Pakistan vs. England 2015

At lunch today Pakistan were 311-4. Looks like they want a 500 lead before they declare

Pakistan have declared on 354/6.
England have been set 491 to win .
That first innings collapse has really cost them big time.

a tall order for England to bat for 1 and a half days to even to just save the game!! I reckon it would a fantastic run chase by England if they did it!!

Based on their first innings scoring rate England would not get the runs needed to win this match even if they batted through the day and a half remaining.

At tea it's 45/2 with Bell and Root at the crease. Bell needs a big score badly.

Close of play England 130-3

have to say that the best odds that I saw on a England win was 25/1

It looks like it going to be a tough day for England.

Chasing a total of 491, England are 173-5. Stokes & Buttler at the crease

England at tea are 285/8 with Rashid and Wood at the crease. These two have already batted for 10 overs but need to stay there for another 31 in the final session if England are to escape.

It's a poor do when the bowlers have to show the batsmen how it's done.

The Pakistan's are doing my head in with their continuous appealling, especially the Asia commentator.

18 overs left. Will there be bad light for the last few overs, like in the last match
