IF England bat... I have a bit more confidence in Pakistan's bowlers it seems than some of the others here.

You're the one that brought up the draw...if you don't think they can, then it makes even less sense to try to get faster score.

*sigh*
I clearly stated that the only way I see a draw is if the bowlers don't have enough time to take wickets...not because they are not good enough.

And what we're saying is that there's more than enough time for Pakistan to continue scoring at this rate and still have a certain amount of time to bowl out England. And this certain amount of time is not long enough so as to allow England a chance to win and not short enough to allow them a chance to draw.

and my point is that they should NOT be scoring at this rate if they're able to score faster without taking any undue risks. an inability to do so reflects negatively on the batting talent of the fellas in the middle.

I didn't disagree with that. Not sure if that's possible though.

lol talk about pedantics. England aren't winning this if Pakistan declare this very instant.

Could've sworn that had an inside edge. Ah well, as I said before, goal has to be to bat out the day and hopefully amass a 400 lead.

Who thinks Azhar can get 200?

Well his highest First Class score is 153. I'm not backing him.

And no one in the world has ever scored a double century in test cricket without scoring 1 in first class cricket.

Yeah not unhappy with the call at all. Was very close indeed.
Panesar spinning the ball well. Rehman and Ajmal licking their chops aws.

Shafiq has looked the most comfortable out of all the batsman, so expecting a big one from him as well.

I didn't say it was impossible ffs. I just think it's unlikely given he's not shown any ability to make really big scores before. He's struggled to get to three figures even when he's batted well at Test level and his other other hundred before today ended on exactly 100. Add to that the fact that he hasn't even got anywhere close in First Class cricket and history is against him. It just makes it.. not a good bet, basically.
