Meanwhile in the world of Cricket, an absolute bonkers of a match in Pakistan between the home nation and England. Pakistan hit 556 in their first innings (that is a lot!). Three players with a century (100+ runs), think of it like a basketball player scoring 50 points. England goes up to bat, hits 823, and they declared because... well there are only 5 days in a test match at it was in the middle of the fourth! Root hit for 262 runs, Brook hit for 317!!! 823 runs is the 4th highest ever. Only 32 batters have hit more than 300 runs in the 2553 national test matches that have been played.
So the bowlers aren't accomplishing anything out there. England need 10 wickets... and to hold Pakistan to 266 runs... and do it in the 4 sessions remaining (1.3 days). And by the end of today, they managed to give up only 152 runs and take 6 wickets. Meaning England has an amazing chance of winning this game which seemed due for a draw.
