1st Test England v Pakistan, Lord's 14-18 July

[sussexpob]

6 for Woakes... Wahab goes straight away.

[Dr Cricket]

Over rates?

yeah, 3 overs short so far and could be more in the 2nd innings.

[Dr Cricket]

be interesting to see how Amir bats, spent a lot of time in the nets/practising batting during his ban, but of course didn't face too many quick or good bowlers during his time off.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done to Woakesy. No sledging from Chris either. Seems to play the game in a good spirit.

[sussexpob]

Broad castles Misbah.... Pakistan will be batting by noon

Good fiery over this

[budgetmeansbudget]

This collapse is worrying me in terms of our batting to come.

Well done to Woakes, he has certainly upped his game in the past year.

[hopeforthebest]

Exceptional from Woakes, tremendous from Broad.

Well done to Woakesy. No sledging from Chris either. Seems to play the game in a good spirit.

never actually seen him sledge before.

[braveneutral]

Odds on Pakistan 350 still?

We ain't the best when it comes to disposing of the tenth wicket.

Amir having a swish... could happen. Although Shah looks like a guy who has only just found out what his bat is for.

[Arthur Crabtree]

From cricinfo- Misbah hasn't scored a Test ton in a loss.

[braveneutral]

Broad seems to be bowling with intent but now Yasir getting involved.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Given the venue and the pitch, looks a good effort from England.

[budgetmeansbudget]

From cricinfo- Misbah hasn't scored a Test ton in a loss.

And teams making 300+ in the first innings at Lords have only lost three times in 67 tests.
