Test Match Special commentary from Jonathan Agnew, Phil Tufnell and Geoff Boycott will remain on the BBC until 2019, after the corporation agreed a new rights deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

The BBC has announced a new six-year agreement to broadcast ball-by-ball radio commentary of all England's home internationals from 2014 to 2019.

The deal enables the corporation's Test Match Special team to offer live and exclusive radio coverage of all home Test, One-Day International and T20 series. It includes two home Ashes series in 2015 and 2019, along with the visit of India in 2014 and South Africa in 2017.

This extends the BBC's existing four-year rights deal, which was due to expire in 2013, and comes despite the corporation slashing its sports rights budget by 15% under a cost-cutting drive.

England move into the lead but lose Matt Prior and Ian Bell on day three of the second Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and are currently 279-7.

Now if only we can stretch that lead to about 100.

Just got in from work in time to see broad hit a six and get to his half century well done to him,every run is needed to get a decent lead,would be good to have a 100 + lead but its a big ask.

66 lead at lunch for England hope Andersen can hang around as Monty is not very renowned for his batting.

Excellent mornings work from the position England were in at the start the match has turned yet again.

I would imagine like the ball Saaf will put a good spin on it denphone.

As if to prove my point he is out.!
