Live Score: England vs Pakistan
...Day 3, final session...
So let's see how the English batters reply now. They would look to wipe off the deficit first today and then build on the lead. The Pakistani bowlers would be raring to go once again. Join us back in a bit after the Tea break for England's reply.
Anderson looked the most threatening bowler for England but the pacer was taken off the attack as he ran on the danger area multiple times. He got two wickets while his partner Broad got three wickets. Chris Woakes' remarkable summer continues as the all-rounder picked up three wickets which included big scalps such as Younis and Azhar Ali.
That's a good reply by Pakistan with the bat as they've got a handy lead of 103 runs. The foundation was laid perfectly by Azhar Ali and Sami Aslam yesterday as the duo stitched a 181-run stand. England came back hard today and kept on taking wickets at regular intervals. But that didn't stop Misbah from scoring another fifty. Sarfraz's handy knock towards the end helped Pakistan reach the 400-run mark.
OUT! TOO GOOD TO LEAVE! Good length delivery outside off, Rahat can't resist it and looks to defend it to the off side. He gets a regulation edge on it and sends it to Root at second slip for a sitter. That rounds up the innings and calls for TEA ON DAY 3!
Short on off, Sarfraz springs up and looks to pull it. He flat bats it over long on and the batsmen manage to take a triple.
Short and wide outside off, Sarfraz thinks to cut it but lets it through.
Length ball outside off, pushed through point.
Rahat Ali has been hit on the gloves and the physio is on the field having a look at it.
OUCH! Length ball outside off, Ahmed looks to push it off the front foot but the ball swings in and hits him on the gloves.
