Pakistan's Tour of England 2021

I really enjoyed the 3 matches it was so good seeing what the next rung down could do, showed they should really be in the thinking, I would say Salt, Overton and Mahmood should be in the side when everyone is available, and I never expected Vince to play like that for England again he could be what we are looking for at number 3 , I love how England has turned the covid negative into a big positive

1st T20I Trent Bridge
England won the toss & elected to field
Pakistan 232-6 Babar 85 Rizwan 63 T Curran 2-47
England 201 Livingstone 103 Shaheen 3-30 Shadab 3-52
Pakistan won by 31 runs

Another Trent Bridge runfest. Pakistan openers added 150, but at 80-0 after 10 overs they hadn't hit a six. In the next 10 overs they hit 12. Roy hit a quickfire 32, but Livingstone played the innings of his life, as he recorded England's fastest T20 century off 42 balls with 6 fours & nine sixes.
With players rested, this was an experimental England side, & apart from Mahmood, lacked the pace that Pakistan had. Questions as to whether Parkinson has the wicket taking ability at this level, & he just bowls it a little too slow.

T20 from Headingley today....

And it's live on the BBC

^^

2nd T20I from the home of cricket.

Pakistan won the toss & have elected to bowl,
England have made 3 changes, with Morgan, Gregory & Willey making way for Buttler, who will captain, Jordan & Rashid. Pakistan are unchanged.

^ People (you) may say that it is home of cricket... but most of the team are Lankies

I also believe that cricket's Isa Guha is the best presenter on any sports programme.

no its defiantly not coming from Taunton mate,

you can watch the home of cricket from 1800 in the main even on sky once this warm up match is over

Malan looks so out of form at the moment , trying to hit it to hard, out for 1 today,
really think england should give him a rest and a chance to get his head right, hes a great player who should have the time to fine his game again,

Well, 4 that represent Lancashire, but Parky's a Bolton lad & the other 3 born outside your county.

I have to agree that Isa know's her stuff, when it comes to cricket.
