Second Test: England v Pakistan, Headingley

[KipperJohn]

Who in their infinite wisdom made this a two test series?

Is it really more important to play so many ODI matches against Australia and India than to schedule a third test?

Certainly against Australia- what’s the point of coming all this way for a ODI series?

Curran goes to a good catch.

[yuppie]

And its going to be a very weak australian ODI team as well. Not worth coming at all.

Butler making some very vital runs here. Second 50 in the series. Questionable selection but hes done alright.

Jos has raced to 66 from 97 balls.

He has set the match for England to win with this knock.

[yuppie]

I refuse to believe that Broad ever made a test match 50, let alone a test match hundred.

Australia , England and India bring most revenue. The matches between these three teams are very good in that aspect.

Butler just putting the final nail in the coffin here.

[meninblue]

14 off last 3 balls of Faheem's over.

[yuppie]

Shame that had to end, but well batted Butler, and a much improved performance from the English batsman

[meninblue]

189 runs lead. Probably England will not have to bat again.

Jos unbeaten on 80. Nice innings to extend the lead so that it puts a lot of pressure on Pak batters.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Shame that had to end, but well batted Butler, and a much improved performance from the English batsman

Still mainly a scorecard of starts though and only one fifty.

Well done to JB2.

[Durhamfootman]

seems to have gone better this time

[meninblue]

Just like Pak attack, there is no high pace in England's attack as well.

Very different to pace attacks of SA & India in terms of high pace. Lots of 145+ kph balls , some broken fingers (Faf), some injuries to batsmen hands.

[meninblue]

Bowled. Big wicket of Azhar Ali.

Now 189 will be like 250 plus.

[yuppie]

Could be all over this evening......

[meninblue]

England might win this by an innings.
