Quick Hands
David Wilson (68)
Tighter than a really tight thing, that. Shades of Trent Bridge 1973 when NZ made 440 chasing 479 which I think is still the closest anyone's got to chasing down 450+.

Pakistan showed that they can match it with anyone - but they also showed their other trait of inconsistency.
Still, well done to Pakistan. I thought that Smith put himself and the team under huge pressure by not enforcing the follow on. He had to judge when was the right time to declare and then had to restrict runs and take wickets on a pretty good pitch, without a match winning spinner.
The follow-on used to be enforced almost every time. Ever since Steve Waugh made a poor choice to enforce it in India all those years ago, captains tend to avoid it. There's a need to recalibrate the thinking.
