Itās great attacking cricket but we can lose this.
Brave declaration!

Pakistan now 25/2, plus Azhar Ali has retired hurt. A bold declaration indeed, but if you want to win you have to be prepared to risk losing. Very much the Shane Warne school of captaincy, and I love it.

Pakistan need 82 from the final session with 5 wickets remaining.
Atherton, getting 5 wickets in a session on this pitch isnāt likely.
4 wickets later Pakistan 264-9
Oh oh, umpires got the light meter outā¦England still need 1 wicket, Pakistan need 75 runs
Tense, nervous headacheā¦
Leach LBW, given, PAK reviewā¦looks plumb to me
No bat, ball tracker when ready please.

Should not have taken that long. Pope and Root leaving a straightforward catch to each other.

A lot more in this pitch than the last one. England lose 5 wickets in the morning session to the debutant leggie 180-5
51 added since lunch Stokes & Jackās gone
Abraham has all 7
232-7
Some decent buffing by Woody sees him & Jimmy put on 36 for last wicket
280ish all out
Just switched on and England are 59-2, lead by 138 runs. Bloody hell we must have run through Pakistan like a case of Dehli Bellyā¦
2nd ball I heard, on waking up, was Shakeel. 158-3. We then took 6 wickets in 10 overs.

202-5 at close, lead of 281. Brooks on 74, Stokes 16.
Another 100 from the last 5 wickets tomorrow would set it up nicely.
