England vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Lord's, London | May 24-28, 2018 | Day 4 | Match Thread

Bro what are thought
Bess and butler will play 2 test good for us bess bowling is nothing specail and butler apart from that inning doesnot look like will play well again with his unique technique

Buttler's more dangerous when he has a foundation to build on. 300-5 on a flat pitch and he can do a lot of damage - but not when the other batsmen are failing around him.

Bess looks ordinary - remember that Somerset warm-up before the 2016 series ? He made his FC debut then and Younis Khan milked him like a cow. He ended up with figures of 0-128.
 
The ball is turning good, but Dom Bess is clearly trying too hard. Moeen Ali is the best off-spinner England has right now.
 
The benefit of playing young players concerned about their spot in the team - LOTS of running! 2's, 3's..

Fair enough

What will be pitch like for next test?will eng have any change in playing 11?
 
Why did Broad and Anderson only bowl 3 overs? They're your best bowlers. At least try to win.
 
Waiting for comments like:
Fluke.
Jimmy and Broad weren't at their best.
This is the weakest team of England.

:)))

Tests win can not be fluke, you have to win session by session, if anyone says its fluke, they dont know cricket
 
Shameful. Anderson and Broad didn't even try to bowl more - even when Pakistan were 12 for 1. Should have bowled atleast 3-4 overs more.
 
A thoroughly professional performance by Team Pakistan.

Every man has done his duty, a complete team performance, which is more satisfying than one based on 2 or 3 of standout efforts.

That too at the home of cricket, with the whole world watching. Well done boys.

Headingley is in my county and these days it's a fairly flat pitch with some big totals being racked up. In the old days it had a reputation for being a seamer's paradise.

West Indies chased down 320 last year.
