Sooooo, stemguard talk

England to lose by 150 runs lol

You beat me to it! I was going to start a sweepstake on how many england will lose by

Personal choice, can't force someone to wear one

[Neon Cricket]

Sooooo, stemguard talk

Snap - nasty one that. Surprised he isn't wearing Shrey's version of the guard!

[petehosk]

We really have bottled this haven't we, 281 and rising...

I think that missed stumping, dropped catches and other mistakes have lost of this Test!
We would have been chasing under 200 if we had of taken even some of the chances! But can't see us getting anywhere near this total on this wicket and batting 4th!
2-0 to Pakistan, which is a disappointment after the first Test!

Bit late for putting a Shrey stem guard on now isn't it?

[Jamesfield]

looked painful

England going at nearly 10 an over, they're gonna chase it down before Stumps

Most captains would have opened with a spinner at one end.

[ppccopener]

Moeen is just not geared up to open the batting, it's a specialist position.We have bowled some pies in this test, mo,samit and Rashid but I feel a bit sorry for Ali- up the order in Div 2 of the championship and trying to open in a test against proper bowling is the same game only in 'name'

we are gonna go down here I just hope it's with a real go at it.

[rickjames]

Aggressive positive England? OK!

[northernboy1987]

Moeen's not gonna die wondering is he!? David Warner 4th innings special coming up?

[csnew]

David Warner 4th innings special coming up?

Warner certainly never done it on the sub continent 

[petehosk]

I don't think it will happen.....but if Ali were to hit a big and fast score, then some of the pundits will be shouting about Ali finally making his mark as an opener! 

We need to find 3 things from these Tests!
1. Someone to open the batting with Cook (NOT ALI!)
2. A quality wicket taking spinner - eg. Another Swann!
3. Improve catching!

We need to stay focused on these!

Not a very big target but it is the 4 th day and both sides are really tested out by now. I think England can pull this off, Pakistan bowlers have not had a good run in this series.
