  1. Ollie Robinson has 4-48 on this pitch!

    England need three wickets and have 83 runs to play with. There are only the bowlers left now. Do Pakistan still even think about the win?

    What a catch from Root! There is almost silence in the crowd.

    WICKET

    Azhar c Root b Robinson 40 (Pak 260-7)

    Ollie Robinson bowling England to victory! Azhar Ali is out. The huuuuge catch has been snaffled at leg slip by Joe Root.

    Robinson wheels away with his arms out wide. Root can't catch him!

  4. Pak 260-6

    England need four wickets to win

    Imagine being Naseem, a 19-year-old with a batting average of five, in this situation.

    Ben Stokes is beaming. He's absolutely loving it - somehow.

  5. Waqar Younis
    Former Pakistan fast bowler on TMS

    Pakistan are very lucky in that occasion. That could've been a disaster.

  6. Pak 260-6

    Azhar Ali takes a single. Naseem Shah is back on strike.

    Win, lose or draw, I imagine Ben Stokes will feel like Russell Crowe in Gladiator- 'Are you not entertained!' . For all the miseries bemoaning this approach, it's brilliant to watch.

  8. Pak 259-6

    Target 343

    Oh it did! Just when you thought this Test had given you everything.

    Naseem Shah's off stump was hit first ball but the bails did not come off.

  9. Pak 259-6

    Has this hit the stumps but the bails stayed on?! Ollie Robinson thinks so.

    Remarkable.

  10. That was a very good review. Salman did hit it. It just hit the pad first. Whoever made the call needs a pat on the back.

    Naseem Shah is Pakistan's number eight.

    84 runs are needed.

    Former Pakistan fast bowler on TMS

    Robinson has broken through with the old ball. Brendon McCullum looks delighted. Very good review taken and it really paid off for England.

    A fine wicket and now things have opened up a bit.

    WICKET

    Salman lbw b Robinson 30 (Pak 259-6)

    OUT!

    Here's to you, Ollie Robinson.

    England have their first breakthrough of the session.

  13. My heart...

  14. HE HAS NOT HIT IT.

    England are excited. They're already celebrating.

    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    I thought he edged that if I'm honest.

  16. England review

    Is this a gamble? Ben Stokes is going up for an lbw review. It may be too high. Salman may have hit it.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    The new ball is now due. Do you take it?

  18. Pak 258-5

    Need 85 runs to win

    There will be lots of decision for Ben Stokes to make over the next 90 minutes, in this position for the first time as captain. The first is whether to take the new ball. It is now available.

    Pakistan's running is edgy.

  19. Pak 257-5

    Need 86 runs to win

    The Pakistan was were making an almighty racket when the players emerged but they have fallen quiet now. It's probably the tension. I'm nervous so I've no idea how you're supposed to bowl.

    Back-to-back maidens.

    Former Pakistan fast bowler on TMS

    You don't want to see a run-out here.
