Pakistan vs England Live Score 1st Test Day 3: England will resume at 96/1 on Day 3 of the 1st Test, trailing Pakistan by 460 runs in Multan. Zak Crawley's run-a-ball unbeaten 64 gave England a strong start after Pakistan posted a mammoth 556 in the first innings. Crawley was batting alongside former captain Joe Root, who not on 32, after skipper Ollie Pope's early dismissal. Pope had to bat up the order after opener Ben Duckett picked up an injury while taking a catch on Day 2. England need another 261 to avoid a follow-on -- a task eminently achievable on a pitch offering no help to bowlers. (Live Scorecard)

49.4WAamer Jamal to Ben Duckett
OUT! LBW! A loud shout for LBW and up goes the finger this time! Seeing Root insisting him to go upstairs, Ben Duckett reviews it straightaway and challenges the on-field decision. Jamal charges in from around the wickets and lands it on a good length, it jags back in a tinge after pitching and cuts Duckett in half. Ben Duckett is cramped up for room with his feet moving nowhere. He tries to play it across to the leg side but brings his bat down a bit late, hence, misses and wears it on the pad. UltraEdge shows nothing and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds as the ball crashes into the middle and leg stump on the projection. Ben Duckett departs on 84 off just 75 balls. Another English batter walks back to the dressing room remaining shy of the century. England are 249/3 now and also lose a review.
