OUT! Caught. Sam Curran to Shadab Khan. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Jennings. Sam Curran gets his maiden Test wicket to finish off Pakistan. Not the prettiest, but he will take it. Shadab clears the front leg, looking to pump him over cow corner. A miscue off the inner half of the bat, and it is hacked out to the fielder in the deep, who holds on with ease.
After losing the toss, England will be delighted. Some hard work needed with the bat to back up their efforts, but they are in the driving seat at the moment. Tough for Pakistan in the morning, but a few loose shots this afternoon hasn't helped their cause. They require a reply with the ball. See what England can muster up after the tea break.

APPEAL! Stuart Broad to Mohammad Abbas. Length ball, outside off stump no foot movement defending, hit pad to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Bairstow, appeal made for L.B.W. Half hearted appeal from England. Abbas struck on the back leg, and it was clearly outside the line of off stump.

FOUR! Chris Woakes to Shadab Khan. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. That's a super fifty from Shadab. Brings it up in style. Latches onto the shorter one, and clobbers through mid wicket for four.

OUT! Caught & Bowled. Chris Woakes to Hasan Ali. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, leading edge back to bowler, by Woakes. Finally England's torment is ended. Hasan Ali tries to whip through the legside, but closes the bat face too early, and it pops back to Woakes off the leading edge. An entertaining knock, which has salvaged some pride for the visitors.

OUT! Caught. Hasan Ali to James Anderson. Length ball, off stump moves in front defending, outside edge to first slip, by Sohail.
Exactly what Pakistan wanted. They keep Anderson on strike and bowl into the channel to get him fishing. Genuine edge straight to first slip and Haris does the rest.
England finish on 363 after some lusty blows from Buttler this morning, he was also the only batsmen to get past fifty after plenty of starts. With a healthy lead of 189 England are firmly in the driving seat and conditions look very nice for bowling. Anderson and Broad could do some damage with the new ball against a top-order which is lacking in confidence.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to James Anderson. Full toss, outside off stump moves in front Steer, well timed past deep point for 4 runs. Guided to the rope. The timing from Anderson is outstanding but he will be disappointed not to have found the fielder for a single.
FOUR! Faheem Ashraf to Jos Buttler. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. Close to the perfect yorker but Buttler is too good. He has gone deeper into the crease and eased the ball through the gap. Brilliant batting.
SIX! Faheem Ashraf to Jos Buttler. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Absolutely hammered into the rugby ground. Buttler could not have asked for a better delivery to smack away.
FOUR! Faheem Ashraf to Jos Buttler. Length ball, to leg backing away Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep square leg for 4 runs, mis-fielded by Salahuddin. Hacked into the deep and perilously close to the fielder who was running in. Buttler gets away with it this time.

OUT! Caught. Faheem Ashraf to Stuart Broad. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air under control to fine leg, by Abbas. Broad falls to another short ball with the trap set, but this was a stunning grab out in the deep. It was hit pretty firmly but Broad couldn't manage to find the gap or the elevation to go over Mohammad Abbas.
Hasan Ali to Jos Buttler. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on for no runs, fielded by Abbas.
FOUR! Hasan Ali to Jos Buttler. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Even better through the offside. The crowd could be in for a treat if Buttler stays there for a while.

SIX! Mohammad Abbas to Jos Buttler. Short, outside off stump down the track pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled over fine leg for 6 runs. Fifty up with a six.

FOUR! Mohammad Abbas to Jos Buttler. Length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Firmly struck through extra cover. The momentum Buttler is creating by walking down is also helping him to find different angles in the field.

England complete a comprehensive comeback as they demolish Pakistan inside three days by an innings and 55 runs. The series ends 1-1 with both teams sharing the trophy.
England were by far the better team in this match with the bowlers doing the damage in both innings before all of the batsmen chipped in and contributed with the bat. Dom Bess and Sam Curran both enjoyed good days out with bat and ball with maiden wickets for both and Bess finishing with 3-33. That is a big positive for England and Pakistan's young team also played some superb cricket throughout the series as they look to the future.

APPEAL! Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Stuart Broad to Hasan Ali. Length ball, off stump backing away Slog, hit pad to for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. Not the greatest review from England. Sliding way down the legside with all three stumps visible when the ball hit the pad.
