Great session this morning. Slightly one-sided after that

41/7 now, this is ridiculous.

They're obviously not the best batsmen anyway, but this is a great example of what a lack of test cricket and preference for T20 might do to a team. If they reach 50 I'll be mildly surprised.

We are making it look easier than the aussies

I forgot their best batsman hadn't come in yet, Umar Gul makes my prediction look daft in 3 balls

Just

Another one bites ther dust to a great catch from Collingwood!.

50/8.

Well at least they've managed to pass their lowest test score ever of 53 but, unless Pakistan improve dramatically in the batting department, this is going to prove to be a wasted series for England's bowlers.

10 Wickets for Jimmy Anderson!, when was the last time this was done by an English player?.

65/9.

Sidebottom. 10/139 v New Zealand at Hamilton, 2008

Pakistan 80 all out.

England win by 354 runs.

James Anderson 11/71

Anderson finishes with 11, Pakistan 80 ao.

I guess you can only beat what's in front of you, and we did that quite clinically.

England largest victory by runs in over 80 years!.

I'll take a wild stab in the dark that it will be James Anderson as man of the match

Batting needs to improve though. With the exception of a couple of players, the batting was pretty average.

Anyway, Morgan to be England's top run scorer in the test was 10/1 at Ladbrokes. Thank you very much.

Pakistan win the toss and bat first, everyone with a ticket for day 3 gets ready to send it off for a refund.

What was the point in sending for Yousaf when he pulls out citing "tiredness" when he gets here anyway??? And he hasn't practised outside for 10-15 days neither!!

Desperation?

Seems to be the motivation of the moment in Pakistani cricket.

This is farcical.

Bangladesh must be well hacked off that they only got two tests and this lot get four.

Can't field either

England all out with a lead of 179, Pakistan put down 7 catches.

23 overs left today, could still be a 2 day test the way they have batted.

Except for the poor light.

It must be a hard life being a Pakistani bowler. Asif was magnificent, but when you've no runs in the bank and are consistently failed by your fielders, it's got to get you down.

To be fair, you can see why he has a history of turning to drugs!

I wish Pakistan would give us a game when they are batting. Our bowlers need a better workout before the ashes. I worry that this series is making our bowlers think they are better than what they are. We all know English bowlers are great when it swings (arent most world class seam bowlers, Amir and asif are not doing bad too). But i worry about Anderson when it does not swing as he has not been great when it is flat. I worry about Broad because i feel the Aussies will wind him up and get under his skin. I worry about Finns lack of experience against proper batting attacks. I would even like Swann to get more overs under his belt. I just feel the Pakistan batting attack is giving our bowlers a false sense of how good they actually are. Couple this to our long batting card that struggles to put together regular 100s and iam nervous about the Ashes. I know they can only play against who they are put against but i wish the intesity was a lot higher in light of the winter tour coming up. I hope iam proved wrong.

Alternatively confidence will be sky high and winning is a nice habit to have



I'd rather go on an Ashes tour having won all 6 test matches over the summer then taken a humping from India or South Africa!!!
