We would either have to make around 650+ runs or fall just short of them and bowl them out for next to little in their second dig and then for us to reach the target very quickly. So I reckon it's going to be a draw too.

Pakistan have to win to stay in the series, I know it wont happen but if I was smith I would declare 100 behind (if we get that close) and let them set a challenge.

They batted too slowly in the 1st dig, rain or no rain, Ali was batting early with a strike rate in the 20's when he was in the 60's it was low 30's. Warner is now in the 60"s and his strike rate is nearly 100. If my some sheer chance Warner faces the same amount of balls as Ali he would be in the 400's

Warner may have found his mojo again. If him, Kawaja, Smith or even Hanscomb make some decent runs. We're in for a chance.

Warner 77* off 78 need to turn this into a big 100

Usam 39* off 53 playing a great support role

No we definitely can't. Need Warner to get to 200 and get support from Kawaja and Smith. Is the ball turning much?

9 commentary is totally stuffed to what it use to be, Triple M is even worse that will not go on after this series. Looks like its back to the ABC

Just had the misfortune of listening to the MMM broadcast whilst out (they had it on the radio) worst coverage ever. Jukes and some chick talking about arranged marriages and where their parents met. WTF she didn't even call the Warner no ball just kept babbling about nothing

Pakistan don't need to win. They hold the trophy so 1-1 sees them retain it. Yasir in Sydney is probably their best chance of a win.
