PAKISTAN SECOND INNINGS (victory target 148)

1147 - Pkn 48-1 (8 overs)
Butt turns Swann off his legs for a well-placed two. And someone following Aggers on Twitter has produced a randomly-generating Boycott Bingo card. It's the new Cluedo...

1145 - Pkn 46-1 (7 overs)
Butt continues to tuck into Anderson, who's bowling too many four-balls and looks on as the Pakistan captain cover-drives him for four. A single takes Butt to 14, Farhat has 26 and Pakistan look in no danger at the moment.

From Anonymous, via text: "Only four players in double figures of runs? Sounds like Pakistan's class of 2010 on a good day. How we could have done with a few hours of the Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar spirit of Cardiff this morning. Still, Pakistan aren't Australia: bowling them out for 100 isn't impossible."

1140 - Pkn 41-1 (6 overs)
Swann on from the Vauxhall End, with a slip and a short leg in. Single from Butt, then Farhat goes for the big one, dancing down the pitch and belting Swann over mid-on for four! But Swann gets his revenge as he gets one to turn sharply and put Farhat in all sorts of trouble, although it pitched outside leg stump and was looking likely to sail over off stump when it hit the left-hander above the knee-roll. Interesting.

From Andrew in Camberwell, TMS inbox: "Any sign of an ECB apology for starting the Oval Test on a Wednesday with the result that we will have roughly two hours' cricket over the weekend? What a farce when there is real concern about filling grounds."

1137 - Pkn 36-1 (5 overs)
Swann is warming up, but it's still Anderson from the Pavilion End, although he bowls a wild and woolly one down the leg side for four leg byes. Plenty of easy singles are pludered by Farhat and Butt, who must think it's their birthday the way England are bowling at the moment, as Anderson sends down a no-ball to gift them even more runs. (Which reminds me, happy birthday to Joe Priestley, a recent recruit to the team I play for, Canford Cygnets. And happy birthday to any of the rest of you out there celebrating today). England need to put the brakes on, and fast.

1132 - Pkn 28-1 (4 overs)
Butt is racing away here, square-driving a single, while Farhat confidently rotates the strike. The third slip is removed, Butt ducks a bouncer but a fumble by Matt Prior behind the timbers gifts them four byes. Butt carves Broad through mid-off where only Anderson's excellent fielding restricts them to a single - Broad is leaking runs all over the place here, and Tuffers on TMS wants Swann on. Now!

1127 - Pkn 21-1 (3 overs)
Anderson, still bowling round the wicket to the two left-handers - Butt clips him off his legs, but a great sliding stop by the lanky Finn at long leg restricts Pakistan to two. (Which is then reduced to one, as they ran one short). The singles are flowing freely, while when Anderson strays onto leg stump, Butt crashes a four towards the cow corner boundary, where a brave dive from Broad can only push the ball out of Cook's reach and onto the rope. Meanwhile, the TMS team are pulling CMJ's leg somewhat rotten as he had an abscess on his toe lanced this morning after summoning the Oval medical staff. Ouch.

1122 - Pkn 13-1 (2 overs)
Stuart Broad's first ball is short and wide, and Farhat lifts it over gully for four. ("You could have a fly slip in for this bloke, as he keeps upper-cutting it," points out Vic Marks on TMS). Farhat, reunited with his old opening partner Butt, pushes a well-run two past the bowler before nudging a single through square leg. Butt, who's not in great form, is off the mark with a dab to cover.

BBC Sport's Ben Dirs at The Oval on Twitter: "It is insufferably muggy out there, you'd have to think Jimmy will be turning it round corners in this..."

1117 - Pkn 5-1 (1 over)
Cap'n Salman Butt is in first wicket down, he's hit on the pad and England go up for an lbw appeal... but don't ask for a review when Umpire Steve Davis shakes his head. Jimmy has a chat with the ump afterwards, though. (Hawk-Eye thinks it would have sailed over the stumps).

1114 - WICKET - Hameed c Swann b Anderson 0 - Pkn 5-1 (0.5 overs)
Jimmy Anderson takes the first over - and in what appears to be a deliberate, planned tactic, he's bowling round the wicket from the Pavilion End (rather than his usual Vauxhall End). The left-handed Imran Farhat cuts his second ball past gully for four, before nudging a single to fine leg. But then right-hander Yasir Hameed edges his first ball and Graeme Swann catches it at the second attempt at second slip! GAME ON!

From Paul Blackwell, via text: "Re: Boycott Bingo - as well as Trueman, add Close and Illingworth. Any Barnsleyite to count as one (Bird, Parkinson, McCarthy)."

Former Somerset and England spinner Vic Marks on TMS: "It's difficult for the fielding side when you're defending a low total as you've got to remain on the attack while defending every run you can. Graeme Swann won't be able to have four or five men round the bat if Pakistan are scoring at four an over."

1106: A stat kindly provided to me by Paul Grunill reveals that England's last seven wickets fell for 28 runs in 15 overs. Now that's what I call a batting collapse, and I've been involved in a few...

BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew on TMS: "The podcast has taken on a new meaning - Geoffrey hasn't rumbled what Boycott Bingo is yet."

1103: Mohammad Amir leads Pakistan off after finishing with figures of 5-52, his best Test haul. And please manually refresh your page, if you would, and Pakistan's victory target will appear above.

ENGLAND SECOND INNINGS - 222 all out

1102 - WICKET - Broad c Asif b Amir 6 - Eng 222 all out (77 overs)
Finn shoulders arms to the first ball of the day, then angles a single to fine leg, to huge cheers from the Oval crowd. Broad pulls the last ball of the over to mid-on... and is caught. Pakistan will need 148 to win.

From randyreddevil on 606: "Finn looks like a walking wicket. In contrast Pakistan's tailenders have improved dramatically, with the likes of Amir, Ajmal, Gul and Riaz all able to stick around. Asif can't bat though."

1058: After a belting rendition of "Jerusalem" over the PA, the teams emerge from the dressing-rooms - and we've got four balls of an over to complete from last night, with left-arm quick Mohammad Amir bowling to Steven Finn, after Stuart Broad took a single just before they went off for bad light. Let's get ready to rumble!

From Martin Pullon, Block 12 OCS Stand, TMS inbox: "In the same way that Playfair Cricket Annual etc used to use the abbreviation LBG to describe a leg break and googly bowler, is it not time to introduce an OBD abbreviation to differentiate the likes of Saeed Ajmal from fellow off-spinners who do not possess a doosra?"

1054: We're on course to start on time. Ali Cook thinks Pakistan could be under pressure if they lose a couple of wickets. But before that, we can see if Stuart Broad and Steven Finn have been studying videos of Graham Dilley from 1981 for some good old tail-end slogging in a seemingly hopeless cause...

From Bob, lost in the Corridor of Uncertainty, TMS inbox: "Is Sir Geoff aware of Boycott Bingo? Listening to the Podcast, Aggers was hanging the bait for each Geoffreyism and Boycs pounced on each of them like KP going after a half volley..."

1041: As ever, while we're waiting for TMS to crank into gear at 1045, there are some bits and pieces from yesterday for you to have a look at on the BBC Sport website. There's video interviews with England centurion Alastair Cook and Pakistan captain Salman Butt, while you can read Jonathan Agnew's verdict on day three and Ben Dirs' blog on Cook. As if that wasn't enough, you can listen to the TMS podcast featuring Aggers and Boycs, and you really ought to have your Boycott Bingo card to hand for that.

BBC Sport's Ben Dirs at The Oval on Twitter: "If Finn can stick around for half an hour, then maybe. If not, then you have to think England are toast. Few spots of rain at Oval."

From kenincatford on 606: "Let's hope the fans get some value for their extortionate £46 tickets today - they won't get a full day, that's for sure. That's what I paid yesterday, only for 16 overs (one-sixth of the play) to be lopped off because of 'bad light' - the same light the teams had been playing in all day. And with the floodlights on - what an absolute joke."

1030: Morning, everyone, and welcome to day four - which we expect (barring weather intervention) may well be the last day of the third Test at The Oval. The match situation doesn't look great for England as they're 221-9 in their second innings, only 146 runs ahead of Pakistan, with last pair Stuart Broad and Steven Finn at the crease. For my daily "weather report from a train carriage passing The Oval earlier", I can report plenty of cloud cover but with the odd pinprick of blue sky. The Beeb weather forecast predicts white cloud but not rain, while the weatherman on last night's Ten O'Clock News thought the rain would just miss London.
