    35.5 but gone this time! Rashid holds his nerve, gives it a bit of air again, Azhar keen to press on, goes for a big slog sweep from outside off, gets a fat top edge which loops to Moeen at short third man 178/4
    5.1 gone this time! Wood strikes on his return. A short ball, 91mph, angled across outside off, he goes for the pull, the ball is on him quickly, and takes the top edge. Well, Sharjeel has called the review here. There is mark on Snicko. He's gone. Wasted review, really 25/1
    12.2 top edge, and caught at deep square leg! Another in and out for Hafeez. Goes for the sweep, isn't able to keep it down, Hales manages to gather this one in the deep but doesn't celebrate much. Relief, perhaps. 52/2
    23.6 what a riposte from Rashid! A faster, flatter googly, strikes the pad, via a slender slice of inside-edge, but there there's no recourse for Babar after Shajeel's daft review earlier in the innings. He has to go! 113/3
    44.3 and another catch for mid-off! That's a big blow for Pakistan. A full delivery, Sarfraz just moved to the leg side to try and open up the off but couldn't get underneath the ball enough and provided a simple catch. Think Woakes may have rolled his fingers over that one 226/6
    43.5 that's pretty simple...full ball on off stump, Malik goes for the drive and just spoons a catch to mid-off who barely had to move 224/5

    18.4 has he given it away, yes he has! Coming down the pitch again, tries to clear the straight boundary, gets a bit too far underneath it but it still almost clear the rope yet Babar Azam takes a superbly-judged catch running around the rope. 116/2
    4.3 beautiful bowling! Outside off, feinting back to graze Hales' edge as he opened the face in a bid to steer the ball through third man, but the ball was too close and took control of his intentions. A fine stooping take at a solitary slip and Pakistan strike early! 27/1
    27.5 he's gone with a direct hit! Huge wicket for Pakistan. Was dropped to the off side by Morgan, it was he who called the run, Root responded but it was a poor piece of judgement from the skipper, and Root is well short as Azhar hit the stumps coming in from cover. Is that the inspiration for Pakistan? 158/3
