Twitter reacts to Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes leading England to 3-wicket win over Pakistan
There was a big roar from the English dressing room as they chased a challenging target of 277 thanks to a magnificent partnership between Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes in the first test at Old Trafford. The Twitterati went berserk as well after watching one of the best turnarounds in Test cricket.
Test cricket is the best cricket
What Pak missed today,England had in abundance. Self-belief, character, skill and match winners like Buttler & Woakes. Top effort to bounce back from conceding a 107-run lead in the 1st innings & being 117/5 battling last under pressure. You've got to love test cricket!#ENGvsPAK

Brilliant performance by Woakes and Buttler
Test Cricket, even in the bubble is still great theater. You can't undervalue the character with which England achieved that win, from 117-5. Im sure back stronger nezt week. Stay "Woakes" everyone.

What a fightback from England
In the first innings, England lost top order 3 wickets for less than 15 and in second innings half the side was gone before 120. Chase of 277 against this quality Pakistan attack means they showed better fighting qualities than Pak. #ENGvPAK #PakvsEng #TestCricket

Buttler and Woakes played a game-saving partnership
Brilliant from Buttler and Woakes. Had the skill but it was the attitude that took them home. And with 70 left the opposing captain was looking like the game was lost!!
