A much-needed boundary.
Moeen Ali tilts on to the back foot like a flamingo, and works the ball for a single round the corner to get Sam Curran back on strike for the final ball of Shadab Khan's over.
Curran backs away to give himself room and thwacks it through the covers for four. England's first boundary, off the bat, for 28 balls.

England are going to have to start taking some risks but four overthrows help.
Chance of a run out for Pakistan, but the throw is wild and Shadab Khan stumbles over the stumps to add to the confusion.
The ball crosses the boundary for four overthrows, plus the single they ran.
Sam Curran dances down the track attempting to work Iftikhar Ahmed away. It hits him on the pad, but there's a big inside edge and the umpire is not interested.
He's kept the strike. Pressure building on England here.

Malan was not happy with that at all. It was clipping the leg stump.
Malan lbw b Iftikhar Ahmed 36 (Eng 62-5)
Dawid Malan shakes his head as he walks off. He's chuntering to himself.
It was going down leg, but DRS gives it to umpire's call.

Going down...
Iftikhar Ahmed strikes Dawid Malan on the pad after darting one full. The crowd roar after it's given out on field.
However, Malan has reviewed it. This will be close.

The spinners are tightening the screws. You feel a big shot is coming.
Shadab Khan has a miserly 1-13 off his three overs. The latest going for three runs.
He beats the outside edge of an unusually leaden-footed Moeen Ali with his penultimate delivery.
Boiling up into a nerve-jangler this one.

England need to know which over they are going to target and when.
Woah, woah we're halfway there. Not sure how big Bon Jovi are in Pakistan, in all honesty.
England are 58-4. They need 88 runs from 60 balls to go 3-2 up in the series with two left to play. A bit of liquid refreshment to let that sink in.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. England skipper Moeen Ali is the new batter. He keeps out his first ball before poking one into the covers to get off the mark.
Dawid Malan is still there, 34 not out from 31 balls.

England are rocking.

England have really struggled. It was a great review. It did look like it could be going down but it was hitting the top of leg stump.
Brook lbw b Shadab Khan 4
Gone! A brilliant review by Babar Azam.
The ball-tracking showed that was going on to hit leg so Harry Brook is on his way. Brook completely failed to pick that delivery from Shadab Khan.

Unless there is an inside edge you have got to feel this is out.

I am not surprised they are having a look at this.
