Pakistan all out. Lead of 98.

England have about 50 mins to get 99 to win....

I'd open with Root & Moeen, with Stokes & Bell to follow. Could be an incredible win.

So I finished lunch, checked the scoreboard, decided that it could only end in a draw and wandered off to spend an hour cutting the grass.

England now have the second innings of a game of T20.

Curiouser and curiouser

I hope the umpires take into account this shameless time-wasting.

Umpires will take some st if they call the light now. Cricket needs results like this after 4 days of bilge.

To be fair it does look dark now. I used to live in the middle east and once the sun goes down it gets dark pretty fking quick!

We would have done exactly the same thing.

Given the use of floodlights, the Umpires ought to switch to a white ball when "bad light" conditions threaten to end a day's play before the allotted overs.

To be fair, none of the spinners did much in the first four days. It was just a crap pitch with no bounce and hardly a surprise that the leggy was expensive. Warne would have struggled on that surface.

I can't believe that ended up so close. I didn't bother after Cook was out. hehe
