    Get along if you can - very small chance for us if we can skittle them inside half a dozen overs after tea.

    How many overs left in the day? Seems very unlikely we will win.

    lead now 241 after good batting over. With a change over, 41 left.

    But pointed out by Hussain that unlike one-day cricket there are no powerplays, no fielding restrictions, can bowl wide-ish, bouncers etc.

    Tall order as if they are out in next 5 overs, and it is already over a run a ball. Unlikely but would bring out KP first surely.

    They've declared! Massive for series now. Chase down we can stay no1 if don't lose third test. Collapse and they win series. Wish I was in Leeds!

    Win or draw think its been a good test for england.
    got into there heads, given 5 full days in third test i think england could do it.

    Strauss bringing himself in at 3 rather than any other of the batsman quickly showed he daren't go for it. Shame. Just playing for time now.
