    That was a coat of varnish away from the outside edge of the bat.

    A fascinating battle is in play at the moment.

    Target 355

    Oh my, Shafique's lucky not to get a feather on that. It was an absolute ripper from Leach, pitching on middle and turning sharply past off stump.

  3. Pak 53-0published at 13 overs

    Target 355

    The pitch has played the odd trick where one has kept low so there's definitely enough to still keep the bowlers interested.

    Two half-chances have gone against England though.

  4. Not outpublished at 06:55 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2022

    Well, it looked promising to start off with. A good length delivery on off-stump kept very low and thudded into Rizwan's pads.

    Only problem with that is he got a massive inside-edge. Rizwan survives.

    Huge inside edge there. In fact it is a bit of a stinker of a decision.

    The body language of the England players suggests they are not that interested.

  7. Pakistan reviewpublished at 12.2 overs

    There's a very good shout for lbw and it's been given on-field. Rizwan goes upstairs straightaway.

    Right, time for some of Mark Wood's fiery pace.

    He replaces Root and rightly so I reckon.

    That was a gorgeous delivery. Everything but the outside edge.

  10. Pak 49-0published at 12 overs

    Target 355

    Leach found some purchase in that over as he got one to rip past Shafique's outside edge. It'll serve as some much-needed encouragement.

    He followed that up with one down the leg side though and it yielded a couple more runs for Pakistan.

  11. Pak 47-0published at 11 overs

    Target 355

    Was there an air of desperation about that review? Well, it's too soon to be desperate but England will definitely be concerned by what they've seen thus far.

    The pitch has held up surprisingly well.

  12. Not outpublished at 06:46 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2022

    And it is pitching just outside the line of leg stump, England lose a review.

    Root is convinced this is out.

  14. England Reviewpublished at 10.2 overs

    There's a big shout for leg before against Shafique and it's been turned down. England are going upstairs.

    It was another delivery on a leg-stump line so this might not be the greatest of reviews.

  15. Pak 43-0published at 10 overs

    Target 355

    Pakistan will definitely be feeling at ease after those first 10 overs. They've scored at a decent clip and England's bowlers haven't posed any material threats thus far.

    Stokes needs to come up with one of his inspirational changes I reckon.

    There's so much time left in this game Pakistan cannot bat out for the draw, so they may as well go for the win.

  17. Pak 40-0published at 9 overs

    Target 355

    Root hasn't quite got his line right today. He's been on leg stump or thereabouts. With the pitch not offering much, I doubt he'll find a lot of success bowling there.

    It's looking very comfortable for the Pakistani batters at the minute.

    There's not so much mist today, it's a much clearer day.

  20. Pak 37-0published at 8 overs

    Target 355

    No more runs after that boundary off the first ball but Pakistan are definitely looking to be positive.

    Some aerial shots of the gates also show people pouring in, they sense some impending action.
