65.4 to Abdullah Shafique, It’s a wicket! A first Test wicket for Jacks! Shafique lined up the cut, and scuffed an edge through to Pope! Decent take too, as it was a big deflection, up by the gloves, there was width but a fraction of turn back into the shot, and England have the breakthrough!. 225/1
126.1 to Babar Azam, chopped in the air to point! Jacks has his man! Another shift in this contest, Babar had been utterly immoveable, but the temptation of Jacks’ loopy offerings were just too much. He didn’t get on top of his stroke at all, and Century No.7 is done and dusted!. 473/5
133.5 to Naseem Shah, slogged, and out! England snaffle another before the close. Naseem had hit a couple out of the middle but gets this wrong, plinking a high catch to deep midwicket, well held by Leach running in. Hook, line and sinker, Pakistan’s teenage No. 8 trudges off. Third wicket of the day for Jacks, England chipping away. 497/7
147.4 to Agha Salman, edged to slip, Jacks pops up with another! Salman won’t be going on to become the eighth centurion in this Test… Almost out of nowhere, a misjudgment. There was some spin for Jacks as Salman attempted to close the face, the ball kissed the edge and was well held low down by Crawley. 554/8
153.5 to Zahid Mahmood, big appeal for the stumping! Mahmood was lining up the reverse sweep, Pope gathered slightly clumsily but got his hands to the stumps quickly enough. The toe made no effort to move back into the crease… but was it out in the first place? I’d say there’s a stud at best behind the line… this could go either way to be honest. Stump-cam shows it best! A flick of line visible beneath the toe, he’s out! And Jacks has five on debut!. 576/9
155.3 to Haris Rauf, a big heave, a big nick, Jacks has six! Rauf goes for the off-balance wipe to leg, but Jacks just tossed it out a touch wider, and found the outside edge. Root stays alert, thrusting his hands up to cling onto the chance, and the lead is 78… which is something. 579/10
