starsports who own the global rights are asking a much higher price by the sounds of it

Sky baulked at the fee they were quoted on all accounts so theyre trying to sell the rights elsewhere. Wont be the first recent series to come down to brinkmanship over the rights in the UK, expect it will get sorted a few days before the series and we'll get full coverage, just whether it requires yet another subscription

Read in the ‘I’ today it could be BT and C4 taking 1 live test or Sky or Star sports may stream through their Channel. Talking about keeping options open

Needs sorting as I will need a BT subscription for a couple of months. Less than 1 week.

Don't know if it has already been commented upon but Fahad Alam's stance when facing the quicks achieves the impossible.

It makes Peter Willey seem orthodox. Not knowing the guy I looked up to see him for the first time and for a moment couldn't work out if he was left or right handed.

Still it's a good fight back by Pakistan.

That dig went a long way to winning them the test. Ton on that deck is good going. We bowled pretty poorly ion day 2 though.

Would be great if some of it is on C4. Unfortunately newspaper reports are saying that they will have Airhorn Vaughan and the world's biggest ego as part of their commentary team.

All we need now is Boycott, Swann and the analyst Simon Hughes and it will be ear-bleedingly awful!

They did a really good job. I was impressed

Oh good!

That means Darren Gough ?

Still, that should at least keep him away from talking his usual tripe on football. ?

Maybe just me but thought they were awful

They’re commentators on cricket Philip, not hockey. You have no say in this

Jame Vince on 98 - they need one to win from 18 balls , game over pretty much so what does the Aussie do - yep bowl a bouncer knowing it will be a wild - cheap trick

I'm sure he isn't bothered in the slightest, all about winning the game.

All it shows is the usual lack of class from down under.

If I was bowling there’s no way I’d deliberately bowl a wide. I’d be letting myself down.

I remember this happening in a school match. We were going to lose so our team bowled a no ball to leave the batsman stranded on 98no. It was the bowler's decision, with a bit of egging on from the giggling keeper and slip cordon. First XI so we were 17-18.

I laughed at the time too, but I was due to bowl the next over and I don't think I would have deliberately bowled a wide or no ball.

get ready to listen to Vaughan and KP for the next few mths, CH4 sound like theyve done the deal

That's really frustrating. C4 won't be able to give the cricket the same level of focus that sky can.

Talk that fans are going to be allowed in, only a few hundred for the first test but theyre talking about 50% capacity for the 2nd test, so 25,000 fans Some jump from secure bubbles that if it happens!
