I have to congratulate both teams for a fascinating test that ebbed and flowed for four wonderful days.
I would also like to add that Strauss accepted the loss with good grace.
There was none of this 'wait til we get you back home' rubbish. Nor any of this 'what was the score last time?' trash talk.
But we'll do you when you come to England!
England lose with grace

Haha Peter in all fairness England bossed this test for 3 days only to have a 4th innings disaster.
I dont think anyone can beat England in England but they need to win 3rd test so it gives them some momentum for the Sri Lanka series who no doubt will play spinners and prepare turning tracks.

Good point. No excuses or sour grapes from England. Still think they'll be amongst the top 2 for a couple of years yet.... Eng-saffer series should be a cracker....

Been a great Test series between two Test nations who have played in the right spirit. It has been fine with the fans on this board too.
Well done to the resurgent Pakistan!
