    It's going to be Shadab Khan from the other end.

    Mohammad Abbas is feeling his right ankle, there's some discomfort there.

    Need 109 to win

    They may do, Patrick. It wouldn't be the worst idea to send Broad up the order and let him have a bash.

    Woakes blocks Abbas' final delivery and then the bowler reaches down and holds his boot. A problem?

    Dave: Just tell Buttler he's got 15 overs to knock these runs off, engage his one-day mode, and it's a done deal surely?

    Patrick: Why can't they move Broad up the order? He's looked a lot better than Archer and Bess.

  5. Eng 168-5published at 53.4 overs

    Remember the innings Jos Buttler played against Australia in an ODI on this very ground in 2018? It wasn't Test cricket but he has done this before.

    Buttler nudges a single.

    Target 277

    Jos Buttler walks down the pitch to Abbas' first ball before blocking. Wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan responds by coming up to the stumps.

    These two have given Pakistan something to think about here. They've played so fluently and opened the possibility, again, of England pulling off a likely win.

    There are still 40 overs to go tonight. That should be enough for either side.

    Seamer Mohammad Abbas is going bowl after tea. He was majestic earlier...

    Pakistan's players break from their huddle on the boundary edge.

    Jos Buttler whirrs his arm around as he walks out. More big shots on the way?

    Z Sohi: Broady has been on unbelievable form with the bat as of late, I’m backing him to score a quickfire fifty to win this for us!

    Don't forget about those 32 runs Pakistan added in 16 balls this morning. England would really be in with a shout had they knocked Pakistan over more quickly.

  14. Postpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 8 August 2020

    Pakistan will surely be saying at tea that it only takes a couple more balls like these for them to win.

    Ollie Pope in particular could do nothing.

    Charlie: Those 30 runs this morning are starting to feel uncomfortably valuable now.

    Liam Thom: Ten 28 run partnerships win this game... England still in it.

  16. Postpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 8 August 2020

    The Buttler-Woakes partnership is worth 50 from 49 balls. It has changed the momentum.

    England needed 160 to win when they came together. Now it's 'only' 110.

    As Pakistan were walking off, Yasir Shah pulled Naseem Shah to one side and kept him on the pitch, giving the young man a good talking to. It was almost as if he was telling him to keep his head.

    Thanks Kal and apologies for coming in and stealing the big finish. This game will surely end in this next session but who will win it?

  20. Postpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time 8 August 2020

    Right then, that's my lot for today. And, I am assuming, this Test.

    I am tagging in Matthew Henry who will take you through the evening session.
