Edit:I am of course assuming Pakistan don't pull off a miracle, don't usually like to speak to soon but the fat lady can't be far.

Our batting line up looks like being stronger in the next test if Vince is injured.

Yeah, not quite Lord's 2000 or Headingly 1981 but just before close on the second day I thought England were totally done. Although, I think they won from a similar position against the PBINers last year.

Congrats England, Excellent comeback. Pakistan were dominating for first 2-2.5 days but England were too good after that and completely deserved the victory.

Very good and proper 5 day test match. These are becoming so rare now...
