    If you look at Ben Stokes's dismissal, it tells you the story of the team. Confused.

    Stokes knew from the moment the ball hit his pad. His eyes dropped to the floor and the shoulders slumped.

    Now that sums up England's desperate play.

    It's not quite the end for England but it is a desperate struggle.

    There are stunned expressions in the stands. No-one can understand that, whether in the crowd or the commentary box.

    Somewhere in Australia, a Mr N Lyon has perked up.

    Jamie Smith is out there and England still trail.

    Well I don't know what Ben Stokes was thinking if I'm being honest.

    WICKET

    Stokes lbw b Noman 3 (Eng 70-5)

    What on earth? Ben Stokes looks like a man whose head is entirely scrambled against spin.

    He has shouldered arms to a straight ball on the stumps from Noman Ali.

    He doesn't even review and walks off with his glove over his eyes.

    A hideous dismissal.

    After being forced to clearly defend his stumps by Sajid Khan, Stokes gets off the mark off at the seventh time of asking off the back foot.

  8. India set 359 to beat NZ and avoid series loss

    The game in Rawalpindi has moved along at quite some pace - and it is no different in Pune.

    India are battling to maintain their proud 12-year unbeaten run in home Test series as they face New Zealand.

    To do so they will need something special after being set 359 to win by the Black Caps.

    Tom Latham's side have been bowled out for 255 on day three, with Glenn Phillips hitting an unbeaten 48 after the skipper's 86 yesterday.

    Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin took the wickets this morning and now it is over to the batters.

    They've made a quick start, racing to 15-0 in just the second over.

    I doubt I need to remind you of Ben Stokes' recent struggles with the bat, particularly against spin.

    He's come out smiling and defends his first two deliveries.

    Not the ideal start to the day but you could just tell.

    The frustrating thing is they've gotten through the hard bit, that partnership was really starting to pick up.

  11. Jonathan Agnew

    England lose another. Harry Brook was looking for trouble with that shot.

    WICKET

    Brook c Rizwan b Noman 26 (Eng 66-4)

    It was all going so well for England but Pakistan are celebrating now!

    It's superb from Noman Ali. One looped slow and the next fired quicker. Harry Brook doesn't pick the difference and nicks an edge trying to cut close to his body.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Yesterday, the ball turned very slowly. The ones that have turned today have turned quite sharply, it looks easier it play on.

    Malcolm has either had very little sleep after last night's football or has had a great night celebrating.

    What number is Ryan Yates due in? He’s the man for this job.

    Joe Root reinforces that fact by playing his first attacking stroke, having got himself in over the first half an hour. It's a reverse sweep to left-armer Noman Ali that brings Root four.

  17. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer in Rawalpindi

    I've written down a word in my notebook and underlined it. "Tempo". England didn't have it right in the first innings, going too hard to be 118-6. Then they got stuck last night, perhaps understandably after a long day in the field. Rabbits in the Noman-Sajid headlights to be 20-3. This morning the tempo feels just right. So far.

    Harry Brook is timing the ball well through the off-side.

    You can tell the level of tension isn't as high as last night because the TV pictures are showing their tourist shots of the local area.

  19. Eng 48-3

    The temptation to tempt fate when Joe Root is looking comfortable to Noman Ali is real.

    Sajid Khan is glaring after a superb over to Harry Brook that could have had his wicket two or three times.

    The Pakistan fielders groan when Brook comes down the pitch and has to quickly adjust in defence and do so again when the last delivery is missed outside off stump.
