    England cannot believe these chances are not falling to hand. It was in the air for quite a while from the bat of Sajid Khan there.

  2. Pak 214-8

    Lead by 289

    Oh dear. What's happened there?

    Sajid Khan skies one and Shoaib Bashir surely has a chance to get under it at fine leg.

    He thinks otherwise and lets the ball bounce rather than put in a dive.

    Matthew Potts won't be pleased with that and he's even less pleased when Salman Al Agha smokes the next ball through extra cover for four.

    Time for drinks.

    It took an absolute age for Kumar Dharmasena's finger to go up, but there was absolutely bat involved there.

  4. Not out

    Pak 209-8

    Unfortunately for England, this is not one of those times.

    Sajid Khan got a scratch on it and the decision is overturned.

    Still England can't break this partnership.

  5. Pakistan review

    Pak 209-8

    Thanks, Matt.

    Sometimes it just takes a change to bring a wicket...

    Full toss from Matthew Potts and it hits Sajid Khan on the knee roll.

    The finger goes up but he quickly reviews.

  6. Matthew Potts is back and so is Sam Drury...

  7. Pak 208-8

    Lead by 283

    A ball from Shoaib Bashir just rolls along the pitch - a delivery to send a shudder down England's spines.

    You can't chase 300 on this surface.

    Sajid Khan is not holding himself back here, but that was a great effort from Ben Duckett. He was running towards the rope and that's why he has no balance, but he's thrown it back and done it fantastically well.

    A dropped catch or five runs saved?

    Ben Duckett takes a running catch on the boundary but can't keep himself inside the rope and has to toss the ball back inside.

    This approach from Pakistan’s lower order is exactly why ‘Bazball’ is the way forward. Quick runs on a tricky pitch, the opposition rattled. The chase is going to be fun whatever the result.

    Lead by 281

    Even if England do get out there soon, this partnership has ensured they will do so without the momentum they threatened to gain.

    Three runs come from this over.

    This brilliant partnership between Salman Ali Agha and Sajid Khan has made Pakistan favourites.

    The way their spinners bowled in the first innings, this game is now Pakistan's to lose.

  13. The consensus is that England are up against it, but Winviz reckons they'd win this one in three times... not bad odds really.

    Lead by 278

    Pakistan's lead was 231 when these two came together.

    Salman has scored 30 runs from his last 19 balls. Vital.

    Salman Ali Agha was dropped twice in three balls on 4 and 6. But he's played some imposing shots since and these are very useful runs for Pakistan.

  17. 6 runs

    50 for Salman Ali Agha

    A crucial and potentially match-sealing hand from Salman Ali Agha. He gets to his 12th 50+ score with a six as well after England bring the field up.

    After being dropped on four and six, he has punished England.

    Umpire Chris Gaffaney is having a conversation with Sajid Khan. If it's their third warning, they will get a five-run penalty, but I don't think he applied it there.

  19. Pak 188-8

    Pakistan have already have two warnings for running down the pitch while batting. One more and there will be a five run penalty.

    Sajid Khan does exactly that again here and the umpire has a word but not an penalty as far as I can tell.

  20. Pak 185-8

    Lead by 260

    Sajid Khan is batting without a bat sponsor.

    He's box office. That won't last.
