Good reply from England so far. Leach (economy) and Bashir (wickets) doing very well

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Still fancy England, they have the players to be aggressive against the spin and try to hit their way to victory, hopefully only chasing no more than 200. Intriguing cricket.

NZ ripping through India away from home

ORourke will be a fine test bowler for many years to come. Absolutely love seeing India humbled at home, helmet fanbase and board.

….yep, certainly chasing upwards of 250 will be very difficult.

Difficult but 250 doable with Duckett, Root and Brook if they get going. I only think there's a good chance for England to win this based on the opposition who are absolute chokers under pressure.

46 - 9 ! 5 players out for ducks !

Those dropped catches are going to be costly

 

[JimmyJeffers]

This pitch is perfect for Leach.

….England need 297 to win. I just looked for a price for the tie.

Cost 60 odd runs. Makes the chase extremely difficult

You could see they were uncomfortable against Carse but he was looking in discomfort so wasn’t going to bowl much more. Once they saw him off they looked unthreatened.

Think 297 might be too many, shame that, the dropped catches have made the difference from my prediction but this England team does surprise.

This will be over by lunch.

Shocking pitch and that the toss decides the game

 

[Walken]

Pakistan gambled on a win the the toss win the game pitch and it paid off. England perhaps could have been more game aware in the first innings when the pitch turned and they were still in a decent position and just gone for quick runs. Ultimately, I don't know it would have made a difference in a very oddly organised test by the PCB

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Well I got that one wrong.
