    Do you know what happened to Imam? We didn't see anything yesterday. Something must've happened overnight.

    This will be interesting, Rizwan is the T20 opener. He's coming in place of Imam ul-Haq.

    It's true that sides are more confident chasing bigger totals now but with 281 the highest score either side have managed in three innings, 355 looks a big ask.

    The players are back out and Mohammad Rizwan will open in place of Imam-ul-Haq. Interesting choice.

    Ollie Robinson will open the bowling for England.

    England are not unassailable. Sides are not afraid of chasing 350 these days.

    There's no sign of massive deterioration in the pitch.

  8. Pakistan need 355 to winpublished at 05:56 Greenwich Mean Time 11 December 2022

    Not quite a record chase for Pakistan but not far off it. They will need to be at their very, very best to get these. Especially without Imam-ul-Haq.

    Still, they have plenty of time to get them and the pitch hasn't got noticeably worse in the last couple of days.

    England will be confident of getting the 10 wickets they need to clinch the series, though.

    It will be tricky for Pakistan, they won't have Imam ul-Haq. I wonder who'll step up. Will it be Babar?

    Yep, no bat involved, three reds and England are bowled out.

    All the England wickets in the match have fallen to spin. A good morning for Pakistan.

    It looked pretty straight.

  13. England reviewpublished at 64.5 overs

    Eng 275-9

    That should be it.

    Anderson goes for the conventional sweep this time. He misses, is hit on the back leg and up goes the umpire's finger.

    Anderson reviews because he can.

    Death, taxes, penalties costing England at a World Cup and Jimmy Anderson reverse sweeping!

    The England number 11 is off the mark first ball with a boundary using his favourite shot.

    We seem to have extraordinarily talented batsmen in our squad but they don't seem to like batting much.

    Brook was looking to clear the long boundary and that dismissal is not too dissimilar to that of Ben Stokes.

    Brook c Shakeel b Mahmood 108 (Eng 271-9)

    Harry Brook departs after a magnificent century.

    The Yorkshireman decided it was time to go, went for the slog-sweep and got a pretty good piece of it.

    However, it's a huge boundary out there and the ball is straight into the hands of Saud Shakeel. Pakistan are one wicket away from batting again.

    Pakistan's highest successful chase in Test cricket is 378.

    Brook isn't going all out just yet. He blocks the first couple of balls from Abrar before taking a single.

    Abrar then produces a beauty to Leach, Babar takes another very good catch at slip but it's not off the bat this time.
