    Tell me again why Jack Leach is rubbish?

    These are a crucial few overs here. If England can nip one more over, they'll be feeling very good.

  3. Pak 191-4

    Target 355

    The end of a successful over for Jack Leach and England. Faheem Ashraf is in at number six, a promotion for him.

    But how big was that wicket for England? Can they snare another one before stumps?

  4. Jonathan Agnew

    England finally get the breakthrough.

    WICKET

    Imam c Root b Leach 60 (Pak 191-4)

    Got 'im! Very sharp catch from Joe Root at slip!

    Imam-ul-Haq hangs his head but England are jubilant, the partnership is broken! It was full from Jack Leach, encouraging the drive, the batter obliged but the ball dipped on him and the edge was found.

    It went very quickly to Root and he gobbled up the catch before flinging the ball into the Multan skies.

  6. Jonathan Agnew

    Shakeel gets to his fifty. It's his third in Test cricket.

  7. 50 runs

    50 for Saud Shakeel

    Pak 191-3

    A third half-century in the series for Saud Shakeel. He gets there from 115 balls with a simple push to mid-on.

    Plenty of work still to do for the left-hander but he's batted very nicely indeed. I can't remember him even giving a chance.

  8. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    One thing that's clear now is that this wicket is probably better for batting now than at any other stage in this game.

    Jack Leach is back, he's had a fruitless time today.

  9. Pak 190-3

    Target 355

    Just a single from Anderson's over and that is largely thanks to two excellent pieces of fielding.

    Firstly from Zak Crawley, diving to his left to stop Imam's powerful cut shot, and then Ollie Robinson, swooping to pick the ball up cleanly at mid-wicket.

    England's energy is still there. One last push before the close...?

  10. I'll answer my own question: it's Jimmy Anderson. At least that is Stokes' choice. Another magic ball wouldn't go amiss...

  11. Ben Stokes? Jimmy Anderson? Who should England turn to for what is likely to be the last half hour (if we're lucky) of the day?

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    England desperately need to break this partnership.

  13. Pak 189-3

    Target 355

    Still nothing doing for England and this fourth-wicket partnership is now worth 106.

    Time for drinks. Can England concoct a plan to bring the breakthrough?

    If England somehow conspire to lose this match after the position they were in, it will cap off a truly miserable weekend for English sport.

  15. Pak 185-3

    Target 355

    The floodlights are on and the shadows are lengthening out in Multan. Ollie Robinson oversteps a couple of times but there are no runs off the bat in the over.

    I can't help but wonder how much of a different feel there would be out in the middle now if England had reviewed that caught behind in Wood's last over - or if it had been given.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    We should get at least half an hour more of cricket on this enthralling day of cricket.

  17. I must admit I thought it was pad in real time, the umpire and Pope thought the same. Wood and Joe Root thought otherwise and it turns out they were right!

    Still, it wasn't reviewed so Pakistan remain only three down.

  18. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Oh my goodness, we're seeing the Ultra-Edge and there was something on it. Wood was right.

  19. Pak 183-3

    Target 355

    Oh no. There is a big England appeal for a catch behind down the leg side off Mark Wood. Ollie Pope who takes it doesn't appeal, though, and it's given not out.

    After burning a review earlier, Stokes decides against sending it upstairs. Mistake. UltraEdge shows the slightest of murmurs as the ball passes the bat.

    Big let off for Imam and a missed opportunity for England.

  20. Pakistan are now more than halfway to their target.
