England need 130 to win third Test and complete 3-0 series clean sweep
Third Test, day four, Edgbaston
Need 36 more runs to win
It seems England are going to win this comfortable but there was real jeopardy when England were 2-2.
Pakistan's chances of WinViz have dropped by 20% since then.
Two wickets in the first over - Abbas gives Pakistan perfect start
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special
That cheer either means there's been a streaker or overthrows. It's an overthrow.
Someone has hurled that for four. England will take that.
Target 130
Ah. It's really drifting away now for Pakistan.
Joe Root blocks into the leg side and then the fielder just lobs the ball up over the keeper. There's no-one backing up so it's four more knocked off the total.

Emilio Gay hasn't nailed down his chance, but nobody wants a new opener in the Ashes. He either has to be backed for 20 games or get the highest scoring division one opener in over the winter and have a look at them at Test level.

Why is Babar Azam not bowling his spinner? Muhammad Abbas' spell is finally at an end but instead the Pakistan skipper turns to his fourth seamer in Mohammad Imran.

The pressure is surely easing on England now.
Need 51 more runs to win
Jordan Cox can order his Rand. He has to go on England's winter tour.
His latest boundary is a perfect drive between the bowler and mid-off.

Muhammad Abbas averages 20 with the ball in Test cricket with those fielders backing him up! What would it be if they were any good at fielding?
Mark, Dublin
Need 59 more runs to win
A surprise bouncer from Muhammad Abbas leaks five wides when it goes over Joe Root and the wicketkeeper's head.
As a result, the half-full Hollies belts out a rendition of Livin' On a Prayer.
As Jon Bon Jovi said, England are more than halfway there.
Michael Vaughan

Image source, PA MediaThis is a really good stroke. Jordan Cox uses that right hand to manoeuvre the ball through the gap. Perfect timing.
Cox has a bit of class. He's certainly going to have a decent career at this level.
Need 66 more runs to win
"It's time for spin," says Stuart Broad on Sky as Jordan Cox flicks with plenty of time to mid-wicket.
Had Razaullah not done what he did yesterday, Cox may not have got this second bat in the Test. Now he's got it he's reminding everyone just how impressive he was in the first innings of the first two Tests.
These would be runs when the team needed them most. Always useful.

Pakistan are the worst at slip I've seen in Tests.
Asif, Pakistan
And we seem to be back to the Pakistan we've seen this summer. Shame, it could have been interesting.
Conor, Scotland
That's Joe Root's second life. This was his first...
Root's lucky escape - no-ball saves England captain
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on Test Match Special
When someone drops a catch you can accept it as a bowler but for both of them to just look at each other and let it go through, Muhammad Abbas is not happy.
Wow! Muhammad Abbas is furious.
It's because Joe Root has edged the ball in the air right between first and second slip. Neither of them go for it and Abbas tells them exactly what he thinks of it.
Muhammad Abbas continues after drinks...
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on Test Match Special
Razaullah is going to have to come back into the attack to try and crack open the game for them. It's gone a bit quiet for them and that wicket for Joe Root would've been big.
I think that'll be something we'll be looking back at later.
Need 79 more runs to win
As drinks come onto the field, WinViz now has England at 96%. The last option Pakistan have open to them is the spin of Saim Ayub.
