Same mate, I’m being generous when I say 230. You a fan of Crawley then?

Thought him and Pope looked really promising. Couldn't understand us weakening the batting so much with our selection. 

[Captain Turdseye]

If we somehow bowl these out and there’s even the slightest possibility of us chasing it down, we’ll be all out for less than 100. This is England. 

[Jairzinho]

Archer always seems to be on a different planet in the field.

[Rico1304]

Play the best wicket keeper and it’s a completely different game. 

[Jairzinho]

Buttler though. Fucking hell. 

[Jairzinho]

25 minutes of positive batting has taken this away from us.

Could not have been worse if he’d played blindfolded

Yes, it’s goodnight Vienna now

[Jairzinho]

Another gift. 

 

Great work from the umpire sending that upstairs. Only out by a yard or so.

[Captain Howdy]

Ridiculous single,  as good as they are Pakistan sure do like some slapstick.

[Jairzinho]

These umpires. Fucking hell. That was stone dead plumb.

 

Anyway, looks like we're chasing about 240. 9/10/11 here wouldn't get a half century playing club cricket.

[Captain Turdseye]

I put £20 on Pakistan just before those two wickets. 
 

*sigh*

It only takes Shah to smack 20 or 30 and they'll be back in the driving seat.

 

I think we could chase 240, but struggle with 260/270.

 

Stokes will need to get at least 70/80 of them obviously.

[Captain Howdy]

Pakistan are winning this, their attack is good.

[Captain Turdseye]

If I’d have waited I’d have got better odds! That said, I spent a couple of minutes toying with the idea of lumping a lot more than £20 on so I’m relieved too. 

[Captain Howdy]

Good test match this though

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, and fair play to the ground staff. Great wicket this, especially considering it's the third game there in a few weeks.

Me too , cost me a fortune but still waiting for one of those spare medals

Wasim looks like a Bond villain with those shades.

Looking forward to today immensely. Already advised the missus to expect nothing from me. Of course we all know we'll be 5 down at lunch and I'll be down the park with the kids. Or Yasir smacks 70 off 50 balls....

[Vincent Vega]

Why is Root bowling Archer? Get Anderson and Broad on, you know the lads who have over 1000 wickets between them. 

[Jairzinho]

Tight start from Archer.

[Gnasher]

Test match cricket and horse racing from ascot, add fermented apples and life dosnt seem that bad.

I didn't bother advising mine, from long, painful experience she knows that she'll get fuck all from me over a weekend. Or during the week, to be honest.
