    ENGLAND BEAT PAKISTAN BY 26 RUNSpublished at 08:29 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2022

    It did brush the bat!

    The England players roar in delight. They have won the game by 26 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

    It definitely came off Mohammad Ali's pad, but did it brush the bat as well?

    England are jubilant, they're absolutely convinced they've got him.

    Is this the moment?

    England are convinced Mohammad Ali had edged through to Ollie Pope.

    Ali reviews - but the body language suggests this is out.

  5. Postpublished at 08:26 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2022

    This looks a good move from Ben Stokes. Ollie Robinson is coming back into the attack.

    Thank goodness this isn't going to penalties!!

    Was hoping we’d get the last wicket before anyone else arrived in the office. Now the big boss has just appeared so I have to look busy. C’mon England!

    Boundaries are the only way Pakistan can win this game so it's the right approach from Salman.

    Wood is puffing. He's got his hands on his hips as he walks back and is sucking in air.

    Pakistan need 27 runs to win

    Agha Salman looks fairly relaxed out there. He has a big smile on his face.

    And well he might.

    As the field comes in for the single he takes advantage, driving a half volley down the ground for four. A short ball is then pulled away to the rope.

    Wood looks exhausted. He might be done here.

    Tattz: Mark Wood showing how important it is to have a 90mph+ bowler in your side. We just need to find a way of keeping him fit! Changes the game in these dry and dusty pitches.

  11. Pak 320-9published at 101 overs

    Pakistan need 35 runs to win

    Mohammad Ali sees off those two balls from Jack Leach. He is looking pretty solid in defence so far.

  12. Pak 320-9published at 100.4 overs

    Agha Salman takes a single off the fourth ball with a sweep down to fine leg.

    The field comes right in for Mohammad Ali...

    Can't we bring Jude Bellingham on for a couple of overs!?

    Jack Leach is indeed coming into the attack.

    A big call by Ben Stokes.

    Question is, how will Salman play in the next over? He's only got his number 11 for company.

    Leach is warming up.

    Mark Burt: Wood is worth his weight in gold. An invaluable point of difference. Wrap him in cotton wool after this match.

    Ross: Getting weird looks from staff in staff room, especially after that wicket! Come on England.

    Target 355

    Well played, Mohammad Ali. He successfully sees off five fierce deliveries from Mark Wood.

  18. Postpublished at 08:13 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2022

    Mohammad Ali is the new batter as England take their time with the field placings.

    Mark Wood is chasing a five-fer.

    A big moment.

    It was quite dramatic, the off-stump came out of the ground and the red bails went a long way off.

    Zahid Mahmood had no idea about that delivery. Mark Wood has his fourth and England are now one wicket away from winning here in Multan.
