With Jonny Bairstow in this mood... I hope you are right, it will be good to watch!

You're watching, I presume. I only follow it on the BBC website, and occasionally pop in to TMS and watch the C5 highlights. But it looks as though we'll need a first innings lead, as we won't want to be chasing too many in the fourth innings with Shah, Amir and co scenting their opportunity.

Spot on. With wickets falling the way they are, there is plenty of time for either side to get a result. Batting fourth will not be easy if we are chasing any sort of score.

I would agree with you, but that might be the kiss of death

 

[pasty]

Who is the Pakistan player who keeps "appealing" by seemingly shouting "AAARRRGGGHHH AAARRRGGHHH" over and over again. Getting right on my tits he is

You can use that when we're discussing politics too. It sounds a bit Francis Urqhuart, which is a good thing by me.

You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment

Five more minutes I reckon, then three wickets before stumps.

Need to talk Trescothick into coming back to open with Cook.

Why?

So that we can have 2 openers capable of scoring runs to set up the innings.
