PAKISTAN SECOND INNINGS (target 435) - play starts 1100 BST (TMS coverage begins at 1045)
|
1043: As usual, we'd like you guys and gals to get involved on the emails, texts and 606 (see details above) - anyone in the Nottingham area want to kick us off with a weather report for Odie (below)? Looks brighter than yesterday on the telly...
From Odie, TMS inbox: "Morning Mark, It's raining hard here in Auckland, what's the Nottingham weather like?"
1038: We still lost, though.
1037: Pakistan's not-out batsmen, by the way, are opener Imran Farhat, who's lost three batting partners on the way to his six not out - and nightwatchman Mohammad Aamer, who's yet to score. A pretty thankless task, nightwatchman (if you believe the likes of Tuffers and Gus Fraser, who used to alternate in the role for Middlesex, on TMS). Never had to do it myself, although I did perform the role of "tea watchman" while playing for my team, the Canford Cygnets, last month. We were six down after a top-order collapse and in danger of losing the match before tea - so as the most expendable of our three remaining batsmen, I semi-jokingly offered to go in if we lost a wicket before tea. And it worked... sort of. I was out first ball, but wasted enough time painstakingly taking guard (a la Jonathan Trott) and twice asking the ump how many balls were left in the over... so by the time my stumps were sent flying, the clock had ticked past half-past-four and we took tea.
1030: Morning everyone, welcome to August - and welcome to what we expect to be the final day of the first Test between England and Pakistan. The match situation is that Pakistan, needing a theoretical 435 for victory (which would be a Test record successful fourth-innings chase) are 15-3 with two full days remaining. Barring problems with the weather, England can realistically hope to wrap matters up some time today.
