Well played Harry Brook, third ton of the series. Also a 100 partnership with Foakes, who's looked good too.

A lead of 50 would be very handy.

A fourth wicket for debutant Rehan Ahmed as Pakistan slump to 211-9.

England looking good for a series whitewash.
 
I was thinking, they have two and a bit days, so they take it easy……of course not!
I never understand chasing a 20/20 score why teams tootle along at 2/3 an over taking a whole day to try and reach their target. All it takes is a couple of wickets and then there is suddenly pressure on the batsmen. We would knock 167 off all day long if it was a 20/25 over match
 
Now, will people say that Stokes promoting Ahmed up the order ahead of himself, Root, Pope and Brook shows a ‘lack of respect’?

Not me, it’s a hoot.
 
These are unprecedented times, almost there for a clean sweep in Pakistan, something that's never been done before ! Stokes and McCullum are different gravy. Incredible

Stunning series win, unprecedented stuff all season. A lot of the focus has been on the incredible batting, but Bazball only works if you can bowl the opposition out twice. We have found a way to intimidate them into caving…..

This was the first Test England have won without at least one of Anderson or Broad playing since 2007. We have a bowling future!
