England v Pakistan
-
It’s pace here on out for the Poms. The spin simply wasn’t getting it done.

28 overs left and tail to bowl to. Poms will get it done.

A very very good win for England. An aggressive batting approach and declaration. Pakistan batted pretty damn well in both innings all things considered. Ollie bowled brilliantly.

Here we go. Final session. 86 runs needed by Pakistan. 5 wickets for England
Win, loss, draw and even tie are all on.
great setup - pity Pakistan Pakistanned and fell in a heap.
Well done England. Pace was the answer all day
-
England rollicking along.
Fascinating call though - Dar gave English batsman out on the field - but the bat hit the ground a tthe same time the ball hit the pad. He was really not convinced - asked the TMO to go back and check again.
Genuinely ambiguous - but if given out on the field, how do you overturn?

Abrar gets the first 5 wickets on the first day of his first ever test match.
England going at 5.5 rpo with 167 in the first session

@nzzp much better than that Aussie test.

I just grabbed some popcorn to watch two spinners at work. It's a cliche. I'm a cliche. Don't judge.

Abrar gets his 6th by dismissing Stokes.
RR still over 5 and Jacks looks set.

nothing competes with a 4th innings chase in world sport.
England need 5 wickets, Pakistan 80 runs. It looks to have tilted Pakistan's way ... but test cricket is a nightmare. Two quick wickets and it's over.
Engrossing chase here
Yeah agreed, a good fourth innings is the pinnacle.
Always interesting when the 4th innings total is the biggest in the game (Pakistan having just gone past England's total in the first innings). Makes you think that they probably both left a few runs in their first digs. I wonder who will regret it more.

Another exciting test match. Another valiant chase by Pakistan but the England quicks got it done.
2-0 in Pakistan is no small feat.

before this series they had won two tests in Pakistan.
That was a tremendous win for them - BazBall keeps rolling

yep, can't argue with the results, ENgland are on a roll, and 3-0 in Pakistan is huge
but holy shit the fawning over "bazball" is fucking nauseating
you would think no one had played test cricket positively before. It's like everyone has forgotten the Australians even exist.
