3rd Test England v Pakistan, Edgbaston, Aug 3-7.

Gower talking about the difference between Woakes and Vince's off drives. What he didn't say is Woakes plays with an almost vertical bat, Vince's bat is at an angle which is far riskier.

That's exactly what I was thinking

Good ball

We're struggling to bat the day now

I heard on TMS someone saying the average first innings total here is 232, I don't know if that's test matches or CC games. England are ahead of the game then.

Just as well as Woakes gets a thin edge to the keeper. We could see Pakistan 3 down before the close this evening.

If we get similar bowling conditions you would back our bowlers to give us a lead

Id review that one

TMS saying not conclusive. I think Moeen Ali is going to be unlucky here as umpire gave it

[sussexpob]

So the ball hits the wicket, but as he gave him out for the catch he gets the benefit of the lbw on umpire call?

Bizarre rules..... we are trying to remove the howler, and he gets given an overturn when the ball is hitting the wickets.

It does make sense

Sort of

People wonder why test cricket is dying. I think the last 5 minutes shows one of the main reasons.

That decision is crazy

They finally catch one off Amir....

They finally catch one off Amir....

That's a shock.

Good catch too

When will TMS take Blofeld off the air. He makes Geoff Boycott seem remotely tolerable

It's about 20 years too late already.
