England's batters delivered a dominating reply, reducing their deficit to just 64 runs. After 81 overs, they have scored 396 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Every batter who walked out to bat today surpassed fifty, with Joe Root and Harry Brook converting theirs into significant hundreds. Root set a few records today, including surpassing Sir Alastair Cook as England's leading run-scorer in Tests. Brook continued his impressive form against Pakistan, marking his third century in as many innings.
Currently, the duo is involved in a formidable 243-run partnership and looks set to extend that further. Pakistan managed to take one wicket in each of the first two sessions but went wicketless in the third. For much of the day, they seemed to be going through the motions, as nothing appeared to be working in their favor. They will be hoping for a better performance tomorrow.
Teams:
Pakistan (Playing XI): Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood(c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Agha Salman, Aamer Jamal, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed
