A record set at Edgbaston fell today - England's highest ever Test partnership, set in 1957 when Peter May and Colin Cowdrey added 411 together. Root and Brook went well beyond that with 454.

Just watching on TV third test and am quite surprised how sparse the crowd is, compared to the India v New Zealand test. Are there reasons or is this a trend on the sub continent or just in Pakistan. Perhaps a sign of things to come in the UK. Or the reason the Authorities are flogging off the 100 at an indecent speed!
