A decent morning from England - good that they got to lunch just the one down. Need to pressure the PAK fielders and run them around the field as they are not the most athletic team.
This feels like a game where Root get at least a 50 and someone else can support him. A big partnership will win this game for England if the rest aren't silly
no rush ... wear the bowlers down ... there's the rest of today , and tomorrow to play yet .... bat sensibly and this is winnableThe chase seems to be in a bit of a lull at the moment, we need to be finding a way to rotate the strike and keep the scoreboard ticking.
I'm not so much worried about the time, if you aren't moving forwards it only takes a wicket or 2 to change things. No point being 100-3 in 2 hours time after 50 overs. And that's before you factor in the ball starting to reverse, which can't be too far away.no rush ... wear the bowlers down ... there's the rest of today , and tomorrow to play yet .... bat sensibly and this is winnable
Sibley gone. Need a classic captain’s innings here.
b****r ... Root gone ... back in Pakistan's favour atm, England need a couple of batsmen to put on a ton or so between themOops
Bloody hell, not that I could see it coming or anything. Dig in lads.it only takes a wicket or 2 to change things. No point being 100-3
