3.2 overs: Pakistan 9-0 (Imam 3, Fakhar 6) Imam misses an attempted pull off Wood, staggers towards square leg and then falls over. He’s wriggling around, clearly in a lot pain, and needs treatment. I think it hit him on the elbow, and I suspect he’ll need to retire hurt.
3rd over: Pakistan 9-0 (Imam 3, Fakhar 6) Archer’s control of line and length are so impressive, and he ends another superb over by snaking a lifter past Fakhar’s outside edge. Archer has figures of 2-0-3-0. This chap is laughably good. I think you can get 200-1 on him being Sports Personality of the Year, which is pretty tempting.
“I can’t find the quote, but I’m sure one of the mouthy Australian captains (I’m guessing Waugh?) said something along the lines of, ‘If you score 300 runs a day, you will win Test matches’,” says Matt Dony. “Looking at the way ODI’s have gone, and especially England’s hilarious chasing-down of totals, what would be the figure to pretty much guarantee you win a 50-over match? What do Pakistan need to score? Is there a figure? Is there a number of runs that would make them overwhelming favourites?”
