Finally a win! What a great series even though we lost 1-2 but it was too a hugely talented Indian batting side. Those last two overs had me on the edge of my seat, that's for sure. Well done England today.

What happened today? I think there was a highlights show on tms this morning, every ball was hitting the boundary.
England can't do that to sa surely

Did they dig the pitch up overnight?
Great final day, blaming bells drops more than the umpires for the lack of a result. The time wasting left a bad taste though

Still can't understand why Taylor isn't playing instead of butler

It's an awful test wicket
The run rate should be higher tomorrow with the more positive batsman to come.

Plenty of no balls I see

To call it 'slow' is putting it mildly. It would take England another 133 overs to reach Pakistan's score if they keep going at the current rate. That would take us until the end of tomorrow.

Still, another ton for AC and so far Bell is still in. The wicket is like concrete apparently.

Well, pretty bad as it turned out!

Sad to hear of the passing of Brian Close, probably the bravest cricketer ever to put on pads. Have a look at how this 45 year old man stood proud against Michael Holding (Whispering Death). RIP Brian Close.

I was at that game England v West Indies The Oval 1991
All the crowd that had radios were in stitches and the rest didn't have a clue what was happening.

This is a Classic!

I cannot watch cricket on Sky as the commentators annoy me so much, so I turn the sound off and listen to Test Match Special on the radio. Plenty of real hilarity going on and worth it if only for Boycs being his usual bumptious and outspoken self! And Henry Blofeld is a one-off.

Only trouble is they have added Swan to the team. What a disgrace to English cricket that man is. Couldn't hack it in Aus during the last tour (when we were whitewashed) so said "bugger it , I'm off". What a hero...NOT!

Think the one dayers are nicely matched.
