  1. Pak 262-5published at 86 overs

    Target 355

    Just one from Leach's over.

    Saud Shakeel has been so impressive in this innings. I'm trying to remember a moment where he has been troubled.

    Whatever the result here, it looks like Pakistan have found themselves a good one.

    Bowling change, Jack Leach will replace Root.

    Shakeel is the glue in this Pakistan run-chase.

    The length Robinson is bowling is just spot-on. He's dragging Nawaz on to the front foot.

  5. Pak 261-5published at 85 overs

    Target 355

    Another play and a miss from Nawaz as he swishes at a ball outside off stump again.

    He dabs the next ball for a single, though, and that brings up the fifty partnership.

    Close! Robinson whistles the last ball past the outside edge for a second time in the over, Nawaz does not look comfortable against him.

    Pakistan need 94 more runs to win.

    Tom McCarron: Up early doors to watch the finish, obviously wanting an England win, but I also don't think a final Test decider between these two teams would be a bad thing by any stretch!

  7. Pak 259-5published at 84 overs

    Target 355

    It's Nawaz's turn to take a single from the fifth ball of the over. That will suit England just fine as Shakeel can only block the last.

    Robinson will now have potentially six balls at Nawaz and he's caused him a couple of problems with the new ball.

    That's a very positive stroke. Maybe a bit of risk involved but a boundary nonetheless.

  9. Pak 258-5published at 83.2 overs

    Target 355

    Floated up by Root, Nawaz takes it on and hits in the air - but in the gap - through the covers for four.

    Less than 100 to win for Pakistan, 97 to be precise.

  10. Pak 253-5published at 83 overs

    Target 355

    After Shakeel pinches a quick single fifth ball again, Robinson finds some extra bounce and raps Nawaz on the glove. Ouch!

    The new ball is offering England some encouragement but these two Pakistan left-handers are holding firm.

    This game is getting better and better for Pakistan. They did lose a wicket early but they're settling in nicely now.

    Pakistan will be happy with this start today.

  13. Pak 252-5published at 82 overs

    Target 355

    Nearly through Shakeel first up! The ball skids on and the left-hander does just enough to keep it out.

    He pushes a single fifth ball and then Nawaz charges the last, nowhere near the pitch, he doesn't time it but muscles it well enough to get the ball straight of mid-on for four.

    That sums up the Pakistan approach, I think. Shakeel is playing to be there at the end, Nawaz will play his shots.

  14. Postpublished at 06:00 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2022

    Ooh interesting, Joe Root will share the new ball. Big call from Stokes, I wouldn't expect anything less.

  16. Pak 247-5published at 81 overs

    Target 355

    Robinson starts over the wicket to both left-handers before switching to around late in the over - and there is a play and a miss last ball!

    A loose stroke from Nawaz and he's fortunate to get away with it. We weren't seeing any plays and misses with the old ball, I'll say that much.

    Just a single from the over.

    Pakistan need 108 runs to win and England need five wickets. It really is perfectly set up.

  18. new ball

    New ballpublished at 05:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2022

    The second new ball has been taken. Ollie Robinson will get first use of it.

    This could be the game, right here.

  19. drinks break

    Pak 246-5published at 80 overs

    Target 355

    Nearly a mix-up as Nawaz tries to come through for a single after defending into the off side but Shakeel is unmoved. Pakistan are relieved to see Nawaz back safely.

    That's 80 overs bowled then, the second new ball is now available - England will have the drinks break to decide whether to take it immediately or not.

    Leach hasn't quite got his length right again. Sometimes he's dropped it a bit too short and sometimes he's gone a bit full.
