Can't help wondering about England not having another specialist keeper though I'm not sure how many folk wondered beforehand.

Unbelievable time wasting here.

i think coming off for bad light would maintain the integrity of test cricket

Yeah we mentioned it at the end of day 2 when Pope missed a stumping and dropped a catch. He's done pretty well all things considered though and taken some good catches. With his century as well, he's had a very good match.

Tine wasting, something England would never do.

Listening on TMS, sounds like Pakistan are time wasting

Yeah, I don't blame Pope who isn't a specialist and they say has kept only 8 times in his career.

Reckon the light might just save them here.

Cautious declaration from Stokes is going to cost England the win.

Great Test Match.

Lots of people were saying he declared too early

Can't win

This reminds me of the Oval in 1963, when Colin Cowdrey came out with his broken arm.

I was joking. He's done all he can as a captain for England to win this test. The loss of so many overs to bad light has cost England the win.

Getting dark - get them off ffs

...if it ends in a draw I'm guessing

This is why Test Match cricket beats one day all day long.

Umpires- Fekk you doing

The one gripe I have with our bowling under Stokes is the amount of short balls at tailenders.

Need to mix up the lengths more.

Bowling bouncers in the dark…… what is going on?


GET OFF

Ohhh nooo it's all over.

Hoping the fading light could force a mistake from a short ball. However I wonder whether the likes of Jimmy and Broady have said they don't like short pitch bowling at them so we do it at other tailenders.

Yes Nutter! This one has got to be hitting

Dead on that

Brilliant win
