Saud Shakeel leans forward to block but he plays the initial line and does not account for the ball to rifle into him.

That must have hurt Jamie. Back of a length from around the stump, sliding down leg. Saud Shakeel leaves it and Smith drags both his hands to the right to gather the ball but it clips the tips of his fingers and rolls into square leg.. Howdy, folks? England certainly enjoyed a far more satisfying lunch. Not for the first time, though, Pakistan could not say the same. They are at risk of being bowled out for less than 150, once again, which won't be a surprise at all. The umpires and players punctually make their way to the middle. Saud Shakeel, one shining light for Pakistan, and debutant Razaullah walk to the crease to resume their batting. The lights are on at Edgbaston as it continues to stay overcast. Ollie Robinson (8-3-9-2) will get us underway with the ball. Here we go.... ... DAY 1, AFTERNOON SESSION .... Agenda set for the second session - England have taken an early - and dare we say - unassailable lead in this final Test. Their quicks have been relentless and will look to skittle a Pakistan side that is extremely low on confidence. They will aim to tear through the tail, which, in all honesty, looks like low-hanging fruit. Pakistan's rearguard depends on how long Shakeel stays at the crease and who turns up to support him from the other end. Play is expected to resume at 12.40 pm GMT. Join us then.. Speed, accuracy, discipline - Amid all that ruthlessness, a touch of fortune has also played its part. Ben Duckett has let slip a couple of catches he or anyone else would normally hold on to, and Saud Shakeel, dropped early on seven, has capitalised on his second chance, battling away on what appears to be an entirely different surface compared with everyone around him. He has played some delightful strokes in his brisk 37, but has found no stability from the other end whatsoever. Still, credit where it is due, the manner in which England have hammered away stump to stump, refusing to offer width or respite, has been the real story of this session. A perfect lesson in disciplined, relentless seam bowling that Pakistan simply haven't had an answer for.. Cat on a hot tin roof - Grey skies, a chill in the air and overcast conditions that practically screamed seam bowling, and England made sure not to waste a single ounce of it. Archer and Robinson brought their usual fire and fury, leaving Pakistan gobsmacked and reeling at 26 for 4, before Tongue rubbed further salt into the tourists' wounds by eventually snaring Babar's wicket as well. It's been mayhem from ball one, the kind of morning session that has left a touring Pakistan side wondering what exactly they did to deserve it.. 12.07 pm GMT - Carnage - If there is one word to capture this morning session, it's exactly that. Wicket after wicket, action at every turn, yet none of it favouring Pakistan, as England have made a complete mockery of a batting unit that has looked desperately fragile from ball one. It's the same story being read again and again, only wrapped in a different book..England vs Pakistan 3rd Test Live Score: 100/7 (22.6 overs) 22.6: Josh Tongue to Razaullah, FOUR! Razaullah connects it this time and gets his first boundary. Pitches it up, does Tongue, outside off. Razaullah rocks back and slashes it over the cover region for four runs. With that boundary, 100 is up for Pakistan. That will be Lunch on Day 1. .England vs Pakistan 3rd Test Live Score: 96/7 (22.5 overs) 22.5: Josh Tongue to Razaullah, Swing and a miss! Full-length delivery, outside off, nipping away. Razaullah clears his front foot and looks to smoke it downtown, but misses on the outside edge.. Razaullah gets rid of his helmet and the gloves. The physio rushes out to check on the debutant takes a stinging blow to the fingers of his right hand. The middle and ring fingers of his bowling hand, to be specific. The magic spray is applied and Razaullah is good to resume. Two balls left in the session. Any late dramas, anyone?.England vs Pakistan 3rd Test Live Score: 96/7 (22.4 overs) 22.4: Josh Tongue to Razaullah, Just a shade behind the good length, outside off.
