    What a shot this is! Shahid Afridi eat your heart out.

    Watch out in the new building!

  3. 6 runs

    Pak 335-8

    Into the building site!

    Razaullah is quickly climbing the list of my favourite cricketers.

  4. Pak 329-8

    A defensive shot from Razaullah! Maybe this one is his blocking bat.

  5. Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    If this was the 1980s, we'd be getting nervous.

  6. Pak 329-8

    Muhammad Abbas joins the boundary hitting by swiping at a Josh Tongue slower ball.

    Pakistan's lead grows to nine.

  7. Pak 325-8

    Now Razaullah wants a new bat. This wild hack hasn't gone far enough.

    Pakistan's Razaullah plays a shot on day three of the third test match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston cricket ground in BirminghamGetty Images

    Razaullah was looking to do a Jamie Smith there and hit it all the way into the Hollies.

    It's fair to say that this is unorthodox batting from Razaullah.

  9. Pak 324-8

    He's swinging like he's aiming for Stourbridge.

  10. Pak 324-8

    Razaullah might put his shoulder out here.

  11. Pak 324-8

    Lead by 4

    There are two games going on. Muhammad Abbas is blocking Gus Atkinson at one end and Razaullah swinging at everything at the other.

    England will have a new ball in two overs.

    All the noise about any Pakistan resilience is frankly arbitrary. England have always been in total control of this Test and indeed the series. It’s just politeness. Encouraging signs is fine to suggest but Pakistan have been poor.

  13. Pak 324-8

    Lead by 4

    Razaullah is going to be good fun if he does have a long Pakistan career. Josh Tongue throws in a slower bouncer which I'm not sure the batter picked. Razaullah responds by practicing an extraordinary stroke that most resembles a tennis serve.

    What a strike!

    PAKISTAN MOVE INTO THE LEAD

    Razaullah nails a pull shot for six! The crowd cheers. England will bat again.

  16. Josh Tongue replaces Jofra Archer...

  17. Pak 318-8

    Trail by 2

    Gus Atkinson almost musters a smile. He had been the one England bowler not in the wickets before today.

    Muhammad Abbas defends his first two deliveries with Pakistan needing two runs to make England bat again.

    Former England captain on Test Match Special

    It's not often you see a couple of inside edges on the trot. Great grab from Jordan Cox.

    I don't think Gus Atkinson has bowled badly this series, he's just not picked up wickets.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Atkinson is beginning to join in now, after a lean series.

    WICKET

    Imran c Cox b Atkinson 4 (Pak 318-8)

    Another for Gus Atkinson and another good catch from Jordan Cox.

    Atkinson deserves this. The wickets are finally flowing for him. It's actually remarkably similar to the previous wicket - a nip-backer that takes an inside edge and is taken by Cox diving to his left.

    England are two away.
