*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

We need some serious application from the middle order; time for any two of Messers Trott, Pietersen, Collingwood or Morgan to stand up with a ton. We get 300+ ahead I think we're in the box seat; MoYo can't do it all on his own.

Long way off that yet tho; have visions of Prior having to marshall the tail towards a defenbable total, myself. Hope I'm wrong.

It's weird but England are even more precariously poised than Australia were at the end of day 2 of the second test at Headingly when they were effectively -34/2 or something (after being bowled out for 88).I think Pak are def in the driver's seat now.Cook is a walking wicket against Asif,as is Pietersen.All they need to do is make sure Moorgan,Collingwood and Prior don't score much.My money is on Pak bowling Eng out for 200 or thereabouts,and chasing the 130-140ish target with a few wickets to spare.

Sounds about right, albeit you fancy England to make more runs than I do.

Bigger picture is that you have to be pleased for Pak if they do win this, but I'm seriously unhappy with our batting this summer.

wishful thinking on your part buddy..Pakistan have been traditionally poor losers...we were once chasing 146 against South Africa, bundled out for 92, and that team had Anwar, Inzamam, Ijaz, Salim Mallik etc

To be fair to the Eng bats,they've been up against arguably the best pace attack in world cricket today.Amir and Asif in this kind of form would make life difficult for anyone and everyone.

I hope you're right - obv they also made life hard for the Aus batters, which may be a good sign.

Wow. Cook gets a massive slice of luck there. Huge edge between slips, neither went for it. Hopefully that'll be the luck he needs to go on and make a big score.

Thread is strangely quiet.

Session has been okay so far. Sounds like Cook has had a bit of luck.

50 up for Cook. Very well played, and in quick time coming off 77 balls. If you were watching this innings with no prior knowledge you'd actually think he was in pretty good knick. Has played nicely.
