... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

Earlier in the session, England relied on Jamie Smith to cut the deficit out but he fell soon in the day to Ali. However, England did got some handy runs from Jack Leach who attempted sweep and reverse sweep very well. His contribution helped England trail by just 75 runs. They came out with spin from both ends and got enough turn to grab three Pakistan wickets. Right then! An eventful first session. It is only going to get worse for Pakistan who have to show a lot of character as we feel England will keep the spin trio in attack for yet another session. 

Saim Ayub just doesn't want to leave the crease, he nicks right before Lunch and that means the game hangs in perfect balance with Pakistan stretching their lead to 118 runs but with the loss of three wickets. Shoaib Bashir takes all the wickets. He delivered perfectly throughout the session from one end while Ben Stokes rotated Leach and Root from the other side. Pakistan will be gutted by the loss of Ayub but they still have a healthy lead going into the break.

Shoaib Bashir to Saim Ayub, OUT! LAST BALL BEFORE LUNCH! Saim Ayub falls! Very full and drifting in on middle, spins away enough to grab the outside edge of Ayub who prods to defend, gets an outside edge to gully where Ollie Pope takes it low in front of him.
