Ball is 13 overs old - opening burst of, say, 7 overs will knock the rest of the shine off the ball. So, bat at 3 an over for this time.
This gives England 37 runs at this point with 60 overs of this ball left, during which they need to score the majority of their runs.
So, from over 21 to 80 they really have to score at 4 an over, which will leave them 69 runs short of the target when the new ball is taken - and they'll need exactly 3 an over from then on. Simple. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif
