2025-2026 Summer of Cricket

Cracking first day for England v Pakistan in our first post-Bazball Test. Bowled them out for 171 then still kept a decent run rate without being daft to get to 112-2 after 25 overs. Rain forecast for tomorrow though.

366/8 at 4.46 rpo … that’s still too fast for a test match! Bazball lives!!!

Seriously though, haven’t heard much about Fleming, has he made much of an impact yet?

He doesn’t start coaching England until their next test series. Marcus Trescothick is the interim coach.

England have throughly outplayed Pakistan so far in this game.

And the run rate hasn’t been achieved by slogging or all out aggressive play. Rather, a mixture of putting the bad balls away and, at times, some atrocious fielding from Pakistan.

Do wish Brook would have got his ton though.
