    I saw that and thought they must have changes to a one day game! It must be close to a record for the opening session of a test match. 364/3 off 59 overs now. Got to love Bazball

    4 players with a a century on day 1, that's insane.

    Are they playing on concrete?

    Wonder what the team physio gave them to help them recover from their collective illness? Whatever it was, keep it coming...

    Brett Anderson out of Suede, you mean? What's his bowling action like?

    Incidentally it was the most runs ever on the first day of a Test match.

    Highest ever for one day (not the first day) is 588, had bad light not intervened I'm pretty sure we would have beaten that

    I saw barely a mention on BBC this morning ? It seems at the moment “sport = World Cup”.

    I see we still managed to fit in a little collapse to end our innings!

    Be record numbers of runs in a test at this rate .

    Probably won't make much difference but we might get a lead after the first innings.

    Certainly giving it a go but it may backfire.
    A lead of 275 with 5 remaining.

    Pakistan set 342 to win .

    Guess we are hoping to get early wickets with the new ball so they cannot go for the runs .

    Crazy declaration on this wicket. I’m all for positive cricket but you’d have to say at this point we’ve made Pakistan strong favourites to win. Barmy.

    True , but test cricket really needs this . Hopefully this England team can change the way the game is played and keep the format alive , because outside of Australia and UK it is dieing .

    I'm loving English cricket at the moment. Most fun it's been in my lifetime.

    Would have made sense to retire Livingstone and just let Leach and Robinson have a few overs to add 15-20 to the score.

    Regardless of the result though, I'm getting up early to watch England play test cricket, and it's been a while since I've done that. Much prefer this approach

    That DRS decision looked very dodgy to me.

    From the side view the ball was flat or even dropping but the ball tracker had it rising over the wicket. The ball was never going to climb like that off that pitch!

    Well down the pitch and hit him on the rise in the stomach. Not a shock that it showed it going over but I’d love to know how DRS judges the bounce on the pitch and whether it’s the same for every game or it judges the bounce as the game goes on.

    Then Robinson gets a wicket on review, that looked like going over more than Leach's did.

    We'll have to agree to disagree. From the side camera it appeared to me that the ball had reached the peak of it's bounce before it hit his stomach. That peak was below the height of the stumps imho.

    Interesting question about how DRS determines the bounce though.

    Oh I agree with you. My point was it wasn’t a shock to see DRS show it the way it was.

    Azhar looks like he’d prefer to play a Pietersen ‘take a single on the first ball with the tail’ role rather than a Stokes style bludgeon to victory one. Hope for England.

    2 in two overs from Robinson, only tail enders left and has suddenly swung this match in England's favour.
