    Lewis Gregory played really well, before he was caught on the square leg boundary.

  2. Eng 235-9published at 43 overs

    Ooof! Haris Rauf finishes the over with an excellent yorker, but Saqib Mahmood does really well to dig it out and steer it down to third for a single.

    Oh I say, that was the most simple of catches. It was a dolly.

    Oh, a dolly!

    Saqib Mahmood hits this well, but it's straight at Faheem Ashraf, at waist height, and he really should catch that.

    Matt Parkinson is the last man in.

    Two Lancashire players are at the crease.

    He's helped England get to a total which I think really will be challenging.

    It was a good effort from Brydon Carse, batting for just the second time in List A cricket.

    Carse b Rauf 31 (Eng 233-9)

    Edged on!

    Brydon Carse goes to drive outside off stump, but an inside edge cannons into the base of the stumps.

    Haris Rauf has a couple of wickets now. He's come back well, after receiving some tap earlier.

    Carse 31, Mahmood 1

    Three singles from the over. Sensible cricket from England, no big booming shots.

    Chris Silverwood and Ashley Giles are having a laugh and a joke on the England balcony. I think they'll be proud of how this newly-formed group of players have done in this series so far.

    It was a ball in the channel and Carse was stuck in the crease but there's clear daylight.

    Nothing on UltraEdge. On we go...

  12. Pakistan reviewpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 10 July 2021

    Has Brydon Carse been caught behind?

    Mohammad Rizwan liked it. The rest took some convincing.

  13. Postpublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 10 July 2021

    Hassan Ali is back on.

    His spell earlier of three wickets for four runs, turned the game in Pakistan's favour.

  14. Eng 230-8published at 41 overs

    An over-head height bouncer gives England another run. They could all be crucial in a few overs.

    There are six overs left - we're playing a 47-over game after some morning rain. England just have to make sure they bat them out surely? Accumulate, and work their way up to a score, rather than anything too reckless.

  15. Eng 229-8published at 40.3 overs

    Saqib Mahmood is the new batter.

    He opts to leave his first ball.

    That was England's highest eight-wicket partnership against Pakistan, beating the 67 posted by Darren Gough and Ben Hollioake at Headingley in 2001.

    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    That one was a proper bouncer and he was just a bit more out of control in the shot. It was a good running catch.

    Gregory c Fakhar b Rauf 40 (Eng 229-8)

    The short ball works!

    It's banged in from Haris Rauf, and Lewis Gregory's pull catches the top edge and loops to Fakhar Zaman on the deep square boundary.

    It's a very good 40 from Gregory, though, and a crucial partnership worth 69.

    Craig Moore: I like Lewis Gregory. Has a bit of swagger about him. Reminds me of someone like Peter Trego; who should have got more chances for England.

  20. Eng 229-7published at 40 overs

    Gregory 40, Carse 29

    The running in this partnership has been superb. Again they pick up two, into the mid-wicket pocket, rather than a single.

    Shadab Khan finishes with figures of 1-46 from his 10 overs.
