			 Looks like the game is going to be up pretty soon for England in this 3rd test with 120-2 andf a 78 runn lead for Pakistan with oodles of time left in this match. 
Englands batsmen have lergely not been up to the job in this series  in an hour or so i am off to work but will catch uop with the England horror show from there.   
Cannot fault our bowlers though they have put England in winning position several times for the batsmen to squander it.   |

England do not play traditonally vey well in certain parts of the world but the middle east  was one of the parts Englands batsmen look like rabbits with their eyes caught in a headlamp.    |

After the tests England have 4 ODI and  and 3 20/20 matches on the same couple of grounds v Pakistan .   
Then England move on to Sri Lanka for 2 test matches on this showing Englands batsmen will seriously have to up their game for them.
 
Yes lets look forward to the summer.   |

			 Game over if Saaf is reading this the white flag is being tied to the pole already as England surrender to a 3-0 defat in all probability,barring some miracle batting in the 2nd innings.   
Fancy padding up to give England a hand denphone we could fly out tonight mate.    |
