    Razaullah's rampage continues.

  2. Not out

    Cheers on the Pakistan balcony. Cheers in the stands.

    Razaullah is beaming.

  3. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    I've got no idea.

  4. This might be missing leg stump, you know...

  5. Pakistan review

    Razaullah is given lbw! He was walking off before remembering he can review.

  6. 6 runs

    Pak 449-9

    Well there's one of the sixes Razaullah needs. It's into the hotel again - possibly the second floor.

    81 not out.

  7. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    England have got it horribly wrong. They went with the body line strategy, hardly bowled anything straight and delivered no slow deliveries. Against tail, pace off slow deliveries is the key.

  8. What does Razaullah do now? Try to get to his hundred this over?

    There's four minutes left in the day.

  9. Pak 443-9

    Lead by 123

    Mohammad Ali's Test batting average? 1.87. He does survive until the end of the over.

    Well played Pakistan BUT England are also guilty of hubris in thinking the job was done...

    David Downey, Limerick

    It’s okay bowling to a plan but surely when a plan doesn’t work you try a new plan!

    Teevor, Norfolk

    This much lauded England attack made to look worse than average by the ragtag in disarray Pakistan tailenders. SA & AUS batters will be a) shaking in their boots or b) drawling in anticipation? Your choice !

    Rob, Suffolk

  11. Pak 443-9

    Survive? Mohammad Ali backs away and swings Josh Tongue for four in hideous fashion.

  12. Mohammad Ali now has five balls to survive in the over...

  13. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    Well it's a tremendous innings and a great partnership. That has given Pakistan an outside chance.

  14. Aatif Nawaz
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What an innings Muhmmed Abbas has played. He's entertained everyone royally here. A little bit too aerial that time.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Abbas c Atkinson b Tongue 42 (Pak 439-9)

    Finally. Josh Tongue holds his arms wide and looks to the sky.

    An extraordinary partnership of 121 ends as Muhammad Abbas cuts to point. England breathe a little easier, although their job is not done yet.

  16. Pak 439-8

    Razaullah 75, Abbas 42

    This is where England's seamers have bowled to Razaullah...

  17. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Razaullah has hit as many sixes as Geoffrey Boycott did in his 108-Test career.

  18. Another bowling change. England turn back to Dan Lawrence. Showman Razaullah has taken his helmet off.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    What an extraordinary afternoon this has been.

  20. Pak 437-8

    Lead by 117

    There is some luck involved, obviously, but there are some smarts in there too from Muhammad Abbas. He pushes at the ones he thinks he can control and ducks those up around his head.
