Woke up just in time to see HB get to 200. Phenomenal batting by these two but such a shame if/when it ends in a draw
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...s-england-1st-test-1442215/live-cricket-score Check our the stats of Root. Oldest ever to be in a 300+ partnership when opposition have got 500. Been on the pitch in that heat for all but 8 balls of the match. He's chasing down the all time record for running 3s in an innings. Brook getting a double century is just the cherry(ington) on the cake.
Exactly that - imagine getting your test best score of 262 and not even being the innings top scorer! What a couple of amazingly talented Yorkshiremen we are witnessing. Pakistan just have to deal with Jamie smith and Harry Brook putting the foot down now… good luck
Yep would would have been nice to see Root get 300 but for the game he probably went at the right time.
Well played Cherrington. A fine 300. I'd love him to get to Lara's record but with the way he's playing, he's probably going to be out soon.
First innings lead of 267 - and we batted a grand total of one more over than they did. And it’s 0/1 first ball… game on
The Pakistani ex-player at the lunch break made a good point - yes the pitch is flat AF but this is not the right time to be playing tests, it should be Jan-Mar time so that they can prepare pitches with some life, now its just baking hot. So, another victim of the crazy cricket scheduling.
Take those two catches and we’d be right in the game. Neither was easy but you’d want to take them at this level - at least one of them anyway.
