"England vs Pakistan (ODIs)"

Bit late creating this, but what do you reckon about what the result will be? Seems most likely a draw, but I still think it's more than possible for England to get a victory and it doesn't look too likely that Pakistan can win.

Really depends if Harmy can dig into the batting straight away I guess. Also I'm thinking Monty will see a lot of action today: the wicket seems to be favouring spinners a bit more now.

Any thoughts then?

Well England could win this by default if Pakistan don't make an appearance, I don't think many people would want a victory like this.

Pakistan aren't too happy it appears, they're not coming back on after tea...

England aren't going badly, shame Cook got out but he was getting quite a lot of luck. Looks like one of Pakistan's bowlers has tampered with the ball too, with 5 penalty runs given and a new old ball issued by the umpire. Not very sportingly if the ball had been tampered with. :-(

Also what do you reckon about Tresocthick? He's had a lot of bad luck recently do you think maybe he should be moved down the order until he's back on form?

504 all out for Pakistan :( can see it being an innings defeat.

Much needed breakthrough removing both Inzamam and Yousuf, the attack could be back on now.

I think England should just hope for lots of rain because they are just in all sorts of trouble at the moment.

Pakistan 257-2 before bad light and rain stopped play. England desperately need a few wickets to halt the runs and hopefully put in a good batting performance.

Then again they could just pray for the rain to carry on!

Don't know what the pitch is like really, went into town at dinner to catch half hour and they'd had an early lunch :(

Hopefully it's more of a batting pitch and Pakistan will struggle as well.

Looks like Pakistan could win this one if the test continues like this. 104-5

27-0 with play expected to resume any time now. Think I'll go and have a bet on a draw looking at the forecast for the next few days!

Then again I said that about the last test and look what happened........
