It might, but this is still a bloody brilliant effort after Pakistan's first innings, so we need to hand out a load of credit to the team for a change.

Joe Root's so good.

This could be one of those cases where the umps take the players off with a result in sight.

I was sensing a theme from your posts this morning, and your refusal to watch any of Cook's innings!


I'm pretty non negotiable on Cook. An ideal scenario would be an England win, and Cook rather harshly being sacked as captain.

Mo goes.

To be fair to the batsmen it is quite difficult to score against such sharp spin.

Ridiculous. Four days played like a timeless Test and one day like an exhibition match.

Pitch has deteriorated pretty dramatically today. Lots of dust and lots of turn.
