Eng 204-9
Yasir Shah is off, running and diving to the ground in celebration. He has 10 wickets in the match, just like the man he has just removed - his first Test 10-fer. Jake Ball is the new and final batsman.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was beautiful bowling. He could see Woakes wasn't looking to take the single. He tossed it right up, pretty wide of off-stump. He really tossed it up. It was beautifully thought out and executed.

Woakes c Younus b Yasir 23 (Eng 204-9)
That has to be the ball game. Chris Woakes goes, driving at a flighted ball from Yasir Shah, getting a thick edge to slip, where Younus Khan clings on. Woakes departs and with him, you feel, so do England's hopes.

Shot! Steven Finn clips Mohammad Amir to the square-leg boundary, drawing the sort of applause usually reserved for a triple century. I'm told there's currently a Duel in the Gloom taking place in the final round of the Open. This is cricket Duel in the Sun. Incredible stuff.

Tom McCarron: If the top order turned up today we'd be in with a shout of this test. Middle order did their job. Openers, where were you?
Mansoor Ayub: I need to watch Test cricket more often. Thrilling stuff.
Sam Harris: And they say Test cricket is a dying format! I'm a bag of nerves right.

Just switching on? Where have you been? These were the two wickets that swung this match, probably for the last time.

What does Woakes do here? Play some shots? He's also got to protect Finn - maybe figuring out if he'd rather then big man face Yasir or Amir. In-out field for the leggie, Sarfraz Ahmed's motormouth on repeat. Woakes almost edges to slip in his hunt for a single, then cuts the final ball for four to bring up the 200. Still, Finn must face Amir.

The Finn lbw also pitched outside leg stump. Not the greatest decision that Kumar Dharmasena has ever made. When Finn gets in behind a forward defence, the cheers can be heard in Peckham. Alastair Cook has a hand over his face. Come on, skipper. If we have to watch, then so do you.

Massive, massive cheers. The tiniest tickle of willow on leather has saved Steven Finn. What more can this incredible game of cricket throw at us?

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialI don't think he's nicked it. The only saving factor can be if it's pitched outside.

BBC Test Match SpecialI don't think there is any salvation there for Finn. I think the review is the sort of desperate last hope.

Steven Finn simply has to review this. Lbw first ball. Is Mohammad Amir going to finish this match with a hat-trick?

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialBroad is not the force he was unfortunately. Not sure what is going on in the dressing room. He played some marvelous little cameos before he got hit on the nose. But once you start to fear the short ball, it's in the back of your head, I'm sorry for him, sad for him. Unless he gets through that he won't be the force in Test match cricket.
