The bowling line and length is making sure they have to play as well so it will be harder for Pakistan to see it out.
Personally I'm fed with 3 day test matches, it good to see the bowlers really having to work for their wickets.
There is a fine balance in the eternal contest between bat and ball, perhaps because in white ball cricket bat favours the ball and its unusual to see the same in a test?

Robinson’s getting the old ball to talk now. How did the bails not dislodge there?

I know I bang on about him a lot but Robinson is a world-class bowler. To have figures of 4-48 (so far) on a run-laden track is amazing.

If ever a picture captured a team's intent. There are no words I know of that could adequately describe this amazing match so I'll just say well done chaps - so proud of you and the way you go about the game.

Brilliant from the seamers to get nine wickets on this pitch in the final innings and great for Leach to win the match.

What an extraordinary match.
