Fantastic day of cricket at Edgbaston today. Nearly 700 runs, and as Nev said great weather and everyone mixing and enjoying the match. It was a pleasure to be there.

I can only assume that's a reference to on going misuse of Chris Woakes.

Yup

Rest. He has had far too much rest of late and that can be stressful.

I think with Woakes they’re managing his knee condition but maybe they need to realise he does occasionally need to actually play.

233 was always going to be a struggle, but it’ll be remarkable if England get close after loosing three early wickets

A century from Livingstone meant that England got a lot closer than I expected, but Pakistan still won by 31

Liam Livingstone is at it again

He’s just hit one out of the ground

England going well at 150-4 after 14, but this lineup looks a batter short with Tom Curran in next.

England in danger of being bowled out here.

Perhaps change that to: England will be bowled out here.  After such a good start.

Hell of a catch by Rashid off his own bowling.
