Surely... SURELY, Marcus North will be dropped now. Averaging 29 in his last 13 matches.

Strike me down with an air guitar. They ended up putting on 332 for the 8th wicket! The highest ever stand for that wicket. Broad making 169. But wait, there's more. In reply the Pakis made a whopping...74! And after being forced to follow on are currently 4-41. Broad has 3-19 for the match. Indeed, take out the 332 and the match tally stands at Pakistan 14-115 and England 9-114. 23-229.

Oh. My. God. England 5-47, 7-102 are now 7-346. Broad and Trott with centuries. Anything's possible when Pakistan play.

Bale what a goal!

We're favourites on sportingbet.

- Bowls Australia out for 88... our lowest ever first innings total and 7th lowest overall. Tim Paine's 17 is the lowest top-score in an innings for 110 years. ...Thank the Lord we batted first.

All good now

Joe Cole to Liverpool

I once read on here that having the last 3 posts in a thread should say something to the person posting. I wonder what 7 of the last 8 says...

Ponting out for 92, Clarke stranded on 99. Good partnership. One day cricket, in it's current format, is deader than...

Only 4 match points? In 59 service games? Should check out the winners stat, wow

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut playing a decently long match. After 4 sets it's 4-6 6-3 7-6 6-7 in just under 3 hours. Oh yes...and the 5th set is 58-59 and has taken over 7 hours. This set alone would be the longest match in the modern Open era I believe.

Matildas win the Asian cup in a penalty shootout. Good stuff girls! Could a mod change the thread name to soccer thread or something like that.

Possibly because the last 6 have been won by the team batting second. Give it up JJC, your argument is fundamentaly flawed and I don't think you even know what you're arguing against anymore.

Thank God we batted first!

You've learnt nothing.

Certainly a ripper finish. 34 off 19 was quick going, 26 off his last 5 was amazing!

Unbelievable! I'm probably biassed and only just finished watching the game but I thought we really deserved it on the night. Great effort from the boys, Harry is amazing!

Come on Spurs. Horror memories of that game against West Ham flooding back!

Must say, I do enjoy watching Arsenal play and obviously being from West Footscray and having never travelled to England it's hard to feel hatred (or anything close) towards them. I understand them as a massive rival and dislike them as a "big 4" team - but they're very good to watch and have done very well this season with only Fabregas (in patches!)

Come on you Spurs! Do yourself a favour and get onto the highlights at some stage today. Danny Rose, 9 minutes into his first match - what a strike!

Bloody great news mate!

Vics win!

Victory grand final into extra time. We were completely out of it until the equalizer then had chances to win it in the last ten. Both sides couldve got a second goal, and probably a winner. Thompson's injury has been a killer

Nah uni today mate
