    Brooke reaches 300 and England may declare around tea ?  223 ahead after Smith's cameo comes to an end.

    John Edrich next target for Harry with 310.

    Smith 31 from 24 and 779/5

    The English scores for Brook to hunt down.
    Wonder how many he’ll get?

    You've got to let him go for it haven't you? Surely

    Edrich ✅

    Yeah surely they won't declare if he is still in and within sight of 400. Would be very harsh.

    John Edrich ✅

    Andy Sandham next to go 325.❌

    Andy Sandman stays 4th in the all time record.

    Fastest 300 by English player and 2nd fastest after Sehwag.

    Awaits the usual suspects to slag England off for Collapse 😂 after Atkinson out.

    807/7

    Hammond should be easily gettable, Hutton too if allowed to bat on

    Sandham ❌

    317 off 322. Can’t fault that as an innings.

    Brook out for 317 (322). Some knock that

  • Weirdly could actually help Brook get a big score, Smith going - he'll.get the bigger share of the runs you'd think.
    Get a big score? I consider 300+ a big score already!
    Haha yeah, sorry, bigger score!

    Noooooooooo!
  • I imagine Brook will be desperate for England to bat on for a bit so he can collapse somewhere!

  • Someone is happy.

    Pope was waiting for six bowlers to bring up the ton before declaring

    823/7 and the umpires stop this innings as Pakistan are taking too much punishment. Anthony Joshua disagrees.
  • Haha brilliant!  Bowled first ball!!

    Well done Woakes.

    Slow start in the field for England - typical!
  • Pakistan are such a Spursy team at the moment.

    That would have been a great catch. Woakes making sure he’s involved everywhere today

    Got to be a pitch investigation surely? This isn't just a road it's a motorway. The likes of Shaheen and Naseem Shah are never going to develop on pitches this flat. 
    It's such a bad advert for Test cricket!

    Bad advert for boys from Pakistan to be bowlers !
    Let's wait and see how a deflated Pakistani side bat in the 4th innings; It will seem like a different pitch 

    Brook and Smith now going up to top gear.

    729/4

    I know we've scored a lot but I'm not sure out innings counts as 2.

    I think that England score counts as 2 innings !
    Pakistan will struggle to bat with confidence in their 2nd innings and our bowlers should feel fresh.
    Funny old game.

    1 down and nearly 3 wickets already.

    Pakistan’s first innings was only one over shorter (149 ovs) than England’s (150 ovs). Yet England held a 267 run lead after declaring.

    They’re knackered already, struggle to see them batting a full day. Give them an hour to bat tonight and they could be a couple down already

    England bowlers getting much more out of this pitch, they did have their feet up for 2 days of course
