Morgan is dismissed for 10

England 90/5

Only 9 runs behind

Prior has looked good against the spinners, key for us to get him asap

Make that 6 down, Prior gets bowled

Only 1 run behind though, with 5 overs left

16 wickets have fell today, crazy

Poor batting? Brilliant bowling? A bit of both?

England lead by 1 run, 100/6

4 overs left and they have sent in a nightwatchman, Jimmy Anderson, can he survive?

You have a 5 run lead at the moment, what more do you want?  :D

We lose our opener with 16 on the board

We trail by 25 with 9 wickets remaining

With Pakistan at only 26 runs ahead, I can already sense the test is lost :lol:

:lol: crazy trio of tests
They keep saying their strategy will take several years to implement, I accept this and realise that in the future we may be able to hold onto players much easier if we manage to achieve success without burning cash to get there. There's next to no point in overspending until you're in the s*** to get to Europe, only to fall out of it for several years and potentially enter relegation battles. Be frugal, spend the money wisely but at all times keep a core of good players in the side and try the utmost to create a core which is reasonably stable for three-four years.

I fully expect to get slayed and slated here for being a w***** apologist and maybe I'm wrong, maybe all they care about is lining their pockets and f***ing us over but you can argue it both ways. The haters have a more aggressive way of talking about it but we'll not know who's right until MA's ownership comes to an end.

If Pakistan get a 150 lead they've won. Pretty sad really.

Bit embarrassing for the number one test side.

If we lose this match and South Africa beat New Zealand in March then they'll be number one.

England are missing Collingwood badly.  Morgan is not a Test player.

A bit of a collapse to end our innings, still a more than competitive total

Target is 324

It was a competitive total this time yesterday!

England 13-0

We have already dropped Cook, it was an easy catch for 3rd slip  :rant: :rant:

Pitch is doing nothing much now, so 320 on a 4th day isn't out of the question but I expect us to f*** it up.

Hmm, chances of the run chase coming off are slightly better now.
