Pakistan vs England 1st Test Highlights: England thrash Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs

Welcome back for the start of the third session. The two umpires and the players are out in the centre. It will be Chris Woakes to kickstart proceedings with the red cherry. Woakes to Ayub first up. Let's play...

... DAY 4, SESSION 3 ...

England will know they need to convert every chance that comes their way on this surface, which we have seen ease out as the ball loses its hardness. They will also be aware of Pakistan's recent frailties in the third innings, with their last three scores reading 115, 172, and 146, leading to losses on all three occasions. With the ball still only six overs old, the pacers are likely to have a significant say, and England will be hoping to strike early. For Pakistan, the focus will be on starting well and building momentum from there. Do join us back at 10 am GMT for the third and final session of the day.

Generally, teams tend to come out fresh after a break, but that wasn’t the case for Pakistan, who looked deflated and seemed to be merely waiting for the English batters to make mistakes. The English batters continued to put them to the sword, and when it was Pakistan’s turn to bat, they got off to the worst possible start, losing Abdullah Shafique on the very first ball. It could have been an even tougher situation for Pakistan, as Shan Masood was dropped twice, both tough chances that could have swung the momentum further in England's favour.

End of an eventful session of Test cricket, one that thoroughly belonged to England. Heading into the second session, expectations were that the visitors would put their foot down, and they certainly did, with Harry Brook leading the charge. While Joe Root fell short of a triple century, Brook seized the moment, racing his way to a maiden triple hundred. With Brook showing no signs of slowing down, the incoming batters had the license to come out swinging, and they did just that. England eventually declared their innings at 823 with a lead of 267 runs.
