Soon Wahab Riaz and Yasir Shah were back in the hut. Misbah tried to take matters into his own hands by collecting a few quick runs. However, he couldn't do a lot before he ended up edging one off Anderson, who didn't take long to put the final nail in the coffin. England will now come out to bat for 2 overs, with the openers - Moeen and Cook looking to take the visitors through to stumps without any hiccups. Stay tuned.

England will be very happy with how the first innings has panned out for Pakistan. After tea, Sarfraz and Misbah continued their good work as their partnership soon crossed fifty. Misbah got to his half-century as well and at that stage, Pakistan were in the ascendancy. However, a loose shot from Sarfraz brought about his downfall and that opened the floodgates.

85.1 - Anderson to Rahat Ali, out Caught by Moeen Ali!! Pakistan have been bowled out for 234. A short of length delivery outside off, Rahat pokes at it away from his body, edges it towards fourth slip, where Moeen didn't react quickly enough. Luckily for him, the ball just got stuck between his body and the left arm. The Englishmen won't mind it one bit though. Rahat Ali c Moeen Ali b Anderson 4(7)

Anderson to Rahat Ali, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Over: 85 4 0 1 0 2 1 PAK 234/9

84.5 - Broad to Rahat Ali, 2 runs, on a good length and outside off, Rahat stays rooted to the crease and bunts it through the vacant mid-off region, the fielder from short cover gives chase and the batsmen take two before he gets to the ball

84.4 - Broad to Rahat Ali, no run, short and on off and middle, Rahat goes deep in the crease and pushes it into the off-side

84.3 - Broad to Babar, 1 run, just short of a good length and outside off, Babar stays back and knocks it square of the wicket for a single

84.2 - Broad to Babar, no run, banged in short and down leg, Babar ducks under it but only just. The ball didn't rise as much as he expected on this occasion

84.1 - Broad to Babar, FOUR, shortish delivery angling down the leg-side, Babar stays on the back foot, gets some bat on the ball as he plays the flick, it races away to the fence

Yasir Shah 7(13) Misbah 71(159) Broad 12-8-5-2

82.6 - Broad to Yasir Shah, out Caught by Samit Patel!! Doesn't matter if they went for the review or not on the previous ball because Yasir has picked out the fielder in the deep. This was banged in short, Yasir goes for the pull, swivels as well but doesn't get it anywhere close to the middle. Samit Patel at deep square leg takes the simplest of catches. Yasir Shah c Samit Patel b Broad 7(13) [4s-1]

Broad to Yasir Shah, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

82.5 - Broad to Yasir Shah, no run, a big appeal for lbw! England though don't take the review. This was a back of a length delivery that jags back in on leg, Yasir fails to work it away and wears it high on the pad. The angle though was taking it down leg

82.4 - Broad to Yasir Shah, no run, just short of a good length and on off, the ball doesn't bounce as much as Broad expected, Yasir though does well to defend it off the front foot

82.2 - Broad to Yasir Shah, leg byes, 1 run, angling in on leg stump line, Yasir fails to tuck it away and the ball rolls away behind square on the leg-side off the thigh pad.

80.5 - Samit Patel to Misbah, SIX, smashed! Batting with the tail - this is where Misbah can be extremely dangerous. He is one of the best strikers of the cricket ball and he can quickly take the game away from the opposition. He kneels down yet again and slogs this flighted delivery way over the long-on fence

80.4 - Samit Patel to Misbah, 2 runs, floated up on middle stump line, Misbah kneels across and sweeps it fine, the keeper moved to his left but couldn't stop it, the batsmen come back for the second

80.3 - Samit Patel to Misbah, no run, darted on the pads, Misbah dead-bats it to his left

80.2 - Samit Patel to Misbah, FOUR, and again! Same ball, same result. Another full toss on the stumps, Misbah laps it past the fielder at slip, the fielder at backward point doesn't even give it a chase, hits the fence in no time

80.1 - Samit Patel to Misbah, FOUR, good improvisation from Misbah. A loopy full toss around off, Misbah employs the reverse sweep and laps it past the fielder at slip, races away to the fence in a jiffy

The second new ball is due now. England have not opted for it straightaway. For now, Patel will continue.

A wicket against the run of play, England have exposed Pakistan's tail with new ball round the corner. Sarfraz Ahmed c Root b Moeen Ali 39(76) [4s-3]

74.5 - Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, flatter and well outside off, Sarfraz reaches out and slaps it to extra cover

Stokes' teammates have a look of concern on their faces. The good thing is he's up and is walking off the ground - strapped up, might have to go to the hospital. Is he out for the rest of the match? Stokes gets a warm applause from the English crowd as he walks off, doesn't look all that well though. He might have dislocated his shoulder here.

74.4 - Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, Stokes is down and he doesn't look too good. He almost completed a stunning one-handed catch but landed very badly on his right shoulder. He doesn't look all that well, the medical team has arrived. Coming to the ball, it was a juicy full-toss from Samit, Sarfraz went down on one-knee and swept it uppishly and to the left of backward square leg. Stokes threw himself at the ball, grabbed it with his left hand, but as he landed onto the ground, he fell badly and the ball popped out

73.6 - Stokes to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, yorker length delivery and just outside off, Sarfraz plays with an open face and guides it to Root at gully.

Welcome back. The players are making their way out to the middle

Asad Shafiq and Misbah then went into a shell as the runs dried up soon after. The pressure kept building on the batsmen and Shafiq perised because of it, edging one to Bairstow off Patel. However, Pakistan has been positive ever since Sarfraz came out. Sarfraz and Misbah have added 32 runs for the sixth wicket till now and it will be important for these two to stay at the crease for a much longer time, if Pakistan are to post a decent first innings total. Join us for the post-tea session in 10 minutes.

Tea, day 1: England will be extremely happy with how things stand at the moment. Things could have been even better had a few half chances gone their way. Pakistan though will be a little disappointed with the performance of their batsmen. Shoaib Malik didn't last long after lunch, edging one off Broad, a wicket that was very similar to Azhar Ali's dismissal. James Anderson then came on and removed Younis Khan with only the first ball of his new spell, trapping him in front with a full toss.

England are claiming a catch. Has the ball carried through to Bairstow. He's confident that he has caught it cleanly. There seemed to be an inside edge on that. The third umpire is being called for. The soft signal is NOT OUT. Looks like it has bounced before settling into Bairstow's gloves, should remain NOT OUT

30.1 - Broad to Younis Khan, no run, fuller length delivery and holding its line outside off, Younis covers the line, lifts his bat and lets it go

Moeen Ali almost had his second wicket when Shoaib Malik was given out lbw. However, Malik reviewed the onfield call and got the decision overturned. Younis Khan and Shoaib Malik then took Pakistan to lunch without any hiccups. With the pitch already offering some turn, Cook's decision to play three spinners might actually work in their favour. However, for England to take advantage, they need to dismiss Pakistan early in the first innings. The second session promises another great contest between the bat and the ball. Join us for that in around 35 minutes.

Lunch, day 1: Pakistan didn't get off to the best of starts with Azhar Ali departing without troubling the scorers. Malik and Hafeez then decided to bide their time, making sure that Pakistan don't lose any more wickets to Anderson and Broad. The spinners came on and that's when Pakistan decided to push their scoring rate up. They managed to score a few runs before Moeen got Hafeez to top-edge a pull to Broad, bringing an end to a 44-run second wicket partnership.

Afternoon session: Welcome back! With Samit Patel hanging in there, England will hope to eke out a substantial lead and with them having to bat last, even the current lead of 51 runs should weigh in gold. Stay tuned for more action from the nostalgic Mecca that is Sharjah.

With only three more wickets remaining and one of them being Ben Stokes. England would want Samit Patel to continue and stretch the lead past 100. On the other hand, Pakistan will be looking to wrap up the innings quickly after the break and begin their second innings. An interesting second session on the cards. You don't want to miss it. Join us back at 12:35 local time...

Well, it was almost England's session. But the wicket of Rashid makes it even-stevens. Rahat Ali provided the early breakthrough for Pakistan by nipping out the set batsman, James Taylor. Babar then set-up Bairstow beautifully and managed to castle him with an arm-ball. Samit Patel took his time to settle down, but once in, he has looked assured. Rashid was giving him good company and the pair had added 40 runs. However, Malik struck on the brink of lunch to break the partnership.

120.4 - Shoaib Malik to Adil Rashid, out Caught by Azhar Ali!! Terrific catch from Azhar Ali. Malik has broken the partnership. It was slightly quicker and goes straight, Rashid is half forward to defend, the ball takes the inside edge and goes quickly to the right of FSL, Ali stayed low, dived to his right and gobbled it up with one hand. That will be lunch. Adil Rashid c Azhar Ali b Shoaib Malik 8(52) [4s-1]

Rahat exults in delight, he's been very impressive in this match, Pakistan have struck early on Day 3. James Taylor c Sarfraz Ahmed b Rahat Ali 76(161) [4s-6]

Anderson: 'It gives great pleasure to take wickets here, it's a big challenge and takes plenty of ability to take wickets on these surfaces. We acclimatize and try to get used to the heat here (on the physical front), but we need to be mentally ready to face some boring days, we need to create pressure and bowl to our plans. Pakistan are very good against spin, they put a lot of pressure on our spinners, but I thought they (England spinners) did a great job. It's up to us (pacers) to keep the runs down in our bowling stint. It's all about learning skills and nothing more. The partnership between Taylor and Bairstow was fantastic, but we are still behind, we need to build on from yesterday. We still have some batting to come. In their second innings, we need to bowl well, they (Pakistan batsmen) will come hard at us. We know we can get into their line-up, but need to bowl well.'

Pitch Report: 'The pitch has become dry and all the mositure has gone. There are some cracks on the surface, but nothing that should worry the batsmen. There will be turn for the spinners, but it will be on the slower side. Another day of hard grinding - both, for the batsmen as well as the bowlers,' reckons Bazid Khan.

Pakistan were disciplined with the ball but on a pitch that held no terrors, it was hard to dislodge the determined English batsmen. Alastair Cook and Ian Bell got forties and will be disappointed that they could not carry on and post a big score. Yasir Shah was impressive, but the bowlers generally struggled on the slow turner.

09:20 Local Time, 05:20 GMT, 10:50 IST: From a connoisseur's point of view, Day 2 was as dull and boring as it could get. But from England's perspective, it was almost a perfect day of cricket. They scored only 218 runs for the loss of four wickets, but by the end of the day - they have almost achieved parity with Pakistan, with five wickets still in hand (Ben Stokes is doubtful for the rest of the match). James Taylor had to wait for more than three years to make a Test comeback and he made the most of it - remaining unbeaten on 74. Giving him good company was Jonny Bairstow, who's batting on 37. The pair have already added 83 runs for the fifth wicket and look set for more.

Ian Bell threw his wicket away soon after the tea break as he was stumped off Yasir Shah. Jonny Bairstow then joined James Taylor at the crease and the duo treated the bowling on merit to share a fine unbeaten 83-run stand. The latter, who is making a comeback to Test cricket after three years, recorded his maiden Test fifty as well. Yasir Shah bowled reasonably well, but Pakistan did not get much assistance from the pitch as England did yesterday. The visitors are just 12 runs adrift now and they will be looking to gain a handy first innings lead. So that's it from us then. Join us back tomorrow for all the Day 3 action at 10:00 local time. Goodbye!

Stumps, Day 2: A very good day for England, although they made slow progress. They could score just 218 runs in the day, which is very, very low by modern day standards. England were off to a decent start this morning, but Moeen Ali gifted his wicket away when Pakistan introduced Shoaib Malik into the attack. Captain Alastair Cook and Ian Bell then combined well to ensure that no more damage was done before lunch. In the second session, England lost both Cook and Joe Root in quick succession and their scoring dropped considerably. In fact, the second session yielded just 48 runs for England.

85.6 - Rahat Ali to Bairstow, no run, big shout from Sarfraz for caught behind, Rahat Ali doesn't join the party. Oh hang on! There was a definite sound as the ball passed the bat. The slip cordon and the keeper were convinced, but the bowler didn't react. The bat was well away from the pad, so the noise could have only been the edge. Looks like a lucky escape for Bairstow. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Bairstow slashes, gets an under edge probably and gets away with it. Misbah wasn't keen for the review as well

This was given more air around off, Bell comes charging down the track, he looks to defend but the ball spins away and goes past his blade, the keeper collects and before Bell could turn around and get back inside the crease, he whips the bails off in a flash to catch him short.

Bell 40(156) James Taylor 29(57) Babar 16-1-39-0

61.6 - Babar to Bell, no run, what happened there? The fielder at silly point didn't have a clue where the ball went. Bell came down the track and wanted to drive it through the cover region, he hits it uppishly and the ball lobs up in the air off his shin pad, he goes back but didn't know where the ball was, he was looking skywards but the ball just lands behind him. Bell was lucky once again

61.5 - Babar to Bell, no run, another stifled appeal for lbw as Bell misses the sweep and wears it on the pad, it pitched outside leg though

61.4 - Babar to Bell, no run, this one pitched just outside off and spun a long way away from the batsman, who prods forward to defend, the ball went past the outside edge, not sure if he got a faint tickle on it or not. Looked pretty close though and Pakistan lose a review

Pakistan have reviewed a caught behind appeal. Babar's front foot is fine. Did it take the outside edge on its way to the keeper? The keeper went up immediately as soon as he took the catch. The sound could also be from the bat hitting the pad. However, it still looks pretty close to the outside edge. The third umpire is taking a look at a number of replays. Remember, the onfield call is not out. The third umpire needs to be hundred percent sure to overturn the onfield call. Since there is no Snicko or Hotspot available, the third umpire uphelds the onfield call as there is no conclusive evidence. Bell stays

61.3 - Babar to Bell, no run, floated up on the stumps, Bell gently pushes it into the off-side

61.2 - Babar to Bell, no run, very full and on the pads from over the wicket, Bell fails to clip it away and the ball rolls away into the on-side off the pad, it pitched outside leg though

61.1 - Babar to James Taylor, 3 runs, drifts down the leg-side, Taylor kneels down and sweeps it fine on the leg-side, the batsmen take three before the ball is hunted down in the deep

A slow session in terms of runs scored. England lost the wickets of Alastair Cook and Joe Root - while adding 48 runs in the 27 overs bowled. Cook was caught at short leg while Root feathered an edge to the keeper, dismissed for a rare single figure score. Ian Bell has batted in a dour fashion while James Taylor has been very positive - especially against the spinners, using his feet to good effect. On their part, Pakistan maintained their discipline and made sure that the scoring was restricted to a minimum. Who will win this battle of patience? Join us in a while..

It was a fuller length delivery that was angled across the right-hander, Root pushes, got an outside edge, the keeper dived to his right and pouched the catch just inches away from the ground with one hand. The onfield umpire was not sure about whether the catch was clean or not.

Root c Sarfraz Ahmed b Rahat Ali 4(14)

Rahat Ali to Root, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

The umpire has gone up to the third umpire to check whether the keeper has taken the catch cleanly. The soft signal is out. From the replays it can be seen that the catch is clean. The finger is raised and Root is out.

The players are making their way out to the middle. Rahat will open the attack after lunch with two slips and a gully in place.

Welcome back for the second session. Alastair Cook and Ian Bell played with pluck and steel to keep the scorecard ticking in the morning. So can Pakistan snaffle a few wickets in the afternoon? Or will the able duo continue to collect runs at a brisk pace?

Pakistan tried to take advantage of the opening, but captain Cook and Bell ensured that no more damage was done. You would say England are placed comfortably at this stage, but Pakistan will fancy their chances as the ball has just started to reverse a bit. Yasir Shah almost had Cook caught on a couple of occasions as well. The pitch played very well for batsmen in the morning, but the spinners are expected to get a bit more of out it in the next session. Take a break and join us back at 12:40 local time for what promises to be an exciting post-lunch session.

Lunch, Day 2: Excellent morning session for England. They have scored 83 runs for the loss of Moeen Ali. Things could have been even better for the visitors had Moeen not played a rash shot and gifted his wicket. Cook and Moeen almost saw off the first 30 minutes, but Moeen lost his mind when Misbah introduced Malik into the attack. In the name of taking the attack to the spinner, Moeen played an ugly slog-sweep and top-edged it to slip.

The players are out in the middle. Huge day for England, they have a slight opening, can they make the most of it?

Pitch Report: 'There are some footmarks that are already appearing, they are on a good length area and should keep the spinners interested. There's a rough developing as well. The pitch has become a tad harder and while there will be spin, it will be on the slower side. Overall, the batsmen will find it hard to score runs at a fair clip,' reckons Bazid Khan

For England, James Anderson and Stuart Broad were the real stars. They did not just kept the run flow under check, but also chipped in with regular wickets. Anderson finished with impressive figures of 4/17, going past Shaun Pollock's haul of 421 Test scalps in the process while Broad finished with 2/13. Together, the duo's figures read 28.1-15-30-6, dashing Pakistan's hopes of securing a big first innings score. The pitch has already started to play tricks and it will be up to England's batsmen to make the most of their bowler's efforts.

09:20 Local Time, 05:20 GMT, 10:50 IST: Day 2 of the Sharjah Test and England have their noses slightly ahead, The bowlers responded magnificently to Alastair Cook losing the toss for the third straight time in this series by bundling out Pakistan for just 234. The decision to play Samit Patel as the third spinner reaped rewards with the allrounder snaffling two victims. It could have been a lot worse for the hosts if not for skipper Misbah-ul-Haq's defiant knock of 71. On a pitch that's already showing plenty of signs of deteriorating, the Pakistan captain was at his obdurate best, frustrating the English bowlers with his patience and the ability to convert starts into bigger knocks.

Another cracking day of Test cricket awaits us tomorrow. We'll be here nice and early as always. For now, it's time to say goodbye. Take care folks!

The Pakistani bowlers will have their task cut out when they come out tomorrow. However, at the same time, the pitch has not been that great for batting. England will be looking for a big first innings score to put more pressure on Pakistan. Considering that Cook's men will bat last on a pitch that is already offering a lot of assistance to the bowlers, it is imperative for them to put a big first innings score.

Stumps, day 1: The English openers look happy as they walk off the field and why wouldn't they be? The visitors definitely hold the advantage at the end of day 1. Cook's disappointment after Misbah-ul-Haq won yet another toss and decided to bat clearly pointed out how much England wanted to bat first in this game. Even though the coin toss didn't go in their favour, their bowlers have responded brilliantly. Bowling out Pakistan for 234 on the very first day will definitely give them hope of levelling the series.

Cook 0(6) Moeen Ali 0(0) Rahat Ali 1-1-0-0

0.6 - Rahat Ali to Cook, no run, full delivery that shapes away sharply around the leg stump line, Cook didn't offer a shot and wears it on the pad, it pitched outside leg though and that's why the Pakistani players weren't that excited

0.5 - Rahat Ali to Cook, no run, on a good length and swinging away just outside off, Cook covers his stumps and lets it go

0.4 - Rahat Ali to Cook, no run, slightly back of a length delivery outside off, Cook pushes it to short cover off the back foot

0.3 - Rahat Ali to Cook, no run, angling in on off and middle, Cook gently nudges it into the on-side from the crease

0.1 - Rahat Ali to Cook, no run, banged in short and well outside off, Cook lets it go

Cook and Moeen Ali are at the crease. Cook is on strike. Rahat Ali will open the attack

Welcome back. England need to rewrite the history books if they have to level the series. They haven't chased this many before in Asia. Live visuals show Waqar Younis having a chat with Wahab Riaz, he is pepping him up. The England openers walk out as well. Rahat Ali to start off. Moeen Ali on strike. Three slips, a gully and a short leg in place

In this short session after tea, Pakistan started off brightly as runs came from Riaz and Shafiq but the innings ended quickly after Broad got the latter out. It is now upto the batsmen to do the job and needless to say Cook and Root's wickets will be worth their weight in gold in this last innings. We will be here soon to see all that and more. Do stay tuned...

So England need 284 to level the series. They have a minimum of 112 overs to do it. No rain to factor in as well. But do they have the skill and the patience to withstand Yasir Shah, Babar and Riaz? That's the major question everyone will be asking of them. The pitch is turning and assisting spin. Reverse swing will be a big factor as well and Riaz will be deadly when that does happen. The target isn't a small one and expect lots of appealing, shouting and close-in chat from the Pakistanis.

118.2 - Moeen Ali to Riaz, out Riaz Run Out!! 1 run completed. Riaz has been run out. There was no second at all there, still Riaz went for it and was caught well short. Paddled the pull around the corner and turned blind for the second, Bell gave chase, slid and threw the ball back to Bairstow who did the rest. A good throw too for it was right over the bails. Riaz should've put in a full length dive to have had any chance of making it, but didn't. The third umpire confirmed the out call. Riaz run out (Bell/Bairstow) 21(27) [4s-2]

Moeen Ali to Riaz, THAT'S OUT!! Run Out!!

117.4 - Broad to Babar, no run, full and on off, Babar gets forward and wrists it elegantly to the right of mid-on who slides and stops

Zulfiqar Babar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

117.3 - Broad to Shafiq, out Bowled!! "Oohh, what an angle" screams Ramiz Rambo Raja on air after seeing the replay of that wicket. He goes ballistic on air. This was a special delivery no doubt. Pitched outside off and nipped back in sharply, cut Shafiq in half, went through the bat and pad gap and hit top of middle. Superb stuff from Broad to get rid of such a settled and technically composed batsman like Shafiq. Shafiq looked at the spot where the ball landed and then went off. The feet were stuck and didn't move. A pleasing sight for a fast bowler and Broad punches the air with his fist vigorously in celebration. Shafiq b Broad 46(109) [4s-4 6s-1]

Broad to Shafiq, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

117.2 - Broad to Riaz, 1 run, direct hit from Samit Patel at cover and Riaz was gone. Driven to the fielder's right, a single-handed pickup and throw, just that Patel was off target. Riaz was stretching to make it and wouldn't have, he was struggling to make it

116.4 - Moeen Ali to Riaz, 1 run, another sweep, controlled this time to deep square leg

116.3 - Moeen Ali to Riaz, FOUR, looped up outside off, Riaz gets forward and thumps it in the air over mid-wicket, beats deep mid-wicket with ease. When it is in his zone, he will go for it. Useful runs these

116.2 - Moeen Ali to Riaz, no run, swept to short fine, straight to the fielder

116.1 - Moeen Ali to Riaz, no run, sharp spin for Moeen Ali and he raps Riaz on the front pad, Riaz's bat nowhere in line with the ball as he pushed outside the line, impact was outside off so the appeal is rejected by the umpire

115.2 - Broad to Shafiq, no run, pitched up outside off, left alone

114.2 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, 1 run, flatter and turning in from outside off, Shafiq goes deep in the crease and nudges it through mid-wicket for a single

114.1 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, floated up just outside off, Shafiq comes slightly across and turns it straight to FSL, who throws the ball back towards the keeper and Shafiq had to maintain his balance to keep his foot inside the crease

113.6 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, the googly from Rashid, Riaz doesn't pick it yet again as he comes forward to defend, misses it completely and wears it on the pad. It would have gone on to hit the stumps, but the impact was umpire's call. So, Riaz stays

England have decided to review an lbw decision. Rashid's front foot is fine. Hawk-Eye shows that the impact was umpire's call. It will stay with the onfield call and England lose a review

113.5 - Adil Rashid to Shafiq, 1 run, flatter and well outside off, Shafiq gives himself slight room and cuts it to the left of extra cover, gets to the other end with a single

112.6 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, SIX, that's a good strike from Shafiq. He comes charging down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it through the line. The ball hits the ad cushions on the full, the onfield umpire consults the TV umpire before signalling a six

112.5 - Samit Patel to Riaz, 1 run, drifting on middle and leg, Riaz works it through mid-wicket and gets off strike with a single

112.4 - Samit Patel to Riaz, no run, kneels down and goes for the sweep, doesn't get it off the meat of the bat, the ball rolls away to the left of the keeper and the fielder at slip quickly moves across to prevent the single

A slip and a gully in place

112.1 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, 1 run, loopy delivery outside off, Shafiq drives it to the left of the bowler, who fails to stop it after moving across. The batsmen take a single as the ball dribbles away towards long-off

Broad was getting ready to bowl, but the umpire tells him that he has not been on the field long enough to take the ball. He'll have to wait for at least an over more

111.4 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, floated up outside off and spinning away further, it was touch quicker as well. Riaz comes forward to dead-bat it, the ball spins past the outside edge and the keeper collects

111.3 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, FOUR, full toss from Rashid, Riaz doesn't miss out on the freebie, he reaches out and drives it through the extra cover region for another boundary

111.2 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, kneels down and sweeps this flighted delivery to square leg

111.1 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, half an appeal for lbw but the umpire is not amused. Drifting on the pads, Riaz fails to work it away and wears it on the pad, that pitched outside leg

109.6 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, the googly from Rashid. Riaz doesn't pick it and misses the flick, wears it on the pad. There was a stifled appeal for an lbw decision but it was going down the leg-side

109.5 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, no run, slower through the air and spinning away just outside off, Riaz opens the face of the bat and pushes it to backward point

109.4 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, 2 runs, now Riaz kneels down and sweeps this flighted delivery on off through mid-wicket, the batsmen take another two before the fielder in the deep tidies up

109.3 - Adil Rashid to Riaz, 2 runs, flatter delivery outside off, Riaz knocks it through the cover region, comes back for the second with ease

Wahab Riaz, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Welcome back. The players are making their way out to the middle. Rashid will start the proceedings. Riaz will be on strike. A slip, a leg slip and a FSL in place.

We will be back very soon to find out what the final session has in store. Do stay tuned...

England's spinners were not consistent and that's why the lead has grown to 247. Rashid has been very poor today, offering no semblance of control to his skipper. Way too short whenever he has been thrown the ball. Anderson and Broad have been left to toil on their own without the spinners' support and that has affected their potency. Shafiq has battled on after a blow to his shoulder and would be looking to add a few more runs to his team's total.

Off go the players and England are hanging in there after taking four wickets in the session. The short ball ploy worked in reverse for Misbah, Hafeez threw it away while Sarfraz and Yasir fell at the end of the session. But not before Pakistan had extended their lead to 247. Anything over this will be a bonus and already this looks like a tough score to be chasing in the fourth innings.

109.2 - Adil Rashid to Yasir Shah, out Caught by Broad!! Tame dismissal. Extra bounce outside off, Yasir Shah wanted to slash that over point, is done in by the extra bounce and finds Broad at point. Couldn't control the shot at all. Adil Rashid offers a weak smile after grabbing his first wicket. And with that wicket the players take tea as well. Yasir Shah c Broad b Adil Rashid 4(16) [4s-1]

Adil Rashid to Yasir Shah, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

Ramiz Rambo Raja on air: "On a pitch like this, even half bowlers become full bowlers because you look forward to a great spell of bowling". Another one of his commentary gems!

Shafiq goes up to Yasir Shah to have a word

107.4 - Anderson to Yasir Shah, no run, ducks under that short ball early, the ball doesn't bounce much and since the line is outside off, no damage done

107.3 - Anderson to Yasir Shah, no run, the feet moves in line and Yasir Shah softly pushes it to Jordan at silly mid-on

107.2 - Anderson to Yasir Shah, no run, fullish and on off stump, Yasir Shah defends solidly with bat and pad close together

106.6 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, no run, very full on the stumps, defended

106.5 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, no run, what a clanger by Anderson at mid-on! A sitter and he has grassed it. Shafiq comes down the track and then looks to go over Anderson, hits it almost straight to Anderson who for some strange reason moved to his left initially, overreached in fact and went reverse-cup with two hands to his right on seeing the ball late. The ball hits the hands and pops up, Anderson went for the rebound with one hand but didn't lay a finger on it. A dolly and really surprising to see one of England's best fielders put down such a simple chance

106.4 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, no run, gently nudged to the vacant short leg, no chance of a quick single

106.3 - Samit Patel to Shafiq, no run, the armer on off, Shafiq blocks from the crease

Yasir Shah, right handed bat, comes to the crease

104.5 - Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Peach of a delivery from Samit Patel and he bowls Sarfraz Ahmed out. Pitches around middle and then spins past the bat to hit off. Sarfraz should've covered the line properly there, didn't, opened his stance out and played it gingerly from the crease, left a way for the ball to go through. Samit Patel too did well to loop that up and extract turn out of the surface. If Sarfraz was decisive with his footwork, he could've negotiated that ball. Samit Patel celebrates with passion.

Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

104.2 - Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, quicker on the stumps, defended to the vacant short leg

104.1 - Samit Patel to Sarfraz Ahmed, FOUR, Sarfraz Ahmed takes the ball on the full and then top-edges the sweep, places it towards fine leg and gets a boundary. The ball rolls into the ropes

99.5 - Adil Rashid to Shafiq, no run, down leg, swept and Anderson at leg-slip dives to his left to stop the shot

98.3 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, 1 run, short and spinning in, Shafiq sits and short-arm pulls to deep backward square leg

98.2 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, big appeal for lbw but not given. Hawk-Eye shows it was missing leg. Turned in sharply and rapped Shafiq on the pad, the batsman missed the forward defence. It was spinning too much and rightly England don't take the review

98.1 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, FOUR, comes down the track and then clears mid-on. Shafiq using his feet to get close to the pitch of the ball, too close in fact and just about eludes Anderson's left hand. High and wide of the quickie, Anderson went there but it was hit well to miss him

94.4 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, 1 run, now Shafiq uses his feet and works a single to mid-on. Well-run

94.3 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, a pre-meditated paddle and the length is too full for the stroke, the ball rolls besides the pitch after taking a thick bottom edge

94.2 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, Shafiq gets forward and dead-bats

94.1 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, swept to leg-slip where a sharp stop is made

Time for drinks. England took the new ball first up in the session and have taken two wickets with it. One fell to the seamer when Broad trapped Misbah lbw. The trap was set for the short ball and Broad pinned Misbah in front with a length delivery. Then Hafeez gave it away, holing out to long-on. Shafiq has been struck a painful blow on the shoulder and is battling through discomfort. The lead is 193 and Pakistan need at least 50 more to feel comfortable. England may have other ideas though

92.6 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, and now glove onto the pad falls tantalisingly in front of backward short leg. Another late forward defence from Shafiq, the ball takes the pad and then the glove, before it loops in the air. There was no short leg and backward short leg couldn't get there in time. Regulation take if there was a short leg in place

92.5 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, that's the line and length, tossed up outside off, turns in, takes the inside edge and falls well in front of backward short leg. Shafiq didn't completely cover the line there

92.4 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, and again, to the right of the bowler

92.3 - Moeen Ali to Shafiq, no run, solid forward block

92.2 - Moeen Ali to Sarfraz Ahmed, 1 run, straight through Taylor's hands at backward short leg. Have to call that a drop. But it must be said it went quickly and off the face of the bat as Sarfraz Ahmed went back and clipped. Taylor didn't anticipate the stroke and also the hands couldn't cup the ball. Went searching and grabbing for the ball and it escaped through his hands. Difficult chance but definitely catchable

92.1 - Moeen Ali to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, tossed up outside off, Sarfraz Ahmed mistimes the cover drive, got too close to the pitch of the ball and that's why the ball dribbled to mid-off

91.5 - Adil Rashid to Shafiq, no run, Shafiq is struggling. Really in pain. Horribly mistimes the cut to a shorter delivery outside off and finds Anderson at cover. Slight fumble but they don't go for the quick single. Shafiq's body went back as he gave his all into the stroke. Felt the impact for sure

91.4 - Adil Rashid to Shafiq, no run, wide of the crease and angled in on off stump, Shafiq dead-bats

90.6 - Moeen Ali to Sarfraz Ahmed, no run, Sarfraz Ahmed missed the sweep to a delivery outside off, Bairstow was a trifle late in taking the bails off. That allowed Sarfraz to pull his back leg in. The foot was outside the crease but Sarfraz plonked it back in the nick of time. This is where Mahendra Singh Dhoni is so good. No followthrough and a unique way to stump people. Quicksilver reflexes would've done the job for England there

Third umpire called for a stumping appeal. No danger as Sarfraz Ahmed gets his foot back in. Easy call for the third umpire

88.5 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, out Caught by Bell!! Hafeez has given it away. Another massive wicket for England. Moeen Ali does the double fist pump. Beat Hafeez in flight as the batsman came down the track, skewed straight off the inside half of the bat and Bell moved to his left at long-on to take a simple catch. Hafeez out of nowhere decided to take Moeen Ali on and has perished. Once he didn't get to the pitch, he should've maybe milked a single as there was a deep fielder lurking for the miscued hit.

Slight delay in play as Shafiq gets ready to strap all his gear on

87.5 - Broad to Shafiq, no run, straight off the shoulder and caught at short leg. England appeal but that has come off the left shoulder. Shafiq has been sconed by that short ball and needs medical attention. The physio is out and Shafiq is seen flexing that left hand of his

87.4 - Broad to Shafiq, 2 runs, now stays back and punches wide of Jordan - the sub - at mid-off. They respect Jordan's arm and athleticism and decide to stick with two

87.3 - Broad to Shafiq, FOUR, flowing cover drive! Shafiq looked so wonderful when he drove that. The back knee bent and touched the ground, it was a length delivery outside off and Shafiq came forward to drive on the rise. Superbly struck and it raced away. Technically perfect - that stroke

87.2 - Broad to Shafiq, no run, pitched up outside off, Shafiq gets forward and defends towards gully

86.4 - Anderson to Hafeez, 2 runs, 150 for Hafeez! Again he raises the bat to applause. Sarfraz and Waqar Younis clap from the dressing room. On a back of a length and outside off, Hafeez stays back and punches through cover for a couple of runs. This has been a priceless knock from the Professor!

85.1 - Broad to Misbah, out Lbw!! Priceless reactions from Misbah. He keeps shaking his head and has a wry smile as he walks off, without even contemplating a review. I guess his reactions stem from the fact that he has played all around a straight ball and missed. It kept low for sure after angling in, but Misbah after shuffling across missed the clip and was pinned on his crease right in front. Easy call for umpire Oxenford. Even Hafeez didn't have a word with his departing skipper. Broad strikes with the new ball and it is a big wicket. Also one that England needed badly. Was he expecting the short ball? The field was set for the short ball and Misbah fell into the trap. Misbah lbw b Broad 38(86) [4s-2 6s-1]

Misbah isn't happy for not playing that forcefully. Practices the whip after the ball went to ground. Broad too was frustrated for the ball not going to hand. He kicked the turf

83.5 - Broad to Misbah, no run, back of a length outside off, Misbah defends

83.4 - Broad to Misbah, FOUR, fine leg glance by Misbah. Broad drifted down leg and Misbah got inside the line to tickle it to the fence. Played it off the bat face and gave the keeper no chance, even though he dived to his left to try and catch that

83.3 - Broad to Hafeez, 1 run, short on the stumps, Hafeez gets inside the line to pull, but the ball beats his stroke and takes the glove to fine leg, the short ball hurried Hafeez that time

81.6 - Broad to Hafeez, leg byes, FOUR, vicious short delivery and it has clipped the top of the helmet as Hafeez ducked under that, flies over the keeper. It was just a glancing blow as Hafeez expected it to bounce much higher. It didn't and Pakistan get four more extra runs. Broad checked with Hafeez whether he was fine and the batsman nodded in agreement

81.5 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, this is a poor first over with the new ball by Broad, down leg and Bairstow had to be quick to dive to his left to take that. That flew after pitching

81.4 - Broad to Misbah, 1 run, too straight and that's nudged to fine leg by Misbah

81.3 - Broad to Misbah, byes, 2 runs, down leg, the inswinger gone wrong, Bairstow dives to his left and gets a glove on it, fails to stop the two byes though

81.2 - Broad to Misbah, no run, back of a length and it rises high to rap Misbah on the glove. He looked to defend off the back foot but the ball bounced extra to ping the glove. He takes time to compose himself, removes his glove and has a look at his hand. Doesn't call for the physio though

Two slips and a short leg in

81.1 - Broad to Misbah, no run, outswinger outside off, easily left alone

As expected, the new ball has been taken by England. Looks like it will be Broad who will start off with it. He is fiddling with his spikes. A waste of time - especially when there was a 40-minute break for lunch. Now it is all sorted and he is ready to go with the new ball. Misbah will face off first up. Here we go then...

As I have said many times already today, it won't be easy chasing anything over 200 on this. The Pakistani spinners are an altogether different proposition. A fascinating second session awaits us. Do join us soon to catch all the action...

Once the spinners came on - after Anderson and Broad had bowled impressively with the old ball, reversing it at will - things became easier for Hafeez and Misbah. While the former chanced his luck on many occasions, Misbah has built his innings brick by brick. England created the chances but didn't grab them. The longer this goes on, all those events will come back to haunt them. The second new ball is due now and that will be England's hope of taking quick wickets and restricting the lead to chaseable proportions.

Hafeez leads the players off the field - accepting the applause with his bat raised. A session that Pakistan have won and which puts them ahead in the game now. Lots of things happened in that session. Hafeez should've been out in the opening over of the day but for Bairstow's missed stumping. Then Broad dropped him off his own bowling after he got to his hundred. In between all that, Rahat Ali was dismissed and Misbah was his usual rock-solid self.

74.4 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, 1 run, shortish on the stumps, Hafeez nudges through mid-wicket for another single

74.3 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, no run, turning in, Hafeez wanted to come forward but got stuck on the crease, in the end he defends streakily to leg-slip

74.2 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, no run, flat on the stumps, defended to short mid-wicket

74.1 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, FOUR, tossed up outside off and turning in, Hafeez kneels down and slog-sweeps over square leg, beats the deep fielder easily. Calculated blow but well pulled off

England's spinners are a mixed bag at the moment. Some very good deliveries to go with pretty awful short balls. There is no consistency from them and that is allowing Pakistan to build the lead steadily. Don't think Yasir Shah and Babar will be so inconsistent. They will be making the ball talk in the fourth innings with close-in fielders breathing down England batsmen's necks

73.6 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, googly, pitches outside off and doesn't turn in enough to pose a threat to Misbah's off stump. Misbah reads it and shoulders arms. Good delivery but Misbah handled that well

73.5 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, short and wide outside off, Misbah has slapped that without any timing to extra cover

73.4 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, 3 runs, "catch" was the cry again but it was well wide of Broad at backward point. Floated up outside off, Hafeez jammed the square drive in the air and took three by the time Broad hauled it back in. Good running as well

73.3 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, 1 run, shortish and skiddy googly on the stumps, stays low, Misbah gets the bat down in time and nurdles a single through mid-wicket

73.2 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, lots of flight on that, on the stumps, pushed to silly point

72.5 - Moeen Ali to Misbah, 2 runs, too straight and tickled around the corner for two more

72.4 - Moeen Ali to Misbah, no run, angled across Misbah from round the wicket, dead-batted

72.3 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, 1 run, false stroke and again Hafeez gets away. Skips out and doesn't reach the pitch of the ball, still drags it to long-on

72.2 - Moeen Ali to Hafeez, no run, tossed up outside off, pushed back to Moeen Ali

Now over the wicket to Hafeez

72.1 - Moeen Ali to Misbah, 1 run, floated on the stumps, swept to deep backward square leg, lots of oohs and aahs from the fielders as Misbah picked it off the sticks

71.5 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, again Misbah misreads the length and is beaten. Didn't go forward to that one, instead plays back to a sharply turning leggie and is lucky not to nick that. Second time in two overs that Misbah has not picked the length off a spinner. That is rare to see. Again has a wry smile at Hafeez

71.4 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, driven to cover

71.3 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, SIX, that's Misbah for you. He will block you to death and then unleash one of his big hits when you least expect him to play. Sees the flight outside off and then takes Adil Rashid on, may have been the googly as well, Misbah unleashes a massive hit into the stands at long-on. Big wind-up and a clean connection. Punches gloves with Hafeez after the stroke

71.2 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, 1 run, "catch" was the cry from Adil Rashid and England but the ball drops in front of deep backward square leg. Swept out of the rough and that's always dangerous. Luckily for Hafeez the ball doesn't carry despite taking a fat top edge

71.1 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, loopy full toss on the stumps, Hafeez gets forward and toe-ends the drive back to the bowler

70.5 - Samit Patel to Misbah, no run, nudged off the back foot to leg-slip

70.4 - Samit Patel to Misbah, no run, punched to the right of Broad at point who dives and stops. Saved the single there

70.3 - Samit Patel to Misbah, no run, Misbah has misread that and is beaten. Should've played back to a shortish in length delivery, but came forward to defend and the ball spun away to beat the outside edge. Had a nibble at that one. Rare to see from Misbah, usually he is so decisive against the spinners. Has a wry smile after getting beaten

70.2 - Samit Patel to Misbah, no run, very full outside off, a jammed drive to short cover

Slip and leg-slip for Misbah

69.4 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, stays low and outside off, Misbah sort of flat-bats without any timing to cover-point

69.3 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, 1 run, shortish and on the stumps, Hafeez rocks back to punch in front of cover-point, quick single taken

69.2 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, more flight on this one, Hafeez gets forward and defends in the air, but there is no silly point, the ball rolls towards cover

69.1 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, 1 run, bad ball first up. Dragged down outside off, stays low and Misbah adjusts to pull to deep mid-wicket

68.4 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, 2 runs, high full toss on the stumps, flicked past mid-wicket for two more. This is poor bowling from Samit Patel, allowing Hafeez an easy time at the crease

68.3 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, no run, forward defence to silly point

68.2 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, FOUR, Hafeez has seen enough of Samit Patel and decides to take him on. Skips out to the pitch of the ball and lofts the left-arm spinner over mid-on's head. Clean strike

67.5 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, back of a length outside off, Hafeez stabs it to short cover

67.4 - Broad to Misbah, 1 run, full and swinging in, Misbah gets forward and flicks to the right of mid-on for a comfortable single

67.3 - Broad to Misbah, no run, good length outside off, Misbah defends from the crease to the left of cover

67.2 - Broad to Misbah, no run, short on the stumps, Misbah swivels on the pull and hits James Taylor on the head at short leg, the ball ricochets to mid-wicket. Misbah asked Taylor if he was fine and the latter nodded in agreement. Good to see

66.6 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, FOUR, bad delivery and it has been cut away between the two slips. Slashed in fact by Hafeez as he deliberately hit that in the air and it flew past Anderson before he could raise his hand. Races away to the fence

66.5 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, no run, Hafeez uses his feet and knocks that delivery back to Samit Patel

66.4 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, no run, on middle, defended to short cover

66.3 - Samit Patel to Hafeez, no run, bit more flight on off stump, pushed towards short cover

66.2 - Samit Patel to Misbah, 1 run, flat and short outside off, chopped to sweeper cover, for a single

Two slips in place

66.1 - Samit Patel to Misbah, 2 runs, a pre-meditated paddle sweep and down to fine leg for a couple

Samit Patel [11.0-0-40-0] is back into the attack

Misbah has looked solid and is content to block and wait for the bad ball. Hafeez is living a charmed life and that is frustrating the Englishmen. Anderson and Broad both have got appreciable reverse swing and the ball is doing a lot of things. Not easy batting last on this. England - in simple terms - need wickets and quickly to keep the target down

Time for drinks. A very eventful opening hour that. First ball of the day there was an lbw appeal and a review from Rashid against Hafeez. The ball pitched fractionally outside leg and then in the very same over Bairstow missed a stumping. Hafeez was on 97 still. Soon he reached his hundred and after that has had a life - dropped by Broad and seen a couple of other close calls go his way. Amidst all this Rahat Ali - the nightwatchman didn't last long and was bowled in the second over of the day.

65.6 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, back of a length outside off, Hafeez mistimes the punch to cover, the ball rolls to the fielder

65.5 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, short of length and on off, Hafeez defends off the back foot

65.4 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, outside off, steered with an open face to backward point

65.3 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, Broad is a hard man to please. He and every England player knows that it was missing leg, still appeals confidently and has an incredulous look on his face that it wasn't given out. Then does the same with Cook, looking for a review. Cook mentions it was sliding down and that ends the matter. Reversing full delivery on the pads, Hafeez flicked and missed and it was comfortably missing leg

65.2 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, Hafeez is getting lucky as the innings goes on. Now an outside edge falls in front of first slip. Pushed out with hard hands to a delivery outside off, the edge though didn't carry. More agony for Broad

65.1 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, fuller length outside off, Hafeez is half-forward and defending to short cover

64.4 - Anderson to Hafeez, 1 run, back of a length outside off, Hafeez stands tall and punches to deep backward point, for a single

64.3 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, this one stays low on off stump, Hafeez though covers it up well

64.2 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, fuller length outside off, Hafeez plays an angled bat drive, more of a steer, straight to the fielder at a deepish backward point

64.1 - Anderson to Misbah, 1 run, quick single taken and Hafeez makes it with a full length dive. Anyway the throw from short cover wasn't on target. Dabbed off the back foot by Misbah and Hafeez was a bit slow to get off the blocks. Makes it in the end and knew he had to put in the dive, which he did well

63.5 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, pitched up and tailing back in, Hafeez gets forward to play the flick, the bat comes down at an angle and the ball rolls towards mid-on off the pad after taking a thick inside edge

63.4 - Broad to Misbah, 1 run, back of a length on the hips, Misbah gets an inside edge onto the thigh pad on the flick, a single to fine leg

63.3 - Broad to Misbah, no run, wide of the crease and bowled very full outside off, Misbah lets it go

Also a deepish short leg in for Misbah

63.2 - Broad to Misbah, no run, angled in on off, Misbah defends solidly off the front foot

63.1 - Broad to Misbah, no run, outside off, left alone

Broad has a word with Hafeez as he works on the ball. Friendly chat as well. For Misbah Anderson has two slips in place. Regular ones as well

62.6 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, nips back in and strikes the thigh pad of Hafeez, but it was going down leg, so no real appeal for lbw

62.5 - Anderson to Hafeez, FOUR, well played by Hafeez. The off-cutter from Anderson, bounced off a length outside off, but Hafeez went back, rode the bounce and expertly steered it down, wide of the diving Taylor at backward point. No third man and it raced away. Cook hides his face with his hand in disappointment. The lead is now over 100

62.4 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, this one tails back in sharply and Hafeez covers it up, albeit a bit awkwardly, as it comes off the inner half and rolls back to Anderson

62.3 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, back of a length outside off, Hafeez opens the face of the bat on the defence and finds backward point

62.2 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, the variation from Anderson, the away swinger, outside off, left alone

61.6 - Broad to Hafeez, 1 run, back of a length outside off, dabbed to sweeper cover, for a single

61.5 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, dropped by Broad on his followthrough. He slaps the turf in anger after dropping that. Was a tough chance low to his left, after Hafeez had leading-edged the flick, Broad got there but couldn't hold on. Went with one hand but it didn't stick. Another life for Hafeez who continues his merry ways

Still no change in the slip cordon. First slip and a third slip with a gap in between

61.4 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, pitched up and on the stumps, flicked straight to the fielder at mid-wicket

Broad is just chipping some of the loose stuff hanging on the ball. He is using his nails to do his work but under the strict supervison of the umpire

61.3 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, full and angled back on, Hafeez gets forward and drives to mid-on

61.2 - Broad to Hafeez, no run, pitched up outside off, Hafeez defends to gully

61.1 - Broad to Hafeez, FOUR, straight in the gap and Broad is frustrated. No second slip and it has gone to where that man would've been. Anderson is more of a third slip and watches the ball fly past his left-hand. Has a wry smile on his face at the end of it all. Not sure Broad would have one. Reverse-swinging fuller length delivery outside off, Hafeez jammed out on that and got an outside edge. Got lucky as the ball flew in the gap. Four more to him

60.2 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, Hafeez's bat comes down late to a delivery that nips back in, the ball rolls off the thickish inside half into the off-side. Anderson just pulls his head back in disappointment

60.1 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, the appeal for lbw from Anderson dies down quickly as there was an inside edge onto the pad on the attempted flick from Hafeez. Darted in sharply and at a fuller length, Hafeez falls over but manages to get an edge. Still it was doing too much as well and could've gone down leg

59.5 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, shortish googly that time, Misbah punches off the back foot back to the bowler

59.4 - Adil Rashid to Misbah, no run, a googly, fuller and Misbah dead-bats after getting forward

58.5 - Anderson to Misbah, no run, where is the short leg, Cook? If there was one, Misbah would've been walking back. Played that delivery on the ribs very awkwardly, hopped and fended at it, it went at a very catchable height but there was no fielder. Or did Misbah play that deliberately that way, knowing there was no fielder there? One may never know

58.4 - Anderson to Misbah, no run, full and angled in, Misbah gets forward and drives to mid-on, played with a flourish but straight to the fielder

58.3 - Anderson to Misbah, no run, short of length on the stumps, which doesn't rise at all, Misbah has an easy time on the back foot, defending it down to gully

57.5 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, the flatter delivery on off, maybe the skidder, Hafeez defends to short cover

57.4 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, short again, Hafeez cuts but can't beat Samit Patel at cover-point. Didn't place it well

Short and allowed Hafeez to sit on the back foot to pull, Moeen Ali at deep mid-wicket dived to his left after running but the ball beat him. Not a great effort from him, it must be said.

56.1 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, what a good delivery that is. Reverse swinger from Anderson, Hafeez had shouldered arms but covered his off stump while doing so, still the ball curved in dangerously and nearly hit off. Hafeez appreciates the skill of Anderson and has a smile at the bowler. Superb from Anderson

Goes down on his knees and does the Sajda. 9th Test hundred for Hafeez and a very important one at that. Especially if this knock helps his team win the series

55.5 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, yorker length on off, dug out

55.4 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, pushed back to the bowler

55.3 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, ripping leggie! That has exploded off the turf after pitching. Bounced off a length and Hafeez did well not to push out hard at that, the bat went to play at that but the extra bounce took it over the edge. Well held by Bairstow too

55.2 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, "this is madness" says Athers on air. Can't put it any better. Pushed off the front foot just wide of the diving short cover, who got a hand on it and parried it to mid-off. As soon as Hafeez hit that he set off, Misbah looks nonplussed at the other end and sends him back. Had Hafeez gone for it, it could've been suicidal. There was no single there

The ball pitched outside off and darted in wickedly to hit the top of off. Rahat Ali's bat came down at an angle and the ball went under the bottom edge to clip the top of off. Rahat Ali's feet were nowhere and was stuck in lead. Just the bat moved and at an angle as well. Anderson strikes in his opening over. The nighwatchman who can be a nuisance has been removed. Rahat Ali b Anderson 0(12)

54.3 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, down leg, easy ball for Hafeez to get his hundred, but he misses out. The ball rolls off the pad and Bairstow dives to his left to field. The pressure builds on Hafeez

54.2 - Anderson to Hafeez, no run, beauty from Anderson. He beats Hafeez with one that holds its line outside off, Hafeez is expecting the ball to reverse and come back in, but this straightens and beats his nervy push. Anderson has a long stare at the batsman

53.5 - Adil Rashid to Rahat Ali, no run, another googly and Rahat Ali is completely beaten. The bat was nowhere in line with the ball, didn't pick it and is rapped on the pad. Huge appeal for lbw but that looked like sliding down. That's why there was no thought of a review from England. Rahat Ali looked every bit a tailender as he handled the googly very badly

53.4 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, 1 run, pushed back to the bowler who fumbles and allows Hafeez to get off strike

53.3 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, byes, FOUR, hoho! Now a missed stumping chance. Hafeez rushed out to a googly and missed it by a mile, Bairstow too didn't pick the googly and didn't move at all. Missed leg stump by inches and also Bairstow's gloves. That will be a big miss. Lovely bowling by Adil Rashid, saw Hafeez advancing and threw in the shorter googly. Did the batsman in flight and is desperately unlucky that he hasn't got a wicket to show for in this over. Brainfade though from Hafeez

53.2 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, gets forward and defends much more solidly, the ball rolls back down the track

53.1 - Adil Rashid to Hafeez, no run, pitched just outside leg and rapped Hafeez on the pad. Hafeez was late on the forward defence, came lazily forward to defend and the ball drifted in and then went past the bat to strike him low on the pad. Everything went right for Adil Rashid, but that has pitched a fraction outside leg. England went for the review but after numerous replays, Hawk-Eye confirmed where the ball pitched. Beautiful bowling by Adil Rashid too, drift and then beating the inside edge of Hafeez

What do we have here? Given not out for an lbw call. England ponder a review and go for it. Has it pitched outside leg? That's the only way Hafeez could get away from this. England wait patiently. Rashid has a glance at the dressing room. There is no inside edge onto the pad. Waiting for Hawk-Eye now. Struck below the knee-roll - so height won't be an issue here. This is taking too long. The third umpire is still checking for the inside edge onto the pad. Pitching outside leg - so Hafeez will get away. Rashid doesn't look happy. Has a word with umpire Gaffaney

We are all set for the start of the day. The players are out in the middle. Rashid will have the ball first up. Here we go. Hafeez on strike

Meanwhile, out of the blue - Shoaib Malik announced his retirement from Test cricket yesterday, saying that this game will be his last. He scored a magnificent double hundred in the opening game of this series, but has decided that it is time to move on. Wonder if he could've waited till the end of the game to convey his decision. Anyway we move on and are just moments away from the start of day 4. Do stay tuned folks...

He will be England's main hope as they look to bowl Pakistan out to a limitable score. They know that it won't be easy chasing anything over 200 in the fourth innings. The lesser the target in the last innings, the better England's chances of squaring the series. Broad complemented Anderson well and got the important wicket of Younis Khan. The first session today could well decide the outcome of this game.

Day 4: Just when England were thinking of taking a big first innings lead, Pakistan - as they have done on numerous occasions recently - fought back superbly to restrict the lead to a manageable 72. Then Mohammad Hafeez led the way with an attacking 97 which helped Pakistan end the day with a lead of 74. England did take three crucial Pakistan wickets in the second innings and they will be plugging away. Anderson looked very dangerous yesterday consistently reverse-swinging the ball and even bowled a 9-over spell.

Anderson and Broad then generated reverse swing to account for the wickets of Malik and Younis, respectively. Anderson even bowled nine overs in a single spell. Earlier in the day, Malik chipped in with wickets at regular intervals. Rahat Ali and Yasir Shah too picked up crucial scalps to bundle out the opposition ranks. England though, got a vital first innings lead. The match is tantalizingly poised and both teams will look to make the move tomorrow morning. Don't forget to join us back. Until then, take care and Cya!

Stumps, Day 3: The hosts clawed their way back into the game on day 3. It was Mohammad Hafeez, who proved his mettle with a sterling innings. He ended the day just three runs short of notching up his 9th Test ton. After Hafeez was able to overturn a caught behind decision with a review off Anderson's bowling, he checked in a series of eye-catching strokes to keep the innings afloat. Azhar Ali too played his part with a handy knock. However, on the back of a terrible mix-up with Hafeez, Azhar was run-out.

52.6 - Moeen Ali to Rahat Ali, no run, some air but the line is on leg stump, Rahat plays down the wrong line and the ball pings his pad, another appeal and the umpire isn't interested this time either

52.5 - Moeen Ali to Rahat Ali, no run, loud appeal on this one as Ali tossed up one on off, the ball straightened to take Rahat's pad, looked close to the naked eye but England decide against the review. The replays suggest that the impact was umpire's call. So, good decision by Cook to not review that

Loud appeal for LBW. Review? No.

This swirled back in considerably, Younis shouldered his arms and was rapped on the pads, instant appeal, the umpire took some time and gave it out. Reviewed but the decision stayed. Younis Khan lbw b Broad 14(39) [4s-1]

Broad to Younis Khan, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

Review: Younis was given out LBW and he has gone for a review. It was a legal delivery. The impact doesn't matter because Younis didn't offer a shot. The ball would have clipped the off stump and the decision is upheld. OUT.

Root fired in the throw, but it missed the stumps at the bowler's end. Bell then at mid-wicket threw it back towards the bowler, who took the bails off with Azhar finding himself short of the crease.

Which side will manage to take the honours today? Answers coming up in a while as the players make their way out to the middle. Samit to resume proceedings. A slip and silly point in place..

Pakistan made a smart recovery in the second session by cleaning up the visitors' lower-order. Hafeez and Azhar then guided the hosts to tea.

The game is evenly poised and join us in a while for what should turn out to be a riveting final session.

On the basis of replays though, the third umpire decided to give benefit of doubt in favour of the batsman. A close escape for Azhar there

Hafeez has gone for a review. The on-field call was OUT - caught behind by the keeper. The TV replays suggest that he might have missed the ball. The delivery is a legal one. There's no noise as the ball passes the bat and Rameez Raja on air reckons that the batsman should get the benefit of the doubt. Decision changed to NOT OUT.

That brings the curtains down on the Test series. We now move on to the shorter formats between these two sides. The first ODI is being played on November 11. Don't forget to join us back. Before that there is a match being played at Mohali, where India have been bundled out for 201 by the Proteas. Switch tabs and catch all the action. For now, it is goodbye from here!

Misbah: "Finally, we managed to win this. Credit must go to England as well. They didn't go down without giving us a fight. Yasir Shah came back and bowled very well to win us the two games. The fast bowlers delivered throughout the series. Riaz, Imran Khan and even Rahat Ali in this game did a very good job. Hafeez was doing that for us (contributing with bat and ball), Malik can contribute in such conditions. We wish him luck for the future. He was instrumental in us winning the series. I have bought myself some more time. The next series is seven months away, so I have some time to decide about my future."

Cook: "It is a really hard place to come and play. Pakistan have a very good record here. They were very resilient and we didn't grab the half chances. We are very lucky to have Stuart (Broad) and Jimmy (Anderson), but the back up bowlers are also very good. Losing Ben (Stokes) in the game hurt us, we would have loved to have that option. It is a learning curve. We weren't good enough to grab the key moments. I would like to thank the support we have received here."

Yasir: "From being unfit for the first Test to comeback and perform like this, I am very happy. I had planned a lot with Mushtaq (Ahmed) in the nets. Warne had come here and I had a very good session with him. I am working on a few things that he told me."

Yasir Shah is the Man of the Series for taking 15 wickets in the two Tests that he played.

Hafeez: "On such wicket it required that kind of determination. It is pleasing for me to help the team. I haven't seen so much reverse swing in my career. I tried my best to stay in there and see that period off. Bowling was a natural thing for me, but now I concentrate on my batting. We wanted to do well as it means a lot for Pakistan cricket."

Mohammad Hafeez is the Man of the Match for his magnificent 151 in the second innings.

Series Summary:

First Test, Abu Dhabi: The less spoken about this Test, the better. The first four days were a nightmare from a viewing point of view. Runs kept being churned with double hundreds from comeback man Malik and Cook in the first innings. Looked a sure shot draw at stumps on Day 4. But then Pakistan decided to outdo themselves and collapsed in the third innings setting a frenetic run chase of 99 in the final session where England were up against the fading light. In the end, after an hour of swinging, they fell around 25 short.

Second Test, Dubai: Another match which went right down into the final session where even the heroics of Adil Rashid with the bat weren't enough to save the day for the visitors. After fighting back on Day 2 to restrict Pakistan below 400, England were skittled out courtesy a superlative spell of reverse swing bowling from Wahab Riaz. From then on, they were always under pressure and had to bat out nearly 5 sessions to snatch a draw. Yasir Shah ensured it wasn't to be and the Poms fell 39 balls short of achieving the improbable.

Third Test, Sharjah: Alastair Cook lost another toss, something which you just can't do in the sub-continent. But something which is uncontrollable. His bowlers though put in a sterling effort bundling Pakistan out under 250. However, once again the batting failed. Right through the series, it has been the batting faltering at key intervals. From a situation where they could have pressed home the advantage, all they could manage was a lead of 70-odd. A word of note for James Taylor who compiled a well composed half-century to celebrate his return to the playing XI. Pakistan bounced back in the third innings courtesy a sublime 151 from Hafeez. Chasing 284, a Day 5 capitulation ensued with the spinners running riot.

The spin trio of Yasir, Babar and Malik shared 9 wickets in the second innings. Overall, the three spinners scalped 17 sticks in the game. Malik finished his Test career with match figures of 7/59 and he was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan. Misbah was instrumental in getting his field right, the wicket of Broad delighted him the most as he placed a man at square leg just two balls prior to the dismissal. This win takes Pakistan to No. 2 in the Test rankings, while England slip to the sixth spot.

0, 6, 2, 0 and 0 - the scores of England's middle order batsmen. Only five batsmen managed to get to double figures. One of them was Cook, who has had a fantastic series with the bat - finishes as the highest run-getter. None of the batters supported their skipper. Rashid hung around for a while, but he succumbed to the reverse swing of Rahat Ali. Once the lower-order was exposed it was only a matter of time before the Pakistani spinners wrapped up the game.

Malik leads the team out of the ground. Cook and his men wait near the boundary rope to congratulate their counterparts. Some of the Pakistani players have taken a stump each as a souvenir. It was a clinical performance from them. After losing four wickets inside the first hour today, England had their backs against the wall. They needed a miracle or a marathon effort from someone to even draw the game. That didn't happen and they ended up losing the series 2-0.

60.3 - Yasir Shah to Stokes, out Stumped!! All over! Pakistan win the game by 127 runs. They take the series 2-0. With this win, Pakistan jump to No. 2 in the Test rankings. Yasir finishes as the leading wicket-taker - 14 in two Tests that he played. But it was a brave effort from Stokes to come out and bat. He jumps out of the crease, is beaten by the turn, Sarfraz takes it down leg and whips the bails off. Stokes st Sarfraz Ahmed b Yasir Shah 12(12) [4s-1]

Yasir Shah to Stokes, THAT'S OUT!! Stumped!!

59.5 - Shoaib Malik to Cook, out Stumped!! That is the final nail in the coffin. Cook's resistance has been broken.

Third wicket for Malik in this innings and seventh in the match. Not a bad way to finish a Test career. Cook st Sarfraz Ahmed b Shoaib Malik 63(164) [4s-4]

Hello again. Pakistan managed to break the frustrating stand between Rashid and Cook just before lunch. Now, they need three more wickets to win the game. Ben Stokes was padded up, so he will come out to bat, but he will be a walking wicket. The players are ready and so are we. Riaz to start proceedings. He has a slip, gully, leg slip and FSL in place..

Meanwhile at the other end Cook has toiled hard. He hasn't looked in any sort of discomfort when fronting up to the spinners. The England captain has used the sweep, shimmied down and also used the crease to keep the spinners at bay. But the lack of support means his side are on the verge of losing the game. Pakistan will want to finish the game in the next session. Will the lower-order hang around with Cook and push the game further? Join back at 12:35 local to find out...

Lunch, Day 5: It was all Pakistan in the morning session. They are now three wickets away from sealing the game and the series. It was all started by Yasir Shah who got one to keep low and trapped Root in the second over of the day. After that Babar got into his stride, the wily left-arm spinner accounted for James Taylor. Together the spin duo broke England's backbone. Rashid showed some resistance, but Rahat came in and knocked him over.

28.4 - Babar to Samit Patel, out Lbw!! Golden duck for Samit. It was a 50-50 call from umpire Chris Gaffaney. However, England have lost both their reviews. Samit can't believe that he has been given out. The arm-ball first up from Babar, Samit stayed back to defend, missed and is struck in front of leg-stump. The ball would have gone on with the round the wicket angle and missed the leg-stump. But umpire Gaffaney certainly didn't think so. Hawk-Eye shows that it would have clipped leg.

27.6 - Yasir Shah to Bairstow, out Lbw!! Pakistan are all over the England batsmen. Bairstow goes without troubling the scorers. No idea as to why Bairstow challenged that decision. That is as plumb as you would get. Floated up on middle, Bairstow kneels down to play the sweep, he missed it completely and is struck on the back thigh. The impact was in front of middle. Hawk-Eye shows it would have hit off and middle. Poor use of technology from Bairstow. Bairstow lbw b Yasir Shah 0(4)

Yasir Shah to Bairstow, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

Bairstow has been given out LBW. He has reviewed it. A legal delivery from Yasir Shah. No inside edge and Michael Atherton feels, "Bairstow is in trouble." It hit him on the back thigh. Pitched in-line, impact in front of middle and crashing into the stumps. England lose a review and Bairstow walks back.

26.5 - Babar to James Taylor, out Caught by Younis Khan!! Rameez Raja says, "Pakistan in business." But I would say, the Pakistani spinners in business. The start keeps getting better. Babar deserved this wicket as he has kept pegging away from yesterday evening. Slower through the air and bit more bounce, Taylor was coming forward to defend, doesn't account for the bounce, the ball takes the shoulder of the bat and lobs to Younis at slip, sharp reflexes by the veteran to move quickly to his left and pouch it. This is also Babar's 50th Test wicket. James Taylor c Younis Khan b Babar 2(9)

24.1 - Babar to Cook, no run, huge shout for lbw. Babar was almost pleading with umpire Chris Gaffaney. It was very full, Cook kneels down and misses the sweeep, is rapped low on the pads.

James Taylor, right handed bat, comes to the crease

23.4 - Yasir Shah to Root, out Lbw!! That is unlucky. Root has a chat with his skipper about the review, Cook says that it looked out and Root makes the long walk back to the pavilion. This one stayed low and scooted through, Root was back in the crease to defend, is beaten by the lack of bounce and is struck low on the pad. The ball would have crashed into leg-stump. Perfect start for Pakistan. And it might also be the first signs of a varying pitch. Root may have misread the length as well, should have been forward. Root lbw b Yasir Shah 6(29)

Yasir Shah to Root, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

23.3 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, too full and around off, Root squeezes it to cover

23.2 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, floated up outside off, Root lunges forward and eases it to point

23.1 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, faster and on the stumps, Root stays in the crease and knocks it back to Yasir

Not Malik, but Yasir Shah to share the attack with Babar. A slip and FSL in place...

Over: 23 0 2 0 0 0 0 ENG 48/2
Cook 19(65) Root 6(25) Babar 10-2-13-0

22.6 - Babar to Cook, no run, bit more air on this and Cook is forward, wristed to mid-wicket

22.5 - Babar to Cook, no run, flatter and on off, Cook is tight in his back foot defence

22.4 - Babar to Cook, no run, slightly quicker and on off, Cook is happy to stay back and block

22.3 - Babar to Cook, no run, slower and brings Cook forward, turned to the man at FSL

22.2 - Babar to Cook, 2 runs, tossed up on off, Cook kneels down and sweeps it to the right of leg slip, he got it fine and managed to collect two

22.1 - Babar to Cook, no run, straightaway on target, no looseners from Babar, pushed through on off, Cook goes back and across, brings his bat down and keeps it out

Pakistani players are in a huddle. Cook and Root stride out. The first session will be crucial for both sides. If England don't lose more than one wicket, then it would be a satisifying session. Babar to begin proceedings. Over the wicket, slip, leg slip and FSL in place. Here we go...

While England's chances rest on the two unbeaten batsmen, Pakistan's fortunes depend on how Yasir Shah, Babar and Malik bowl. Throughout the Test we have seen finger spinners getting more assistance than wrist spinners. So, will that prompt Misbah to hold back Yasir and give Babar and Malik longer spells? Only time will tell. Also remember that Ben Stokes is injured and will bat only if required. We are all set for a cracking finish. Stay tuned as the first ball isn't far away...

09:30 Local Time, 05:30 GMT, 11:00 IST: As we enter the final day of the Test series, all three results are possible for both the teams. Pakistan hold the edge though as they have set a target of 284 and have managed to pick up two wickets. On a fifth day pitch we three spinners in the side, you have to bet on them winning the game. However, England still have their two best batsmen - Cook and Root at the crease. And we all know how resistive their lower-order can be.

The pitch is aiding Pakistan to the T and they will be all charged up tomorrow, trying to take the series 2-0. Someone from the England camp need to bat out of their skins to force a win or a draw - which looks highly unlikely at this stage. Mind you, England are effectively 3 down with Stokes unlikely to be risked. The two pillars of the England batting are at the crease now and they will be ones that the visitors will be banking their hopes on. All set for a cracking final day. Hope you join us then. Don't forget to follow the other games going on, on the site currently. We will see you tomorrow. You wouldn't want to miss a ball of this Test's conclusion. Until then, it is goodbye from all of us here. Remember to sleep tight though. Sayonara!

The target was always going to be a big ask for the Englishmen and by the end of the day the task has only got massive. Shoaib Malik who had a good first innings with the ball took the two wickets to fall. Moeen Ali was trapped lbw while Bell misread one to be bowled. Babar has bowled to his field and already Pakistan are out of reviews. The ball is pinging the pad repeatedly and that has kept the umpires busy as well. Must say both Oxenford and Gaffaney have been brilliant. That Root appeal for lbw looked plumb but replays proved Gaffaney right. Cook has battled on but has survived a few nervy moments.

That pattern continued throughout the rest of the day but Pakistan too steadily built on the lead. Poor bowling from the spinners played a big part in the lead getting to 283. Rashid was the main culprit and for a lead spinner on a responsive track to bowl so badly reflects poorly on him. He was way too short and offered no control to his skipper. Anderson and Broad tried their best, reversing the ball and plugging away but with no support from the spinners, they flagged. Eventually Pakistan were bowled out, setting England 284 to win.

What a day of Test cricket we've had. Fascinating viewing if you are a true fan of the longest format of the game. The day started with Pakistan three down and there was so much action packed into the opening over. Rashid should've had Hafeez once and maybe twice as first a review was turned down for lbw and then Bairstow missed a simple stumping chance. That set the tone for the day. Hafeez had luck running on his side as numerous chances went his way. England though kept chipping away at the wickets. Just when a partnership started to develop, they would fight back and take a wicket.

Root 6(25) Cook 17(59) Yasir Shah 2-0-4-0

21.6 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, no he can't. Very full on the stumps, Root opens his stance out and pushes it to mid-on. That will be stumps on day 4. Misbah is still not happy with Gaffaney's call against Root, when he ruled it not out for an lbw call. Has word with a smile on his face, expresses his point in a nice and calm manner. Gaffaney too responds with a smile and tries his best to please the Pakistani captain, trying to explain why it was not out

Last ball of the day. Can Yasir Shah do a Warne or a Tendulkar?

21.5 - Yasir Shah to Cook, 1 run, this time gets the flick away to the turning delivery, off the back foot and a single to deep backward square leg

21.4 - Yasir Shah to Cook, no run, sharply turning in leggie, Cook goes back to flick and is hit on the thigh pad. Extra bounce and Cook failed to deal with it

21.3 - Yasir Shah to Cook, no run, tossed up outside off, Cook gets forward and defends towards short cover

After Pakistan lost their second review, Mushy was very angry, nearly flung his cap away. Waqar was comparatively calm

21.2 - Yasir Shah to Root, 1 run, on leg stump, nudged through vacant mid-wicket for a single

19.4 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, tossed up outside off, Root pushes it to short cover

19.3 - Yasir Shah to Root, no run, another loud appeal for lbw, but that may have pitched outside leg and also definitely going down. Yes pitched outside and missing leg as Hawk-Eye confirms. Root late on the forward defence as he got into a tangle

19.2 - Yasir Shah to Cook, 1 run, short on the stumps, Cook rocks back to pull to deep mid-wicket

19.1 - Yasir Shah to Cook, no run, very full on off, kept out by Cook

18.6 - Babar to Root, no run, this one turned and Root did well to negotiate that off the back foot

18.5 - Babar to Root, no run, pushed off the front foot to short cover

18.4 - Babar to Root, no run, forward defence

18.3 - Babar to Root, no run, that was a good delivery, angled in and struck Root on the pad after the batsman missed the forward defence, struck in-line but just clipping leg. Babar after all that theatrical appealing felt shocked that it wasn't given out. Sarfraz was the one who convinced Misbah to go for it. There was no inside edge onto the pad. If there was one, would've been out caught at slip. Hawk-Eye shows it to be umpire's call on impact. What a good decision that is from Gaffaney. I for sure felt it was crashing into the stumps. Pakistan don't have any reviews left

Look at that appeal from Babar. He is doing all sorts of things to catch Gaffaney's reactions. Does a circular motion with his hand on one knee and that is theatrical. Also priceless reaction when given not out. Someone shouts in Urdu - "le lo, le lo" which translates to take the review. Misbah goes for it, probably sympathising with Babar's reaction. No inside edge onto the pad. Even if there was one, it was caught at slip. Hawk-Eye in and it is just clipping leg. So no more reviews left for Pakistan. Misbah is disappointed and sips on water to cool himself down

18.2 - Babar to Root, no run, pushed off the front foot to short cover

16.5 - Babar to Root, 1 run, skidder on the stumps, Root uses the depth of the crease to nudge a single wide of mid-on. Gets to the other end

16.4 - Babar to Root, no run, and again, confidently done

16.3 - Babar to Root, no run, on off stump, Root is forward and defending

15.5 - Shoaib Malik to Root, no run, that is risky, Root comes down the track and then is unsure whether to kick or defend, decides to kick it away and there is an appeal from the Pakistanis. Can't give that out when you are so far down the track

15.4 - Shoaib Malik to Root, no run, pushed back to the bowler and a needless shy from Shoaib Malik, very nearly gave away overthrows

15.3 - Shoaib Malik to Cook, 1 run, skidder and Cook flicks off the back foot to deep backward square leg for a single

13.6 - Shoaib Malik to Bell, out Bowled!! Brilliant from Shoaib Malik. He is pumped. What a way to end your Test career. This goes on with the angle, pitches middle and rips away, beats Bell's back foot defence and crashes into off. It was nicely tossed up as well, which meant that Bell didn't pick whether to come forward or go back, stayed back and heard the death rattle. Was completely bamboozled by that piece of bowling from Shoaib Malik. Bell b Shoaib Malik 0(6)

Shoaib Malik to Bell, THAT'S OUT!! Bowled!!

13.5 - Shoaib Malik to Bell, no run, much more solid from Bell, bat in front of the pad before blocking

12.4 - Babar to Cook, no run, flat and quick, Cook goes back to keep it out

12.3 - Babar to Cook, no run, on the stumps, Cook defends

12.2 - Babar to Cook, no run, Cook wants to get rid of the close-in fielders, takes on Babar and misses the sweep. Impact in-line but just clipping off. The umpire's call was not out so Cook got away there, Pakistan now lose a review. Wahab Riaz and Misbah have a word with Gaffaney. Riaz shows the ball to the umpire and jokes what the fuss is all about, perhaps referring to the clipping part. Gets no response from Gaffaney

Another appeal for lbw, not given. Babar likes it, has a chat with Misbah and up they go for a review. Don't think Cook got outside the line of off. But has the ball straightened enough to clip off. Remember the original decision is not out. So impact has to be in-line and also hitting flush. Pakistan now wait agonisingly. Cook is stoic. It straightened but not enough and it is umpire's call. So Cook will stay

12.1 - Babar to Cook, no run, Cook isn't fully forward to that one, but manages to defend that back to the bowler

11.6 - Shoaib Malik to Moeen Ali, out Lbw!! The skidder from Shoaib Malik does the trick. He carefully plotted this dismissal. Kept tossing it up and then pushed this through, Moeen Ali should've been forward, didn't, went back and missed it. Struck below the kneeroll and in line with leg stump. The ball straightened a tad too and would've hit leg stump. Hawk-Eye confirms the same. England lose a review as well. Moeen Ali lbw b Shoaib Malik 22(43) [4s-2]

Shoaib Malik to Moeen Ali, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

Mo has been given out lbw. He checks with Cook and goes for a review. No problems with the front foot. We move on. No inside edge onto the pad. Height not an issue. Struck below the kneeroll. Waiting for Hawk-Eye now. Agonising wait for Moeen Ali as Cook sips on some drinks. Still confirming whether there was an inside edge onto the pad. Just needs to be clipping for it to be out. Hitting flush on leg stump. Moeen Ali is gone!

11.5 - Shoaib Malik to Moeen Ali, no run, slight spin for Shoaib Malik, on the stumps, Moeen Ali defends well though, the ball rolls to backward point

Slight delay as Moeen Ali is being given medical attention. They are checking if he is concussed which doesn't seem the case. He sips on some water and now extra padding brought in to protect the back of the head. The padding is getting strapped onto the helmet. It is a clip-on thing. Moeen Ali is ready to go again after a 5-minute break and that is good to see. Reassuring sight!

1.4 - Riaz to Moeen Ali, no run, that's a sickening blow! But thankfully Moeen Ali is alright! He is up on his feet and asks for help. The physio is out there. Pakistanis are concerned but Moeen assures them that everything is fine. Cook too rushes up to his partner to check on him. Ducked under the short delivery and turned his head around, offered the back of his head, the ball hit the helmet just missing the back of the neck - near the exact spot where Phil Hughes was tragically and fatally struck. Bad technique shown by Moeen Ali as he turned his head and offered the back of his neck to the ball. Also when he got hit, he went down for a mini second, holding his hand to his head and that looked worrying, but got up immediately to recover his composure
