2.20pm Misbah leads his team off the field. Tea has been taken early. Looks like Pakistan will bat again. No official confirmation, though. They lead by 228 runs. We'll be back in about 15 minutes.

Vishal Pawar: "Can we have another Bishoo fifer to make this game interesting? Fingers crossed!"

Manish Sharma: "I think holder should promote himself up in the batting order. He is more consistent than other batsmen. It will provide more stability to the batting line up."

Yasir Shah to Gabriel, OUT, Sohail grabs the catch at mid-on, Yasir finishes with four, WI wrapped up for 224. Yasir bowls it slower, and gives it more air.
