  1. Pak 120-6

    Lead by 227

    Yasir Shah wisely sways out of the way of a Ben Stokes short ball to end the over.

  2. Well, Yasir Shah, who does have a Test century, heads out to bat.

    It's the back leg, he's not the tallest chap. A good decision and a great breakthrough for England.

    WICKET

    Rizwan lbw Stokes 27 (Pak 120-6)

    Umpire's call!

    Is there anything Ben Stokes can't do?

  5. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Was it a little high? That's what he might be thinking.

  6. It's struck him on the back pad, above the knee roll....

  7. Pakistan review

    Ben Stokes strikes!

    This looks out, but Mohammad Rizwan sends it upstairs...

  8. 19:08! How pleasingly specific.

    Play will go on until 19:08 BST tonight. There's an extra 38 minutes of play than the scheduled end. They might get eight overs in.

  10. Pak 119-5

    Very good from Stuart Broad, coughing up just one run from his returning over.

    Jonny: If Stokes if fit to bowl next Test I would drop Archer. Crawley comes in at 3, everyone below him bumps down one place. Much stronger batting line-up and frankly Stokes has looked every bit as threatening as Archer with the ball this summer.

  12. A double change for England as we head into the final half hour.

    Here's Stuart Broad.

    I've got a feeling Stokes will do something. This is a bit like when Ian Botham would come on and he'd just make things happen. Stokes can impose himself on a game. And these batsmen, who have looked reasonably secure, now look like they're playing the person rather than the ball.

  14. Pak 118-5

    Lead by 225

    Shadab Khan has a wild swing at Ben Stokes' third delivery and somehow avoids edging it through to Jos Buttler.

    Stokes tells Shadab exactly what he thought of that shot before he rips the next ball past his outside edge. Shadab then works a ball off his pads, trips over his own feet, and somehow manages to make it down the other end.

    This is very interesting. This feels very much like England need wickets and they go to their talisman.

  16. Well then. Ben Stokes will bowl!

  17. Mark Ramprakash

    England have every chance of knocking off 250/260, their dressing room would definitely be thinking that. I think the game is on an absolute knife-edge.

  18. So, targets of over 200 have been chased down just twice at Old Trafford in the fourth innings.

    • England chased down 294 against New Zealand in 2008
    • England also chased down 231 against West Indies in 2004

    Craig Moore: Will in Oxford (see 18:19 BST entry) has been reading Tolstoy's Wikipedia since half 4.

  20. Pak 116-5

    Rizwan 26, Shadab 10

    That's awkward.

    James Anderson thinks he's finished his over but a very late no ball call means he has to bowl that last one again. A thick outside edge promptly goes dribbling down to third man for four.
