Long slog to save the test for England.

It's back to looking very flat today and our spinner won't just randomly pick 5 wickets up.

Can't see us getting anything from this now. Pakistan are creeping too far ahead with plenty of wickets left and I just can't see the England top/middle order having enough about them to chase down a big score in the 4th innings, particularly considering how some of them played spin

This partnership are really taking the game away from us.

Certainly don't want to be chasing more than 300....

Pakistan's to lose now.

We need rain (non of it coming) or a miracle chase as a draw is off the cards.

we really have to be nastier, letting teams off the hook when we have them rattled.

Credit to Chris Woakes though for his 10 wickets!

you really are a parody at this point

Eh? Perfectly valid comment. We are almost in record territory to chase it down as it is. We couldn't play a leg spinner in the 1st innings where about 3 balls spun, never mind a pitch with a bit more in it.

Stranger things have happened, remember Thorpe batting in the dark to save a test match....

There's some turn and uneven bounce, but the pitch isn't a minefield. With 2 days play left and chasing less than 300, always an option to defend against the leggy and slowly grind it out.

Broad cleans up the tail and becomes the youngest Seamer to ever take 350 wickets. Continues to make a mockery of the stick he's had for years

I don't feel confident at all with this I see us losing by 50 or 60 runs and thinking of having a £50 on Pakistan at 11/10

Root just not comfortable at 3 or what?? That's the 2nd time he's thrown away his wicket - not like him

Yes it really is like him I think he does it all the time especially after he's got to his 50 but that's just the way he plays really isn't it quick scoring takes chances so inevitably it's gonna happen.

Vince has got this really horrible tendency to get lazy and casual with his technique and I just don't understand it. You're playing at Test level, for all his talent he just hasn't got the mental attributes. Horrible time to lose a wicket as runs are coming at a good rate without having to force it and Ballance is looking surprisingly confident

Ballance is so much better than he gets credit for his record speaks for itself regardless of this match
