ENG823/7
England Batting B Carse 9(6) C Woakes 17(16)

0
149.6: Saim Ayub to Brydon Carse, Good length at the stumps. Carse pushes it back at the bowler. And, finally, Ollie Pope the stand-in English skipper signals for a declaration. Pakistan batted for 149 overs, and scored 556, while England batted for just one over more, and have mounted up a mammoth total breaching the 800-run mark.

1
149.5: Saim Ayub to Chris Woakes, Full-length delivery at the stumps. Woakes drills it down to long off for a run.

0
149.4: Saim Ayub to Chris Woakes, That has gone through everyone! Some genuine bit of turn for Saim Ayub, pitched full and spins away from outside off, Chris Woakes swooshes his bat to go inside out over the off side, but misses and the ball even beats Rizwan to run down to deep third for four byes. A lazy chase by Naseem from the inner ring and the ball has enough wheels to race through. The English spinners, Bashir and Leach won't mind this happening on a Day 4 pitch of Multan. The ball has shown signs of grip and turn today.

0
149.3: Saim Ayub to Chris Woakes, Slow and on leg stump, Chris Woakes sits down to sweep but wears it on the pads.

2
149.2: Saim Ayub to Chris Woakes, Full, pushed through on off, Chris Woakes dances down to the pitch and drives it inside out through covers for a couple of runs.

148.6: Naseem Shah to Brydon Carse, A yorker on off, Brydon Carse skips down the track and bends low, extends his arms and manages to shovel it out to deep point for a single.

1

4
148.4: Naseem Shah to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Glorious shot that! Swings it away from off, on a good length, Chris Woakes shuffles to create width and slashes it over cover-point for a cracking boundary.

1
148.3: Naseem Shah to Brydon Carse, Hard length, on middle, clipped away to deep mid-wicket for a single.

1

ENG805/7
England Batting B Carse 6(2) C Woakes 6(8)

6
147.6: Saim Ayub to Brydon Carse, SIX! And with this, the 800 comes up for England! Only the 4th team to do so in this format! Full outside the off stump. Carse dances down the track and reaches for it, lofting it over widish long off for a six.

0
147.5: Saim Ayub to Brydon Carse, Full on the stumps. This is pushed back to the bowler.

0
147.4: Saim Ayub to Gus Atkinson, OUT! TAKEN! And suddenly, wickets have started to tumble! Babar redeems himself after a dropped catch but since then, a lot of damage has been done! Full, flat and quick outside off. Atkinson lunges ahead for an expansive drive over covers but doesn't get the timing right, goes off the toe end and flat to Babar at covers who leaps and takes it with his right hand over his head. Two wickets in the over for Saim Ayub. England are now 799/7, leading by 243 runs.

2
147.3: Saim Ayub to Gus Atkinson, Full on the middle stump. Atkinson leans on to block it forward, and gets an inside edge through short fine for a couple.

0
147.2: Saim Ayub to Harry Brook, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! End of a marathon knock from Harry Brook! He departs for a spectacular 317 off 322 balls. He scored almost run-a-ball throughout his innings which is a huge achievement under such an unforgiving heat of Multan. Gets an appreciation from the dugout and Rizwan too, pats him on the back in admiration. Coming to the ball, it is a fuller one, turning in a bit, on the leg stump line, Harry Brook sits down on his knee to sweep it away but is a bit early into the shot and hence, a healthy top edge is found that lobs straight towards Shan Masood at short fine leg who takes a simple catch.

2
147.1: Saim Ayub to Harry Brook, Flighted ball, on off and middle. Brook comes down the track and spanks it to the left of long on for a couple of runs.

End of over 149
PAK556/10
Pakistan Batting A Ahmed 3(8) S Agha 104(119)

0
148.6: Joe Root to Abrar Ahmed, OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, England have bowled out Pakistan after 149 overs. Root flattens the trajectory and quickens the pace of the ball, and angles it across the batter like a bumper. Abrar Ahmed is hurried into the shot as he arches back and looks to guide it down to deep third but it bounces a bit more. Abrar is late to slash it and it goes off the higher part and straight to Ben Duckett at the first slip who is quick to react and takes a very sharp catch by stretching his hands in the direction of the ball. Duckett though immediately signals to the dressing room and looks in huge discomfort. He probably has dislocated his left thumb. Pakistan end their first innings on 556.

2
148.5: Joe Root to Abrar Ahmed, IN THE AIR AND LANDS SAFE! Root tosses it up, on the stumps, Abrar charges down and heaves it downtown for a couple of runs behind mid on.

147.4: Jack Leach to Abrar Ahmed, IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Oh, my word! Slower through the air, on middle and turning away, Abrar Ahmed sits down for a sweep but is months early into the shot. Goes through and slices it up in the air over mid-wicket. Gus Atkinson backtracks it with a bit of a laboured chase, goes on to grab it with hard hands and drops an easy sitter. Allows one.
