If Swann stays for 30-45 more mins then he surely will take England's tally to 325

Swanneh showing the top order how it's done, what a player.

Tea, England looking strong and will be a cracker of an evening session.

Difference being Swann is actually a decent batsman...

Swanneh. WAG.

That's out. I gave it out in real time, and the UDRS backs that up. Lazy shot from Swann.

As much as I love Swanneh, his tendency to hit a bright 20-odd and then get out when looking in form is starting to get rather frustrating.

Yet another England innocuous dismissal (TM)
Really don't like to kill games off England do they. That's partly what made the T20 World Cup so surprising.

I'd be worried about that if he was a specialist batter. Not an issue for me.

He's a number 8 who averages 30. I'm ok with that. Especially as he usually adds some impetus to the scoring.

I would be pretty happy with if your main bowler can do this at no 8.

Pakistan need their biggest ever fourth innings score....this one is done
You do have a point like but there is nothing to worry about

It was mentioned on Cricinfo that Kaneria is the 4th highest wicket taker in Test cricket (of active players), he was behind turbinator, Vettori and Kallis. A lot of the best batsmen around in the game are also over the hill and nearing retirement.
In this era looking at the other Test teams about England should really be the number #1 Test side, if not all-round cricket side in the not too distant future. The only real rival is South Africa. But they really need to be much more ruthless than they have been, particularly against tailenders and also in their selections to a degree.
It's all ripe for England to take over international cricket. If they put away Pakistan and then the minnows over Christmas and New Year then things are well on their way.
