T'test series in Pakistan 08:13 - Oct 9 with 4376 viewsD_Alien

Congrats to Joe Root, England's all-time highest test runscorer

Good to see England fighting back in style after Pakistan's 556

Great for Joe, but an awful pitch for test cricket.

Wonderful achievement by Root,but always thought that the game is meant to be a equal contest between batter and bowler but not too sure that is the case in this Test Match.

So it would appear, except that England are scoring at their now-familiar Bazball rate, which could yet end up with Pakistan chasing down a draw on the final day with the pitch rapidly deteriorating in favour of the spinners

If we can get a lead of 200+ it might be game on. Pakistan recently collapsed in their second innings against Bangladesh in a similar situation.

I'm not sure the pitch is, or will rapidly deteriorate though.

you do realise a lead of 200 would put the total score at around 800 in the innings. I just cant get my head around that somehow.

That's what I mean. It is implausible, but the pitch is that flat that it is not impossible. We lost two wickets all day, which scoring at near enough five an over. One of those to a poor shot and the other to a misjudgement. You could have counted the number of 'good balls' on one hand.

658 - 3 and a lead of 102.

Joe Root 259*

Harry Brook 218*

Both a score of 800+ and a lead of 250 a real possibility.

Not sure this track they are playing on is conducive to Test cricket looks to be zero in this for the bowlers.

Will Joe Root ever have a better chance of breaking Brian Lara’s record?

Highest ever score by any team against Pakistan in a Test Match. Brook eventually amassed 317 runs off 322 deliveries at at a strike rate of 98.45. Amazing innings .

You were right.

Still cant get my head round it.

As a Lancastrian, even I have to applaud 2 Yorkies.

We declare at 823-7, a lead of 267

Almost impossible for Pakistan to win from here; they can only prevent England from winning

The draw most likely, though by tomorrow, this pitch is known for spinning like a top. That's how test matches used to play out; maybe not quite so high-scoring, but the run-rates are higher now

Edit: Pakistan one down already

Only the fourth score of 800+ in test history

Really impressive mentality throughout to make this turnaround possible. Parallels to when Martin Johnson's England rugby team won in Australia and NZ the summer before their 2003 world cup, if they can fashion a win from a situation like this it could be just the sort of building block that starts to instill real belief in the group that next winter's Ashes could be on.

Granted very different opposition and conditions to come, but there's little signs that lessons are being learned and things are starting to point in an exciting direction.

5 down now… Surely they couldn’t wrap it up in 4 days?
Incredible.

152/6 at the close of play. A day of record breaking for the England team and players. This would be an incredible victory if they could pull it off tomorrow.

They didn't do too bad did they and even declared before tea. Probably three wickets away from victory as I doubt Ahmed will bat after being in hospital. Again the pitch has not really done much and half of their wickets to fall have been down to poor shots.

Incredible win - final wicket taken earlier this morning.

Root and Brook unbelievable.

Pakistan the first test team in 147 years to lose by an innings after scoring 500+ batting first.

The list of record stats makes it a very special win

The Root-Brook partnership the highest for England

(Incidentally, Root was never in with a realistic chance of beating Lara's record test score, since we'd have declared well before he got there in order to go for the win)

Brook's triple century the fastest (balls faced) for England

Never did I think i would see England score 800+ in one test innings.

If everybody is fit and raring to go i would love to see top of their game bazball in Australia for the Ashes... now that will be a test.

An absolutely brilliant victory. To get 20 wickets on that pitch is amazing, especially when Pakistan's much vaunted attack managed 7 and a few of them were due to chasing a few late runs.

Stokes might be back for the next test, which offers an interesting dilema as to who to leave out. The match is being played at the same ground, but hopefully on a better pitch.

From the sublime... to the ridiculous

211-2 to 225-6

It'll be a struggle to avoid defeat from here
