  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 41.4 overs

    Wahab c Buttler b Willey 5 (Pak 163-8)

    A big heave from Wahab in traditional tail-ender style, he gets a top edge and the ball sails into the Abu Dhabi night sky for keeper Buttler to take a simple catch. Three wickets for David Willey - time for him to grab a five-for?

  2. Pak 163-7published at 41.3 overs

    Sarfraz guides Willey through mid-wicket for four, centurion Alex Hales pulls out the full-length swimming-pool-style dive but can't reach the ball - though he may have a man-of-the-match award coming his way.

    "It's an astonishing turnaround. England were so limp two days ago - on the same pitch with the same players. Today they have been near enough flawless, full of energy, and completely outplayed Pakistan - as much as Pakistan completely outplayed England."

  4. Pak 158-7 (target 284)published at 41 overs

    Sarfraz has his eye on a half-century here, a single brings up the landmark from 63 balls. Wahab is happy to sweep, nudge and nurdle his way around to rotate the strike.

    "The 150 comes unnoticed apart from a smattering of applause. I wouldn't say it's highly charged at the moment..."

  6. Pak 152-7 (Sarfraz 48, Wahab 1)published at 40 overs

    Captain Morgan certainly won't be having kittens as Sarfraz and Wahab can only smear the occasional one and two off Willey's bowling - he may even be purring at England's display. We're into the last 10 overs with England's fielders on the prowl, ready to spring, panther-like onto any stray ball. 132 needed from the last 60 balls.

  8. Pak 146-7 (target 284)published at 39 overs

    Wahab Riaz joins Sarfraz at the crease, the keeper adds a single and Pakistan need an unlikely 138 from 11 overs. Unlikely, unless they can smuggle AB de Villiers out to the middle, on stilts and wearing a Mohammad Irfan mask.

    "Woakes had to swerve to avoid the cat. And he then took the catch two balls later. Doubly good effort."

    Anwar c Woakes b Moeen 23 (Pak 145-7)

    Well, Chris Woakes isn't put off by the cat - if anything, Anwar may have been spooked by the impromptu feline invasion as he tries another big heave over long-on and Woakes pouches the catch. Meow.

    "What on earth was that? A brown cat - he almost got tangled up with the fielder. Apart from one or two of Hales' sixes and Roy's reverse sweep, that was the most exciting thing to happen for the last six hours."

  12. Pak 145-6published at 38.2 overs

    There's a black cat on the field! Will this bring Pakistan some much-needed luck? And then a brown cat scampers on, almost getting in the way of an England fielder as Anwar hits a six wide of long-on.

    "They are so far behind the rate and lost so many wickets that Sarfraz can enjoy himself and see what happens."

  14. drinks break

    Pak 139-6

    Anwat heaves across the line, they're still progressing in singles, and this really is a "proper" drinks break this time. The last one must have just been one of those "unofficial" breaks who do much to slow up over-rates in international cricket. From here, Pakistan need 145 from 72 balls.

  16. Pak 137-6published at 37.3 overs

    Change of bowler, same action as the fair-haired left-arm seamer David Willey replaces the brooding dark locks of fellow left-arm seamer Reece Topley. Both of them are changing counties this winter, Willey leaving Northants for Yorkshire while Topley swaps Essex for Hampshire.

    With the required rate up above 11.5, Sarfraz and Anwar can only manage a single apiece off the first half of the over.

    "We thought is might be slower and lower today than on Wednesday and it might favour the spinners, but it has been seam bowling which has won the day."

  18. Pak 135-6 (Sarfraz 40, Anwar 15)published at 37 overs

    Quite a quick drinks break, the players look like they've accepted that they want to get this game over and done with. Sarfraz is still looking to play the big shots, smacking Moeen for a two to deep mid-wicket. That's the fifty stand from these two. A couple of wides advance the score, while a scampered two leg byes leave Pakistan needing 149 from 78 balls.

  20. drinks break

    Drinks breakpublished at 36 overs

    Pak 125-6

    Still Topley, into his eighth over, now operating round the wicket, and a wild throw from Captain Morgan gifts Pakistan an overthrow. A back-of-the-hand slower ball is bunted to third man for a single by Anwar, while Sarfraz steps across but can't connect with a sweep shot so it's just two from the over. Drinks, as we prepare for the home straight of this game.
