Cook bats on and I predict the match will end in a draw with Pakistan about 6 down.

I hope I am wrong.

Anyone know what kind of surface we might get at the Oval ?

Recent years, it seems to resemble a sub-continent pitch which may favour the tourists ?

Batted on 2 overs too long

Hope we don't regret it come 6 o'clock

The test of a good allrounder is for their batting average to be higher than their bowling average. Stokes easily fails.

The last great allrounder was Kallis

The fact is that we have a dearth of world class players
Kallis batted in the top 4, Stokes bats at 7 one didn't want to bowl one loves bowling there's a difference

We have got to hope that all the Pakistanis bat like Hafeez.

He's not had the best of Tests with no runs, no wickets and dropped catches

Looks like the way we will get wickets will be mistakes by the batsmen

Pitch offeriing nothing to the bowlers

Personally I would have batted on another half hour and bulked up that lead on a wicket as flat as this.

I think Cook needs to stick to his guns when it comes to declarations. I hope he isn't allowing a few criticisms of conservatism sway him from his normal line of thinking.

A disappointing morning and the game is heading towards a draw. We need a wicket every seven overs this afternoon.
