Bit of irony, Duckett was caught in the slips for 11. England are 1-20.

In the Rothesay County Championship Division 2 match, the two sides at the foot of the league table, Lancashire and Gloucestershire are playing each other.
I wonder if Lancashire are trying to emulate Pakistan with their batting, as after just 19 overs in their 1st innings, they were 43-6...
.... before being all out for 134 in 35.5 overs.
UPDATE .. Just noticed that Gloucestershire fully entered into the spirit of poor batting and in their second innings, after 31 overs were 88-8.

That also seems to have been the case in the first two Tests. A tour not many of them wanted!

In the Rothesay County Championship Division 1 match between Glamorgan and Warwickshire on Day 2, Glamorgan were desperate to forget their 1st innings total of 69 all out and had reached 42-1 in their 2nd innings, then totally and utterly succumbed once again and were all out for 65. Warwickshire won by an innings and 257 runs.
Barnard ... 6.1 - 1 - 13 - 5.

The England tail wagged with a vengeance which saw them accumulate a total of 453 all out in 89 overs.
Number 9 batsman, Robinson 50
Number 10 batsman, Archer 32 not out
Number 11 batsman, Tongue 15
Pakistan trail by 320 runs after the first innings, and Robinson then takes 2 wickets in the first over of Pakistan’s second innings. All over by lunchtime tomorrow!

Maybe not over so quickly. Play has been abandoned for the day, with Pakistan 52-2.

The Warks CEO will be very glad that they'll get a decent days play tomorrow. Madness that Saturday was planned as Day 4, against such weak opponents, especially in September.

They'll be delighted that it will all be over lunchtime, I'm sure.

Warwickshire's current county game (away to Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens) was all over on the second afternoon. Not that there appeared to be much ticket revenue anyway, based on what was visible of the stands on the YouTube channel.

On Day 3 of the Test Match, at the tea interval, Pakistan are 297-5, trailing England by 23 runs with 5 wickets remaining.

This test is not getting close to day 5, and I'm still not convinced it's getting to day 4. Pakistan have been surprising today, in a good way, and I was wrong about the match not reaching lunchtime.

Tail wagging straight from the annals of "Boys Own" by Pakistan sees them reach 449 all out (96.4 overs) in their second innings.
Number 9 batsman, Razullah.....81, with 9 x 6 and 4 x 4
Number 10 batsman, Abbas......42, with 2 x 6 and 5 x 4

I meant the play at the Test. At Edgbaston, the home of Warks. Indeed, the game now going to Day 4 is brilliant news for Warks, as they won't have to 100% refund Day 4 ticket holders, and will get to sell a decent amount of food and drink tomorrow.
A brilliant day for Pakistan, a shame for the series it's taken this late for it to become competitive.

Yet another rampant win for Blaze in the Women's One-Day Cup, over Essex.
Metro Bank Women's One-Day Cup, Queen's Park, Chesterfield
Essex 159 (45.4 overs): Scrivens 70; Gordon 3-25
The Blaze 162-1 (19.1 overs): S Bryce 70*, K Bryce 67*
Blaze go back to the top of the table, and straight through to the final next Saturday. Hampshire in second place will need to await the rest of the final round matches to see who they play in the eliminator next Wednesday.

Yes, I knew you were talking about the Test, I was just adding some details of another match that ended very short, sorry for not making that clear!
Though the Test has now gone on rather longer than I expected, and England's openers might have a nervy start this morning. These fourth innings chases can be tricky, but at least there's no time pressure.

Rothesay County Championship...Division 2
Day 1 of the Lancashire v Kent fixture started unusually well for Lancashire who batted first and had reached 81-0 in the 31st over. Then "normal service was resumed" batting-wise and suddenly it was 82-4 before grinding remorselessly onwards to 161 all out (58.5 overs)
Two notable bowling returns:-
Khalid ... 15.5 - 4 - 42 - 5
Milnes ......16 - 9 - 28 - 4

There was a powerful example of power hitting by an opener by Abhishek for India against Afghanistan in the Men's International 3rd ODI match.
He scored 108 off just 34 balls with 11 x 6 and 9 x 4 in a first-wicket stand of 142 in 9.5 overs

One particular match score at the end of day 4 caught my eye and I wonder how much the batsmen are enjoying batting on that track.....
North West Dragons (1st innings) ... 642-4 declared (150 overs)
Rosier........211 with 2 x 6 and 20 x 4
de Swardt..138 not out with 2 x 6 and 5 x 4
Lubbe........107 not out with 1 x 6 and 8 x 4
Boland (1st innings) ... 596-9 (186 0vers)
Botha........213 not out with 2 x 6 and 22 x 4
Kapland.....123 with 17 x 4

Took the best wicket I’ve ever seen live; Headingley with Khawaja’s leg stump reloacted about 5 metres back.
Awesome.

I really enjoyed his commentary today on Sky's coverage of the England / Sri Lankas ODI.
Hope he becomes a regular.

He's been on TMS a few times too, though I think more as a pundit rather than lead commentator. I agree, he comes over very naturally as well as being very knowledgeable.

In fact he's on TMS now, for the start of today's ODI.

How the mighty have fallen, Zak Crawley once Englands undropable Opener averaged 27.63 for Kent this season putting him 6th out of the 8 that played 10 or more matches for the County. England recall on the cards?

His career first-class batting average is just 31.62 in 151 matches, so yes, it has fallen this season but not by a great deal.
What he has failed to do this year is cash in at all, with no tons; his ability to go big when it was his day has been his trademark.

He had a terrible start to the season, but at the back end of the season he rediscovered some form, with some decent 50+ knocks, but no tons.

Great days play in Durban today. Oz won the toss and batted. They struggled to 4-84, recovered to 5-120 and finished early (bad light) @ 6-187, with Matt Renshaw 46 & Pat Cummins 33 the not out batsmen.
Wickets were shared 2 apiece between South Afrikas Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder & Anrich Nortje.
Curious talking point was opener Nic Maddinson playing his 1st Test Match for nearly 10 years. He faced 33 balls before he was out for a duck which apparently was the longest ever for an Aussie and the third worst in history.
Who'd of known that?
