  • Saqib Mahmood10-2-60-3

So England will need to break a chasing record here, by more than 50 runs, if they are to chase this down. It looks like a raker of a pitch, and England are still well in it. Pakistan, though, have given themselves a brilliant chance after a stodgy start. Will that sluggishness up top cost them, or has Babar's magnificence made up for it? Tune in in about 40 minutes to find out.

Carse to Saud Shakeel, 2 runs, smashed to midwicket. Man in the deep does well to cut it off, and Pakistan come back for a couple. That's it, they end on 331

Carse to Saud Shakeel, no run, takes the pace off and beats Shakeel all ends up

Will Pakistan be bowled out then? Here's Haris Rauf

Carse to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, he scoops it to mid-on, and it's a five-fer for Carse Four of them have come late, but you won't find him complaining. He's bowled well these past two overs and been rewarded

Shaheen Shah Afridi c Vince b Carse 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Carse to Saud Shakeel, 1 run, slower ball from Carse. Underedge from Shakeel - Shakeel! I had forgotten about him - gets him off strike

Eyd : "Mahamood gets a wicket in his first ball and last ball of the series"

Carse to Babar Azam, OUT, rise up, and applaud. One of Pakistan's classic innings comes to an end. Babar topedges that and a marvellous knock comes to an end. Babar Azam walks off to a standing ovation, having walked off for 158 off 139 balls. He raises his bat to acknowledge them, but he falls 15 short of 4,000 ODI runs

Babar Azam c Malan b Carse 158 (198m 139b 14x4 4x6) SR: 113.66

Carse to Babar Azam, FOUR, starts off with a slog past midwicket that beats the fielder. He's been off strike for a while but doesn't seem to have lost much of his touch

Mahmood to Shadab Khan, OUT, gone first ball! Had to go for it, and it gets a nice juicy outside edge, with Simpson taking the easiest of catches. Saqib picks up a couple of wickets to close out his spell, and England are pulling things back ever so slightly now

Shadab Khan c †Simpson b Mahmood 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Mahmood to Faheem Ashraf, OUT, cleans him up. Took the pace off the ball, and Faheem was through his shot a little too early. Sends the off peg cartwheeling, and Faheem's gone after a little cameo

Faheem Ashraf b Mahmood 10 (6m 4b 1x4 1x6) SR: 250.00

Shakir: "Sohaib's first ball 4, Hasan's first ball 4, Faheem's first ball 6..."
