Stokes turns back, slips, throw from mid-off misses.
Watch from behind the sofa.

In 2019, my wife dragged me away from Lord's to watch Robbie Williams in Hyde Park. I am just arriving at the MCG now after a 50 hour journey including delayed flights and lost luggage. Please let me see a live ball!

Moeen Ali has so much experience. He's mature.

Brook c Shaheen b Shadab 20 (Eng 84-4)
Huge moment, for all sorts of reasons.
Harry Brook is gone, slapping Shadab Khan to Shaheen Afridi at long-off. Smart catch, but he's gone down injured. Ankle? He doesn't look in a good way.

Or is it edged? Pakistan want a look.
Feels unlikely.

Superb diving boundary stop by Haris Rauf saves a run. Naseem Shah is bowling rockets again.

I'll be honest, I went to a gig last night and feel a bit dusty this morning. This tension is doing me no favours at all.
