Harry Brook is man of the series for me.
Would be immense if england get a lead of 60 to 70 odd to cancel the disadvantage of batting last on this surface.
Well 50 wasn’t a bad lead Pakistan have coped so far probably just the one LBW from Leach.
Did well from the position they were in after losing Stokes, Brook sensational again and some vital lower order runs. Game is set up beautifully again.
the pitch was greener than my back lawn.
The greenest pitch ever actually made the game interesting. Nice change from the roads that allow boring 500+ and increased batting averages.
Normally the Gabba is a perfect cricket pitch. Anyway 1-0 it is.
Leach on a roll, 3 wickets in 6 balls. Had looked relatively comfortable for Pakistan up until the first batsmen went.
Babar and Shakeel have been their best 2 batters. We need to get one or a chase over 200 will be tough.
A Babar cover drive is a thing of beauty indeed
Rehan on fire
Looks a prospect. Nice to get a debut when the side is winning and the series is won.
Done by close of play? Probably.
It’s bloody good to watch.
My goodness!! Our new 18 year old leggie Rehan just got a 5 fer in his first match!! Well played young man! And great call Stokes and McCullum for identifying his talent and calling him up!
6 overs left, 60 needed. Might as well end it today Benjamin.
Six hitting, wicket taking, record breaking, history making bloody brilliant England.
What a difference a year makes!
Can’t wait for the Ashes
Might crash in beautiful failure but that’s better than watching for 2 hours of them getting out while trying to get a single or two and being 37-4
The Aussie bowling is vey good. Great to see how we bat against it.
Might be 37-4 but that will be after 4 overs not 40.
Where do the ashes happen ?
