I Wasim to J Roy, OUT! IMAD WASIM WITH THE BREAKTHROUGH! And a much needed one too, England were really turning it up here. A full ball fired in on middle, Jason Roy gets himself into position early and looks to play the reverse sweep. He misses and is hit on the pads. Immediately loud appeals for a leg before go around and the umpire takes no time to raise his finger. The replays show that the ball would go on to clip leg and that's an important wicket for Pakistan.

I Wasim to A Hales, OUT! IMAD WASIM WITH ANOTHER ONE! The lad is doing well here, isn't he? Fires in a full ball right on middle stump, it's flat as well, Hales gets down to sweep this away but misses the ball. The middle stump is rocked and now, both openers are back in the pavilion.

H Ali to Joe Root, OUT! ROOT IS GONE! England now find themselves in some trouble here. Wickets have tumbled in quick succession. Hasan Ali bangs in a short one outside off, Root hops and upper cuts this towards third man. He's in no control of this shot though as the ball just lobs up. Shoaib Malik positioned there comes running in and takes a good catch.

W Riaz to Jos Buttler, OUT! WAHAB RIAZ GETS THE DANGERMAN! What a big, big wicket that is for Pakistan. And it's the big left-armer who does the trick. He's pumped. Length ball around off, Buttler just lofts this over covers after going deep in his crease. He doesn't get all of it and it's straight down the throat of Amad Butt. England have suffered a big blow with that and now find themselves in some real trouble.

W Riaz to E Morgan, OUT! WAHAB WITH ANOTHER ONE! Excellent delivery that. Great line and cramped Morgan for room there. Just back of a length and around off, Morgan with no room at all looks to cut this away and ends up getting an edge. It flies behind to Sarfraz Ahmed who pouches it with ease to dismiss his counterpart. Wahab Riaz with two important breakthroughs today.

H Ali to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT! A huge wicket for Pakistan. Short on middle and off, Stokes stands tall and pulls it through mid-wicket. He gets too much of the bottom hand in that shot and the ball gets a little too much air. Babar Azam in the deep has ample time to get into position and takes an easy two-handed catch. England are not looking too good now.

W Riaz to D Willey, OUT! 3-FER FOR WAHAB RIAZ! He's been spectacular here today. Fuller ball outside off, Willey gives it the full swing of his bat. Gets a thick top edge as the ball skies towards long off. Shoaib Malik there comes running in and takes a good catch to dismiss the batsman.

A Rashid to S Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! That ends a brilliant innings by Sharjeel! Full outside off, Sharjeel looks to slog it over the leg side. He gets a top edge though and Moeen Ali is able to get underneath that running behind from short cover and take a good two-handed catch. Excellent knock from the opener. He's out, but he's most certainly done the job here for his team.
