The usual rubbish he spouts.
Seriously, he's awful 90% of the time. If this summer is the summer people realise it I'm all here for it.
Seems like he's saying rhythm over not always being 90mph, the wicket not needing to be quick on I'm not buying.
I think he needs to be wound up to get that extra effort. A crowd would help him no end definitely.

I knew he was going to take a wicket even as I questioned it.
National hero who punches homophobes in his spare time, what a man.
Not impossible though to chase down I feel with a few big partnerships.
Azhar Ali is a poor captain, Pak will be kicking themselves for not applying themselves better here to make a more difficult total for England to chase
Good review, looked out in real time.
This is classic Pakistan. One shitty batting collapse to undo 2.5 days good work.

That legit looked plumb real time.. garbage decision
What is Illingworth on? That's out all day.
We might have a match here boys.
No but Woakes is not bowling so bad that you risk Stokes getting injured and having to pick a team that's a batsman short for the rest of the series.
122-7.
Pakistan making a real mess of this. Or have England bowled really really well. Not sure.
Needed a lead of 270.

Cracking game. On a knife's edge.
Yasir would do a crossword with flamboyance. He's great fun.
Where you placing your money?
If Michael Holding didn't say 'RONS' would everyone realise how boring he is?
Wasn't it supposed to be close of play 3 mins back?
Are there Pakistani supporters in this thread? I see some new people..
I think @ha_rooney supports Pakistan.. anyone else?

I was promoted earlier in the week. Follow England but love all cricket really.
Cat amongst the pigeons, but he's the first man on a World XI team sheet, right?
I know these lot are from the Chris Martin school of batting but the blocking isn’t really helping. Go for it.
Yep
Yep
Rakheem Cornwall for me
Stokes is driving England here, lovely stuff.
Ouch. Difficult. A few more runs and two leggies may be too much England. But I take the point about it not being 5th day wicket tomorrow. Great game regardless.
British-born pakistani here.
Who are you supporting then?
Him or Kohli, probably joint first picks.
England right back in this. Good day’s cricket.
Our bowlers need to be on the money & take early wickets again. Should be an exciting day tomorrow.

How about anything below 250 is England's and above it is Pakistan's game?
Pakistan in the cricket, England in the football, pretty standard desi behaviour
He loves Root's captaincy more than Root does.
Good contest now. Saturday should be entertaining.
Really hoping this test match has a close finish. I suspect England will lose quick wickets, but it almost deserves to have a nail biting result either way.
England are gonna need someone to get a century and bat through and there's only 1 guy I would back to do it.
Strange things can happen, especially with young bowlers, first match of the series etc... but I think Pakistan winning by over 150 runs is more likely than England winning.
Depends on the format. In tests, I'd pick Smith or Kohli before Stokes. But in ODI or T20, it's Stokes all day long.
Set up beautifully... But I feel Pakistan have enough already, their bowling is just too strong to not defend this.
Sadly I only get to see the first session tomorrow, have a family thing all day afterwards which is a bit of a bitch to be honest.

No way... that's in reverse if anything
Limited overs is not Stokes strong point. Garbage in the IPL last season and Kohli is legit GOAT category.
Stokes' bowling isn't up to much in those formats.
Buttler's a much better one day player than Stokes, before we get in to other teams players.
