The Hollies Stand is starting to really get into voice now. England need wickets. Babar had 0 from 14 balls and now has a hundred at pretty much a run a ball.
Play and a miss! Perhaps a short lapse in concentration from Babar as he goes fishing at one outside off from Saqib.
For all his hard work, he knows he still has some work to do to set England a competitive total.
He does it in style!!
Babar Azam punches Saqib through point to reach his 14th ODI century.
He's scored 101 from 104 deliveries, a well-paced, classy innings from one of the best batsman in world cricket.
Helmet comes off, he lets out a huge roar - you can see what it means to the Pakistan captain.
Now it's Babar's turn to dispatch a short delivery to the mid-wicket boundary. A single brings up Pakistan's 200 as Babar Azam, on 97, keeps the strike.
Another slower ball bouncer and another pull through square for four as Rizwan latches onto it.
The runs are flowing here for Pakistan.

I worked with Saqib Mahmood last year when I was with the England set-up. He always wants to learn.
He also played in Pakistan Super League and sat in our room and I had a good chat with him, he's a real prospect.
Babar Azam plays through off side with such ease. It's not a bad delivery from Saqib but Babar positions his body well to cut through point for two.
Saqib tries to go straighter as Babar then clips him through mid-wicket for two more, this Pakistan pair running well between the wicket.
Seven in total from the over and Pakistan keeping that score ticking along nicely.

This will be good to see how Saqib Mahmood bowls under a bit more pressure. We've seen what he can do at the start of an innings but this is a very different scenario against two set batters.
England turn to their bowler of the series Saqib Mahmood. Will he find the breakthrough?

A batter of Babar's class never really worries about his strike rate. He always know that if he stays in, he'll make up for it.
Bryson Carse is brought into the attack and a well-executed yorker zips agonisingly past Babar's off-stump.
The Pakistan captain takes a quick single to move onto 87 from 95 balls. Will he reach a 14th ODI century? He's looking good for it...

This is the strongest position that any ODI team has been in against England all summer.
Pakistan are in a real strong position here. Wickets in hand and two settled batsmen.

That was a quicker ball from Parkinson and Babar picked it perfectly to get six from it.
Wallop!
After conceding three singles, Parkinson bowls a bit quicker and fuller and Babar Azam launches the Bolton-born leg-spinner down the wicket for six.

It will be an interesting challenge for this new look England side if Pakistan can set them 300 plus to chase.
Who does Stokes turn to in order to break up this partnership? Saqib Mahmood still has five overs to go, might be time to give him one or two more?

That on-drive was a thing of beauty from Mohammad Rizwan.
