Honours just about even so far. England are 194-4 which is a pretty decent score, but they aren't safe yet and a late fightback which saw Saqy take all 4 wickets means the first session will be crucial tomorrow.
The wicket is very slow, and I thought our spinners should have pushed the ball through quicker to compensate. Noticeably, saqi's wickets came when he started to do that.
In England's favour, they won the toss which means we'll have to bat on the last day; a big advantage for them. I think Pakistan must look to dismiss England for 350 or less and bat well in the first innings. Shame Qaiser Abbas missed that catch off Thorpe. He's a hard batsman to get out.
