Yeah-- seems like it. Unless we go crazy tommorow and bowl them out.
Cook and Strauss were looking comfortable near the end of it today.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
The reason Shahid Nazir did not bowl today was becuase he got injured and was replaced by "no other than" Mohammad Sami in the field.
Cricinfo commentary: check the archive.
8.6 Mohammad Asif to Cook, 1 run, short ball but Cook fails to take full advantage, working it round to square
"Mohammad Sami is on for Shahid Nazir"
Yes, I am "khua'ar" enough to read through the commentary... LOL
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
I hope it's just a minor/temporary injury and won't carry on overnight though.
Last thing I'd want to see is Sami replacing Nazir. Right now, Nazir is my favorite bowler- not because he's the best, but because he is obviously determined to perform well, and you can tell he's working really hard at it.
Not to say that Umar Gul or Mohammad Asif aren't hard workers... but it's just refreshing to see someone who doesn't belong to the rotation to come in and work so hard... I guess it's because I've been used to the likes (as of late) of Rao Iftikhar or Arshad Khan.

As for being a bowler, we would rather want to see his wickets than runs.

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
You are right… 
Infact the moment Sami came in as the sub (end of Asif’s over), England started hitting boundaries at will where the next six balls went for 13 runs with 3 boundaries in Gul’s over. Banday kee presence ab itni bhee manh**s na ho 
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.

Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Clear bat pad catch not given off Kaneria in the first over of the day
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Kaneria cleans bowls Cook - but no ball. Cook out twice. He seems as though he has no clue against Kaneria. He is riding his luck big time.
Re: 4th Test - Eng vs Pak - Oval, 17th-21st Aug.
Cook bowled by Kaneria off a no ball. He is now in his third innings.
