England hasn’t replaced Livingstone.

Pakistan needs more than 250 runs to win.

On a surface where seven batsmen scored hundreds, England’s pace attack used short balls to hurt Pakistan’s top order.

The home side concluded day 4 263 runs behind on 80-2.

Pakistan’s first innings was 579, compared to England’s 657.

Will Jacks took 6-161 in his first test on a flat pitch where spinners struggled.

Naseem Shah rattled England’s second innings.

Ben Duckett, one of England’s four century-makers, was out first ball.

The fast bowler dropped Zak Crawley on 18, but caught Ollie Pope off Mohammad Ali.

Crawley scored 50 after his century.

Ben Stokes was out for a duck in the same over as Joe Root’s 73.

Harry Brook, who made 153 in England’s first innings, hit 87 off 65 balls before being bowled by Naseem and declared.

Stokes and Robinson smashed Pakistan’s top order.

Robinson dismissed Abdullah Shafique for six, then injured Azhar.

In the next over, Stokes bounced Babar Azam, who hit four, to wicketkeeper Pope.
