    I'm surprised Stokes hasn't given Rehan a chance yet.

  2. Pak 132-3

    Babar 29, Shakeel 43

    Four more to the impressive left-hander Saud Shakeel. Pakistan's lead stretches to 82 and the partnership 78.

    Are England still on top?

    Best cricketing moment of the year for me is less obvious, Foakes getting to his 100 at Old Trafford. He's been a favourite player of mine for a while and has constantly been overlooked and so unlucky with injuries/illness/selection in his England career. I was there that day and his joy was just infectious to all!

  4. Pak 126-3

    No joy in this over with Babar blocking out a maiden.

    Let's have some more favourite moment suggestions...

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

    Stokes has got one wicket in the series and it was Babar.

  6. Pak 126-3

    Lead by 76

    I mused whether England would struggle to chase over 200 a little earlier but now Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam are in it looks much easier to bat.

    Shakeel whips one excellently over mid-wicket off Leach.

    There's half a chance of a run-out later in the over but Rehan Ahmed doesn't take it cleanly. After that the chance was gone.

  7. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It was just a little too full and wide from Stokes.

  8. Pak 118-3

    Stokes is driven to the boundary again by Babar Azam. The England skipper has got to bowl full to try and find some reverse swing but if the ball doesn't move off straight then it could be an expensive ploy.

    We still haven't seen Rehan Ahmed bowl today.

    My highlight of the year is the creation of the 'Nighthawk' role for Stuart Broad. Whilst it may seem frivolous, it illustrates the coaching genius of Brendan McCullum, where he identifies what really makes a player tick. Another example of this is ensuring that Jonny Bairstow now feels fully included in the team.

  10. Pak 113-3

    Lead by 63

    These two have batted a lot together in this series. Saud Shakeel, who hadn't played a Test, beforehand has been really impressive.

    How many would England not want to chase on this? 200?

  11. Pak 113-3

    Babar 22, Shakeel 32

    Almost. A ball from Ben Stokes stays low and Babar Azam has to jab his bat down on it. That said it was a no-ball from Stokes so it'd have been even more frustrating had Babar been hit on the pad.

    The Pakistan captain is far more comfortable at the end of the over, driving Stokes through the covers. England's all-rounder has a word or two.

    Best cricketing moment of the year was the T20 finals day going to the absolute wire - final ball chaos! Meant double the fireworks and celebrations. Never seen anything like it before, and won't again! It was cricket's version of Aguerooooo!

    Dan, Kent

  13. Pak 108-3

    Lead by 58

    England's fielders yelp as Saud Shakeel drives Jack Leach through the air. It was pretty safe - wide of Ollie Robinson at mid-off.

    Keep suggestions of your moments of 2022 coming.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Pakistan will be looking to wear down England's bowlers and build their lead. There are plenty of gaps for Shakeel to hit into and that's the difference with the mindset of both teams.

  15. Pak 104-3

    It has been a tidy start from Ben Stokes although there's no obvious sign of swing.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Stokes is the type of bowler that will bowl seven or eight overs to give his bowlers a rest.

    He is bowling it a bit fuller to see if they can get any reverse swing.

  17. Pak 104-3

    Lead by 54

    Along a similar theme to Graeme, I'd throw in Joe Root's scoop - The Roop - off Tim Southee at Trent Bridge too.

    An incredible shot that sums up the summer.

    Root's match-winning century in the second innings at Lord's. The rest of the summer was joyous, but that was a wonderful moment as Root was able to deliver the win he so desperately wanted for the team. His post-match interview brought a tear to my eye as he spoke with such relief and happiness, and such selflessness.

  19. Pak 103-3

    Babar 17, Shakeel 28

    The trumpeter is now playing Gold by Spandau Ballet.

    "You've got the power to know. You're indestructible..." the England fans sing to their captain. Can he muster a bit of magic in this spell to break this partnership? It has been a good fightback from Pakistan since Jack Leach took three quick wickets in the morning session. Leach was on a hat-trick at one stage.

  20. Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes actually opened the bowling in the second innings in Rawalpindi.

    England have bowled in six innings this series and have had five different opening bowling pairs.

    The only repeated opening pair is Ollie Robinson and Jack Leach, who opened the bowling in both innings in Multan.
