If something similar to Lord's happens tomorrow (i.e. Butt getting out first ball), then maybe a draw can be a good result

A Pakistan victory is still very possible. At the start of the day I said to myself that anything over 335 and England are in with a good chance.. but with Harmison falling just now it looks like England will be more around the 310/320 mark.

If the big 3 click then Pakistan could almost walk it.. but.. how likely is that?
 
That was close 1st up. Might have been an inside leg.

Surprised Dr Doctrove didnt give it out
 
monty hit plumb on foot 2wice, not given on both occasions!

ok deal.


may the best man win (of course me will :11:
 
Nazir should'nt give any bonus runs to england we need these two wickets quickly. Pakistan openers must come out confidently and take the attack to the english bowlers. No need to have a fear of failure.
 
stupid son of ***** doctrove, how long is this gona go on!

not very likely, bill. anything in excess of 220, i had said would be much and 300+, is certainly monstrous.
 
And 2nd up -its just pitching outside leg.

Dr Doctrove secures another 12 month contract on the ICC Elite Chumps Panel

If harmission can hit a four's on this wicket then no reason why we cant get 350 on the last day...

Yes but Harmison closes his eyes and swings the bat... a strategy that doesnt really work in the long run..admittadly a startegy pak openers often follow.. ;)
 
someone has to tell Monty, its 12'O clock....and he would leave for lunch maybe......
 
Basically - raw pace to Monty. Knock his paghri off. And york him next ball.

So simple :)

Imagine the fat that would come out.. Thanks for putting that image in my head...
 
83.4 Umar Gul to Harmison, OUT, clever captaincy from Khan, there. Mid-off had come up for that one and the move paid off as Harmison sent a tame catch there off a ball which was well pitched up
SJ Harmison c sub b Umar Gul 4 (9b 1x4 0x6) sr: 44.44

ALLAH O AKBAR ! ...Shukar hai ALLAH ka.

Monty needs to go quickly or read. This is really clever captaincy, i felt it was time to bring sami back to clean up the tail cause of his extra pace nd younis has done just that by bringing sami on. :19:

Well done Read - always thought you should be playing. Just wish Jones was though.
 
Monty looking very assured - getting the whole of his body behind his forward defensive shots

So what do you think guys? Still think a win is possible for us?

No chance, as much as one wants to dream, i cant see us chasing 300+ on a day 5 wkt.
 
Pakistan has only ever chased 300+ once in test match.

315 v Aus in karachi in 1994.
 
Fair play to Read...but now that he's got his 50....that's enough.

Just like to add that if it weren't for pieterson's deceiving, deliberate cheating...we would have been way in front.

Also Jack Bannister sounds really FLAT now that we're on top. He's so BIAS as well. Is there any escaping this??? SKY, Channel5, TalkSport, Radio4...they're all so BIAS and unappreciative...unles it's the aussies.

He's really worked hard on his fielding and batting.
