Once again Woakes saves our bacon with two late wickets.

Aggers chuntering about picking players in form and questioning why we haven't picked Borthwick.

Brilliant performance by fellow Brummie Woakes so pleased for him he has to keep his place in the team.

Boycs is right we should be able to chase these.

Clean them up for under 300 lead and then bat sensibly. There are no demons in this wicket, 300 is easily gettable.

I've had a decent bet on England a 4/5. I can't see Pakistan adding more than 10-20 runs tomorrow and so from that target we should have a very good chance.

It's going to be thriller. Can't wait.

Also funny that all the experts were saying this pitch was set to deliver another dull draw. It's now almost certain to be the most thrilling test match of the entire summer.

Woakes to score the winning runs for the perfect MOTM performance!

there is enough spin in the wicket for yasir to trouble us again, especially when we suck at playing spin as we saw in the first innings

If England are going to win you feel a minimum of 100-150 of the runs will have to come from Cook and Root. I wouldn't fancy the rest of them to get 200-250+.

It'll definitely be a challenge but I think we'll get home with 3-4 wickets to spare. Pakistan are also prone to shelling chances when defending a total so we should get some extra lives.

Agree with Thomas, Cook and Root are key wickets. At least one of them needs to bat most of the day. I think Root will be the man. Cook will struggle against the spin.

I'm really looking forward tomorrow. It will be a famous victory if we pull this off. And I'd love to see the lads wipe the smirk off England hater Mickey Arthur by getting the runs.

I sense that Bairstow and Ali will see us to a win.

Great effort from Chris again today, he has secured his place in the side now.

As for Root I am beginning to get worried about his lack of tons, he keeps making decent scores and then getting himself out as he nears the century mark - it's becoming a problem for a man who averages in the 50's.

I really hope he addresses this soon as I am sure he is aware of it.

Pakistan are favourites but if we get them out quickly and bat well tomorrow we have a pretty good chance.

Bookies cannot separate them. Both England and Pakistan are 10/11 to win

Cook already played a very good cut shot.

Well that wasn't the start we were looking for.

Cook out and now we need Root and Hales to make a decent stand.
