So here we are again; already! Pakistan into bat, playing two(!) spinners. Overcast conditions... what can Broad do in the first hour?

Edit: To add, will be interesting to see how a lacking match practice Pakistan line up fair against a blooded-in England side.

Stokes not bowling again, so theoretically we're a batsman short with this pick.

In reply to GrahamD:

Yeah, I really don't like the balance of this England team personally. Given how little use Bess got last time out I'd have been tempted to drop him for an extra batter (Crawley).

Well we may as well have Mickey Mouse behind the stumps as Buttler - both wear big gloves, both are comedy figures, but only one is funny.

Good start to the day!

Oh dear! Another dropped catch and a missed runout. Can it get any worse?

Good job the Pakistanis didn't have loads of warm up games to get used to our conditions!

What a game this has been!  A great bowling performance second innings and now putting together a decent run chase!  Seventy to win and five wickets in hand, but Buttler and Woakes putting together a great partnership.

In reply to Derek Furze:

Much more tense than anticipated from the overnight position. Probably due a flurry of wickets with the finishing line tantalisingly close!

In reply to earlsdonwhu:

Everybody shut up. Let's not tempt fate

 earlsdonwhu 08 Aug 2020
In reply to Graeme Alderson:

New ball imminently too!

In reply to earlsdonwhu:

1 over before it's due. 15 to win. Come on Broadie!

Get in, from 117 for 5 to win by 3 wickets!

Shame there was no crowd.

In reply to Phil1919:

I had tickets for today!

In reply to Graeme Alderson:

It was a great game. Pakistan were very competitive right the way through the test and were it not for Woakes  England would have lost. The next test should be a cracker!

Boy from Solihull done good today

In reply to Phil1919:

The Pakistan team were having a good go at making up for no crowd.

 Phil1919 09 Aug 2020
In reply to Graeme Alderson:

When did you buy your tickets!?

In reply to Phil1919:

January I think, which is pretty late for getting decent tickets. I would normally expect to be buying around now for next summer.

LCCC have swapped the tickets for ones for ENG v IND next year. Hope the bleeding pandemic is over by then

Has Joe Root lost every toss this summer?

I predict a 5fer for Jimmy today, he will be pumped. But will he hit 600 in this match/this series?

He's off to a good start!!

In reply to Gone for good:

And he's just got another one. 82-2 or more importantly 592 and counting

Edit: Off for rain now.
