360 is safe OI'd say but if any of our bowlers are a bit of kilter this innings they might just get taken apart.
We have 5 so I don't think there's much risk, and Misbah defended a lot in the field yesterday so I don't expect them to force the issue today.

How many runs until he's not risking defeat in your view?
It's probably more of a rough calculation of what Pakistan's required rate would be. Giving them 90-odd overs chasing just over 300 would have been reckless. You're essentially telling them that if they bat out the day on a flat pitch they'll win the match.

By adding a quick 30 runs and taking a handful of overs out of the match moves that required rate up to 4 an over.

I'd still class this declaration as being on the attacking side of a good time to declare. Wouldn't have blamed Cook at all if he'd let Moeen go another over or two.

Interesting to see how Pakistan play. Hafeez will probably play his shots, as usual, and if it comes off for once the pressure is on England.
