Live Score England vs Pakistan, Day 3
Alastair Cook has decided that they will bat and set a target for the visiting side. Do join us in a bit as we have the two English openers sharing the crease.
After Moeen Ali took the wicket of Misbah on 52, it was all about Wahab who kept playing his big strokes and tried his best to reduce the gap of their large trail. Eventually, Ali took his wicket too. The hosts have decided to bat despite Pakistan trailing by 391. A bizarre call from the home side.
Finally, England have managed to wrap up the Pakistani 1st innings. The 9th wicket stand between Misbah and Wahab nearly made England fight for 15 overs after Lunch to give away their wicket. The duo stitched 60 runs together by playing sensibly and hitting away the loose balls.
OUT! Tossed up around off, Riaz comes forward and lofts it over mid-wicket. The ball is airborne nearly all the way but dips back to the ground inside the boundary and into the waiting hands of Alex Hales at deep mid-wickdet. ENGLAND LEAD BY 391 AND ELECT TO BAT AGAIN!
Good delivery on off, Riaz has played that off the front foot and into the ground.
Riaz fails to put bat on ball.
