  1. GOODBYE

    That's just about your lot for this evening's live text.

    Pakistan are in pole position with two matches left to play. We'll have live text commentaries of them on Friday and Sunday at 15:30 BST.

    "A poor start with the bat cost England again in a match they looked in control of at the halfway stage," is the verdict of my colleague Tom Mallows.

    You can read his report here...

    Should you wish to browse the scorecard from the game you can do so at your leisure here...

    Bye for now.

    Haris: Shadab definitely adds a different dimension to this Pakistani team! Economical with the ball and occasionally the surprise package with the bat.

  3. 'We feel we are a better team than that'

    England captain Moeen Ali: "Very, very, good game. Obviously disappointed we didn't chase the runs. We feel we are a better team than that. We got stranded with their spinners and couldn't get going."

    On Mark Wood: "He was amazing. On a slow wicket he bowled fast. He is massive for our team. He gets the big wickets. Someone with bit of pace can make batters do silly things."

  4. We're still waiting to hear from both captains and we'll have their thoughts with you shortly.

    Respect to Pakistan but still...two games in a row England have somehow managed to lose. Could and should be series victory at 4-1. Hope they are learning lessons about some of their players....

  6. Pakistan have gone 3-2 up in the series with two left to play - this coming Friday and Sunday.

    James Gulleford: The difference today was Chris Woakes poor bowling at the end. Got smacked for six before finally getting the last wicket. That six cost England the game!

  8. In among all that excitement at the end, Moeen Ali made a half-century off 35 balls.

    That last ball was in the slot. It shows you how difficult it was to start on that pitch.

    Pakistan bowled exceptionally well.

    Great game.

  11. champagne moment

    Pakistan win by six runs

    David Willey has a big swing straight but is unable to quite get enough on it to force a super over. Well bowled Aamer Jamal, who showed some bottle on debut.

  12. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Jamal's execution has been pretty good.

  13. Eng 139-7

    Just a single, and maths dictate Moeen Ali has to take it.

    David Willey is on strike to face the final ball of the match. A six will tie the scores and we'll have a super over.

  14. Eng 138-7

    Dot ball.

  15. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is why Moeen didn't take the one.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is a huge hit!

    The win is back on.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 138-7

    Target 146

    Boooooom! The man on the PA system attempts to whip up the crowd but Moeen Ali marmalises Aamer Jamal by whacking a length ball for six back over his head.

    91 metres.

  18. Eng 132-7

    Wide. He'll have to bowl it again.

    Moeen Ali has had a good look at Aamer Jamal for three balls. He needs to find the boundary now.

  19. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It is the right move. If anyone is going to do this now it is Moeen.

  20. Eng 131-7

    Full and wide from Aamer Jamal but Moeen Ali is not able to strike it cleanly. He sends David Willey back rather than take the single.

    15 off four balls
