  1. BBC Weather's Matt Taylor might be on to something there. It's set fair at HQ at the moment, sunshine with some white clouds. It's a batting day, which is good news for England so long as they can get through the rest of this Pakistan tail.

    It's not negative. England should say we're just going to nullify Yasir with good defence. You can't be reckless with someone like that.

    And, on what's set to be a crackerjack fourth (and maybe final) day, we have it all covered. Test Match Special is on the air from Lord's and can be heard by hitting the live coverage tab at the top of the page. That's all wrapped up with informative and entertaining live text, along with our in-play video highlights.

  8. But before England can think about chasing, they have to mop up this Pakistan tail - there's still two wickets to get.

    The visitors begin on 214-8, some 281 runs ahead.

    They will be looking to eke that lead to 300, while England want the pads on as quickly as possible. That is where we begin.

  9. The rate it's going, they look set to face their highest chase since Mark Butcher played the innings of his career to defeat Australia at Headingley in 2001.

    Can anyone do a Butcher for England over the next two days?

  10. Which is where England find themselves today. No matter how long it takes the home side to wrap up the Pakistan innings on this fourth morning of the first Test, they will have to at least equal their highest ever successful chase at Lord's.

  11. And there are times when you need to do something that you've never done before.
