"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?

Unsurprisingly rain has stopped play after just two balls. :-P

Unchanged squad announced for the third test starting on Thursday lets see if we can get a whitewash!

Definitely a deserved win. Great fielding from Collingwood and Pietersen again too. Looks like Monty will be going to Australia, as will Mahmood: he seems like a good replacement for Simon Jones.

Great win for England thought Pakistan would try and shut up shop but it didn't work if they did.

Panesar continued his good bowling form with another 3 wickets and Mahmood got 4.

Good to see we've got some talent in reserve incase Flintoff is out of thr Ashes.

84-5 at lunch great morning for England.

I'm betting Pakistan will defend now to try and get a draw but hopefully the pitch will deteoriate further and give our bowlers a great chance of getting the win!

What a game this going to be! :-D

Two wickets down, keep it going England!

It's very interesting going into the last day and after saying it's almost certainally going to be a draw this morning it could now go anyway.

England took less than 1 day to get 345 so Pakistan can do it as well, Pakistan may collapse and England bowl them out or it could go very defensive and end in a draw.

I'm hoping for a good attacking display from both sides to get a result.

That's it: 345 - all out. Good stuff from Read.

If England bowl with extreme discipline they'll still pose a strong threat. Also apparently Inzamam has an injury meaning he'll be batting at seven...

Well it could be a lot better, but getting to 350 should be on Read's and Monty's minds to give England a good chance of securing a draw atleast.

202-2 going along nicely Strauss is nearly at his century. Hopefully we can put on another 150 and declare and have a go at bowling Pakistan out tomorrow.
