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

[The Professor]

England's innings was the first in Lord's Test history in which no overs were bowled by right-arm seamers.

[Aidan11]

Nice catch, Cookie.


Woakes gets another in the match.

[Aidan11]

Bat hit the ground.

Good decision not to review that one.

[Making_Splinters]

Well that was a trifle silly from the skipper.

[ianp1970]

The very bottom of a bottom edge.

[hopeforthebest]

Another, the last, referral bites the dust.

[Arthur Crabtree]

England on top?

Game has swung again.

[hopeforthebest]

Watching the verdict this morning they were talking about Woakes as if he'd just arrived from another planet 3 months ago and Michael Holding holds the same view. The lack of Knowledge about the county game from the SKY people and pundits in general is criminal.

[backfootpunch]

Terrible decision from the umpire to give younus out

Never looked out

[hopeforthebest]

Terrible Umpiring decision, It was clearly too high and probably missing leg with the naked eye. This umpire is LBW happy.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woakes has been in the England side for 5+ years, so not knowing the county game can't be a reason for not being familiar with him.

[Aidan11]

I agree with Gower...if he's thinking that long he must have some doubt, so give it not out.

[Aidan11]

That wicket would have had Pakistan 75/5 and owuld likely have made England favourites to knock the rest over and go for the win.

[Arthur Crabtree]

It's usual to say chasing more than 250 is in the bowlers' favour in the last innings. But Lord's usually just gets flatter. Chasing 250 might still be in England's favour.

Anything below 300 and we are well in the game

The problem we have is broad and Woakes can't bowl all the time
