180 ahead with 4 wickets left.

Try and and knock these last few off and chase down 200. Will be a good game
 
Lead 193...
But the ball is now turning AGAIN..
The Pakistan spinners are better so will be tough, wouldn't want to chase 200 on that track..
Quick wickets is key!
 
232 now...
The last two batsman are the key... for both sides!
Get these out, then the tail is long and crap..
They stay in, then the total will be the wrong side of 250!
 
Commentary on 5 live sports extra for anyone interested.....................Sarfraz has just gone.....312-7

The lead is 240
 
We're a batsman and bowler down with Stokes out as well so will be some victory if we can do it.

Every run form now on makes it twice as hard though, scoring runs on this pitch won't be easy.
 
It's fair to say we've got no chance!!

Would be good to see Ian Bell stand up and make a worthwhile meaningful second innings score.

For once.

Agnew remembers Tom Graveney
After retiring, he became a BBC commentator and served as the 200th president of the MCC in 2005.

He was the first former professional cricketer to be appointed to the post.

Graveney captained England once at the age of 41, deputising for Colin Cowdrey against Australia at Headingley in 1968.
