Summary

  1. Eng 238-6published at 50 overs

    Smiith 11, Carse 2

    In Brydon Carse, Jamie Smith has a batting partner with two first-class centuries. He can bat but I am not sure how many pitches like this he'll have seen at Chester-le-Street.

  2. Eng 237-6published at 49.3 overs

    Good from Jamie Smith who smashes a rare bad ball from Sajid Khan - one that maybe slipped out of the fingers - for four.

    England desperately need a lead, given they have to bat last on this pitch.

    Here's some sort of relief for England as Jamie Smith gets four through the gully off left-arm spinner Noman Ali. That's the first boundary for four overs but it feels longer.

    11 minutes remain in the day.

    Do you think Sajid Khan is pumped up?

    Jamie Smith covers it well. For a young man, he looks very confident.

    We knew this pitch would deteriorate. It had to.

    There has been more than a degree more turn since tea than before it.

    The pitch has been a lot more difficult to play in the last hour.

    Trail by 140

    Jamie Smith has done a lot well in his early Test career but he hasn't faced pressure and conditions like this as the Multan light fades.

    England's young wicketkeeper almost chips one back and then is beaten by a ripping delivery from Noman Ali.

    Even the fielding has improved from Pakistan now. The sprawling Zahid Mahmood at mid-off denies Jamie Smith a boundary and keeps the spotlight glaring into England's eyes.

    You don't need me to paint this picture. It's already in your mind's eye.

    The ball is turning for Pakistan's spinners. There is chirp all around the bat from a crowd of close catchers.

    England's batters suddenly look vulnerable.

    It's a good catch taken at short leg. Ben Stokes will not be happy with himself, it's a soft dismissal.

    England have lost four wickets in such a quick time.

    England are crumbling! They have lost four in 18 balls now and this one is the captain Ben Stokes.

    He's tentative, poking at a spinning ball from left-arm spinner Noman Ali. The ball takes the inside edge and loops off the pad to short leg.

    England are in a bit of trouble. They've lost two big batters in that over.

    Jamie Smith comes to the crease and he needs to try and get England out of trouble.

    England need a partnership from these two.

    Sajid Khan has taken three wickets for six runs in his past 10 balls.

    England are still 141 runs behind.

    Two in the over! Pakistan believe.

    Harry Brook rocks onto the back foot but this ball from Sajid Khan turns and keeps a little low to hit his leg stump.

    That's Sajid Khan's fourth wicket. He's running away punching the air in celebration.
