If we can bowl them out tomorrow which could happen as even England weren't in for that long I'd back England chasing less than 300 with nearly a day to play. From the current position I think we should have done enough not to loose the game which is a bonus, a draw would be a good start to a tricky looking series.

Butt looks like he's the real deal, something the Pakistanis haven't had for a while.
Mind you Hayden and Langer were too...

Yes Butt does look good,but then they have got some class players,and for some reason they aren't playing Afridi :? :shock:. Anyway it looked good on the Virgil front,he was in the nets and had a good run round so he may be okay for the next test  but i think K.P has injured himself now  |

i can see us not winning. the batting has been dodgy with the exception of Tresco, Freddy and Bell. i cant see us chasing 250 down and i think we will crumble chasing a small target like we almost did in the 4th ashes test at Trent Bridge. so a 200 target will win it for us i think.

226-3 at lunch ,which means they are 88-3.Sounds like the wicket has flattened out again we need the new ball. |

I think all results are possible,but if our bowlers can't do the business on that wicket then i can't see the Pakistan bowlers doing it,though i guess Kaneria[sp?]could come into it.I still think the draw is more likely though the wicket hasn't got a result in it,of course i've been wrong before :-))( |

i think we are in a string postion thinking about it. if we knock 1 or 2 more over fairly quickly then we could be looking at a target of 220 which is withing reach on that pitch

That fit Gorgie bird on sky put money on England winning the football, rugby and cricket at 16/1. Wish I had a slice at that!

do you mean georgie or actually gorgie (which unless I'm mistaken is something/somewhere scottish) I heard of some better odds that that flyign around, 28-1 before the weekend definately should have had some of it!
