Batted, Chef

[brokenbat]

Given how flat the pitch seems, is a draw on the cards?? Surely worth a small bet?

[Kulli]

Draw is only 2.1 now so no value in it.

[rickjames]

Highest successful chase at Edgbaston (I think) is 283...

[rickjames]

An opening partnership of 100. What?

[smilley792]

Pakistanis lead is no more. Ten wickets left! Didn't see that coming.

Batting fourth on this wicket?  I will be surprised if Pakistan can chase anything over 220.

Sohail Khan being the most expensive so far - not surprised.

[Wills]

Hope England make a bold declaration at some point tomorrow rather than forcing Pakistan's hands to block out for the draw.

Reckon England will be looking for 300 runs a lead of 200 should be enough to win  with a declaration tomorrow  with around 20 overs left to bowl in the day .

A sprinkling of rain tomorrow would certainly juice things up

[Seniorplayer]

Warm sunny day with cloud cover for edgebaston tomorrow

that would be VERY brave. think 300 needed at minimum - so pak has no option but to play for a draw

Yes 300  200 run lead wicket has started to turn its going to be difficult to bat on day 5.

The way Cook is going we will have 300 by lunch and he will be in the phone to Morgan about the one day series !!

Seriously pitches these days are made for sponsors. It would be nice to see just some of them deteriorate to get results

Even if it down go up and down some turn makes a more interesting game. I don't really get it to be honest, in club cricket all it needs to turn is to be dry..

So many factors can affect performance.. Most club wickets use cheap loam.. Layer it up year on year etc, never do the drilling necessary to break it down post season and all that jazz

Plus, what normal club cricketers call roads are probably green seamers to pro bowlers. So a club wicket that's turning would probably be a minefield with warne/murali bowling etc.
