    Tavare would have been 17 not out.

    I's a good track.

      In the first world cup in 1975 Gavasker scored 36 not out. He batted through the whole 60 overs😬

          Stokes hits his first ball of the day for six and then is out in the same over. Livingstone hits his seventh ball in test cricket for six, but then is out for a less than a run a ball nine. Having hit six fours off an over yesterday and setting a new record for most runs in an over by an England player, Broo153 promptly broke it by hitting two sixes, three fours and a three off an over. This means that Brook scored exactly a third of his runs in two overs!

          England 649-8 off 98 overs with a review going on of an LBW decision against Robinson - decision goes against him, 649-9.

            That stat is staggering. I questioned your maths. I got the calculator out, the sums add up. I saw it happen and yet I still question and disbelieve your stat.

            A third of 153 runs hit in two overs. It’s nuts.

            Can’t stop thinking of what my late Grandfather would make of it. It’s the kind of cricketing story of old he used to regale when I was a kid.

            A mind blowing innings. By both player and team.

              The commentators were taking the mick out of Nasser Hussein because it took him six yesrs to hit his first test match six - Mike Atherton has said that he only hit four sixes in his whole career.

                Three wickets for the England spinners today, but I wonder if the "Rawalpindi Express" Shoaib Akhtar (who was officially recorded as bowling a ball at 100 mph to Nick Knight about twenty five years ago) would have bothered if he had to do all of his bowling in his home city on this featherbed of a pitch.

                  This is not a contest between bat and ball but an exhibition of batting.

                  Lost interest in this match .

                    Pakistan 499-7 at the close, just a chance of a positive result then if England can take the last three wickets quite quickly tomorrow.

                      Not been able to watch any of today’s play. And I get what you’re saying. Had a day off yesterday and had long planned enjoying a day’s play but I lost interest as it was not a contest and boring.

                      However…….

                      These are are the games where something happens deep into Day 4 / start of Day 5 and the game turns into an absolute blinder.

                      Not giving up on it yet, but have got fingers crossed that it hots up tomorrow and doesn’t need a fifth day as I’m in work. (Fat chance of that 🤣)

                          Maybe because it's officially the England and Wales cricket team. Ok the last Welshman to play was Simon Jones in 2005 but hope springs eternal!

                                Do you think that people living somewhere like Antigua will stop supporting The Windies if they don't produce a test cricketer for a while?
