Performance anxiety; Bell and Ali have too much weight on their shoulders. Ali was also trying too hard to emulate Cook's style of play.

Cook might become the best gritty test opener since Gavaskar. He's dull to watch, but he does an opener's job well. Kraigg Brathwaite would do well to emulate Cook.

Cook has a chance to make over 300. Conditions are perfect for a massive massive score.

Well great batting by the English batsmen lead by captain Cooke. He looks like he will make a double century but not sure about the triple century though.

Cook was absolutely magnificent. He now ties Jaques Kallis for most centuries by a non-Asian batsman in Asia with 8, although Cook has done so in 7 fewer Tests.

Cook gets an inside edge and is dropped by Sarfraz as England bring up the 300.

First mission accomplished by England by managing to avoid the follow-on. Imran Khan getting the ball to reverse and posing a few problems.

200 for Cook. A brilliant, defiant knock even on such a turgid pitch. Root looking in very good nick too. 393/3.

If Root goes to 200, Cook can get his 300. Both these guys are quality, especially on a pitch like this.

Root falls; the Cookie Monster continues to munch away.

I wonder what type of lead England will look for.

MaleahNow that Joe Root has 2 centuries in Australia, I assume those Australian fans, who said he couldn’t be classed as great unless he achieved that, will now say he is?? Given that the great Steve Smith has never scored a test ton in Pakistan….(05.01.2026, 12:31)(12:31)0

WalkerHavent watched one ball of ILT20, Big Bash, BPL or SA20.

Just dont have the capacity to take in all the mindless hitting - it's cricket for the sake of cricket at this stage.
