In theory with more than two days to score 323 we should walk it. In reality, our batsmen must be bricking it!

Judging by the 1st innings, Strauss and KP are in some sort of form so let's hope that they each grind out a score.

323 has only been chased down 14 times in Test history.

We need to be no more than 2 down at around 120 to stand a chance.

We've made 4 without losing a wicket so that's a bonus.

We could be 200 for 0 and I wouldn't be confident at the moment!

I think teams should penalised 5 runs for obviously ridiculous appeals. It's really annoying when teams constantly appeal when it's clearly not out.

First 4 need to stand up and be counted. When spinners come on use the bat and not leave it or pad up.

and one more thing "champions" usually prevail in these circumstances. Bowlers have done well to bring some sort of respectability now it's....

Strauss has got to pick the length better, going back is suicide.

I think their wicketkeeper's voice will be less annoying once his balls have dropped.
