  1. Pak 365-8

    Lead by 45

    Joe Root is still smiling just about but the frustration is building. Muhammad Abbas has just looked away, leant back and sliced the ball over the slips.

    Ollie Robinson is doing some stretches.

    Razaullah is quite a discovery! Going to be around for a while I hope.

  3. Pak 360-8

    Lead by 40

    85 is the lowest score ever defended in the fourth innings of a men's Test, if you're a worried England fan and following.

  4. Pak 358-8

    Eh?! A reverse sweep for four from Muhammad Abbas...

  5. Dan Lawrence is continuing after drinks with the new ball.

    If Josh Tongue bowls it full and absolutely straight, I think he's got a chance here. Razaullah's pacing around in the crease, like a man furiously chopping down a tree with a large axe.

  7. Drinks - Pak 354-8

    Lead by 34

    Somehow the remainder of Josh Tongue's over results in five dots, despite Razaullah continuing to swing at everything. Tongue doesn't quite get his accuracy right to knock over the stumps.

  8. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    England have got to bowl the off-stump line to Razaullah. Let him flinch, let him move around. What they're trying to do is just follow him and that has not really given England the desired result. He's got 32 off nothing.

  9. Pak 354-8

    Very good, Steven...

    England getting Razballed here!

  11. How's stat?!

    Razaullah of Pakistan hits a six during the third day of the third Rothesay Test between England and Pakistan at EdgbastonGetty Images

    Razaullah has hit 19 sixes in his first-class career and averages a six every 25 balls faced.

  12. new ball

    New ball taken

    England have now taken the second new ball. In come the slips and a gully.

  13. Pak 350-8

    Lead by 30

    It's a bit too flat from Dan Lawrence. The closest England come to a wicket is after a mix-up between these two lower-order batters. Both of them end up running without their bat.

  14. Pak 349-8

    England aren't taking the new ball - not yet at least. Joe Root, instead, is going to see what Razaullah does against the spin of Dan Lawrence.

    I don't hate it.

  15. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Razaullah had four sixes in the first 20 balls. Only four others have done this and only one against England, Lance Cairns. The only other Pakistan player to do it is Misbah-ul-Haq.

  16. Pak 349-8

    Lead by 29

    The new ball is now available to England. Razaullah might just hit it even further.

  17. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    I think a slow ball can do the damage here.

  18. Pak 348-8

    Joe Root has come down for a chat with Josh Tongue to try and regain some sense of calm. Razaullah has 30 from 19 balls.

    I think Razaullah is my new favourite cricketer! No fear and a great attitude, well played young man!

    Jon, Leeds

    Razaullah is serious hitter with the bat. Impressive!

    Three in the over! Razaullah stands and admires the shot after clubbing Gus Atkinson over mid-wicket.
