Pakistan 326
England 142 for 5

Considering the zero practice matches and confinement just to the ground and their hotels - the team is doing exceptionally well. I was expecting England to dominate - instead i can see some of their players actually look scared against the pace attack of our teenagers....

Rollercoaster is too stressful for me to watch live Pakistan matches on screen now - stadium I'm good with though.

Bro - think about what they are up against. No match practice for 6 months - solitary confinement - exceptionally young opening bowlers - playing in England with a duke ball and yet still performing. Its a commendable effort so far

Yeah I saw the highlights and the one wicket today ... It is one of those things when Pakistan are playing .. BBC etc on and off ... just for a quick check and then off.

I understand where you are coming from - i just love Pakistan playing the game and its beautiful to see such passion from players the English dont rate and then realize they are better than the English..

Pakistan has really impressed me in this game (have not watched the game as I don't have the channel but just following scorecard), especially Shan Masood who really has that dogged style of batting that frustrates the bowlers. Reminds me a bit of a better version of Gary Ballance. Bowler too were fantastic. Have heard a lot of talk about Naseem Shah and I love his bowling action.

Currently Buttler and Woakes are batting it out and if these two continue further and play out the session, England might just start balancing the game. If Buttler gets crazy once England gets comfortable, then it will be curtains for Pakistan.

Btw, Pakistan has a good history of playing in England.
