Pakistan 4th Test

[homer]

Engerland currently 47-5

Pieterson out first ball, of course, and ducks for Collingwood and Morgan

Quality stuff - bring on those Aussies

 

[Real Sharapova]

Just wish Pieterson and his ego would feck off back to South Africa. An extra Jumbo jet should just about be big enough for the latter.

 

[bocadillo]

Mohammad Amir has now taken 6 wickets.

175 for 7

 

[glyn]

Amir is the youngest bowler to 50 wickets

 

[glyn]

Fair play to Trott for battling once again, and to Broad for another decent knock after a shocker of a year with the bat

 

[bocadillo]

Ton Up

Jonathan Trott has reached his 100.

115 partnership for the 8th wicket with Broad, who is on 61

225 for seven

 

[glyn]

Broad on 81, big chance for a first ton

He's there. Ton for Broad. 290 for seven.

Really good performance.

Cricinfo quick off the mark as usual with their stats, Broad the 14th batsman to make a ton from number 9:

 

[glyn]

318/7 now. I really don't remember an England side of the last 25 years making such a comeback with the bat.

 

[Hazzman]

What an innings from Broad. I was saying to my boss at work I can't understand why he hasn't press on with his batting. Always looked like a potential all-rounder.

Broad strokes a single to become the highest ever scorer for England at No. 9, going past Gubby Allen

 

[glyn]

Still going :icon_eek:

Best ever 8th wicket partnership in tests.

Broad has beaten his dad's highest test score :icon_bigg

8th wicket partnership of 332.

England 446 all out.

They've now got Pakistan at 10 for three.

8th wicket partnership of 332.

England 446 all out - and that's with no less than five of them getting a duck!

They've now got Pakistan at 10 for three.

 

[glyn]

74 all out!

 

[glyn]

Second innings 102/9.

I'm sure the Pakistan side want this over as quickly as possible.

England bowling averages this series:
Anderson 23 @ 13.56
Swan 21@ 11.57!!
Broad 14@ 22.28
Finn 13@ 22.92

 

[bocadillo]

An innings and 225 runs - now that didn't seem very likely when we were 47 for 5 on Thursday. Three Pakistan players interviewed by the police and had their mobile phones 'detained'.
