Moment of the series – the Pakistan balcony after Razaullah was reprieved on 81 by the third umpire?
Cook critical of England
“You can get done by the tail – it’s very hard when people have the
license and ability to hit sixes,” Alastair Cook told TMS. “What I saw was no plan, it got out of control.”
“That’s when you need the backroom staff and coaches to step up. I
would loved to have seen a message and some real leadership from the
coaches.”
Who is going to be Bob Willis? Only one man.
“Not far away now, into the tail,” beautiful from Nasser Hussain yeseterday.

Preamble
Good morning and welcome to the day you didn’t expect. An evening of glorious chaos at Edgbaston brought us, from nowhere, a match, and a born-for-this-moment star – Razaullah, the floor is yours.
Those nine sixes, played with roaring panache, have been matched only by Ben Stokes in a Test innings in England. And now he gets to bowl, blood roaring through those handsome veins. Probably England will cruise to 130. But maybe just maybe, Pakistan can find the old magic. Join us for what this time really is the Test summer’s last hurrah.
