How ever boring the pitch has made most of this game, Ben Stokes is doing his best to combat it.

That's the best England test win I have seen in my life. Incredible to bowl them out on that pitch and Pakistan were going along nicely until the last session.

Just in the nick of time too. Sport at its best.

No highlights on terrestrial for the third test win in Pakistan - shocking omission.

A permanent shift in the approach to Test cricket - at this rate even the Americans might take to it - probably need a few more time outs mind.

Obviously not the England camp. Gone with four seamers and one spinner.

With our history of breaking spinners I can see why they haven’t wanted to throw in Ahmed (I would have) and once he’s not playing they didn’t have a lot of options with Livingstone being crocked.
They’re looking for Wood to be the point of difference as he was, so successfully in the short format series aren’t they?
Leach was poor I felt, some really good balls spoilt by some absolute pies!

Hats off to Jack Leach! What a turn around! Perhaps England knew all along! I wouldn’t want to be batting last on this pitch that’s for sure.
