Pakistan will etch their name in history if they ever manage to pull this one off! Brilliant batting by Jones. Matty Prior might have to wait after all.

Youhana gone

Youhana departs as bowling change works well for England
Yousuf Youhana has been dismissed for 18, after he was surprised by a high rising delivery from Hoggard, and hit it straight to Kevin Pietersen at mid wicket.

The bowling change has worked well for Michael Vaughan, and with three wickets down already, any chance Pakistan had of chasing the mammoth target is laid to rest.

The world's number two team are sensing a comprehensive victory here.

Pakistan FOW 63-3
Yousuf Youhana c Kevin Pietersen b Matthew Hoggard 18(32)

Pakistan need another 363 runs to win, 7 wickets in hand

Younis Khan OUT

Double strike for Hoggard!!
Younis Khan has come and gone after lasting just two balls in the middle. Khan tried to drive a fullish delivery, mistimed the shot, and could only manage to find a diving Steve Harmison at cover-point. Matthew Hoggard picks up two wickets in one over as things turn from bad to worse for Pakistan.

Pakistan FOW 63-4
Yousuf Youhana c Steve Harmison b Matthew Hoggard 0(2)

Pakistan need another 363 runs to win, 6 wickets in hand

 

[Bala]

Irresponsible shots played by the Pakistani batsmen. Downright pathetic. England are going to win comfortably here!
