Khan out for 313! But more impressively, Pakistan declared on 765 for 6!  Match looks to be heading towards a draw though |

Shame about Khan. Would have liked him to have broken it, but what a return to Test cricket for Pakistan!!

They could have broken Sri Lanka's all time innings total had they gone on for the rest of the day. Hats off to Younis Khan for putting some respectability into the match and almost scaring Sri Lanka for a while. |

301-3 at the close.
142 for Strauss, 94 for Cook.
Shah only made 7. Pietersen still there on 32, Collingwood on 11.
3 changes to the side for England:
Ambrose is in for Prior, whose wife has given birth. Bopara replaces the injured Flintoff and Sidebottom comes in for Harmison.

Feel sorry for Harmy. I really think he's got a few psychological problems. Think it coudl be curtains for him now. He's a good lower order banger too when his eye is in.

Is this going to peter out into a draw though, can our bowlers make any more inroads than the Windies have so far?

I think Sidebottom is also on his last legs, he's no spring chicken and isn't quite as sharp as he was a couple of years ago!

Good mornings play by England. We may have lost Pieterson, but Collingwood and Bopra appear to be in good form! 402-4 at lunch

Whether we've got the bowlers to bowl them out twice remains to be seen though. Strauss himself seemed to imply yesterday that it was a batting wicket and i get the feeling he's put the emphasis more on the batting than the bowling side. |

I think we'll win this game now. We do need to score around 570-580 before declaring I feel but Windies have to bat 20 or so overs tonight.

England declare on 600-6.
Bopara made 104, Collingwood 96.
Ambrose was unbeaten on 76 when the declaration came.
That left the Windies with 25 overs to face today.

Gayle's wicket is a big one, England will need to get Sarwan and Smith out before they can get settled in the morning.

Did you watch any of it or read about it. Collingwood had a wild swipe when he was on 96. Nothing cruel about it. It was his own fault. |
