    England have beaten Pakistan by an innings and 55 runs. Well done Joe and the team.

    We'll done! Still don't get the point of a 2 game test series though.

    Agree any series can of course end in a draw but a 2 game series just seems silly.

    They are having a load of ODIs now, because they will be having the ODI World Cup this time next year and they want to play on June wickets in June weather to reflect how it might be next year. They managed to slip in a 2 test series as a bonus.

    With the sad demise of the adult attention span we have ushered in endless pyjama cricket. Who actually gives a toss or can even remember what happened even six months previous in any form of sloggit?

    It’s becoming a rarity for tests to go the distance. We’re breeding cricketers who have no idea how to build an innings. Financial disaster for the host county who miss out on two days of custom

    Brilliant today. Some of England's young cricket players are excellent.
