Wonder what the pitch be like halfway through day 3? Surly it will do something

Roads don't deteriorate so quickly and i doubt any major changes on day 5 even, an odd ball might misbehave but that's about it. England's best bet would be to get reverse swing going somehow and taking couple of wickets which will allow them to put pressure and induce mistakes, other than that this looks like a draw by all accounts

Get the Pakistani tail out with a lead of 100. Quickfire 250-300 in the second innings, then bowl the Pakistani lads on day 5. Simple.

That's what's going to happen and it could well be a good watch.

Unless we get them out and have at least 100 lead we still need the pitch to deteriorate rapidly to have ANY chance of winning!

Finally got a spinner that will oust one dimensional Leach out this England side! Jacks has more to his bow than leach and showed it on a flat do nought pitch! Leach and jacks will both start next game Livingstone out for Foakes!

It’s time now for leach to gradually be eased out and jacks to come in a young tall spinner who can bat too!

We 2 for 114 we need another 180 at least we should get! another couple of another quick wickets will make it interesting! We will keep attacking because the Moto is there willing to lose a game in order to win one..
