If England hadn't have won the Ashes by this test I think he wouldn't have been playing. I think this test is his reprieve and if he can't do it when there's no pressure then there's little to no chance of him making it at Test level.

Great effort from Notts tonight despite one of the stupidest most unfair Duckworth Lewis revisions I have ever seen. Fo Durham.

What did we think of the Stokes thing today? Definitely not out for me. Can sort of understand Aus not wanting to bring Stokes back but think it was a bit shit for them to appeal it in the first place.

If he was actually in front of the stumps i dont think it would be out, but hes going the other way and still puts a hand out and blocks it, intentional or not its probs the right decision. Harsh tho

In slow mo it looks worse, and because it's palm of the hand it looks intentional. In real time though it's obviously not out. No way he's consciously trying to protect the stumps and as commentators were saying it sets a dangerous precedent.

Rashid's not having a great debut so far. Expensive as hell. Hopefully he can balance that off and take lots of wickets at Test level like he did in those Australia ODIs a weeks back as he was expensive in those too.

These Pakistan series really don't do much good for the health of test cricket. Shite pitches, in a country where nobody cares about cricket.

I agree it's a stupid place to host a match and a woeful pitch, but can't underestimate this knock by Cook. 11 hours at the crease, absolutely brilliant powers of concentration and temperament. Another 50 and he's the top scoring tourist in Asia, which is insane when you think about it. In an era of home dominance Cook's scored more of his centuries away from home than at home, we're so lucky to have a batsman who's capable on any surface when he's in nick.

Some of the stats are mental, his innings lasted longer than the entire Trent Bridge test match loool

Just checked the score. Rashid has a 5-for and England need 99 to win off about 20 overs. Wtf happened

I seriously hope england don't fuck this up. Should be standard win with Buttler and Stokes.
Edit: then he goes out. ¬_¬
