  • Those 2 missed catches are going to be telling.
  • This partnership has probably left us too much to do.

    Chasing a total around 240 we might have an outside chance. 
  • Salman goes to his 50 with a 6 off Leach

    196-8 - a lead of 271
  • Jesus. its like Keystone Cops out there.
  • With this England team having chased some massive targets, and this Pakistan team having so many Spursy moments, you can't rule anything out.
  • Pakistan put on 57 for their final two wickets in the first innings. So far, they have made 50 and still have those two wickets intact. Those 107 runs, in the context of this game, are massive.

    On the flip side if Salman can score a Fifty on this 'day 8' wicket why can't England with their various X factor batsmen.🤔

    I still believe but we will have to bat positive and hope for not too many Jaffas on the 'day 9' wicket.
  • Potts has Sajid given out LBW. Reviewed and the batsman has hit the ball

    209-8 and 284 ahead

    We've seen in this last session the Pakistani batsmen slogging & sweeping without any trouble. What's the betting all our shots get caught in the deep.

    Oh dear! It sounds like Sajid had nicked the ball, he's given "not out" and DRS is down so no review available.

    DRS currently not working. Carse seems to get a thin edge that is given not out but can't get it referred. 

    Not our day is it.

    We can't blame outer forces for the three catches, including the one that Bashir made no attempt to dive for, we've not taken.
  • Salman caught at midwicket by Stokes for 63 (89) and reward for Carse for his efforts

    Pakistan are now 296 ahead with the one wicket to fall
  • Salmon finally out. 

    221/9. Lead of 296.

    Has the pitch calmed down now ?  Have the demons gone away so knocking off 300 won't be  a problem.
  • Final wicket to Potts

    297 to win
  • Confident we will chase down anything under 298
  • Salmon finally out. 

    221/9. Lead of 296.

    I doubt that it is easy to play on or, equally, unplayable at the moment. Have to be positive though, which we are, but shot selection and execution will be the most important factors on this track. 
  • McCullum:"Right lads, we scored 823/7 on this wicket in the first test; We only need 297 to win.That's 526 runs less"

    England players: "We believe Baz"
  • Can see Duckett getting out cheaply or finishing tonight 30 not out

    Duckett goes for the sweep on a wide ball and just top edges it for a duck

    Maybe not in the deep but our first shot in anger goes straight up & caught easily.

    FFS  !!
  • why is Pope trying to reverse sweep when there are 2 slips waiting when he can execute a normal sweep where there are no men waiting to catch. 
  • Crawley puts the sweep away and goes for a walk down the track instead, duly stumper by a country mile

    11-2
  • Here we facking go
  • Finding different ways to get out again.

    Nothing changes. 
  • We're going to be all out for about 85 here.
  • And the 2 "big hitters" at the top of the innings have gone. If we were going to win this it was getting off to a blistering start so that Root, Stokes etc wouldn't need to hang around for long.

    It will all be over by Lunch tomorrow. I expect us to crumble & be all out for under 150.

    prick! ;)
  • BBC saying that England's highest ever successful chase in Pakistan is 208. The highest by anyone other than Pakistan is 200 by Sri Lanka. Still, given that there's too much time left to even think about the draw, they really might as well have a go rather than lose by playing defensively.
