Tri Series - Pakistan - Sri Lanka - England

[andy]

50 up after 11 overs...to be fair Pakistan haven't played a single spinner it looks flat and I think Brook will think he has enough spinners given he likes to give all the all rounders and part timers a bowl....he has Rashid and jacks...and then root if needed plenty of bowling options to be fair ..the pitch is just a typical pindi road

[Arthur Crabtree]

They might get reverse swing at the end. But they have more than enough pace options to cover that.

[andy]

Jack's gets Babar 59-3!

[andy]

Rashid warming up could be spin from both ends already

[andy]

Rashid comes on and first ball Salman pumps him over extra cover for four

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid's more of a wicket taker than someone who will block up an end.

[andy]

Agree but I wouldn't have taken jacks off he's bowled really well I would have just kept him going batters were going nowhere against him

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid's better at the back end of the innings when they are trying to hit every ball, rather than earlier when they can just wait for the bad delivery.

[andy]

Rashid gets Salman huge wicket! Nawaz comes in first ball launches him for huge 6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Anyway. he's got one!

[andy]

Jordan Cox's glovework seems to get better and better the more see of it! Especially up to the stumps it's outstanding

[andy]

Atkinson's had a shocking 10 mins...misfield leading to boundary and then drops simple catch off of jacks

[andy]

Makes amends comes on and gets Baig!

[andy]

After 34 overs and the one ball being used curran is finally into the attack....nawaz has been fantastic 66* from 58 balls...pitch is flat 300 par would think

[Arthur Crabtree]

Curran keeping the lid on, so far.
