England lead by 189.

Plenty of time left. Could even have it won today.

It's a handy lead on the minefield that is a Headingly pitch under cloudy skies. Not saying another 40 or 50 wouldn't have been useful, mind.

Just got in and caught up jimmy pritching it up and getting wickets message there! We probably be chasing 50 runs to even the test match up I reckon.

This will be almost definitely be over today. Pakistan 102-6, still 87 behind. If England get another couple of quick wickets, can they claim that "extra half hour" immediately and delay the tea break, or can that only be done at the scheduled end of the day?
