The wicket is very flat but don't want to let the game drift after doing all the hard work

Nicely bowled by Leach there.
And again.
Good performance there from the Empire, let's see what it holds for their bowlers.
Pakistan will want to get bowling as quick as possible, whereas we'll be wanting a call on the light. It's important to not lose any wickets before the close.
yeah all three games have looked really gloomy at this kind of time, not pleasant to come in to bat when its like this. Not a big score though, it will depend if Pakistan's spinners can get sharper turn. It's another pudding for the quicks.
Could see that coming a mile away
Crawley still absolutely crap then. A pointless endeavour

The rain, it raineth every day
Highlights :
These breezy 20s and 30s don't win test matches. We need someone to bed in and get big 100s. We're only on day 2.
Test matches only need 2 days on a Gabba green top. Guarantee it'll be a road next season.
Good match this. Have Pakistan in front but that could change very quickly.
Chill out boycott, we are saving test cricket
I was watching with my son until 160(ish) for five, and I thought we'd probably struggle to get too much above 200. Come back for tea, and it's 254-5.
It'd be a huge moral boost to get beyond the Pakistan first innings after what was resembled a mini-collapse of the top order.
Anything within 20 would be a moral boost, leave us in a decent position and probably cause Pakistan to have some nerves.
