Not sure why they're going on about declaring. It's not about entertaining you Shane, lad.

To be fair i think its time to start throwing the bat now. 530 on the board and Pakistan cant win from here.

Gave by far and away the best BLM educational speech too. Very intelligent, likeable chap.

Hairs stood up on my neck when he made that speech

Great knock, should probably be declaring now, i can't see root enforcing the follow on anyway should they not make it amyway to give the bowlers some rest, so quicker they get out there the better.

Its more to do with the weather which is why id want us to declare tbh.

I guess so, but whether we win 1 or 2-0 it's about winning the series for me. Also have a feeling we'll blow them away with such scoreboard pressure but we'll see.

 

[Blue Shoes]

Yeah id have at least an hour at them, will be good to get past 500, haven't done that much for years.

Unsurprised that trigger finger illingworth was the man giving buttler out on 99.

First time in 3 years

Yeah, there's no right or wrong way of looking at it imo.

2 Pakistan batsmen injuries in 2 balls, just stay out there for now ha

Yasir is no Fawad 2-38 vs 2-156

Get them in now Root.

Have an hour at them.

In decence of carrying on, it's at this stage you can get a lot of quick runs that would be harder when you're batting again. We can get 50 in 7 overs here for example it takes Pakistan 20 overs maybe and 1 or 2 wickets to just wipe that out.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I think this is enough runs lol

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Can't play for the weather, we've seen how reliable forecasts are today when we were promised no interruptions.

We don't need to win this test. 13 overs tonight is plenty. If it rains all day Tuesday declaring earlier wouldn't help much. The forecast is iffy Monday too, so we could only have one day left if we're playing to the weather forecasts and a draw inevitable.

Apparently, when Crawley walked off, every single Pakistani fielder approached him to say Well Played.

Cricket is ace.
