Warming up nicely.
Pakistan are 209/5 and need another 134.
New ball available in about 17 overs. |  |

Whatever you may think about England's approach, it has turned a very flat, non-turning pitch into a likely result wicket. [Post edited 5 Dec 2022 8:46]

Indeed.
The commentators mentioned, this morning, the test played earlier this year between Pakistan and Australia at the same ground. Fourteen wickets fell in the five days. | |

Yes, 230/5 now. Both the 113 runs Pakistan need and the five wickets that England do feel a long way away at the moment. Some hints of reverse swing with this ball though.
Day 5 of a Test match, both sides can still win it. It's been good however this finishes, suspect Pakistan just have the edge as England's seamers tire though. |  |

FFS, that ball tracking looks odd. No-one genuinely believed that wasn't out including Salman.
256/5 still but a wicket then changed the game again. | |

Not a good time to need to go out on a visit. By the time I'm back it will be over one way or another. What's the light situation? Very rarely do you get a full 2hr post tea session in Pakistan. |  |

The side angle shows why that ball was deemed to be over the top.
Long shadows on the pitch at the moment but hard to tell from TV view. I suspect the batsmen will want to play on, why getting down to the bowlers might at least save the match if it comes to it. | |

the light decision is no longer down to the batsmen. The umpires take a reading on the first day that they go off for bad light, and then they use that as the trigger for the rest of the match. So once the light hits that level, it will finish. We won't ever get something like that famous test with Thorpe et al, playing in the dark, because Pakistan slowed it down so much. It couldn't happen today. |  |

That's true, although if the batsmen want to go off they do tend to ask the umpires to check every over.
Still, there is a wicket at last. 259/6.... | |

That is a brilliant win, a very real chance of losing this in the afternoon but England just kept going. Anderson, Robinson and Stokes were all immense. | |

Fantastic win on a pitch that offered literally nothing to the bowlers! | | | |
