Matt Parkinson to Saud Shakeel
OUT! End of Saud Shakeel and it's the final nail in the coffin of Pakistan. Matt Parkinson once again gives it a good toss and tempts the batsman. It lands full around middle and Saud kneels to smoke it over mid-wicket and into the stands. But to his bad luck, his shot doesn't have enough distance and it falls straight down the throat of Craig Overton near the fence. A dejected Shakeel walks back but he has shown to his teammate that it was doable.

SHAHEEN IS SAFE! The number 10 runs out of patience after leaving the last two balls. Shortish ball outside off, Afridi tries to force it off his back foot but fails to make any connection. Is there some noise? England seem interested and go for the DRS. The Ultra Edge shows a flat line. Waste of a review but that doesn't matter too much at this stage.

OUT! WHAT A GREAT REFLEX CATCH BY SIMPSON! Good anticipation shown by the English keeper and his little piece of brilliance has given England the seventh wicket. A floated leg spinner, landing full around leg, Faheem goes down and across to play the paddle sweep. Simpson senses that and moves across to his right swiftly. It takes the edge of Ashraf's bat and lobs behind where Simpson is ready to catch it with his big gloves. Pakistan are nearing a series defeat now.

NOT OUT! Brilliant bowling by Parkinson. He dishes out a googly around off and gets it to spin away from the forward defensive prod of Shakeel. It beats the outside edge and Simpson is quick to dislodge the bails. They appeal and it's referred upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the outside edge which is absent and then goes on to check for the stumping. The replays show that Shakeel's back leg is inside the line.

Craig Overton to Sohaib Maqsood
OUT! The blossoming partnership for Pakistan has been nipped in the bud. Sohaib probably got carried away with his attacking instinct. Overton persists with a shortish length delivery, close to off, Maqsood spots the opportunity to once again muscle a horizontal bat shot but this time the bounce gets big on his bat and the ball catches the top edge. The English keeper John Simpson circles around it by moving across to his right and takes the catch safely, well almost safely. End of entertainment from the bat of Maqsood. 162 needed more but only 5 wickets left in the bank for the tourists.

OUT! Sound of timber! Fakhar Zaman has been put out of his misery. End of a very uncharacteristic knock by Fakhar, it had struggle written all over it. Credit to England to keep the batsman of Zaman's caliber quiet. Overton bowled a delivery that held its line before this one and on this occasion, a length ball lands around off and nips back in off the seam. Fakhar thinks of playing a full-blooded drive but leaves a big gap between his bat and pad. The ball sneaks through to shatter his stumps and somewhat Pakistan's chances in this game. 195 needed off 199 balls.
