England declare on 823 for 7, with a double century for Joe Root and a triple century for Harry Brook. :kolobok_shok:

Insane numbers, but only a 267-run lead.

Uh-oh - after a decent start, England have just lost 4 wickets for 14 runs in 18 deliveries.

Well a 2-1 series defeat to Pakistan who had been coming in with a terrible record recently at home in test cricket.

The home side really looked good once they sidelined Gillespie and started picking teams and preparing to get the best out of the conditions they faced.

We were pretty much outplayed in every department in the last two tests after Joe Roof got the series off to a great start.

Once they beefed up their spin bowling attack on the big turning pitches and also had a middle order that much favoured attacking spin bowling our number was up.

Next test series is in New Zealand against a red hot team that could be coming home off the back of a great series win in India.

India though fighting back chasing a big total to win.

Looked like NZ had them on the ropes but India now 118-2 requiring another 241 to win.

Jaiswal on 68 and Kohli on 10 - there’s a big crowd in too.

Not now, Kohli trapped lbw after the earlier loss of two quick wickets and the Indians are 147-5 needing a batting miracle to deny New Zealand their first ever series win in India.

Credit to Pakistan, their spinners bowled epic spells and worked hard for their success.

The erstwhile "Rawalpindi Express" Shoaib Akhtar opined that, whoever won the series, England would have learned more. I'm not sure I could agree with that, having woken up early this morning to hear the collapse.

How many sports are on FTA with enough regularity on a weekly basis in the UK? Apart from major events are any of the leagues a staple of FTA weekend offerings? I was under the impression that anything of any value was behind a paywall. 

Cricket will be fine, much as it always has.
