I've just realised that when I don't create a match thread then Pakistan don't win so I am getting in first before Dernbach which should avoid any further defeats?
Back in Dubai tomorrow for the final two. England have proved they have a world class bowling line-up with Samit Patel further strengthen it. If Pakistan can get Cook early then we may be able to expose the batting although Morgan had some valuable time in the middle in the last match.
England will be unchanged but I expect Pakistan to drop Rehman and play the keeper Adnan. Toss will be cruicial and Cook has a ratio of 17 correct out of 19 but by creating this thread Misbah will win the toss

Nice one KP but I thought the game would be over in the 35th over. A bit slow.

Congratulate both sides on some awesome cricket during these 2 totally different games of cricket. The manner in which these matches have been contested has been exemplary and the Pakistan fans on here are a joy to spend some of my free time with.
Can't remember ever saying that during the summer tour of our Indian guests.
The fourth ODI is now totally disinteresting and I hope both teams put out a whole bunch of young and up and coming, or even promising established players, and give us a good show, in keeping with this entire series.
P.S. I still wanted to win the test series most lol

Kind words Maski and full credit to England. If England can sort there middle order to go with the strong order they have a one day team that could win the world cup. Best bowling lineup and squad in world cricket without a shadow of doubt.
