Pak 224-6published at 62 overs
Yet more impressive glovework from Foakes, who takes one down the leg side off Leach. Leach goes up for an appeal, thinking there was some glove on it but captain Stokes is not convinced.
As ever, Stokes is right.
Summary
Crawley out without scoring in first over
Four wickets for Leach as Pakistan bowled out for 304
Leg-spinner Ahmed, 18, takes two wickets on debut

As he has been from the start, Rehan Ahmed is still chewing on his gum. He is bowling much better than his first spell now. He tosses it up to left-hander Faheem, finding a nice area.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialWe were talking off air about how England would get Babar out because he looked like he could get a century.
It's those little moments in Test match that change the game.

Buddy Holly, you'll know very well Michael, was in a band called Buddy Holly and the Crickets. My Grandad will be proud of me for knowing that one.

It's wonderful to see England doing so well and it has made my day with the reference to my idol Buddy Holly.

England have been gifted six wickets on a road!
Faheem Ashraf can bat. He's the new man.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialPakistan have lost another reckless wicket here.
It was always going to be tight. Brook did well and Foakes did even better. The real problem for England has gone. Agha Salman will be feeling dreadful.
The pressure is on Pakistan.

Babar run out Brook 78 (Pak 219-6)
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's given! You don't see many wickets like this. Ben Foakes has been both brilliant with a tumbling one-handed flick to remove the bails but fortunate too.
This is out because although he has knocked off one bail with his 'other' glove, one bail remains in the groove when he clatters the stumps with the other hand - the one with the ball in.

Now this is interesting. Ben Foakes has brilliantly taken broken the stumps with the ball in one hand but has he broken the stumps with his other glove?
It's Babar too. Big decision.

Surely Pakistan haven't handed England a run-out?!

Keith Greaves: Ben Stokes' captaincy has saved the series from these pitches!
Pak 217-5published at 58 overs
Image source, Getty ImagesI'm relying on Aggers who says Ahmed's song is a take on one by Buddy Holly. I wonder if, given Busted were number one the day the teenager was born, Ahmed has ever heard of it.
Wood slumps off at the end of the over. That'll be his spell done.

Pak 217-5published at 57 overs
Rehan Ahmed finds the inside edge of Agha's bat but for once Ben Stokes doesn't have a short leg in. It sounds like the Barmy Army have already made Ahmed's song.
I'll have to get back to you on the lyrics.

Former England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialLots of field changes and adjustments for Babar. There are no close catches at all. Looking to induce a mistake from Babar.

Ben Stokes starts to limber up at the end of an unsuccessful Wood over. Where's that klaxon?
Pak 214-5published at 56 overs
In another show of faith, Ben Stokes hands Rehan Ahmed the second over of the session. He was in a really good groove before tea.
The speed of his overs are giving me no time to squeeze in some much-needed online Christmas shopping.

Babar 76, Agha 2
Image source, Getty ImagesThose in the crowd are growing louder and louder with their man Babar Azam on strike. Pakistan's captain is almost egging himself and his batting partner on after crunching away a pull shot.
Wood is banging it in but there's no life in this pitch.
