Struggling to see how Moeen Ali takes wickets. 2 big scalps today.
Also, spare a thought for Azhar Ali. Both of his dismissals were to balls that barely clipped leg stump.

Moeen is like many a 'spinner' in club cricket. Bowls a lot of tripe therefore batsmen know they can ruin him, but occasionally you get over conference and gift your wickets away.

Some absolutely pathetic fielding here letting runs slip

Wahab using TC gloves and DC bat.

Deserved being out just for that. Very village.

Wahab, if you're reading, you're out of it hits you flush on the glove aswell, not just the bat.

That pesky woakes, taking wickets on a flat track.

Ive removed who posted as that's not the issue. But making statements on people's previous attempts at test cricket is a dangerous thing. Everyone can improve!

Woakes with a test bowling ave of  68 is in the squad.

Woakes now averages 28 in test cricket. Easy to turn things around with a few good games.

It's always confused me a bit when commentators say Lords is a flat pitch, I mean it's on a slope for a start!

So pleased with the way Woakes has gone this summer since getting a run in the side, particularly in this test. Just playing the odd test match here and there didn't flatter him and now we're seeing what the lad can really do - he's been one of the best county players for a long time now. In an time when international cricket is looking very short on test class allrounders, have England got the best two in the world?

We're in a bit of bother in the match though, Pakistan have been very good so far. Good to see, fingers crossed we can chase it down and us fans can settle in for a great series.

If Pakistan gives 300+ To chase then it will be a interesting match with 2 days remaining.. Yasir Shah will pose a bigger threat on a 4th day pitch.

As his average is now sub 30 is he officially a world class bowler?

[rickjames]

Yes

[alexhilly1492]

Come on England!!! 283 needed!

Any forumites here at lords?

[ppccopener]

Cracking test this one.we need as many as possible before shah comes on

All well and good playing shots but if you lose 2 wickets then it's a bit pointless!
