Azhar Ali licking his lips, get ready for that 100 off 350 balls

The two days went so well, 900 runs in 150 overs they decided to not bother with day 3

Wood ruled out for the first Test. Babar will have to wait to hit that six.

 

[CerealKiller]

Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and David Gower to be the English commentators in the Test series

Even if we've had cricket back for a while, seeing these players actually in Pakistan is always mind blowing…

Lovely gesture.

Pak vs Eng: Ben Stokes to donate match fee for entire Test series to flood victims

PM Shehbaz appreciates the all-rounder's gesture, says it "epitomises the great British tradition of philanthropy".

I gave the final product that hair. Someone at Big Ant must be a 30 Rock from the Bang Theory, or whatever that show is called, fan.

They’re definitely looking to just out-bat Pakistan, no matter how many runs we make.

Livingstone at 8.

Pakistan are really lacking that domestic veteran or workhorse bowler who can get you through spells. Ashraf is being forced into that role when he is far better as an impact bowler. I guess that's the price you pay when you go eternally in pursuit of pace is pace yaar and muh wonderkids.

I'm fascinated to see BazBall On Tour. We could end up in a situation where after three days both teams have scored 500 and one side has only batted for a day.

The bowling is a bit of a worry. Anderson is getting on, Robinson - although he has worked on his fitness - was bowling 70mph after a day in the field in Australia. Stokes is held together by determination and hope. If Pakistan target Leach, while I don't think Stokes would be shy of continuing to bowl him, they could look to hit him out of the attack like Australia and Rishabh Pant have done. Then we have Livingstone and Joe Root.

Going to be fascinating; what feels like quite a conservative Pakistan side coming up against a team that just want to chase down 500 on the final day.
