If we piss 494 mate I reckon 500 will be ok

Just not sure how much play we’ll get

600 is par apparently on this pitch,but didn't think we'd get anywhere near that,might not yet if the usual collapse commences in the morning

Hopefully enough for Brook to get 5 more.

Stokes either getting out cheaply or will end up breaking some records.

That’s mad if it’s true. That’s not a good test match wicket.

How many results have there been here?

Said it on radio this morning.

Quick look at stats from tests there - Last 12 tests there have been 8 results and 4 draws

So we still have a decent chance of losing this test, even though we’re 480-4!

Bet there’s a value bet to be made on that.

It's a funny game isn't it! All we've really done is scored at such a rate that there should be a result, but we're not necessarily miles ahead in terms of runs...yet!

Mostly because most people lump on England anyway, never mind at 488-4.

If there have been 8 results in 12 games and par score in the first innings is 600, 14/1 is a decent bet.
