England v Pakistan 3rd Test thread

[G_Man]

I expect 5 wickets from Monty tomorrow, the 5th day headingley pitch will suit him.

No pressure then.

Looking to Hoggy for the wickets myself...should get a bit of movement on his home pitch.

I don't think the weather will be in his favour tomorrow, there might be some movement in the morning but it won't swing after lunch.
Either way, the only way England can lose this is if Pakistan are something like 275 /8 and they have a thrash. If Pakistan start well, there will be a lot of bowling 2 feet outsdie off stump

[chewyuk]

tomorrow should be a belting day. 35 run victory

[Shaggy]

Just had a look at the betting...

England 6/4
Draw 5/4
Pakistan 11/4

England look pretty decent value, huh?

[G_Man]

Not bad odds for England

[chewyuk]

think I may have a dabble at those odds.

Hope you got that bet on - 80-5 now!

Faisal Iqbal c C M W Read b S I Mahmood
Kamran Akmal c C M W Read b S I Mahmood

Inzamam is allowed to bad now at 7 isn't he?

That's the wicket I was cheering!

Yeah I'm on us at 6/4 on its own and in an accumulator.

Inzy's in now, aye.

Haven't seen this test though there must have been some cracking batting displays - some amount of runs there.

[Shaggy]

It's been a great Test match so far.

MONTYYYYYYYYY!!

[IanTheRed]

MONTYYYYYYYYY!!

Just love the terminology on the BBC website - 'Chin Music'

1403: WICKET - Pakistan 112-6 (Younis b Panesar 41)
A crackerjack delivery from Panesar to dismiss Younis Khan. The ball pitched on middle stump, turned across the face of Younis' bat and flicked his off bail. Younis had no chance. England are into the tail-end and Sami is next man in. An optimistic lbw appeal by Panesar first up - but Sami sees off the rest of the over. A wicket-maiden.

1400: Inzamam piles into a short one from Harmison - arrogant, dismissive, glorious. Harmison is riled and serves Inzy up some chin music that gets the Pakistan skipper hopping around the crease.
