We are scoring a lot slower than Pakistan at this stage.

Typical Ian bell

To be fair, not to score a hundred here is a noteworthy failure.

Joe Root should be aiming to bat till Saturday evening.... get a treble

A nightwatchman? On this pitch? :facepalm

Laughable.

Although not funny now.

Root comes out now.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 2:27 pm

Might get a full 90 overs in today.

by **Aidan11** » Thu Oct 15, 2015 2:35 pm

11 wickets in 3 days. None to spin.

bell dropped hafeez who made 98 and shafiq who made a century both very early on

malik who made the double hundred was dismissed by broad on 40 but it was a no ball

how to turn 200 all out into 550

hmm.... worse than i thought, then

still.... on the bright side.... Cook has scored a thousand runs, and that's really all that matters

Cook's innings and fitness is awesome. 167 on any type of wicket is a good innings. Moreover, he field almost two days in hot climate and now he bat more than a day after all that time on field. :salute

Gotta feel sorry for the umpires having to stand in the heat and concentrating on every ball knowing that most of the time nothing is happening.

Any way for England to try and force a result. Maybe finish the innings an hour before close tomorrow, and hope Pakistan are just to tired and loose a few wickets before close of play....

England have some clean hitters lower down the order, but can they force the score along.

No one can win this game on this surface, only lose it

Honestly with the ease cook played the bowlers today I could see him batting all of tomorrow as well

It's not like they are going to bore him out
