*Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

Clearly Pakistan well ahead. We need to bat at least an hour tomorrow and get these arrears down below 30 I think.

Yeah I think the word Nasser used was brave for the Moeen call. Didn't look out live to me but the rules are the rules.

Ump will never give a Broad one out when they opposing team have 2 challenges left at 70 overs. Way too far down the pitch.

Also our batting lineup needs changing. Vince on thin ice. Hasn't looked a player at all tbh.

Have to give Broad some credit there. If you could pick what he'd like to face least it would be quick left armers and leg spinners but he did ok.

He did better against Yasir than most of the middle order. Woakes was brilliant, completely rock solid.

Summer in England really is the most depressing thing on earth.

And surely lords engineers could have managed it so being in the lower Compton and edrich stands isn't quite so awful from a viewer's perspective. For such a famed and lovely ground I don't think either of those depressing dark metal jungles do the ground justice. However great days play, much better than yesterday. Cmon Pakistan!

Borthwick must wonder what he has to do - sign for Middlesex, Surrey or Yorkshire is, I suspect, the answer
Yeah he should follow Paul Collingwood, Stevens Harmison, Liam Plunkett, Graham Onions and Ben Stoke who proved that you can't get called while playing for Durham.

Pretty poor that a convicted drug cheat's got his name on the board.

Two of those players don't even exist.

Collingwood got the shaft constantly compared to Ian 'soft runs' Bell. Colly had a similar record but started out against much tougher opposition and got runs when they most mattered - as opposed to Bell who went missing and cashed in against West Indies and Bangladesh. As well Colly adding more value with his fielding and occasional bowling.

Harmison got treated horribly by the media, having a similar record to Hoggard who was a very limited bowler and got the prime conditions to bowl in.

Onions didn't play nearly as many Tests as he should have done.

You missed out Simon Brown who was a one Test wonder.

Rushworth who hasn't played any despite insane performances for the last two seasons, home and away. Borthwick who played one Test and his recent record his ahead of Ballance, Vince and pretty much anyone actually.

Wood who randomly lost his place to Jordan and Woakes when they were completely erratic and toothless.

Durham's a great place to play cricket, not so good if you want to get fair treatment for the international side.

Misbah shouldn't take the new ball tomorrow morning. He should have some patience with his bowlers to claim the remaining 3 wickets cheaply, specially when Yasir is bowling so well. New ball may mean some unnecessary runs.

Pakistan has a bigger edge than most people think (in other words, it's still a good time to bet on a Pak-win). Remember England will have to face the brilliant Yasir Shah in the 4th innings. The only way Pakistan can lose this is by a huge batting collapse in the 3rd innings.

shaping up to be a great test, up pakistan...

it's good to see a leg spinner succeeding in world cricket in england, am hoping that yasir can bring that form to australia

Man I'm pumped for today's play. Match is so evenly poised. It is the usual time when Pakistan ruin it for everyone and play absolute pus. Hope they don't
