    They are saying its a slow pitch & a bit skiddy. Par score is around 260 for Cardiff. I hope we can get 280 ish.

    A typically turgid English style pitch. Darren Stevens would have caused mayhem with his bowling!

    I think we need 250 and it could be enough.

    We are making it hard for ourselves. Think we are struggling - it only takes one of their batsmen to tee off. Maybe @golfaddick was right?

    In all honesty if we are struggling on this pitch I can't see Pakistan fairing any better

    That's what I think/hope. The pitch is a bit slower and it's probably not a 300 wicket, even for us.

    We need Stokes and Buttler to stay together at least 10 overs here.

    148-5

    Moeen could be key here , usually very good against sides who put less pace on the ball

    Just as I said a couple of days ago - we are going to lose. Pakistan all over us like a cheap suit & we'll be lucky if we get to 220.

    Of the 3 grounds we could have played us, this is the one which gives Pakistan the best chance of beating us

    On either of the other grounds, our stroke players would have been able to attack and dominate their bowling.

    Call me optimistic, but I still back England.

    Ali gone, we're in big trouble here. Might not even bat out the overs.

    Fair play to the Pakistani's, decent tight bowling all round.

    Shambles.

    Stokes might as well go for it now. Plodding along with singles at 3-4 an over isn't going to help. That said, they're bowling very very well.
