Well, Australia will be hoping the predicted rain actually comes. Dominant display from England today.

Well they are certainly stacked with pace bowlers and batters now, but no frontline spinner feels like a risky move.

Took Pak from 101/5 to 461.

Formed a 177 run partnership with Agha Salman and a 94 run partnership with Naseem Shah, who scored just 6 runs off 87 balls!

Saud now averages over 90 and is playing his 6th test match.

Harris has already failed in his several chances and would probably be a downgrade. Renshaw was very poor in India. I'm not convinced about Bancroft. Who else is there?

Tamim Iqbal announces his surprise retirement.

Can you help help me find somewhere to download full cricket matches? I have really been disappointed at the amount of matches I can watch this year in USA since ESPN+ lost streaming rights for many completions, particularly IPL.

I have managed to avoid results of IPL final hoping to watch full match unspoiled.

I have used forum.rojadirecta.es for full games in the past, everything from MLB to English rugby league, but they don't seem to have a single cricket match.
