Pakistan vs. England 2015

No. The light doesn't fade until about 5:30 or 5.40. The umpires signalled the last hour at 4.10 and so we now have 15 overs or 60 minutes, whichever is the longer. Either way the match won't last until the light starts to fade.

It's been a terrific fightback from England, but now Wood has gone and 9 wickets are down. I'm doubtful of Pakistan being able to squeeze more than 15 overs into this last hour, which means England's last wicket pair of Rashid and Anderson have 11.1 overs to survive.

Fine effort with the bat by England's bowlers to get them to 312 all out.

Pakistan win by 178 runs with less than 7 overs remaining.

Buttler has been dropped for the 3rd test and Bairstow will be wicketkeeper this time, with Taylor coming in and making his first test appearance since 2012. Wood is injured so England have to make a change there too and bring in another bowler, possibly Plunkett.

Third test today.
Pakistan won the toss yet again and again decided to bat.
An injured Wood has been replaced with spinning all round Samit Patel.

Current score Pak 33-1 off 17 overs

99/3 now.

Maybe Cook should hold a team vote prior to the toss to decide whether heads or tails should be called to assert collective responsibility for the toss .

how many tosses has Cook has lost this year in total I wonder? I'm sure against Australia he won only three

Broad's bowled 8 consecutive maidens. Figures of 9 overs 1 for 1

Stokes is injured attempting a wonder catch.
It looks like something serious with the top of his right arm / collar bone.
He gone off to hospital

196/6.
Sarfraz out for 39.

And another one gone.
196/7.
