dead wicket atm - should only get themselves out. Question of building partnerships - Pakistan took a lot of easy singles and twos before opening up a bit once they had a score. If it gets to the tail then got to bat smart like Pakistan did - added over a 100 for last three wickets.
Long tail if Duckett is properly hurt.

Hard to classify this strictly as "Bazball" as so few boundaries but generally just smart, positive cricket. Interesting to see how they play it tomorrow.

Second test in Multan too. Get a lead of 250ish and hope Pakistan do what they do best.

Just relentless batting. Not sure there's enough either in the pitch or English bowling to bowl Pakistan out again.

not sure what the plan is here, have they decided a draw is inevitable so they're going for 1,000 runs

given how the pitch has played so far can't imagine there's much chance of them bowling out Pakistan in a day. maybe they think they'll be so tired they'll be throwing wickets away

Not done a lot of work this morning listening to this. Gotta be a declaration once Brook has beaten Lara’s record?

What's the feel?
Still slightly up with 4 wickets left, a long day or a result?
Amazed to see 800+ runs for first innings but now it's day5 of 5

It's an impressive win but Pakistan choked. That Woakes first baller probably did a lot of psychological damage having watched England score for fun. Also 800 shouldn't be a score on any wicket really.

Crickets such a mental game. Obviously a very flat pitch and easy to score runs but when there’s suddenly pressure to see out four sessions, the whole mentality can change. Impressive to force a win by scoring so quickly

Can't imagine there's ever been a game where going into the third innings you were more certain of a draw being inevitable

Guess you could put the first couple of wickets down to fatigue after being in the field in ridiculous heat for so long but someone should have been able to dig in and stick around on that pitch

What's that the 4 or 5th test they've won when the opposition have posted over 500? That takes a special mentality because 500 is a big score no matter the pitch. It's poor from Pakistan to crumble as i don't think our bowling attack is that strong atm. Also they're at home they should know how to bat on their pitches.

They've added spinners so could be back on that 1st Test wicket - probably need Bashir

Yer, bringing back Stokes to bowl on a road doesn't sound like the best plan.

Using the same pitch has never happened in Test cricket before...

Edit: Seamers swapped out Stokes, Potts replace Woakes, Atkinson in England XI

I think the Pakistan ladies fielding coach might be getting the sack three easy dropped catches in one over.

I know Fatima took the last one but if i do better than her and i'm 3 times here age,most of the dropped catches were straight to the fielder,their last bowler could have had a "fiver" if only.

They just said they dropped eight in total and all the batters bar one were dropped. It was pathetic.

Did you see the 2 fielders run into each other trying to stop the ball? Some of the fielding in the tournament has been comedy gold

They've got to score 111 in 10.4 overs to qualify for semi final but looks like they're trying to get all out in 10.4 overs

Don't know why the umpire called for the third umpire for that stumping blind as some of the officals we have had at the CBS.

Watching the England ladies perform terribly in the field, bowling all over the place and some shocking fielding. I haven’t watched them for a while but they look like they have been enjoying themselves they look very unfit and some are carrying a lot of timber.
