Gay battles to unbeaten 30; Root lbw for 24

It is getting a bit grey.
They took a light reading yesterday to a similar time today, then they called the day off at 18:30 BST.
The light is better than it was yesterday to the naked eye.

A good shot. It's not the first time that Emilio Gay has impressed us with that lovely drive through the off side. Everything was so good.
Muhammad Abbas replaces Khurram Shahzad and Emilio Gay times the Pakistan seamer nicely through the covers for his fifth four of the innings.

Mark
Lead by 240
Harry Brook comes down the track to his next delivery, missing the ball completely - perhaps trying to get to the delivery before it moves.
No runs off the next ball either, that's a wicket maiden for Mohammad Ali.
Eng 60-3
Yep, big inside edge.
There'll be no chance of a hat-trick for Mohammad Ali.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Two in two. Harry Brook has referred it immediately.
And now a first-baller for Harry Brook?!
It's another strike on the pad, Brook is signalling for a review before the umpire's finger is fully raised.
That suggests he may have got bat on that.

A classic Joe Root dismissal.
That was why Root was disgusted. He knew he had got into a tangle again.
For such a great player, it is becoming a problem.
Root lbw b Mohammad Ali 24 (Eng 60-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesAll reds - Joe Root is out lbw once again.
All three of his dismissals in this series have come from a whack on the pad.
The keeper was back this time, Mohammad Ali struck anyway.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Joe Root walked off before and he is walking off again.
Emilio Gay is saying: 'Come back.'
This could be another lbw for Root.

Mohammad Ali strikes the England captain on the front knee roll and up goes the umpire's finger.
A pained-looking Root eventually decides to review.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
If another wicket fell it would be a setback for England, but not a major one.
Thanks Ffion.
The TV cameras have been focusing on a gentleman who had fallen asleep in the stands and is having a teetering tower of hats placed upon his head by his friends.
The surrounding crowd are delighted, the stewards less so.
Meanwhile Emilio Gay drops a shot way in front of the cordon, with the ball somehow breaking through and running away for four.
Image source, Getty ImagesIf the light stays good, we can play until 19:30, so here is Mike Peter to take you through the rest of the day.
Mohammad Ali strays on to Joe Root's pads and he tucks it away for a couple more and the players take a drinks' break.
Pakistan are looking weary in the field and there doesn't seem to be any danger of bad light (yet).
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
This is a gritty performance from Emilio Gay. He is fighting with fury.
And again.
There is a third slip in place for Emilio Gay but this time, his loose drive flies between there and gully.
It hasn't been the most fluent innings from Gay, but it has been determined.
Gay's boundary sees England pass 50 as lead grows

Image source, Getty ImagesThere is movement off the pitch.
The bounce has been more consistent, and there has been some lateral movement.
So far, Jamie Smith's 61 is the top score and we're into the third innings of the match.
Only two slips in place, and Joe Root edges exactly where a third would be.
It races away for four as Pakistan continue to toil.
