00:30Hello and welcome to day 3 of the first test between Pakistan and England.
00:35Pakistan put up a massive effort in their first innings, winning the toss, putting 556
00:40on the board with the three centuries as well.
00:42England in pursuit now trailed by 460, with Zach Crawley not out, 64, joined by Joe Root
00:48on 32, England 96-1.
00:51Let's join the action at the start of day 3 of this first test.
01:22He does this so often.
01:29Well that'll be four, just to slip in the fine gully in place.
01:34It's a very controlled edge, it's just soft hands, controlled edge.
01:41He's got it, on the second attempt.
01:44It's that fielder again, perfectly positioned.
01:48Zach Crawley goals, it's Shaheen Shahafidi who has won.
01:51Well in a sense that's come from absolutely nowhere.
01:56Crawley's timing throughout this innings, both yesterday evening and this morning, has been immaculate.
02:01This one, just slightly early on the shot.
02:04Now we saw a brilliant catch yesterday, diving away one-handed to his right, went in ever so cleanly.
02:10This one still counts, second attempt, but it's a crucial wicket, early wicket for Pakistan.
02:17Zach Crawley's dreams of big runs here.
02:21There goes Duckett with the first of those onside shots.
02:27He's connected rather nicely with it, so no apparent problems with that bottom hand.
02:35Yeah, too short.
02:38Very easy for Ben Duckett, he picks up back-to-back boundaries to close out Abrar's over.
02:46That's up in the air, but it's perfectly safe.
02:50The first short ball of the day, the first test from the short ball of the day.
03:01Short and wide and thumped away, that'll go to the fence, Abrar leaks runs again.
03:08A little slower through the air, but that just allows Duckett to play this off the pitch.
03:13He's got all the time in the world here.
03:17In the air, just over the top, he's still chancing his arm.
03:22Abrar with the double teapot on, but a bit of a risk from Duckett.
03:30Goes again, this time better connection.
03:34Couple of bounces and that'll go over the ropes again.
03:41Lovely, he's tried that a couple of times this time, he gets the gap.
03:45That's a beautiful cover drive as we all know, Joe Root at his best.
03:54Edge and...
03:56First slip was wide, that should have carried if there was a first slip.
04:01It was probably a third slip where Salman Ali Agha was posted.
04:07Inside edge, will get to his 50.
04:10Been very assured innings, very calm innings as we expect from Joe Root.
04:1565th Test Match 50 for Joe Root.
04:20England 171 for 2.
04:23Get on!
04:25Cut nicely.
04:27Outfield is quick and that is another boundary to Duckett.
04:39It's the easy single to long off.
04:42Walked off the field in pain late yesterday.
04:47A big smile on his face for a half century.
04:50Smile on his face for a half century.
04:52He's 11th 50.
04:55No sign of pain, maybe apart from that very first delivery where he just took his hand off the bat.
05:04Cut.
05:05And there's no one out there, there's a square third man but he's just picking it up from that boundary cushion.
05:13Cut!
05:16It's a lovely shot from Duckett.
05:18It's a kind of flat back drive really.
05:21It's not an orthodox drive where you see the bat coming down on a vertical plane and a high front elbow.
05:29Get on!
05:31Slashes this time, an attempted repeat but it's just a hint of turn for Salman outside the off stump.
05:38Duckett slashes away, overslip for another four.
05:41The runs continue to flow.
05:49And with that immaculate on drive, Joru plants his flag at the summit.
05:5912 years after making his debut in Nagpur, he now has more runs in Test cricket than any other England player.
06:10A remarkable achievement, he's been a remarkable player.
06:19There's a great sweep shot and I think that is because he tried his hand at playing the cover drive.
06:25It wasn't that convincing, this time he played it with the spin and that's his strength.
06:34And a rare example of a Duckett defensive stroke ends the session.
06:40A very good one for England, a memorable one for Joru who goes to lunch unbeaten on 72.
06:47And goes in now as England's highest Test match run maker.
06:51Duckett is 80 and is quite splendidly England in a good position.
06:57England walk into lunch at 232 for 2.
07:01Zach Crawley the wicket to fall in that session.
07:03It was Amir Jamal perfectly positioned at mid wicket for Shaheen Shafridi to draw him to a close at 78.
07:10Joru and Ben Duckett steady the ship at 72 and 80 respectively.
07:17Pakistan just being able to add one more in that wicket's column, that to Shaheen Shafridi here on the first session.
07:24Math summary as it stands so far, 556 plays, 232 for 2 from England, they trail by 324.
07:32Let's join the action post-lunch.
07:48To make an impression at the moment.
07:53Short. Short of a man in form and short of a man full of class.
07:59Ends the over with a boundary, Joru to 238 for 2.
08:08Now when you have Pat onside field and then you decide to ball outside the off stump
08:14to a player like Joru who's already batting on 70, you're asking for trouble.
08:22You're asking for punishment.
08:27Just use the pace, angle the bat ever so slightly to find that gap.
08:34Big shout, that's just done a little bit off the surface and it's been given.
08:39Finger goes up but it's been reviewed straight away.
08:43It was Joru down the bowling and he also gestured immediately to Ben Duckett.
08:50Original decision is out.
08:52Impact's in line.
08:53Wicket's hitting.
08:54We're back on screen, you can stay with your original decision of out.
08:58Confirmation again, that is three down and it's a big wicket.
09:05Yeah, this was a good delivery coming back into Ben Duckett.
09:08One of the rare ones he's missed, if anyone he's missed.
09:11And people are wondering about the heights.
09:13Just remember Ben Duckett is, shall we say, short of stature.
09:17He was going on all cylinders and he has to now go back for 84, Ben Duckett.
09:21He was going on all cylinders and he has to now go back for 84, Ben Duckett.
09:31Very, very nicely glided.
09:34For four to end the over.
09:41A little bit reminiscent of Zach Crawley at the start of this England first innings.
09:46Straight into his stride for Harry Brooke.
09:52Trying for that reverse swing.
09:54Whipped away leg side.
09:56That'll go to the fence.
10:00Yeah, Brooke quickly into double figures.
10:03He's only been in there ten balls.
10:06He already has two boundaries.
10:08England are all the way through their line-up.
10:10They have quick scoring players and on this ground, in this pitch.
10:15Batter won't stem the flow of runs.
10:18Too full.
10:19Too full. He's got to bowl the length that he bowled to Duckett.
10:21The odd surprise, Yorker.
10:26Lovely shot.
10:28Classy cover drive.
10:30And that ails four from the moment he hit the bat.
10:34Off and running. He doesn't move that front foot much.
10:37He certainly doesn't move it across to the line of the ball.
10:39Watch that front foot. It stays there.
10:42We've seen that a few times. A sweep shot.
10:45That goes to the fence.
10:48Yeah, margin for error on this surface.
10:51It's minuscule really. That was two leg side.
10:53No one on the sweep.
10:55It was a free hit for Harry Brooke.
10:56There's a leg slip there.
10:59But he's too good a player to miss out.
11:01He doesn't.
11:03He's been thrashed through the offside.
11:05He caught up with it.
11:07And it's raised to the fence.
11:09The margins squeeze when Brooke is batting.
11:13Every time the ball has been pitched up in his zone,
11:17he's put it away.
11:18Once again, staying inside the line of the ball
11:20so that he can't hit the ball.
11:23He's got to be careful.
11:25He's got to be careful.
11:27He's got to be careful.
11:29He's got to be careful.
11:30Staying inside the line of the ball
11:31so that he can access the ball freely.
11:43He's a great talent because he plays all the form.
11:48Places like that.
11:50There's so much room there.
11:52And there's nobody in front of square.
11:55So the chances are that runs are there for the taking.
11:58Now, as I say, it has occasionally got him out.
12:00He got out like that at Lords against Australia
12:03in the Ashes.
12:04But I don't think he'll be sucked into playing
12:07to where the fielders are.
12:08He's going to do that.
12:11I think where that also becomes such a possible option for Brooke
12:14is because of the pace.
12:16The pace of Shine Shafi that he's bowling at.
12:21On the offside.
12:28Again, the pace of Shine Shafi, they won't bother him too much.
12:33You see, he still gives himself, allows himself a lot of time.
12:37Moves quickly, even while on the move.
12:40And he's intentionally playing it in front of square.
12:43On the offside, in front of those two fielders.
12:46He might have to just change his tactics here, Shine, just a little bit.
12:58Beats covers left-hand side.
13:03Very full from Shaheen, who's looked better when he's hit the pitch
13:06rather than floated it up on the drive.
13:09And that boundary, another fluent offside boundary, takes route to 96.
13:17Now, the previous one went straight to the fielder.
13:19This time to his left.
13:24It's just been fantastic to watch.
13:26He's been so much in control of the game.
13:29Plays the ball late, plays the ball right under his eyes.
13:38It's a fruitful combination, Harry Brooke, in Pakistan.
13:42Three hundreds in the series two years ago.
13:44He likes batting here.
13:46He likes these low bounce pitches.
13:48And he has 50 once again.
13:51There you go, there you go.
13:54Root's golden run in this calendar year continues.
13:59A record tumble to him in the morning session here in Multan.
14:03He now has a first Test match hundred in Pakistan in the afternoon session.
14:11Short ball, pulled upishly, man out there.
14:16Just separates the two that are in the deep.
14:18Both looked at each other.
14:19They continue to look at each other.
14:22But all it produces is another boundary for Joe Root.
14:30Yeah, Nassim Shah was complaining what the fielder was doing there.
14:34Why wasn't he behind square?
14:41Another boundary picked up.
14:45It's becoming harder.
14:47It's becoming harder and harder for the bowlers.
14:54Short ball.
14:56Played off the pitch from Harry Brooke.
15:0170 overs done, 351 for three.
15:06And that should be tea.
15:09As session two here concludes on day three.
15:12England walk back at 351 for three.
15:15Joe Root with another magnificent century.
15:18Also overtakes Alistair Cook's record of the most runs by an English Test batter.
15:24He remains not out at 119.
15:26Brooke has raised to 64.
15:29It was Amir Jamal who brought about the downfall of Ben Ducat.
15:33It was an important breakthrough as he picked up Ben Ducat at 84.
15:37The position of the match so far.
15:39Pakistan in their first innings putting on 556.
15:42England reply currently at 351 for three.
15:46They trail by 205 runs.
15:49Let's join the action in this final session here on day three.
16:13Ooh, just that.
16:15That is the closest it's come for a long, long time.
16:21Dislodging the bail.
16:23Did this roll onto the stumps?
16:25Hit him on the chest.
16:27Spun back.
16:28He missed it with his right boot.
16:30And it did hit the stumps.
16:32The bail stays on.
16:38I don't know which football team he supports.
16:40But he ain't getting a kick there, is he?
16:47Game pulling away from Pakistan.
16:49England in hot pursuit of the deficit which is reduced now to 130.
16:55That's a shot into the gap.
16:57And four.
17:00Sorry, deficit is 180.
17:02In fact, now 176.
17:04It's been a marathon from Bruton.
17:07Even though he's been cramping up a little.
17:10But there's no sight of him departing the crease.
17:22Catch it.
17:25As I speak, that's the second four in the last 11 overs.
17:28That's a well-struck sweep shot.
17:29I was just going to mention that
17:31that Dovood might have stopped playing the sweep with the field set
17:35and also given his cramps were slightly more difficult.
17:37Harry Brooke hasn't.
17:39They've persisted with this line far outside the leg stump.
17:43Every now and then, a broad drops it short.
17:47Harry Brooke is being able to pick up ones and twos.
17:50This time, pierces the gap as well.
17:51That's extraordinary.
17:53That is absolutely brilliant from Harry Brooke.
17:56He jumps to 98.
17:58Yeah, how many would hit a six in the 90s like this?
18:02Effortlessly put away.
18:04That over-the-wicket angle, not worrying him at all.
18:07This is great batting.
18:10Child's play.
18:12That's a shot.
18:14That's a shot.
18:16That's a shot.
18:18That's a shot.
18:20Child's play.
18:24Good uses of the feet.
18:26Full face of the bat.
18:29Got the desired result.
18:34Cuts well. Picks up a run.
18:36It's misfielded at point.
18:38Come back for two.
18:40And that's another great hundred by Brooke.
18:44He doesn't seem to break his stride at all
18:46when he's batting here on these pitches in Pakistan.
18:49That's a terrific hundred and a terrific track record
18:54for a very, very great talent.
18:57He's an exceptional talent.
18:59Let's not forget his prowess in white ball cricket
19:02and in test cricket.
19:04He averages over 50.
19:11Yeah, majestic.
19:13Really is majestic.
19:14Cover drive.
19:18Wonderfully played.
19:20Brooke on that occasion.
19:26Wasn't a full swing.
19:28Just a mere push and the ball travelled.
19:39Lovely.
19:41Stand and admire.
19:42Joe Root stood and admired his own shot there
19:45and we can do so on television as well.
19:48A wonderful way to go through to 150.
19:52Fabulous.
19:54Goes with the swing.
19:56Absolutely nails it through the offside.
20:06This time off the middle
20:08and this time pings away for four.
20:10That is absolutely exquisite to watch.
20:13I mean, that is one special drive.
20:16He's played a few like that earlier as well.
20:19200-run partnership is raised.
20:21But have a look at this easy grace through the offside.
20:24Picture perfect.
20:26They've not really been able to crack the code
20:29how to get Brooke out here in Pakistan.
20:31Four tests, four hundreds.
20:37Picked up off a length
20:39and dispatched in front of square for four.
20:41131 is not going to threaten a guy who's batting at 160.
20:45Easy shot to play.
20:47Nasim Shah just trying his hand
20:49at a bit of variation by pitching that one shot.
20:52I don't know whether it was intentional or a tired ball
20:55but whatever it was, it was put away beautifully.
20:57And it tells you how much time Joe Root has.
21:01It wasn't a shot delivery.
21:10That's one way to welcome him to the crease.
21:13It's not the first time he's seen that happen.
21:16Struck for four for the very first.
21:18That's not a great start.
21:22I know it's a newish ball
21:24but you've got to be on target
21:26and much better than this.
21:28Deficit is now under 100.
21:30A rank full toss put away very nicely.
21:38Another beauty.
21:41Another beauty pinging off the bat of Rook.
21:46Yeah, he has conceded 167 runs.
21:49It should challenge his ego.
21:53He should be jolted.
21:55It should wake him up
21:57and say, okay, I have to redeem myself.
22:01I have to pick up a few wickets here.
22:10He blasts this away through the offside.
22:12And it's again spectacular from Rook.
22:17Great shot.
22:19Really is something special from Rook this knock.
22:23Alvin Preece making room and hitting it crisply.
22:26Final ball of the day.
22:28It's pulled away down to long leg.
22:33396 runs in the day.
22:35Day three here in Wartime.
22:38There's some weary body language.
22:40Not just from the fielding side
22:42but from the whole team.
22:44It's a bit of a shock.
22:46It's a bit of a shock.
22:48It's a bit of a shock.
22:50It's a bit of a shock.
22:52It's a bit of a shock.
22:53Not just from the fielding side
22:55who have spent all day in the field
22:57but both Jay Root and Harry Rook
23:00who have played absolutely magnificently.
23:03They've had to weather the cramps,
23:05they've had to weather the conditions, the heat.
23:08And although they must have enjoyed themselves
23:10out there the way they passed it.
23:14Day three comes to an end
23:16with England in a very strong position
23:18in pursuit of the 556 by Pakistan.
23:19They are 492 for three
23:21with the maestro in Jorur.
23:23176 not out and Brook as well.
23:25His love affair with Pakistan continues.
23:27He's 141 not out.
23:29As expected as well
23:31it's going to be a tough toil
23:33for the seamers in particular
23:35with Shaheen Shah, Fredy, Naseem Shah
23:37and Amir Jamal with the one wicket.
23:39At the end of day three
23:41in this first test
23:43Pakistan in their first innings
23:45managed 556.
23:47England at the moment stand at 456.
23:49Pakistan at the moment stand at 456.
23:51England at the moment stand at 456.
23:53And India at the moment
23:55at 492 for three
23:57they trail by 64.
23:59Hope you've enjoyed the highlights here.
24:01We'll see you again tomorrow.
