Player of the MatchSajid Khan
That is all from this game. All to play for as we move to Rawalpindi for the final match. Join us at 5 am GMT for the coverage and earlier for the build up. The match starts on the 24th of this month, so, do join us. Till then, cheers!
Shan Masood says the first win is always special and it has come after some hard games. Mentions the team was brilliant and they executed a plan which they had made. States the team was hungry and this was a special win. Also says the change in strategy for them worked and the spinners were brilliant with the ball. Ends by saying Kamran Ghulam batted brilliantly under pressure and he hopes he can continue the good work.
Ben Stokes says there was no need to change the style of play. Mentions the conditions weren't easy but the guys who got starts should have gone on. Mentions the dropped catches proved vital and you need to take the chances that come your way. Credits their pacers were excellent with the ball and Potts and Carse showed great character. Informs the hamstring is doing good now and he's happy to get through the game. Ends by saying he's looking forward for the next game.
Sajid Khan, MAN OF THE MATCH. He says they have not been playing well in the past few series but this was a much needed win for Pakistan and thanks the crowd for the support. Tells Ali is one of the most experienced players and it does help to bowl with him. Mentions Agha played a crucial innings under pressure with tail.
England faced a stiff challenge chasing a big score on a wicket which was turning and they crumbled under the pressure. This time it was Noman Ali who was the pick. He finished with 8 and Sajid with two. The two spinners picked all 20 wickets and have helped Pakistan level the series.
Pakistan then began with a decent lead of 75 but lost regular wickets in their second innings. At one stage they were in a spot of bother 156 for 8. Agha though batted brilliantly with the tail and stretched their lead to almost 300.
England's top order began brilliantly though in reply, at one stage they were 211 for 2 but once Root and Duckett, the centurion for England fell, it went downhill for the visitors. Sajid Khan was the star for Pakistan as he finished with 7 wickets.
First it was Kamran Ghulam, on a tough wicket, after electing to bat, in a pressure situation, came out and scored a fine ton. He did get support from a few others but he was the mainstay and helped his side get to a score which we felt was par at that time.
That's a strong win for Pakistan! They have roared back in style to level the series! A lot of questions were raised when they left out their top guns but the new guys who came in have been absolutely brilliantly and are the ones who have helped them win the game.

All set for action. A crucial first hour coming up. The players are out in the middle. Root and Pope to resume their batting. Noman Ali to bowl first.
PITCH REPORT - Ramiz Raza is pitchside. He says it is going to be a tough day for the batters and says there will be a lot of traffic in the outside off area and Sajid Khan will target those areas. Shares Joe Root will be key on this pitch. Mentions the odds are stacked against England and Pakistan have a brilliant chance to comeback in the series.
Pakistan though will be aware of England’s mantra to go hard despite the circumstances but we saw 16 wickets fell on Day 3 with Sajid Khan claiming 7 and 3 wickets to Noman Ali’s name. They both, if bowl in similar manner could play a decisive role to help Pakistan level the series. However, England as told earlier will not shy away from their shots and will go for the glory. England have never chased down such a score in Asia. Can they break the record and seal the series or will we see a comeback from the hosts? Let’s find out. Also, rain is predicted throughout the day so let’s hope it stays away as this game is poised for an entertaining end.
Hello and welcome to the action of Day 4 between Pakistan and England. The equation is clear - Pakistan need 8 wickets to win while England need 262 runs. Effectively it’s Day 9 on this Multan pitch and the way demons are performing, we feel the Pakistan’s spinners will have the upper hand but one thing this England team cleared the air is by sending Root after Crawley’s wicket and not a night watchman. That just shows how driven this England team is for the win and expect a lot of sweep and will try and dictate the game right from the first ball.
...DAY 4, SESSION 1...
England really need these two, Pope and Root to steady things a little. Both have started positively but England still need over 250. Knowing them, they would still back themselves but they'll have to bat really well on a wicket which is playing tricks. Pakistan on the other hand, will rely on their spinners to help them level the series. Hitting the right lines and lengths is all they have to do. Day 4 can well be the last day of the Test so do join us for it. The action begins at (0500 AM) GMT. Till then, goodbye and take care!
A fine day for Pakistan and they're the side which will enter Day 4 on top! After Agha's excellent knock along with the tail, he stretched his side's lead to close to 300. England had around 10 overs to play and they have lost two wickets in it. Both the openers are back in the hut and it is the spin twins who have got one each.
