  1. Not outpublished at 06:12 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2022

    Babar, back on the field after some illness, has had a brain fade here. Here's been distracted by how ugly a shot Brook played.

    He was in a tangle but it was never going to be out lbw. It was missing by a long way.

    I felt it was going down leg side and so did Mohammad Rizwan.

    Back under way and Harry Brook gets in a massive tangle.

    Pakistan want another look at this lbw shout.

    We may have a second result coming very soon. South Africa have been dismissed for 99, leaving Australia just 33 to win. Full scorecard here., external

    A quiet over from Nauman takes us to drinks.

    We already have one result to bring you this morning.

    India have sealed a dominant 188-run victory over Bangladesh on the final day of the first Test in Chittagong to go 1-0 up in the two-match series.

    Resuming on 272-6, Bangladesh were all out for 324 within an hour - well short of their hefty victory target of 523.

    Axar Patel bowled Taijul Islam for a duck to seal the win and end with figures of 4-77.

    Pope 41, Brook 9

    Speaking of Harry Brook... here he comes, charging down the pitch to plant Abrar Ahmed for six.

    There's a close lbw shout against England's number five later in the over but, after a long discussion, Pakistan decide against a review. It wouldn't have been out had they gone upstairs.

    If there was such thing as a commentator's curse then this would be the time I'd be worried to say Ollie Pope is looking good.

    A sweep brings him a couple more.

    The pressure is on England's batters now, possibly for the first time in the series. They're still a long way behind Pakistan's score. You can hear the increased excitement in the voice of wicketkeeper Rizwan and the other fielders.

    England's Pope continues to look busy.

    Brook being at the crease gives you a sense of calm.

    Hat-trick avoided by Harry Brook.

    I doubt he even had his shoes on five minutes ago. Those wickets have come from nowhere.

    This didn't need checking. It was safely snaffled.

    Nauman Ali is on a hat-trick!

    Joe Root is caught at slip first ball! Nauman Ali has two in two.

    The umpires just want to check the catch.

    Good decision from umpire Wilson. You could tell from Duckett's reaction.

    The review doesn't save Ben Duckett. It's umpire's call on impact on off stump which means the original decision stands.

    Duckett is visibly disappointed. He feels he's left a lot out there by missing a ball that has hardly turned.
