OUT! SHAH HAS BEEN GIVEN LBW! He reviews it! That looked very close. Will come down to the umpire's call we think so. NO BAT INVOLVED! IT IS THREE REDS! WOW! England have done it. The stubborn final wicket is scalped. This is full and on middle, an arm ball. Shah gets on the front foot as he looks to defend but gets beaten on the inside edge and hits on the pads. An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Naseem Shah reviews but to no avail as three reds it shows. ENGLAND WIN BY 74 RUNS.

OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Haris Rauf will take it upstairs. No bat there. Is it just sliding down though? Umpire's call it is. England won't mind it. They are nearing to the victory. James Anderson is showing his class all over again. What a champion of a bowler. He serves it on a length and tailing on leg. Rauf misses his flick. It looked like it will go down but the on-field decision is with England and it is enough for them to take the 9th wicket.
On a length and on middle. Rauf blocks it out.

Yet again the reverse swing doing the job, the ploy not to take the second new ball is working. This is going to be really tough for the bowling all-rounders now.

How has that missed the stumps? That was inches away from the off pole. WOW! A yorker, this one swings around off. Shah tries to drive but gets beaten on the inside edge. The ball just lands few inches away from the base of the off pole and goes to the keeper. UltraEdge later shows it did hit the stumps but the bails stayed intact.
OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW but nothing from the umpire. ENGLAND REVIEW IT. Desperate times for England. This is the stand they want to break. Pad first clearly. THREE REDS! Agha Salman is out. The 61-run stand is broken and England now are into the bowlers. A big moment in the game. This one is on a length and outside off, it lands and nips back in sharply. Salman stays back and tries to dab to third man with an angled bat but puts his front foot across. The ball pings the pad first. UltraEdge confirms it is pad first. Three reds are shown and England are absolute delight.

THE FINGER IS RAISED! Agha Salman has been given out LBW but he reviews. Is it too high or is it clipping the bails? Big moment in the game! NOT OUT! It is going over! England can't believe it! The crowd here is going bonkers! Agha Salman survives to fight yet another day. The last recognized pair continues to battle. This is tossed up on middle, Salman looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the body. An appeal and the finger is raised. Stokes really can't believe this is going over especially on this wicket which is slow and low.

Shakeel could have left it but it is the length that makes him play the stroke. It is just behind a driving length. Shakeel stretches for it, it goes uppishly and to the right of a very short cover. Keaton Jennings, the sub, dives to his right and takes it brilliantly. England now 5 wickets away.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Anderson gets another one! This guy is an absolute legend, irrespective on the conditions, just manages to find the breakthroughs for his side.

Rizwan has a poke at it away from the body. He also plays it with an angled bat. It goes off the outside edge and it goes into the hands of the keeper. He maybe could have left that delivery but that is how Rizwan plays, he likes feeling bat on ball and that proves to be his downfall.

A LOUD APPEAL FOR CAUGHT BUT TURNED DOWN! Rizwan wants it to be reviewed and it is. Crawley indicates it has hit his shoulder. OUT!

He falls shortly after getting to his half ton. Down the leg side, short. Crawley looks to pull, this seems to have taken the glove and Rizwan takes it.

THE FINGER IS RAISED! Azhar Ali has been given out LBW but he reviews. Seems no bat but is it going down leg or is it clipping the leg pole? OUT! None of the two mentioned above, IT IS HITTING THE LEG POLE! THREE REDS! The second new ball has done the trick and England have their third in the session. This is a big wicket. Leach bowls it quicker and slightly shorter on middle, Azhar Ali goes back to flick but since, the ball is new, it skids through. Ali is late in getting his bat down and is hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger goes up. Can England take another one before Lunch? Pakistan still trail by over 350.
