Oh wow!
Phil Salt almost goes first ball, edging a loose one from Mohammad Nawaz to short third man.
Instead it squirts underneath the fielder for four.

England all-rounder Sam Curran: "It's my first time in Pakistan so it very different but I'm really enjoying playing in front of the Pakistan crowd, they've been amazing.
"The cricket so far has been great. Hopefully we can win this match and make it 3-3.
"We're just trying to be a little but unpredictable in the middle overs, bowling our bouncers and it's worked in this game and on these type of wickets. In Australia it might be different and we might need different plans.
"We're pretty happy with the way we bowled, the wicket got pretty good and the outfield is getting wet so it should be an interesting chase."

Steve: Decent score that. More than enough to comfortably defeat this current England side.
Steve does not believe.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorNo celebration from Reece Topley. He's frustrated with himself for going for as many runs as he did in that last over but he held his nerve. The England coaches will be very pleased, by and large, with how the bowlers have bowled.
It feels like a below-par total in Lahore.

England had got back into the game. But 28 runs were scored in the final two overs.
Advantage Pakistan at the halfway stage although I wonder how much the dew will worsen in Lahore...
