100 for Babar Azampublished at 47.3 overs
There we go!
Short from Lockie Ferguson and Babar cuts away for a single to pick up his century off 124 balls.
The crowd are going wild. They briefly calm down but then Babar kneels down and kisses the Edgbaston turf and off they go again. The support today has been magnificent.
Pak 230-3published at 47.2 overs
Haris moves to leg and drives down to mid-off for a single.
Babar is back on strike, on 99. The crowd are expectant.
Pak 229-3published at 47.1 overs
Make that nine needed.
Crunched to the point boundary by Haris Sohail.
Is he going to finish it off and deny Babar a hundred?

Pak 225-3published at 47 overs
Glorious drive from Babar but it's well stopped in the covers.
He and we are going to have to wait.
Only one off the over. Pakistan need 13 from the final three.

Now he's missed a gimme off his hip.

Babar, on 99, is back on strike.
Ooh, he cuts to the fielder. Imagine the noise when if he brings up his three figures.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThat wide was harsh...
Pak 219-3published at 46 overs
Lockie Ferguson is ticking. His short ball is called a wide, perhaps harshly, so he bowls another one that Haris Sohail sort of ducks into and ends up swatting away for a single.
Shot! The extra ball for that wide is punished. It sits up beautifully for Babar Azam and he crunches a pull shot to the fence. He moves to 99.

Do you reckon Kane Williamson is stood there thinking why did I bowl Colin Munro?
That was a huge momentum shift.

BBC Test Match Special at EdgbastonPicked up gloriously! It was length, it was a little bit of width, and Haris Sohail is not missing out.
Pak 215-3published at 45 overs
Length and width from Trent Boult and Haris Sohail just stands tall and drives him over mid-off for four.
Glorious.
The horns are blaring again.
