Not great for a guy who might be playing this series to save his test career.

Will mean sod all if he gets runs in the Tests!

The ball was doing tons early on, I don't think you can really blame Gay or Rew for their dismissals. Haines rode his luck and it eventually ran out.

And another simple slip catch goes down. It's almost as if Pakistan might not be the best fielding side in the world.
Luckily for them, Benkenstein is out two balls later.

Eugh. Horrible decision against Tear there.

Matthew Fisher for the vacant all-rounder role anyone?

Let's see how he bowls, eh. Feels like the PCC side have thrown away a commanding position here.

A very England innings, a lot of starts/50s but nobody able to kick on, ending up on a middling score that ended before the second new ball

Quite a Bazball innings in fact.
Probably good this game doesn't have FC status given some of the umpiring - Bilal Shafayat might've given most of these.

Some not so good umpiring decisions in the game today between County XI & Pakistan test team. Players looked unhappy with the decisions as well

All 14 players can take part in this match

Atkinson Robinson Archer Tongue are absolutely the bowlers they should be selecting.
Plenty of help from Root if needed.

The Falconer one is brilliant, none of the Pakistanis appealed yet the finger still went up, bowler looks genuinely surprised. Tear looks like his came off his thigh. The other two harder to judge, wasn't like the fielders weren't appealing for those.Probably good this game doesn't have FC status given some of the umpiring - Bilal Shafayat might've given most of these.

Atkinson and Tongue of Monosodium Glutamate vs Carse of Sunrisers Leeds tonight, then whoever wins that is playing in the final of the Hundred 3 days before the Test, a maximum of 6.4 overs in the 5 days before the Test apparently might be enough for them to take a precaution

England will have pulled rank even though he doesn't have a central contract.
Thankfully we have McKinney back and already has 94 runs and counting in two knocks for us after 66 in 6 at the Hundred

I was going to say, retiring not out when you’ve got 5 off 17 in your first game of the tour doesn't make sense! Serious injury, or will be be fit to play the Tests?
