Well done to Root, some player

These two and the next two batters need to get upto Pakistan score if we do cant see us losing! We bat really well ramp up that run rate go ahead of Pakistan we have a chance of winning but long way of that

Huge stadium and barely a sole there.
Makes a Lancs County Championship crowd look big.
May as well play in the local park

Didn't realise they're playing at the Etihad ;-)

The pitch is an absolute road but England’s batting line-up seems a bit unbalanced. If they nip out two more quickly, we could be in trouble.

Last hour of the day Pakistan bowlers be knackered we be getting 100 runs in that hour I'd guess if we have these two still in

As long as we don’t collapse, I see nothing but a boring draw..

On this pitch we'd get it in a session.

Well; we got it. Not quite in a session, mind! Congratulations to Root, he's been a fantastic player for us. Pity the captaincy didn't work out for him in the end. But it's not an easy role to fulfill.

Yep, the first target should be matching their score but I think we need to be posting a score of 700-ish to have a chance of forcing a win.

There's a decent chance Pope is the only player in the top 7 who doesn't get a 50.

Well it’s certainly a boring game but good see the England batters getting big scores
