And that's the declaration! Cummins calls them in. So he wanted 350. This is a good declaration. There will be 31 overs left today (or just under two hours play) and 90 overs tomorrow to decide this series. Usman Khawaja heads off unbeaten to more cheers. Will Pakistan believe they can chase these? First task is to get through this evening.
Kondal: "More than 350, I think cummins had reverse swing in mind with the second new ball tomorrow. 120 overs means, he will get at least 15-20 overs of reverse swing late evening tomorrow." - There's that as well, for sure
Usamah: "350 in 121 overs is very possible. Don't even need to go at 3 an over. I think Pakistan should look at chasing this total down, without taking too much risks." - In the history of Test cricket, chases of 350 are very rare.
Michael: "To think that had Travis Head had not caught covid before the 4th Ashes test Khawaja would not even be playing" Sliding doors. Cummins is now in his whites with cap on

Travis Head at No. 5. A lean series for him and he has to get a wriggle on here
