England vs. Pakistan

75 overs day 1
506/4
6.75 run rate
4 Centuries

if all 90 overs were played they would have smashed records for sure.

Admirable or crazy declaration by England. Time will tell.

After amassing well over 600 runs in the first innings. They have declared in the second innings, setting Pakistan 343 runs to win with about 130 overs left. Around 39 overs will be bowled today.

You could have chosen your odds on a Pakistan win yesterday. Well over 25s. Could have been 50s at one stage. Now 16/10.

The instigator was a race horse owner, M Aronstam and bookmaker as well. Owned a very good filly called Dancal.

At the subsequent match-fixing hearings, the judge asked (Derek) Crookes to come forward...about 4 players got up !!

Well done England. Crazy decision but worked out in the end.
