Have England decided that they won’t get a win, so are using the match for batting practice?
Nope, they still want to win. Lots of overs left in the game and Pakistan have a habit of crumbling in their second innings.
Pakistan 208-7 .
59 runs behind .
England only need 2 more wickets as one Pakistan Batsman is ill .

Pakistan are in a very bad place right now, they need a complete shake up from top to bottom.

That should never have been a test wicket. But we won so it is fine! 
What do England do now? Recall Stokes although he may not even bowl at all. I hope they go in unchanged unless there is a need to change Carse for Pottts. Would love Pope to have the opportunity to get a big score in the second test. and for Leach and Bashir to take loads of wickets.
I know they lost, but Pakistan dropping Babar, Shaheen and Naseem (and the injured Abrar) from their squad for the second test seems a bit extreme.

England seamers getting plenty of reverse swing. Shaheen and Naseem could be a thr.......oh, never mind.
