how many overs till we have an even money game again?? 15 left??

Don't think there's much chance we'll see an even money game again with only 3 wickets left to take but would think if they survive 10 of the 28 remaining that might do it, as will then have been together for a long time.  Would depend on how threatening the bowlers look a bit, of course.  It's a far from convincing Pakistan tail, of course and it's a different game if there's no batsman there with them.

weird i thought england would be much shorter in odds

Yes, agree.  My go green on draw at 6.2 was a pretty horrible bet, albeit that it's so far been justified.  Problem with that kind of bet is that you don't end up beating yourself up about it as much as you should do when the overwhelming favourite comes in because you've still won.  Having said that, it is a pretty flat track and stranger things have happened than tail enders lasting 30 overs.  They're not all Chris Martin, to be fair, but it's hardly a tail of Ali, Woakes, Broad, Finn, Anderson either.
