The equation is simple, Pakistan need another 157 runs and England need to pick the remaining two wickets. It is all about one partnership for the hosts whereas for England, they'll be hoping they can keep striking on regular intervals like they have been doing. Will it end 1-1 or will England seal the series.
... DAY 4, SESSION 1 ..
Now Pakistan bat deep but their batting is quite fragile, they would know one more big partnership is all they need to put England under huge pressure. For England, they will come out all fresh on Day 4 and also with the second new ball available in a few overs, they will believe they can record a famous win. Do join us to what promises to be an enthralling 4th and also could well be the last day of the Test. The action begins at 1015 IST (0515 GMT). The build-up begins a lot earlier. Till then, take care and goodbye!
It has been a day of fight backs. After bowling out England earlier in the day, Pakistan began really well with the bat. It was Rizwan who opened due to an injury to Imam and he along with Abdullah Shafique gave the hosts a good start. However, things changed immediately after Lunch as Pakistan lost three in no time and were pushed on the back foot. Saud and Imam though then put up a 100-plus stand with both scoring half tons to turn the tide in their side's favor. Pakistan surely would have ended the day on top had they not lost Imam but it was Leach who had the last laugh by getting the left-hander late in the day.
Well, the umpires yet again feel the light is not good enough to continue and off the players and the umpires go! THAT SHOULD BE STUMPS! This game is brilliantly poised for Day 4! Pakistan need 157 and England need 6 wickets. Probably England will feel they have the upper hand but we feel, Pakistan have a really good chance here.
