

Immense performance by Root and Brook. Root could barely stand by close of play due to cramp.

by Lost Wombat Wed 09 Oct 2024, 17:44

pretty rare for a england batter to bat the whole full day in a test. bet root was the last to do Wink

Congrats to Joe.

714/4 (did I really just type that?).

by skully Thu 10 Oct 2024, 09:27

Congrats to Joe on his 262.

I'm happy to be corrected but I reckon this innings is the first time 5 bowlers have conceded over 100 runs.

Defo the 1st time 6 bowlers have conceded 100 runs each in the innings.

by Basil Thu 10 Oct 2024, 10:11

823/7 declared. But it needs to be said that pitches like this will kill test cricket as much as any amount of franchise tournaments.

Anyway, congrats to Harry Brook. I wonder if that's the quickest ever triple ton in tests?

by Nath Thu 10 Oct 2024, 10:19

lol and whacky-stan lose a wicket first ball of the 2nd inngs

by Basil Thu 10 Oct 2024, 10:19

....and Pakistan lose their first wicket to the first ball. You couldn't make it up.

by Basil Thu 10 Oct 2024, 10:31

Two difficult chances dropped.

by Basil Thu 10 Oct 2024, 11:13

Shan Masood hands his wicket away ever so politely. Poor bugger's brain is probably scrambled.

by Fred Nerk Thu 10 Oct 2024, 11:34

550 plus and lose by an innings? You're having a lend....
