Number 7's going well in the Test matches this week

100's for Wriddhiman Saha for India, Moeen Ali for England and now Dhanajaya de Silva is 80* for Sri Lanka

Dhanajaya de Silva completes his maiden ton to make it 3 number 7's

England have had no luck this morning whatsoever. From here I think Pakistan are gonna win this test match with a first innings lead of 150+

was just about to post the same thing rameez raja is saying as 3rd man, looking like a very poor decision to bat first and thats even after we got very lucky that pakistan put down a couple of catches just after lunch or we might have struggled to even make 200

It's a decision that demonstrates they are still worrying about playing the spinner batting last. That mental scarring doesn't bode well for the winter tour of the cities of spin.

Another dropped chance followed by a lucky stumping

England really struggling to hang on to the ball

Why is Ali being dissed as a potential 5 when bigger concerns are Hales, Vince & Ballance who have hardly scored a run between them this summer?

ps Ali bats 3 for his county...........

Find some targets worthy of criticism please & be constructive.
He rarely bowls for his County

They take 2 overs off for an innings change
Used to be 3. We have to assume that the rate is now 5 minutes an over

Thank you for that pearl of wisdom

I never knew that
I thought you would have known this.

Indeed, but can you kick a ball accidentally? Obviously you can misfield and the ball hit your foot and deflect to the boundary, but that would not be called a kick.
You kick the ball accidentally when you try and stop the ball with your feet.

Ironically we may end up batting last in this test match now anyway.

England 1/3 on with the bookies.

Easy money, given England haven't lost a home test batting first since 2012.
Hopefully none of you read this post.

214 lead for Pakistan it is.

Just a quick 500 from England and they're back in this.

Cook and Hales out already. Hales ought to be dropped for the winter tours. Vince needs to do something or he'll miss out too.
Hales is a ODI player Not good enough for Tests.

Selectors have looked but who got chosen in this series I don't they were brave enough this season. Ballance is now in his last chance saloon once again so will the door swing and close on his test career.
