Pakistan need to come back fresh tomorrow and get them out quickly and then bat till tea on Day 4 at least.
 
Another appeal, not out again. These two have looked terrible and are very lucky to still be there.
 
Pakistan need to occupy the crease in the second innings for long period.... make sure result is out of reach for England.
 
Morgan gone. And I've just dropped my sandwich in the excitement.

Saeed owes me lunch.
 
That great player of spin, Eoin Morgan (equal to Younis Khan) has really shown his class in all three innings.

:ajmal you LEGEND!!! what a jaffa to get rid of Morgan, terrific catch by professor!!! Pakistan back in the game with a bang!

I said it, was just a matter of patience and bowling tight lines and wickets will come!!!

another intriguing day ahead tomorrow!
 
Jee oh Profosseraa !!! Tere musware.....

Hafeez asking Misbah to have one more feilder close to bat for long time now. Misbah listen to him and one more batsmenn gone.

I think other than Trott no other batsmenn played well. Trott was out 3 time. 2 review and 1 catch. England could never got so many runs. But still good !!!
 
Right, Morgan needs to go. Utter rubbish, didn't have a clue.

Match is back to 50/50, well played to Pakistan for fighting back.
 
Yes but there is no point in having wickets if you don't take the game away from the other side. Ajmal is capable of bowling an unplayable delivery at any time. England going from 150-1 to 300 all out is a HUGE possibility. Up the scoring rate and lots of good things happen. And I'm not saying play like Sehwag, just not under 2.5 for God's sake.

England pwned.
 
Awesome. As Rameez was saying Pakistan have a habit now of fighting back under Misbah and fight they did!
 
Still England's day but not by much... all depends if we can get some early wickets tomorrow
 
Pakistan have 50 runs to play with tomorrow....... need to make most of it........ turn the heat on.
 
Ajmal and Rehman should have bowled a lot more together, Rehman didn't bowl a lot at all.
 
Perfect end to the day!

England slightly ahead, but Pakistan slash Ajmal hold momentum!
 
Ajmal needs to get Prior first ball tomorrow. :ajmal

Swann's slogging could get England a handy lead.
 
i done...i done..i done...i done...i doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....bell ki bajadi ghanti
 
The umpires would want to set up an Enquiries Desk behind the stumps with a laptop, phone and speakers because there have been plenty of shouts today. The spinners have created opportunities this final session

sledging today ????????
 
That just shows how good was cook and Trott's innings

trott should've been back in the pavilion on 23 when umpire decided to snooze on a plumb lbw and unfortunately we didn't review and cook had 2 potential catches just evade azhar at silly mid on...but ya good innings from both none the less...
 
Hopefully Prior & the tail can give us some sort of a lead. Disappointing day in the end, we had the game by the scruff of the neck.
 
Pakistan Batting in the second innings would decide this Test match. England I expect would take some sort of lead Unless :ajmal gets into this..... I think Pakistan need to set England at least 275 target to win this game.
 
brilliant fightback from Pakistan, game that was heavily in favour of England now back in the balance.

3rd innings absolutely crucial, cannot fall apart in our batting.
 
If you get KP out, Bell and Morgan are out of nick so they will follow, then it's another Prior repair job.....

Just call me Mystic Rob.

I have no idea why Morgan is in the test side.

Forgetting bias, this has been a great test match so far. One of the most entertaining I've seen for a long time and a close finish looks on at this stage.
