i did say it’s only england who can actually give england a game nowadays. we’ve transcended cricket.
There’s a video too:
Pretty smart by England to whet his appetite for test cricket whilst his most immediate successes will be in the shorter formats.
Nice gesture, looking forward to the series. I am expecting us to get beat fairly comfortably but hoping for a good watch.
First test could be delayed due to a virus has hit most of the squad.
Bazball on fire.
So Pakistan have decided to prepare a highway. England could get 500 today.
Pakistan made 137 in the T20 final. England are 103 without loss after 14 overs in a test match. World's gone mad.
174 - 0 at lunch.
That’s a pretty decent start by England for a ODI
Just seen the score. Blimey. It’s a miracle to see an England opening partnership pass 50 but this is outrageous scoring for a test match.
It’ll never work outside of England
200 up in 30 overs 
The feck is going on
, what have I woken up to, just going to enjoy it, and worry how this England side will take 20 wickets later.Insane.
Delighted for Crawley and Duckett.

Pitch starting to misbehave, the previous 2 hardly left the ground
We are going to collapse to 270 all out aren't we
Well, that's that then.
300 all out?
300 all out?
Why did I even bother turning it on 2 wickets in the five minutes I’ve been watching.

So it's all your fault then,
So it's all your fault then,
I just wanted to get Root in, no panic.
Your fault again!
Don’t worry lads, I’ve got a meeting at 10. Just the 45 minutes to survive.
550 plays 550
332-3 at tea on the opening day
When Joss Buttler retires, he'd be able to make a good living reading audio books. Quite possibly the most relaxing voice I've ever heard.
Batting at this rate we have time to aim for 700+.
Asking a lot obviously but it's possible.
I know it’s an absolute road, but Brook does look a special talent. Definitely something of a KP about him.
Why have they made a road?
Agreed. In fact, there are a few decent batting options coming through for the test side. Much healthier outlook than it was 12/18 months ago.
so the ducks can cross it
His voice makes his batting hilarious to me, how one person can bat like he can and then go off and do his interviews with the calmest most mild mannered voice on earth seem so at odds. Also when he occasionally does get picked up sledging like at Vernon Philander that time, absolutely killed me hearing that from Jos.
This is insanity
Bazball is absolutely not a thing though.
Wow, that looked nowhere near out in real time.
