It was the perfect decision by Joe Root to review and get the spinner on. Dan Lawrence got a wicket to add to his 65. His summer is gonna go underrated, he’s had a brilliant summer.

'Heard it, saw it, reviewed it' - Root's important intervention
Just the one wicket in the morning session so far after Azan Awais feathered one down the leg side.
Joe Root had the wise sense to review it after it was initially given not out.

This is one of those rare times when sure most of us are hoping the opposition has success and racks up a big total? No one wants three day Tests all the time and the team needs to learn to deal with real pressure. I hope Pakistan bat all day!

Pakistan have played with a little bit more commitment. They've just played better Test cricket this morning with the bat. It's been good to see on the one hand, but another part of me just laments that they took so long to find this rhythm.
That's lunch.
Some tremendous fighting spirit from Pakistan.
Babar Azam cashes in on a half volley from Harry Brook and thumps it through the covers for four.
No-nonsense strokeplay from the Pakistan skipper.

Surely it's a yabbadabbafew?
James, Manchester
Yabba-Dabba-Crew of Freds surely.
David, Twickenham
Doff my cap on that one, Chambo.
It is Harry Brook and he strikes Shan Masood on the pad and appeals wildly - it's all a bit theatrical, though, and Pakistan pick up a leg bye.

I wonder how the contingent of Pakistan cricket fans accumulated in UAE feel about the Freds; apparently the people in Dubai don't like the Flintstones, but the people in Abu Dhabi do! (I'll get my coat as well).
Chambo, St. Andrews
Ollie Robinson hits Babar Azam on the pad with the second ball of his latest over, turns and appeals, only for umpire Paul Reiffel to signal a no-ball.
Harry Brook is limbering up... A bit of right-arm filth just before lunch?

How about a Yabbadabbadoo of Flinstones?
Marin, Matlock
Must be a quarry of Freds?

He's going at 5.2 runs per over in this series, he's picked up 17 wickets averaging 15 with a strike-rate of 17, but the economy rate was the highest of an England bowler currently who's bowled 30 or more overs in a Test series.

He might have saved three runs there umpire Reiffel! It was hit so firmly that the umpire couldn't get out of the way.
Arguably shot of the day from Babar Azam, who is oozing class here.
The Pakistan captain times a straight drive to perfection off Josh Tongue's first delivery and the ball whizzes past the stumps all along the carpet and to the boundary.
That made a lovely crisp sound off the bat.
Final ball of the over and Paul Reiffel does not inadvertent fielding at square leg to prevent a Shan Masood flick being worth anything more than a single.
England's man of the summer, Ollie Robinson, tossed the ball by Joe Root.
With Jordan Cox stood up his third delivery slips behind for four leg byes.
Cox whips off the bails to the final ball of the over but Shan Masood is in his ground.

Surely a Cavern of Freds...?

A pedalo of Flintstones.

It's just been so easy for England in the five previous innings they've bowled against Pakistan. At some stage, they were going to have a partnership.

Image source, ReutersIt's an excellent start from Babar Azam really timing the ball beautifully. It's his kind of a pitch with a low bounce now and the balls have not really reared from that length also, so these are good batting conditions and he's off to a very, very good start.
Effortless from Babar Azam, who again flicks Josh Tongue square for a boundary.
Babar playing the percentages here - content to see out the next five balls without scoring.
Day four ticket holders will be feeling a little bit more optimistic as we head towards lunch.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special
Image source, ReutersThis is good from Shan Masood. Finding his mojo and very committed to the cause. He's playing with a lot of instincts and he's completely at ease. Now should be his time to go for that 100.
