Bell has held one...he is definitely scoring a ton now...confidence must be sky high

It might've been covered earlier in the topic (but it's 19 pages long) but has anyone else been stupid enough to to go over there?

I booked a holiday to Dubai without knowing this tour was on so I'm going to an ODI in Abu Dhabi

well played malik!!!  finally out

@mattcoll12491 ive been once visited family in abu dhabi!! not much to do much sunbathe and keep cool unless you like shopping!! although there are a few water parks and ferrari world in abu dhabi, the cricket ground is lovely i happened to be ober there when warwickshire played the mcc in the annual county championship match! nice ground but not the biggest was even emptier than it is for the test match there was only myself and my dad in at one point!!! free entry day nighter and no interest!

245 and his first test in 5 years. Not a bad effort!

Should Cook rush Rashid back on now? Normally good at cleaning up the tail for Yorkshire and a couple of wickets might give him a small confidence boost!

[northernboy1987]

Too late haha

Declaration 523/8

Chances of England being 4 down or more by close?

Well batted Malik!
so Bell's drops only cost 188 runs....whereas Broad overstepping cost 205 runs! Not sure how he can make that one up! Although with the batting form Bell is in, I am struggling to imagine how he will make up those 188 runs as well!
Shame for England. If it hadn't been for those mistakes, Pakistan would have been all out for 300 or less. And would have made for an much more interesting game!!
But with 500+ to chase, England will no doubt go into their shell and play survival mode and their only aim will be trying to avoid being bowled out twice before Saturday!!!
