And the small matter of an innings ![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Well done, a professional job, I hope the ODIs are closer.
(edit) An innings?! What have I been smoking? Well, it felt like it.

I can't see Pakistan gaining a lead of 150+ at this rate! All out for ~140 is my prediction.
Really terrific bowling from England, it's a shame Pakistan couldn't get these results from the pitch. Although in fairness to their bowlers it's really the top order batsmen who let everyone down.

5 wickets for Monty, well done that man, he is a great bowler and his enthusiasm is contagious.
I reckon a lead of 140 sounds about right, 137 is my guess.

6 for Monty, imagine how many he would have got if he was any good ![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
145 SHOULDN'T be hard to get but who knows on this wicket.

All out for 144, I was close! Pakistanis will need to spin harder than Alastair Campbell to win this but I can't see it happening.

Appalling decision on Strauss, he was out by a country mile! Pakistan picks up Bell as a consolation prize.
2 for 28.

F**k, I love test cricket!
Good to see that knobjockey Pietersen failing yet again
C'mon Pakistan - your nation expects

I think I see where England went wrong.
When the ECB selectors said 'We think Pietersen should be 4th' Andy Flower assumed it was a reference to the batting order, but what they really meant was '4th in the queue at Heathrow for a direct flight back to South Africa.'
