Pak V England - First test Match

Re: Pak V England - First test Match

This match is heading for a draw, but if anyone can win it it's England. They will probably bat for at least another 30 min atleast tomorrow, and add another 30 odd runs to the target. I don't see Pakistan even trying to chase down a target with a required run rate of 4 on a last day pitch.

On the other hand, if England can inflict damage with the new ball, then they will be in with a chance. Everyday isn't Sunday, and Inzi/Moyo can't be expected to bail the team out every time. Woolmer pretty much said the same thing, for a Pakistan win, England needed to have been bowled out by the end of the day yesterday.

Like Saby said, Pakistan could have been in a dominant position today if it hadn't been for such atrocious fielding (which continued into the 2nd innings). Another key moment was dismissal of Akmal at the end of day 3. Akmal and Moyo could have seen off the early morning spell of Harmison and Hoggard and with Afridi still to come, we could have got much closer to England's first innings total.
