Haven't seen anything from bess to suggest he is anywhere near as good a bowler as leach
Is he injured?
I don't know why he's not in the team now, he originally went out of it due to illness ages ago, he wasn't dropped or anything. But he's long since been back in the squad after that, so not sure why he's not being picked in the team.
These are crucial runs from Broad, keeps us with an outside chance of not losing this game. Hopefully Broad can add a few more and get us properly back in the game

Given the situation at the start of today, I think we have to be happy with the day's play. We've got an outside chance of chasing this down tomorrow if the bowlers can wrap up the Pakistan innings quickly. What do you guys think?
Yeh I mean it’s going to take a special innings from someone and then a lot of people to dig in and contribute some 30s
But it’s definitely game on overnight, great performance for the day

Exactly. Pakistan will definitely be favourites, but we have an outside chance of chasing it down. At the start of the day it looked very possible that we'd be bowled out very quickly and then Pakistan bat us out the game. Today going well means that didn't happen and there's an outside chance of a win, even though its unlikely ofc.
Whatever happens tomorrow, I seriously hope Stokes is fully fit to bowl for the next test, like @AaronMFC said we need the extra batsmen back in the team, Crawley needs to come back in.
All 3 days we have done well in the morning session then ruined it straight after lunch we need full concentration and a good start when we bat to chase this.

And we have struggled since
Not good captaincy at all, we have 4 seamers no reason to be bowling his filthy offies

He needs at least 2 or 3 County seasons imo
That’s literally the reason why
His mistakes behind the stumps have put us miles behind
Sorry lads
Even that would be a minor miracle with Woakes at 7
Yeah I can't see any more than that being feasible to chase, that might even be too much

Let's be honest
We'd struggle to get 170 most likely
Weve given ourselves half a chance though, keep it to less than 280 then hope someone plays the innings of their life
Made up for yesterday a bit with my post there
