Cometh the hour cometh Leach. Time is stand up even if he just contains and gives the quicks a bit of respite because figures of 62-11-242-2 in the game aren't exactly great

And he does stand up!!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! How is that missing?????
90 runs needed at probably about 3 an over given the light issues
How much play would we realistically get after tea based on previous days? 1.5 hours?
Would they play on a bit longer even if getting dark if a result was imminent (say Pak needing 20 runs)?
Probably a maximum of 25 overs I would have thought to be bowled at the pace we want to bowl them out depending on the match conditions. They will come off based on the reading when they came off first in the Test.
Atherton reckons about 20 overs to go. Pakistan lose a quick wicket and they will probably shut up shop. As a result of that, in the space of 10 minutes the prices have now moved to:
I can only assume that the review system takes no account of the dead pitch
And this is probably a very pertinent question. Is DRS updated according to pitch conditions or does it just take some sort of uniformal estimate based on historic pace, where it pitches and distance to travel? It won't be able to do that to the nth degree because the brand new ball taken by Leach in the first innings will bounce far more than the one bowled by him in the 73rd over of the second innings even if it pitches in exactly the same spot.
Pakistan coming out with some serious intent since tea.
12 balls, 0 runs.
I think that they decided that they wanted to take it deep and then launch their attack rather than risk losing a wicket straightaway and expose the tail with 20 overs plus to go

We either get 5 wickets or they will get the runs in time.
