Cheg Jul 2016 7:25pm, 18 Jul 2016 1,204 posts	0 Cheg Root has had a few poor innings. Look at his series averages prior to Sri Lanka. His name would be the last batsman pulled in the, it's his fault game. Cook and Root are genuinely World Class.
Doctor K Jul 2016 8:58pm, 18 Jul 2016 3,825 posts	0 Doctor K Moeen was poor first innings but had a better analysis in the second and did pick up Younus and Misbah so he may survive -they may have two spinners for OT. Jimmy in for Ball no doubt and Stokes in for Ballance. Rashid for Finn maybe. We've been relying on Root and Cook for too long -time for others to step up. Win the toss and bat first at OT.

Wriggling Snake Jul 2016 8:34am, 22 Jul 2016 12,506 posts	0 Wriggling Snake Pak bat first 185-3 at the close of play, 350 at Tea tomorrow,Eng skittled for 155, rain intervenes, hold on for a terrible draw, Anderson injured, Rashid 5 wickets, Stokes gets 0,0 and no wickets and is plainly not fit, out of form and psychologically damaged. However, Root unveils cure for cancer in Saturday's lunch interval.

Wriggling Snake Jul 2016 8:57am, 22 Jul 2016 12,507 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I can see Rashid getting wickets, Moeen 1 or 2 too, but all out on the boundary and both going for 6 or so an over...
