[Cricket] 3rd Investec Test: England v Pakistan at Edgbaston, Aug 3-7, 2016

[Titanic]

Damn... left the room for a few minutes and Woakes is gone... 244-7

Replay shows that was a pretty good ball from Rahat Ali to Woakes. And Broad is taking a peppering already.

 

[Titanic]

Bugger... now Moeen Ali given out, caught at short leg?... reviewed

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not out

 

[Titanic]

Given out caught on field... conclusive not out on the catch on review... umpires call on the LBW... so not out as it wasn't given out on the pitch... clear as mud.

245-7

245-7

All makes perfect sense, to be fair.

 

[Titanic]

Moeen Ali 50* (99 balls, 5 fours)... gets there with a typically wristy pull to midwicket for four

England 251-7 (74.2 overs) with just Finn and Anderson in the hutch.

 

[NoMoreForMeThxIAmARussian]

Another 50 please Mo

245-7

Seems clear to me.

 

[BensGrandad]

Seems clear to me.

and me. No appeal for LBW.

 

[Titanic]

England 275-7 (80 overs, RR3.44), Ali 62* Broad 13*

It is 17.53, there have been no delays in play and they have only bowled 80 overs

The new ball is due...

 

[Titanic]

and now the new ball is taken after 80.1 overs... and immediately Broad slashes at a wide one from Amir and is caught by Azhar Ali above his head at 3rd slip

276-8 (80.2 overs)

 

[Triggaaar]

I'll tell you what doesn't seem clear to me - Nasser is saying that he would have been out if all tracking was red - I don't see why, as there was no review for LBW. Even if it was in line and hitting middle, surely that should still be not out?

He would indeed have been given out... as the review covers all possible dismissals.

That seems harsh. Given out caught, Ali reviews and the review backs him up. It would then be weird to give a batsman out for something the umpire didn't give when the batsman is the one who reviewed it.

 

[Titanic]

Finn trapped in front... not given... reviewed... Sohail after his fifth wicket...

 

[Titanic]

Umpires call, clipping the bail.

Finn survives.

 

[Triggaaar]

Ali out. Not a good total. Ali should review to check the front foot.

 

[Titanic]

Horrible shot from Ali... slashing drive outside off... caught behind.. 63 from 118 balls

England 278-9

 

[Pavilionaire]

Why the fvck did Finn take a single off the last ball of the previous over to expose himself to another over with a brand new ball? Brain dead cricket.

Ali should be taking charge here FFS!

Edit - he's now out #hownottobattwiththetail

 

[Sheebo]

If we're all out around now, will Pak have to bat for 10mins or so it is it too late?
