England's confidence is sky-high - and the two last tests have broken the Pakistan resistance.And 8 down now. 285-8. Pakistan rather given it away today.

Understandably looked nervous in his first spell and got clattered about a bit. Says a huge amount about him (and Stokes' management of and confidence in him) that he came back and was miles better after lunch. Has a superb googly in his armoury - he was toying with Faheem at one point and ended up fooling him completely. He's only played 4 first class matches....quite incredible really. Very promising - and very unlike England to lob an inexperienced 18 year old into the mix.I don't have Sky, for those that are watching, any chance that you can send over a sentence or two characterising bowling of Rehan Ahmed.
We need a decent spinner and, for me, haven't had one since Graeme Swann.
In fairness to Pope, it was apparently unplayable.England coming unstuck here, poor batting.
Then out for 111Brook making up for that run-out...
102 not out
