Both the big guys have gone, how many overs left to take the last 5 wickets?

Anderson gets his first wicket of the match!
313-7
25 overs remaining but it'll either be the light or England winning that ends the match...

On a slightly different subject, it's fantastic to see a test starting in Karachi on Saturday and Pakistans 1st for over a year. Let's hope they can show the cricketing world what a show they can put on. Good to see them back.

Benn is out!
353-9
Just one more needed for England. Officially, there are 14 overs left but it's really a case of England v the light...

370-9
It finishes as a draw with a few overs to go as England run out of light...
The Windies still lead 1-0 with 2 to play...

Once again our boys let us down. Poor captaincy from Strauss, too. Yesterday's declaration came too late. Strauss was playing not to lose, rather than to win, and not for the first time...

Disappointing, but I agree, poor captaincy

One of the criticisms is the use of James Anderson as a night watchman when we were already over 300 runs ahead. We ended up wasting a considerable amount of time that could have been used more productively by Shah or Pieterson! We would have been able to declare much sooner and no doubt won the test.

If Strauss remains as captain for the Ashes, the series will probably finish 0-0!

Dont forget the rain delay as well chaps... Doesn't matter. England still should've had enough time to bowl them out and if Strauss had any sense, he would've taken into account the possibility of rain on the final day and made the declaration earlier.

England should be beating these lot hands down without having to worry about time england and australia are both looking poor to be honest.

Tim Ambrose will keep wicket for England in the 4th test as Matt Prior has flown home after his wife gave birth. He should return for the 5th test.

Look out for Pakistan vs Sri Lanka in the morning. Younis Khan is poised on 306 not out and within a couple of hours of Brian Lara's record if he stays cool.
