Commentary

12:06 PM IST That is it from this game. Test cricket at its best again. These two meet again for the 2nd Test on 9th December. Do join us at 1030 IST (0500 GMT). Join us earlier for the build up. Till then, it is goodbye and cheers!
12:06 PM IST Ben Stokes, the captain of England says they planned how to approach this game. He credits his players for the way they performed. Applauds the performance of Ollie Pope and Will Jacks. Shares everytime they try to take a positive route in every match. Reckons it is an exciting team and the pitch was brilliant to bat so, they used it well. Appreciates James Anderson's performance. Mentions the players are ready to put their bodies on the line. Tells they came here to play the way they wanted. Says the players kept on fighting after the declaration and tells, reverse swing did help their bowlers after the second session.
12:05 PM IST Babar Azam, the skipper of Pakistan says they were not upto the mark with the ball. Adds they executed their plans in the first innings and in the second innings they had a golden chance to win but lost wickets in every session. Reckons their bowling department is a bit young. He credits his bowlers though for the way they performed. Reckons they had to think differently when England scored a bulk of runs in the first innings. Shares there are lot of positives, batting, bit of bowling and hopes to do well in the next match.
11:56 AM IST Ollie Robinson wins the Player of the Match award. He says the pitch was not favoring bowlers much but the player left everything on the pitch.  Adds they had to stay patient and take their chances. On the declaration, he says it was hard but they had time and prepared for it. Shares this was one of his best matches recently.
11:53 AM IST ...Presentation coming up...
11:52 AM IST The start for Pakistan was not the best as they lost two wickets towards the end of Day 4 but Imam, Saud, Azhar Ali and Agha Salman got them back into the game. However, the spells from Anderson and Ollie Robinson changed the tide completely into the visitors' favor. Both got 4 each. It came down to the last hour with Pakistan needing just the one wicket. The last pair for Pakistan fought hard but it was the second new ball which did the trick and it is the visitors who have taken 1-0 lead in this series.
11:52 AM IST England then came out in their second innings and continued to go after the bowlers! They yet again scored at over 6 per over, they actually went at around 7 per over in the second innings. Harry Brook yet again shown with the bat but even then it seemed like this game would be heading towards a draw but the declaration at Tea on Day 4 just sparked life in this game. England had around 4 sessions to take 10 wickets and Pakistan had the same amount of time to score 342 runs which would have been a record.
11:51 AM IST England though right from Day 1 showed they are not here to only win but to dominate! After electing to bat, their batters came out all guns blazing. They scored over 500 runs on Day 1 with four batters scoring tons. They were not able to add a lot on Day 2 but had a huge, huge score on the board. In reply, Pakistan had three of their batters crossing the 100-run mark, at one stage, they were in a decent position to take the lead but Will Jacks' spell ensured it was England who took a slender lead as he got a six-fer on debut.
11:51 AM IST Jubilation in the English camp! What a win, what a win for England! The Pakistan last wicket pair tried their best but this is a well-deserved win for England. They were outstanding right from Day 1. Their batting, the effort by the bowlers, the decisions they took and Stokes' captaincy was just fabulous. Everything he did was brilliant, every decision he took was spot on. It was that bold move of declaring, it could have gone either way, it was risky but Stokes trusted his bowlers and they delivered when it mattered.

OUT! SHAH HAS BEEN GIVEN LBW! He reviews it! That looked very close. Will come down to the umpire's call we think so. NO BAT INVOLVED! IT IS THREE REDS! WOW! England have done it.

An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Naseem Shah reviews but to no avail as three reds it shows. ENGLAND WIN BY 74 RUNS.

Only 30 minutes or so remaining. Stokes was not amused at the end of the Drinks break! Ali had gone off maybe for a toilet break and took some time to come back.

OUT! LBW! An appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Haris Rauf will take it upstairs. No bat there. Is it just sliding down though? Umpire's call it is. England won't mind it. They are nearing to the victory. James Anderson is showing his class all over again. What a champion of a bowler. He serves it on a length and tailing on leg. Rauf misses his flick. It looked like it will go down but the on-field decision is with England and it is enough for them to take the 9th wicket.

Ollie Pope puts in a full-length dive, stretches his left hand out and takes a stunner. He does well to keep hold onto it as he lands on the ground. Just superb. James Anderson gets his third wicket. England need two wickets now.

OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the leg slip fielder! Ollie Robinson is on fire, he has two in two overs and England can sense a win now. The last recognized batter, Azhar Ali is out of here and England are just the three wickets away. This is on the pads, Ali flicks but to the man at leg slip. Root takes an excellent low catch. Yet again the reverse swing doing the job, the ploy not to take the second new ball is working. This is going to be really tough for the bowling all-rounders now.

The 61-run stand is broken and England now are into the bowlers. A big moment in the game. This one is on a length and outside off, it lands and nips back in sharply. Salman stays back and tries to dab to third man with an angled bat but puts his front foot across. The ball pings the pad first. UltraEdge confirms it is pad first. Three reds are shown and England are absolute delight.

On middle, this is tucked to square leg. Ali is long way down as he wants a quick single but is sent back. The fielder misses his shy at the bowler's end. Would have been saved.

10:14 AM IST We are back for the final session. The one we were all waiting for. The players are out in the middle. Jack Leach to start after the break.
10:14 AM IST ...Day 5, Session 3...
9:59 AM IST For England, they have been good with the ball, they have stuck to their plans and the bowlers are creating problems for the batters. They would have loved for Pope to hang onto the chance last on in this session but that was not to be. That wicket just before the break would have given them a big boost. However, they would know one wicket quickly can turn things around. The second new ball is also around the corner and something tells me there is still a lot of drama left in this game. Do join us for the final session in a bit.
9:57 AM IST Another top, top session and wen enter into the third session with all three results possible. Have to say though courtesy this stand, Pakistan do have their noses ahead. The start to this session was not the best as they lost Rizwan and Saud in quick succession. At that time, England were right on top of this game but Azhar Ali and Agha Salman have battled brilliantly. They are admist a 59-run stand but they will know with not a lot of batting to come, they really need to keep batting as Pakistan are still 86 runs away from the target.

THE FINGER IS RAISED! Agha Salman has been given out LBW but he reviews. Is it too high or is it clipping the bails? Big moment in the game! NOT OUT! It is going over! England can't believe it! The crowd here is going bonkers! Agha Salman survives to fight yet another day. The last recognized pair continues to battle. This is tossed up on middle, Salman looks to sweep but misses to get hit on the body. An appeal and the finger is raised. Stokes really can't believe this is going over especially on this wicket which is slow and low.

Pakistan will know if these two manage to put up a good stand, they will have their noses ahead but if England manage to get a wicket here, they will surely feel the game is in their pocket.

OUT! TAKEN! That is a lovely catch! Ollie Robinson comes on and strikes. Stokes can do no wrong with his bowling changes here and England now on top. They are just the one wicket away from entering the bowlers now. Saud Shakeel who looked solid out there falls. England are delighted. This is fuller and outside off, quite wide outside off. Shakeel could have left it but it is the length that makes him play the stroke. It is just behind a driving length. Shakeel stretches for it, it goes uppishly and to the right of a very short cover. Keaton Jennings, the sub, dives to his right and takes it brilliantly. England now 5 wickets away.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Anderson gets another one! This guy is an absolute legend, irrespective on the conditions, just manages to find the breakthroughs for his side. It is the big wicket of Mohammad Rizwan who just did not look like getting out. He falls four short of a half ton and England now back on top. This is on a length, it lands and moves away. Rizwan has a poke at it away from the body. He also plays it with an angled bat. It goes off the outside edge and it goes into the hands of the keeper. He maybe could have left that delivery but that is how Rizwan plays, he likes feeling bat on ball and that proves to be his downfall.

7:44 AM IST We are back for the second session! Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel will resume their innings. It is Ben Stokes who will begin for England. 65 overs left in the day's play, do not think we will get all of them though. Pakistan need another 174. Here we go...
7:39 AM IST ... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
7:09 AM IST Ben Stokes looks a bit out of options. The pacers are doing well as they kept things tight in the first hour but once the spinners were introduced, they were put under the hammer and the bulk of the runs were scored against them. Liam Livingstone is now ruled out of the series. Ben Stokes himself is not bowling much. England have to find an answer and come with energy as they look for wickets and wickets in the next session and so on. For Pakistan, their planned work beautifully and if it continues to do so, we might find a winner in the next session itself but surely, England will not let it happen so easily. This game is still wide open. A big second session is coming up. Stay tuned.
7:04 AM IST Just the way Pakistan wanted! What a session for them! They looked all out of this match at one stage and now are firm favorites to win it, still though a long way to go but this match is nicely poised for a win for the hosts.

4:46 AM IST We are all set. The players are out in the middle. Saud Shakeel and Imam-ul-Haq to resume their batting. Ollie Robinson (5-0-22-1) to open with the ball.
3:43 AM IST This Test match has showed why this format is still one of the best in cricket and how unpredictable it still can be. England played the ‘Bazball’ way and bossed Day 1. Pakistan played on their own terms but till yesterday it looked like draw is the most likely result. However, England were happy to give a target and to find a result rather than settling for a draw. The final session of Day 4 has made Day 5 to watch out for. The first session is the most important one. Pakistan need 262 more runs to win from 90 off overs. England need 8 wickets to win on the other hand. A fascinating day of cricket awaits. Stay tuned.
3:42 AM IST ...Day 5, Session 1...
11:57 AM IST The key for England will be patience, they need to keep hitting the right lines and lengths. The wicket is still quite flat and there is not a lot on offer for their bowlers. Pakistan on the other hand, have two set-batters and they will need these two to bat long. They still need another 263 runs and it is going to be very important for the batters who have their eye in to cash in. A very exciting last day of this Test awaits. Do join us for the action which begins at 1015 IST (0445 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
11:55 AM IST The day though began with Pakistan fighting back after losing quite a wickets in the last session of Day 3. Agha Salman notched up a fine half ton and reduced England's lead to below 100. Jacks was the star with the ball for the visitors as he got a six-fer on debut. England then, came out all guns blazing. It was Brook and Root for them who really took the attack to the bowlers. They were yet again scoring at over 6 and in just over a session, they managed to extend their lead to close to 350. It was a surprise declaration from them as they did so during the Tea interval. They came out with a plan with the ball of bowling short and that worked. They have got Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam and we are not sure about the injury of Azhar Ali! Overall, have to say, the English have their noses in front at the moment.
11:51 AM IST The light meter is out again, the umpires have a look again and this time they have deemed the light is not good enough to continue and off they go! A round of applause from Stokes for his players as they walk off and rightly so, they have been brilliant, the day has surely belonged to them and the game is set up beautifully for Day 5.

OUT! TAKEN! The finger is raised! Pin-drop silence in this stadium as Babar Azam has been dismissed by the England skiper, Ben Stokes. The short ball ploy works yet again. England well and truly on top now! This is short and on middle, Babar Azam looks to guide it down to third man. There is not enough room to do that. He actually tried making a little bit of room by moving to his the right. This goes off the toe-end and it is taken inches above the ground by the keeper. Two out of the three centurions from the first innings for Pakistan are back in the hut. Do Pakistan have another hero in them?
