50 for Haris Sohailpublished at 44.3 overs
Well batted Haris Sohail.
It's another glorious shot as he moves to leg slightly and carves through point for a couple.
As you can imagine, that gets the Pakistan faithful going again.

Match-winning? It's looking that way.

BBC Test Match Special at EdgbastonIt's been tidy from Mitchell Santner but it really stands out that there's no wickets in the column, on a pitch that has done so much.

That's Mitchell Santner done for the day. He finishes with figures of 0-38. How he's not taken a wicket I'll never know, he's bowled beautifully.

I remember my Dad telling me when I was a kid that low-scoring games are more exciting; it's true (NZ vs. PAK another example). It also demonstrates that in cricket, you need to use your brain and apply yourself to the situation, just like Pakistan are doing right now. England take note!
Paul, Newcastle
The level of performance, commitment and application from these teams along with India and Australia compared to England is striking. I'm starting to wonder if they've all spent the last 4 years cunningly luring England into a false sense of confidence.

Trent Boult responds well with three dot balls to end the over.
Pakistan need 34 from seven overs.

Babar Azam is glorious on the eye, isn't he?
He crunches a drive off Trent Boult that gets the Pakistan fans going again but a brilliant diving stop from Colin Munro restricts him to a couple.

Here's Haris Sohail's second six.
He's been brilliant.

BBC Test Match Special at EdgbastonThere was a moment 40 minutes or so where this game really was in the balance. And it's the Pakistan pairing who have come out on top.

Twelve runs come from Mitchell Santner's ninth over.
The Pakistan fans are making an almighty racket. Every run is being cheered vociferously.
They need 37 more from 48 balls.

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match SpecialBabar Azam has played really well. He can manipulate the ball, he can attack the ball, he can play the game in different ways. He's a fine player.
Pak 197-3published at 41.2 overs
Babar Azam gets down and slog-sweeps Mitchell Santner to the mid-wicket boundary.
And again! Same shot, same result.
This is going to be over quickly at this rate. The Pakistan faithful are making a lot of noise.

I really like the look of Haris Sohail. I thought he was brilliant on Sunday against South Africa and he's been brilliant again here.
He opens the face of the bat and works Boult down to the third man fence for his fifth boundary. Excellent touch.
