After the farcical events of day four at The Oval, the bookmakers are understandably holding fire over putting up any odds going into the final day of the fourth and final Test, if, that is, it even takes place.
England batted pretty well to be 298-4 when play was abandoned for the day in the most controversial of circumstances as the umpires refused to take the field, having earlier watched Pakistan refuse to come out after tea after being accused of ball tampering.
Should the final day go ahead, there is still plenty to play for. England are 33 runs behind, with most of the top batsmen back in the pavillion.
