Englands reviewing has been poor today. Missed an opportunity with the last LBW shout, and they just gambled their last one away with that edge that never was.

Usual solid opening partnership for England, Crawley out for a duck, currently 27-1. Ollie Robinson still not fit, Overton ill, so debuts for Mahmood and Matthew Fisher.
Pakistan batted two days to escape with a draw against Australia. They were pretty close to winning, needing 506 to win they finished on 443-7, Babar Hazan out for 196, the second longest score in a 4th innings of a test . They do like flat pitches in Pakistan.

Solid start by England, 265-3, Root 126, Stokes 14.
Boring match. Both bowling attacks are terrible and the pitch is awful. Typical as it’s one of the few overseas games that’s on at a decent time.
Test cricket at its worst.
