8 down

Hoped for a better fight than this....

2 bowlers taking 20 wickets. Has that happened before?

Shocking what you need to do to win a test match at home, reminds me of the Aussies in the 70's

The ball is turning a mile, think they've overdone it with sweeps but it's their main scoring shot and difficult to play with a straight bat.

Can we play 3rd test on same wicket too

That’ll be a one day international 😂

New venue for the third test...whole new ball game....so to speak

Might even get some fans in watching it

It worked playing on a used wicket... at least theres something going into the 3rd test. The likes of Pope and Crawley actually need to score runs. I won't slate Stokes yet since hes not played at all. but his record in recent games is terrible as well. and his average is not good enough..

Wow Pakistan won

Definitely didn't see that on the cards.

Losing streak over - thanks BazBall

8-46 seems pretty decent

Crawley got like 78 in the last game. Admittedly he didn't take advantage of a good start in the first innings in this game but the guy has been scoring a decent amount of runs since McCullum came in. Not really sure why he's under pressure.

I see a lot about Stokes' position as well and that he needs to do more like he hasn't already done so much for this team. He's a great leader and fielder and is someone who delivers more big moments than most.

Batting first was the reason

I’d like to say we did a Pakistan against Pakistan. But this is a classic England batting collapse and I will not let them steal our thunder.

England fans hate India but now loose to poor poor Pakistan team with some new players not heard of

46 all out

Right change from England to bring Rehan in. Atkinson can hopefully bowl a decent amount after being rested for the second test. Hopefully the batters will do a bit better against the spinning ball this time rather than just go all out sweep attack.

We did struggle more with Carse though

Crawley gone already

pope would be better of being the actual pope.. hes such a failure at this level

anything above 200 and i would be happy with that..
