Simon Burnton’s report from Multan has landed:
The contest between bat and ball has been captivating in this Test match, much more so than the run scorin’ record tumblin’ of the first game. It’ll all be over tomorrow either way, Pakistan will level the series with one to play or England will win it with a run chase for the ages. Again. Can both of those things be true? I’m not sure, but I am tired. Tired but happy. We’ll be back in the wee small hours to do it all over again.
Thanks for your company and comments and ta to Rob Smyth for doing the graveyard stint. I’ll leave on the below email from an OBO reader that put a shot in the arm and a smile on the face. Goodbye!
If ESPN’s ball by ball coverage is the New York Times of cricket then The Guardian’s OBO is the New Yorker with its *close* to real time, long form commentary on the beautiful game.
Love tuning into y’all’s coverage. For cricket literature, the OBO section of the Guardian is like TMS. Love your team’s work. It should never cease.”
