For goodness' sake tree-straw. There goes another one. Vince looking as dodgy as I've always thought he did.

Strictly speaking, Vince looks excellent, its simply the quanity of runs that is lacking. (And his catching, I suppose)

His bowling's great though.
Gary goes likewise, and Yasir Shah will feel on top of the world. Terrible this. It's like all the middle order (and opener) selections and reselections had never happened.

I'm making a few quid today by being very pessimistic about England's middle order against the betting market. It's not failed yet, unlike said batsmen...

Oh dear. We really needed Cook to score a ton there.

I beg your pardon in advance, but OMG DOES CHRIS WOAKES NOT HAVE THE MOST ADORABLE ROSY CHEEKS IN THE WORLD WHEN HE'S BATTING?! <3 We now return you to our regular broadcast already in progress.

He is also England's only remaining hope of making a decent score. That said, his batting does seem to have improved dramatically. I would expect 270, but if he plays out of his skin and Broad (who has a point to prove on this ground against this opposition where batting is concerned) doesn't get out in his first ten balls tomorrow, they might push 300. Coming from where they were, that'll feel like a win.

10 wickets so far and the average has dropped under 30, what a match for Woakes. Keep going, lad!

Three days ago Woakes had a bowling average of 41.25.
It's currently 28.18. What an effort.

Pakistan definitely in the box seat. Still, game on.

Oh, Vince. More work needed in first class cricket for sure.

Great test. Bit disappointed with Root with the two irresponsible shots but I suppose you can't always expect him to perform.
Can't wait for the next match, I'll be attending the first two days. Should be great!
