The commentators are making me chuckle. The 4th wicket went down and it's all "Leech and Bashir spinning England into contention". Pakistan score EIGHT runs and they're all "England putting fielders back - obviously now very concerned with the Pakistan lead here"

Can't believe that 6th wicket required a review, plumb all day long. Really disappointing to see huge swathes of empty seats unless I'm missing a reason ?.

Is Ian Botham’s mother in law there ?

260 is already looking very daunting on this wicket.

They have too many runs now.

I think 250 was just about gettable as you can't rule out a big score from Duckett and/or Root at the moment, but this is now too many.

Can't believe we're only about 2/1 to win this, I'd want at LEAST 5s
I agree - 297 is 50-100 runs too many.

Our batsmen will come out playing their shots by nature, and that actually suits the game situation on this pitch. Their only chance is to play their shots and ride their luck before the ball comes along with the batman's name on it. Hopefully one or two of them can make a big score doing this, but I suspect that even if one does so, it won't be enough.
