Our bowling has become increasingly innovative too. TMS saying England are bowling shorter than has ever been recorded in a test match, and already yielded two wickets. What’s the betting the next wicket comes from a Yorker?

What a finish that was. How have England rustled up a cracking game on that absolute shit tip of a pitch? It wasn't turning or doing anything else after tea on Day 5.

To conjure a win like that from a flat, dead pitch, incredible.

For a while there that declaration looked to be one level of aggression too far. But the stones on this team is something else, they don't appear to be afraid of anything. Completely changing the way test cricket is played right now, very fun times indeed.

Just read this on TMS:
More from Mohammad Rizwan on his dismissal by James Anderson:“It was a masterclass, I love him. I had no answer to his question”
Sums up the spirit that this series has been played in. Good stuff, warms my heart

Fun, absolutely. Even if England had narrowly lost the first and second tests, we'd have still been thoroughly entertained! Which on Pakistan pitches, isn't always the case (see - Pakistan 0-1 Australia series recently). But the more pertinent point is that England have now won 8 out of 9 test matches under the leadership of Baz McCullum and Ben Stokes - against New Zealand, India, South Africa... and now Pakistan AWAY. An amazing turnaround and so enjoyable to watch.

Some good performances especially Harry Brooks. But can't explain the Brisbane test between Australia and South Africa on a green wicket Over in two days and Edgar feeling if they had got 50 more runs they would have been in with a shout.

Hats off to Rehan Ahmed for taking 5 wickets on his debut and giving us hope for many years to come.

Did you see the item with Shane Warne watching him in the nets when he was 13 ?

I've only just seen that and amazing that Shane Warne spotted his talent at such a young age.

I love that Stokes stuck him in to bat at no.3.

Not sure how I feel about that. Strangest nightwatchman decision ever, the fact that it was his day, or a piss take?
