    Target 40

    A quadruple wicket maiden sounds like something a surgeon might perform. Brilliant stuff from Anya Shrubsole. How England could do with some of that at The Oval. We are back out for the final session, which I think will be a very short one. Moeen to bowl.

    England vice-captain Anya Shrubsole has just bowled, get this, a quadruple wicket maiden in the Super League.

    Her Western Storm side have bowled Yorkshire Diamonds out for 118.

    In the earlier game, Loughborough Lightning need 157 to beat Southern Vipers in the top-of-the-table game - they're 29-2 in the sixth over.

  4. Afternoon session reviewpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 14 August 2016

    There are times when you can play a reverse-sweep. Indeed, in the modern game, it's very much encouraged - although not when you're effectively 7-8. But that's what Stuart Broad tried off Yasir Shah, forgetting that there was a slip in place (or leg slip as it turned out). Yasir had his five-fer, leaving debutant Iftikhar to grab his maiden Test wicket. When it's your day...

    As a passionate England fan, I expected them to win this series, but Pakistan have done everything right in this Test.

  6. Afternoon session reviewpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 14 August 2016

    How optimistic we had been that England would take this game into a fifth day. How we hoped there would be an amazing fightback from the likes of Bairstow and Ballance. And for a while it seemed to happen as well. But the afternoon session has proven it's just not England's day. As has the run out of Woakes.

    Mike Bell: Brittle batting, no Test class spinner, and no effective fourth seamer. England will struggle across a whole series every time.

    Hmmm... another spooky stat. Today is Pakistan's Independence Day, as we've mentioned before, and guess which year they (and India) achieved said Independence? Yep, 1947. So history slowly working its circular way like a.... err, thing that circles.

    Since the war, the lowest score defended in first-class cricket is 42 by Eastern Province against Border in 1947.

    Cricinfo's Hassan Cheema: The similarities to this Test, external are beyond eerie now. It's like they watched this match and said, "yeah, lets do THAT"

    He's referring to the Oval Test of 1996 - Pakistan 521 & 48-1 beat England 326 % 242 by nine wickets. Spookily similar!

    Target 40 (Aslam 7, Azhar 9)

    Well, Afridi may have jumped the gun ever so slightly, but it would really take the most phenomenal of collapses for England to win this. I've just heard our statsman Andrew say the lowest target defended was 34..... back in the mid-18th century. Back when Baldrick was spending time matching the political machinations of the evil Pitt. Woakes finishes the last ball before tea with a wide one that needs a couple of bounces before reaching Bairstow. Tea, boys. Anybody eating cake today?

    Target 40

    Like a 10,000m race at the Olympics, Pakistan are slowly building up the pace, as Azhar Ali takes three off Woakes and Aslam a double. England have been back-markers for most of the last two days. We go into the last official over before tea, yet to find out if we're taking extra time.

    By the weight of the stats, England should have pipped it.

    England will finish this series with the top three run-scorers (Root 512, Cook 423, Bairstow 366) and top wicket-taker (Woakes 26).

    Target 40

    There is sure to be a big party in London tonight for those of a Pakistani disposition. I've heard that Misbah is partial to his biryanis. Maybe he'll do a Claudio Ranieri clean-sheet pizza style trick and buy his team a full round. Moeen gives away a four off his final ball, as Aslam clubs him off the back foot.

    Pakistan's followers are loud and enthusiastic, and why not? Their side has done them proud.

    Target 40

    Azhar gives Pakistan their first four, hooking Woakes' short delivery to the fine leg ropes. All the 'chacha' lookalikes - and the original as well, I'm sure - are bouncing away in the stands.  Woakes keeps his tight field in place, which is heavy on the off side.

    who's name: Pakistan players who struggled left out, replacements do well, England players struggle they keep getting picked and failing.

    Calum MacLeod: Vince and Ballance have 26 runs between them in the match. Finn and Anderson have 47. Enough said!

    Target 40

    Moeen completes what was eventually a maiden. I'm trying to remember the time when Finn went off for a brief spell in one of the previous Tests this series. He looked in some discomfort then as well. Although at the time he had been able to walk it off. Wonder if it's the same hammy he's done again.
