At the fall of both wickets ,the look of amazement on the batsmen faces,no way am I out,skullduggery cheating going on.

Since the fall of the wickets the run rate is about one run per over.

Well, just switched on and seen the score, and what England were out for, and I'm slightly uneasy now, despite those two early wickets. We really needed a lead of 350 or so to put it beyond them. If a couple of them dig in, they've got all the time in the world. Depends how the pitch deteriorates, I suppose.

We had a lead of 355.

If Pakistan win this Test it'll be their second highest ever successful chase.

It does feel 50/50 but I think the advantage is with England.

Ah, my mistake. Misread the info on the BBC website.

Pakistan going nowhere now we will keep chipping at the wickets

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Nah, we got this. Pakistan are actually afraid of us. Have been since what we did to them in the first test.
I'd be curious to know what proportion of five-day Tests actually go the full distance these days. My purely anecdotal impression is that it's dropped to about fifty percent or so. Anyone know the stats, by any chance? For England matches? And globally?

Think we may lose this one…….

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Well, I spoke too soon. The reward for arrogance. Is this game slipping away from England?

Well, this one certainly won't, barring some unforeseen intervention from the weather.
