Surely a Pakistan win here.
I'm getting a lot of predictions wrong lately, hopefully this is another one.

We're surely not favourites now. I struggle to see how an extra 50 runs off 5 overs wasn't worth, would mean we couldn't have lost, but would have only marginally reduced our chances of winning. Maybe a loss might help in the long run, Stokes might be getting carried away.This would be the highest first innings score to result in a loss in the history of first class cricket. Essex scored 642 against Glamorgan in 2004 and lost by 4 wickets.
Its a risky strategy and ethos this England team have taken. If this was against Australia Id be very miffed but as it is only Pakistan hope they as you say learn.We're surely not favourites now.

I guess these days getting beat doesn't matter. Draws are nothing. I guess us oldies have to get used to this new brand of cricket with lots more 3 day results.Fair play to Stokes for having the balls to try win the game
I agree. The “approach” is still a work in progress.Its a risky strategy and ethos this England team have taken. If this was against Australia Id be very miffed but as it is only Pakistan hope they as you say learn.
