England vs Pakistan Live Updates, 3rd Test Day 4: Pakistan Eye Quick Wickets To Avoid Clean Sweep vs England

Just short! Mohammad Abbas lands this back of a length and on off, holds its line. Joe Root has a poke at it but gets an outside edge. It flies towards first slip but drops just in front of Abdullah Shafique, who dives to his right to get a hand on it.

Fuller in length, on middle, shaping in, Joe Root clips it off the inner half of the bat through square leg for a couple of runs.

England look to have weathered the early storm. Root's composure is starting to show out in the middle. Also, Razaullah is walking off the field, probably to get some treatment on his bleeding finger.

Short of a length and just outside off, Joe Root waits for it and cuts it through backward point for one.

Hits the deck hard, on middle, Joe Root gets behind the line of it and blocks it out.

A little bit of a delay, as Razaullah has called for the physio. His middle finger on his right hand is bleeding. May have got a cut or something. It is getting strapped up now. Oh, okay, the replays show he lost his footing on the follow-through and grazed his fingers on the ground. Michael Atherton compares it to the sort of mishap Mark Wood or Steven Finn have often had before.

Bangs in a bouncer at 140 kph, just outside off, Joe Root shoulders arms to it.

Beaten! Bowls from a wider angle, does Abbas. On a length, and nipping away, outside off, Root looks to defend off the back foot but the ball whistles past the outside edge.

Skiddy delivery on a good length, Root stands up on the toes, plays it late, as he usually does and eases it backward point.

Back of a length, nipping in a wee bit. Joe lets the ball come at him and dabs it to the point region.

A touch full and straight, on off, Joe Root presents full face of the bat and blocks it out.

FOUR! Flies just over the fielder! Outswinger on a fuller length, outside the off stump, plenty of width on offer. Cox gets on the front foot, and slices it off the outer portion of his bat. Gets enough elevation to hit it over the leaping backward point fielder, Azan Awais, for a boundary.

A bit too straight onto the pads, on a length. Root plays off the back foot and nudges it to long leg for a single.

Cannons it on a fuller length, bringing the stumps to play. Root strokes it back at the bowler off the front foot.

FOUR! A bit of a loosener! Short and wide, Root arches back, uses the pace and square cuts it over backward point for a boundary. England need 113 runs.
