nice to see the poms come back down to Earth with a thud

Loved seeing how quickly and well this aged

Mind you, despite being a big Barmy Armier, I was afraid you were right at the time.

As it is, very happy to win six tests in a summer, including a series against the 'at-the-time' number one ranked side in the world

Crawley finally gets a notable score, finishing with 69* (57). That will help him solidify his spot for England's next test series, against Pakistan in Pakistan in December.

I also said I couldn't see South Africa scoring more than 150 right before their only decent score of the series

The first test between Pakistan and England in Rawalpindi is supposed to start tomorrow but might be delayed 24 hours as illness has gone through the England camp.

England had already named their team for the match-
Cra, Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Stokes, Foakes, Livingstone, Leach, Robinson, Anderson

Will Jack's in for Foakes and Pope to keep due to illness. We are flying along at 97 for 0 from 13 overs. As expected it's an absolute road but we are fun to watch with our positive batting.

500 in a day on the cards

Ridiculous with some key players out

Get to 523 will be second highest score in a days play in a Test Match. Doubt they get to the number one spot with 588

8 ball overs back then I think.

Baz has certainly changed the Poms mind you the outfield is like glass

It's a pretty flat Rawalpindi track. There is nothing in the pitch, the outfield is lighting and the Pakis uave bowled a bit of garbage as well.

Only 75 overs bowled. Unreal.

15 more overs and possibly would have beaten the 588.

Play stopped for bad light. I reckon stokes was seeing them ok, just belted Ali for 18 from that over.

Pretty unreal batting today. No slogging just pure batting and without root doing anything. Bowling was poor and quick outfield but still a remarkable effort. Brook to me looks like a star in the making.

Biggest score on the 1st day of a test match ever

What a road

Some criticise Adelaide Oval but by crikey this is crazy!

The MCG was going to lose the boxing day test based upon the condition of the pitch. Will the same be said for this mob?

They produced the exact same for the Aussie series there. Not sure why they do it with all the fast bowling talent they have.
