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

[Aidan11]

I've had enough.


Somebody get me another set of players.

The players are waiting for the outrage bus.

Well they can bloody well pay to get on it.

I thought I'd give this game a rest and listen to Yorkshire losing wickets instead in hope things would get better but if anything it's getting worse with every delivery. I'm amazed that Moeen is allowed to bowl at over 6 runs an over.

[alfie]

Moeen very nearly does the trick...but cannot hang onto the return catch.

Just not looking like England's day , is it ? Still not quite half way to the England total : but you'd think they need to have three or four wickets in the evening session to be back in the contest ; and its hard to see where they're coming from at the moment.

[Aidan11]

Can we get more cameras on the boundary edge to distract the batsmen?

[alfie]

Azhar now top scorer in the match...Pakistan well on top...

And enough for me.... Bedtime . Try and dream up a batting collapse...

Don't dream it up, conjure it up.

3 wickets needed in the final session

Otherwise we will be a long way behind the game

[Dr Cricket]

Any idea why warne like Ali bowling.

[Gingerfinch]

Looks like it's been an old fashioned grind out from Pakistan.

[Aidan11]

They've put on about 90 runs since that Root drop shortly after lunch.

[Aidan11]

I'm glad I'm not watching this.

[Aidan11]

Now they're toying with us. 6 off Moeen.

[hopeforthebest]

I posed the possibility of Pakistan winning here and going on to draw at the Oval to win the series. Maybe such a happening is just what the England selectors need to look at their selections.

Hants 181/0

Pakistan 181/1

Two unexpected scores!

[backfootpunch]

Azhar Ali what have you done

Such a shame for the young lad

But he looks to be an excellent young player
