Streakiest 4 for Crawley to bring up his 200. Well done lad ?

and, its a double ton against a very capable and dangerous bowling attack too ... yep, excellent from Crawley

 

[Sarge]

Another first for Zak Crawley in this test match ... he notches up over 200 , .......then gets his first test match maximum boundary , hitting Shah for 6

 

[Sarge]

Blimey, Crawley passes 250 .... England 466-4

declaration at 500, perhaps?

 

[Essexyellows]

Keep going until one of them goes?

 

[Essexyellows]

Or not.... Crawley gone for 267.......going for 500 it seems.... let Buttler get his 150?

Gutted for the lad. But, looked like there was a lapse in patience.

superb innings that was from Crawley.... hopefully Buttler will (get to) reach (at least) his 150

 

[Essexyellows]

490-5.......... tea.
Get the 500 up and have a few balls at them?

 

[Essexyellows]

Going for Buttlers 150 then call them in?? Who knows...............

 

[Essexyellows]

Buttlers 150 up................. still going......... 527-5..

 

[Sarge]

Aaaaand Buttler gets his 150 ( passing his own PB batting total)

Aaaaand Buttler gets his 150 ( passing his own PB batting total)

.... and now he's gone (152) ...decent knock that

 

[Essexyellows]

530-6 ....Buttler gone...... dollied it back to the bowler.

 

[Sarge]

still no declaration? 550 maybe , or Woakes 50 ( if he gets there - 10 needed)

ooops Woakes gone now

 

[Sarge]

Tough call ...declare now ( but your keeper has been out there all day) ... or send in a fast bowler ( that's all that's left to bat)

 

[Essexyellows]

547-7................... must be going for 550 and have a go at them ?

 

[Sarge]

Broady going out for a bat it is then

 

[Sarge]

559 -7 ..... up on the England balcony some of the players are still wearing Blue training tops, not whites, maybe Root is looking to aim to bat to close of play today and then declare? ... or maybe he'll declare with 10-15 overs play left today, and put a very tired Pakistan in to bat for half hour or so?
