  1. Pak 458-8published at 14:20 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Lead by 130

    Broad just doesn't know where to bowl to Younus. This time it's full and wide - and Younus drives with poise and power through cover. That scorched the turf. Broad has his hands in his hair and a frown etched across his face. A bouncer and dot ball off the last delivery at least means Amir will be on strike next over.

    In terms of teams winning consecutive Tests after conceding a lead of more than 100... I can't find any. If England were to win here it would be a first.

  3. Pak 452-8published at 14:16 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Lead by 124

    Younus playing by numbers at the moment, but he's in such control that he can almost do as he chooses. Cut, block, sweep, block, reverse-sweep - it only adds up to one run.

    It's going to be a lot trickier for England on this pitch than it was a week ago. I wonder if a team has ever had a first-innings deficit of 100 runs in two successive Tests, and won them both? You wouldn't want it to happen every week - maybe once a year or so.

  5. Pak 451-8published at 14:12 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Broad 28-5-93-1

    Broad, his hair slicked back like a 1950s Broadway character, targeting Younus' pads. There's swing back in to the right-hander, and as half-hearted appeal for lbw as you're likely to see from Broad. Not even close. Amir is solid as he negotiates the final two deliveries.

    To put it in Cockney rhyming slang. I am not so George Bernard England can win from here. They've got right up in England's boat and I can't Adam and Eve the dropped catches. It's looking like England will have to get their weasel and stoats.

    Lead by 122

    Wonderful from the old-timer, absolutely wonderful. Younus reverse-sweeps Moeen through the vacant third-man region, and follows it up by dancing down the track and drilling him back over his head and into the stand. A biggie. Eleven off the over.

    Younus 165, Amir 0

    Mohammad Amir is the new man - is this the cue for Younus to press the accelerator? It seems so, judging by a streaky drive off Broad which whistles past the solitary slip for four more. The field spreads for the centurion, then descends on the left-handed Amir for the final two balls of the over. He does his job, though.

    Stoney: More like a run-out than a stumping. Bairstow threw down the stumps. He's not a particularly great keeper.

    Wahab st Bairstow b Moeen 4 (Pak 434-8)

    Gone! And it's stumped, although Bairstow shouldn't really be taking any credit for that. Wahab shuffles down the pitch, misses with a forward defensive and Bairstow fails to catch the ball, which cannons off his pads and back on to the stumps. A stroke of fortune for England as Moeen breaks through with his fourth ball.

    Maybe Wahab was thinking Bairstow took the bails off with his gloves.

    Pak 434-7

    It's all happening. Moeen has bowled Wahab - or is that stumped? Confusion all round as the umpire calls for the TV replays.

    The reaction of Alastair Cook showed that it must have carried. It's exactly where you'd expect the catch to come from when Moeen Ali is bowling.

    Oh no! Another one goes down. Moeen Ali into the attack, draws Wahab forward, finds the edge... and Alastair Cook drops a sitter at slip.

    It's looking very promising for Pakistan. They should at least get a 125-run lead from here if not 150. It all depends on Younus. If he gets a double, England will be in all sorts of problems. 

  17. Pak 432-7published at 13:55 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Lead by 104

    Broad continues with some short stuff. Younus responds with a pull for four, albeit courtesy of an edge high on the bat. Moeen Ali at fine leg gets a rocket from a petulant Broad. England getting ratty.

    Younus has 12 scores over 150 in Test cricket, the most for Pakistan. Javed Miandad is second with 10.

  19. Pak 428-7published at 13:51 British Summer Time 13 August 2016

    Lead by 100

    Who'd have thought it?! Root almost bowls Younus with a yorker! Full, floaty, Younus just about digs it out. Ooh and aahs all round. Not one ball the same in that over. The lead is now worth 100. When do England go past the point of no return?

    That's what great players do - they have a quiet time, then they get the movement and the timing back and make it count. That's why his average is so high - generally, when he gets to 50, he goes on and makes a hundred.
