Ben Stokes, the captain is on course to win his 9th test out of last 10. That's already more wins in lesser tests than Cowdery, Willis, Gower, Hammond , Stewart, Greig, Gatting.
Most wins as Eng captain is Root with 27 wins!
Safe to say England is in Stokes era! #ENGvPAK
Watching England's 2022 Test team feels like the one-day team in 2015. They’re bold and unpredictable. The change to a more aggressive approach has been transformative. From 2015 I didn't have a clue how the one-day team might play and it was brilliant to watch. I have no idea what England will do in the next Test. Their style won't always work, but it's exciting and that's the point. It's almost enough to make me get up at 5am to listen. Almost. #cricket #ENGvPAK
What a fantastic display of Test cricket by Team England. And, also a lesson on how to take the 10th wicket. Well deserved win against a formidable Pakistan team, and the fast setting Sun ☀️

Look forward to the conclusion of the first test between England and Pakistan. After a blistering start by England, the last day is in anyone's hands. England still haven't gotten out of T20 mode.

Listening to TMS at the airport. Almost makes me believe it’s mid-August and not 2nd December.
Most runs scored in a single day of a test match happened in 1936 - 588 runs were scored in a day.
England started day 2 at 173/2 and declared their innings at 571/8.
Vijay Merchant & Syed Mushtaq Ali responded to be 190/0 at the end of the day.
#EngvPak might break it today.
Great result for England in the #T20WorldCupFinal - a nervous middle of the innings where the score seemed to be slipping away made for an exciting game.
Do we have to hear that awful Sweet Caroline song though?
