I don't really blame him here. It's the only way we're getting close to the target.

Can't believe we're only about 2/1 to win this, I'd want at LEAST 5s

Bet365 are offering 250/1 on the DRAW.

I'm unsure if 'draw' includes the TIE?

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.

Well who'd have thought it?!

FFS. Agree England had to attack to have any chance, but attempting to sweep your first ball is just madness. At least take a couple of overs to get your eye in.

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.

Duckettcaught Muhammad Rizwan, bowled Sajid Khan c Muhammad Rizwan b Sajid Khan 0 Oh well, perhaps Pope will actually get a big score for a change.

Definitely a pitch to favour the home side.

Indeed, all teams do it both domestically and internationally.

I know this isn't in our mindset anymore, but surely it would be sensible to just block out half anhour and have a go properly tomorrow, no?

Nah. We could just as easily lose a wicket prodding and patting on this wicket.

They did indeed. A good toss to lose for New Zealand! NZ would also have batted first had they won the toss.

What, batting second on a 9 day pitch? Who'd have thunk it.
