England's Winter Tour Of Test Cricket ...

[TheLoneRanger]

Fifty-two overs in two sessions, twenty-three of them spin!

Absolutely incredible. No wonder the crowds are low.

Watch how long it takes for Root to bowl an over of spin.

Boycott's favourite saying.

2 tired looking batsmen shots.

Atkinson looks as though he's sunburnt.

Fifty-two overs in two sessions, twenty-three of them spin!

Absolutely incredible. No wonder the crowds are low.

And people wonder as to how the shorter game is getting more popular, there's your answer the "purists" won't agree though, people go to be entertained not to fall asleep

They lost 4 overs even with an extra 30 minutes added on at the end, more of the same today...

Pakistan 556/10

Looks like Duckett dislocated his thumb taking the final catch.

England. 4/1

 

[Swanjaxs]

Root can thank the inside edge of his bat there

 

[Cooperman]

Poor old Olly Pope. Spends two hot days chasing the ball around, gets a very late shuffle up the order and then gets out to a second ball worldie.

 

[Cooperman]

Joe Root moves up to fifth on the list of most runs scored in Tests. Rahul Dravid is his next target, he’s about 800 behind with Kallis and Ponting also within easy reach.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Root becomes England's leading run scorer, and becomes the first player to cross the 5000 run landmark in the ICC World Test Championship.

He is also the highest Test run scorer of the 21st Century.

This game is following a very similar trajectory so far to the first test last time England were in Pakistan.
