    I am expecting KP to hole out any time. Bell, Woakes and Prior to fall cheaply. We start panicking but it ends up a draw.

    Hope not though obviously.

    As long as KP is at the crease I'm not concerned.

    With wickets in hand, chances can be taken in last few overs. If this was an ODI, you would say England were favourites.

    We need 6.39 per over to win and we have averaged under 3 all series. It is a big ask, need a really good over to get the RR down.

    Bell is a great player and in great nick but would probably have sent in one of the hitters, hopefully Bell at least will have a swing himself.
