Hales goes quickly after his skipper, must have missed him terribly.

Is Vince finally going to make a real contribution with a long innings and some valuable runs.

Did say ticket sales were crap for the most of the weekend.
A lot of the tickets for today also got sold during the last few weeks as well.

Slightly cheaper fourth day

Very cheap fifth

It's day 4, given how Test cricket has been going you wouldn't expect very strong sales, as noted elsewhere putting the last two days of a Test on the weekend is plain daft. Be interesting to see how the ground fills during the day with walk ins.

Don't know Birmingham were adamant that Pakistani fans were gonna turn up and basically they didn't turn up.
Surprised by the low ticket sales from Pakistani fans since it was marketed more to them this year and pak passion been promoting it as well.

If Vince cannot score off a non spinning pitch how on earth would he cope in India. If he goes on this way Pakistan will be delighted.

Maybe time to try and score a little quicker? Get a bit of a lead, maybe put Pakistan in tonight?

70 ahead, 8 wickets left.
