    One point to be ware of is that there is no cut-off time today - so England will have to bowl all 84 overs regardless of time. Of course, they will want to anyway- but could actually bowl MORE than 84 if they get the over rate going - then again Pakistan cant slow the over rate down either.

    if an England opener did that in this situation he'd be hounded out of cricket. he'd have to become a golfer or something

    Guessing he played a stupid shot. What did he do

    Gently helped a short ball into long-leg's hands, off the middle of the bat

    Age seems to have finally caught up with Younis, although Misbah seems to have hot better.

    Thought we needed 4 down by tea to have a chance with their fragile tail.

    We'll do well to save this match and get a draw.

    Man of the Match? Extremely difficult, this. I'd consider Moeen obviously, for his near-150 runs, but you'd ideally want one of the fast bowlers. But which one? All of them, shared? I'd also consider Cook himself

    Extremely difficult chance, but Vince definitely seems to drop more than he catches.

    Cook, if England win. Whoever hits the winning runs if Pakistan win.

    Well we did more than well didn't we ?

    Absolutely superb performance.

    Can't wait for Thursday at The Oval. My mate still has a £75 spare if anyone wants it.

    Two matches running, Cook's captaincy has proven far better than his biggest detractors would like to admit.

    He's improved a lot. He's had to
