Just me that thinks we can do it? Mind need Prior to get a 100 here.

Top three need to come and issue a apology cause they have been crap bar cooks first innings in first test
 
I thought earlier in the day if we needed around 120 in the last session we were in with a shout, but I think we're a wicket or two too many down. If Swann and Prior can somehow stick around for an hour we'll be up with the rate, but there's no one to really come in after. And I always feel like Swann could get out at any time doing something stupid and unnecessary.
 
For all the criticism they’ve received on here, for all that KP hasn’t been playing, fact is if England don’t win this they will likely only have been one decent opening stand or one dropped catch away from drawing the series, playing well under par, against a team which has no real weaknesses and who have been playing well up to their own high standards. I know it’s the smb but England aren’t shit all of a sudden.

Lots of positives, the 2 main ones being the excellent bowling of Finn and the enterprising batting of Bairstow, who seems to have inspired the rest.
 
This is some cracking counter attacking from these two, but I just can't see it. One mistake, one wicket and out comes Anderson.
