    Might not be enough if Pakistan go for it

    The draw is 12/5 at the moment. Seen as the least probable result.

    It'd be quite a thing to score 650 in the first innings and lose.

    Just looked it up - Bangladesh scored 595 and lost against NZ in Wellington a few years ago, so it would be a considerable new record if England were to do it. Concern is taking the wickets, Pakistan don’t have to go wild immediately to get these runs.

    Babar goes to Stokes, a massive wicket.

    Looking good for England.

    I think it's great that Stokes and McCullum are willing to lose the game in order to win it. This new approach is all about taking risks in order to win Test matches. They are bowling a certain way in order to try and take wickets on what is a road of a wicket. Would be an incredible victory in these circumstances !

    Doubt they'll get all those in if required cos of the light near the end of play. Either way couldn't see them needing all those overs if they were to win. Its either bowl them out or they win, we can always go with a very defensive field if things start to look bleak !

    Offering 343 on this pitch in that timespan is a massive gamble against a quality batting lineup...

    Baz and Stokes are prepared to lose to give themselves a better chance of winning. It’s brilliant.

    Tense, but still favouring Pakistan, though one wicket could swing it…..

    How was that going over the stumps, very bizarre?

    Bad miss by Pope down the leg side. England badly in need of a quick wicket or two after tea.

    Two quick wickets would make it very interesting. Its been a cracking test match surely there is one more twist!

    Robinson gets one after review, then hits the stumps next ball without the bails coming off!
