Personally I see a draw as quite unlikely just because I think if we end up playing for a

draw by going into our shells we will probably lose.

I think this England batting line up is much better when being proactive and looking to score in a sensible way (i.e. not like Mo did when he got out first innings).

We only need just over 3 an over. No need to be slogging just need to keep the singles ticking over and put the bad balls away.
