We need to start nicking Pakistani legspinners like.
Also, where's Jack Russell and Collingwood when you need them?

Should've persevered with Adil Rashid maybe?
We still got an outside chance while these two are still there. Big hundreds from both please.

Hes a decent cricketer and done miles better in test cricket than I thought he would. Hes still an obvious one to improve on though. Finn is a much more dangerous option and after we get beat tomorrow he will be a cert for the next test.

Bopara out, Finn in, moving Prior to bat 6. imo

Worst thing that can happen here is Bopara getting a hundred tomorrow. They'll never drop the fucker then. If we're going to lose I'd rather be bowled out in 5 overs in the morning, kick the selectors and the team up the arse.

Not if we saved the game through it (unlikely I know).
This.
We've been behind the rate in this test ever since the 2nd morning collapse. 385 was underpar and then we bowled a crock of shite too.
We f***ing wish.

Don't say that, just got myself a ticket for tomorrow. Saw they were £15 rang work up and got the day off and looking forward to at least (hopefully) a couple of hours watching test cricket in the sun!

I think the bowling is irrelevant.
If we had got the par score for the wicket a draw would have been a guarantee.
Apart from the Ashes last year, I still think we are prone to a collapse, some of the dismisals in the first innings were dreadful. There is still only Trott and Cook for me who really make the batsmen get them out.

The end of play on day 5, a dramatic last wicket stand between Jimmy and Prior saves the day. With the last ball Steyn nails Anderson right in front of middle stump, the umpire remains unmoved, the South Africans go mental....they have no reviews left.
....we can but dream

With the last ball of the day Morkel bounces out Jimmy...but Wait Jimmy uses England's last review despite the fact he fenced it off the face of the bat to slip...the crowd starts to leave when suddenly a huge roar screams out as the big screen replay shows Morkel has over stepped..The call of no-ball is made, making the scores tied with no more overs left in the day.
But this is just fantasy and we're all expecting to lose a wicket in the opening overs at the start of play.
