| 44.1 | OUT | Anderson to Umar Gul, out Bowled!! Full and straight is all it takes to clean him up, Pakistan fail to get to three figures, Umar Gul tries to tonk this over mid wicket but gets a thin inside edge and drags it onto the stumps. A dismal show from Pakistan after opting to bat. Umar Gul b Anderson 13(27) [4s-1 6s-1] | 99/10 |
| 42.4 | FOUR | Anderson to Umar Gul, FOUR, the slower one from Anderson, Umar Gul picks it well and alolows it to reach him, glances it delicately and picks up a boundary, neatly done | 99/9 |
| 41.1 | SIX | Panesar to Umar Gul, SIX, floated up, Umar Gul plonks his foot forward and smacks it over the mid wicket fence, good sound as it came off the bat, knew it was a six right away | 92/9 |
| 41 | OTHER | Anderson to Umar Gul, leg byes, 1 run, Steve Davies' decision stays, this was slanted in and struck Umar Gul in front of leg, he reckoned it was going down leg and replays show that it was just clipping leg, umpire's call | 86/9 |
| 40 | OUT | Panesar to Shafiq, out Lbw!! As plumb as it gets, the flatter one sliding on, Shafiq tries to force it off the backfoot but misses it and is struck on the back leg just before it hits the bat, that was missing off and missing leg, good, fighting little knock from Shafiq comes to an end. Shafiq lbw b Panesar 45(78) [4s-3] | 85/9 |
| 35.3 | OUT | Panesar to Ajmal, out Lbw!! Panesar ends Ajmal's stubborn stay with a slider, pitches on middle and leg and strikes Ajmal on the pads even as he was pressing forward, no doubts in the umpire's mind, that would have crashed into leg, Pakistan slip further. Ajmal lbw b Panesar 12(53) [4s-1] | 78/8 |

| 55 | OUT | Ajmal to Swann, out Caught by Abdur Rehman!! End of the innings and Pakistan will be happy with their effort. Tossed up delivery on the middle and leg stump, Swann stays forward and swings it to long leg, he mistimes it slightly and Rehman runs to his left and takes a low catch with both hands. Swann c Abdur Rehman b Ajmal 16(18) [4s-3] | 141/10 |
| 54.5 | FOUR | Ajmal to Swann, FOUR, flighted delivery on the middle and leg stump, Swann heaves it to the deep backward square leg fence | 141/9 |
| 54.4 | OTHER | Ajmal to Swann, no run, DRS again confounds us, quicker delivery and it holds its line on the off stump, Swann gets forward and gets hit on the pad, Pakistan appeal and the umpire says not out, Pak opt for the review and the ball shows that the ball is hitting off stump and it is pitching in line, but the umpire's call stays | 137/9 |
| 54.3 | FOUR | Ajmal to Swann, FOUR, Ajmal misses his line here, flatter ball but on leg stump, Swann looks to swing it to deep square leg, the ball brushes the glove and goes to the fine leg fence | 137/9 |
| 53.5 | OUT | Abdur Rehman to Strauss, out Stumped!! Another five wicket haul from Rehman. He is really having a great series. Strauss again charges down the track and looks to swipe it to mid wicket, but Rehman bowls it flatter and slightly wide of the off stump, Strauss cannot get to it and Adnan whips the bails off, good innings from Strauss comes to an end. Strauss st Adnan Akmal b Abdur Rehman 56(150) [4s-5] | 133/9 |
| 53.2 | FOUR | Abdur Rehman to Swann, FOUR, rare poor ball from Rehman, quicker ball but he slides this on leg stump, Swann uses the pace and glances it to the fine leg fence | 132/8 |

| 152.4 | OUT | Panesar to Umar Gul, out Lbw!! Monty gets a 5-wicket haul. This was tossed up on the middle-stump and straightened, Umar Gul was looking to play the big slog sweep and misses. The ball was going to hit the middle stump. Easy decision for umpire Taufel and England need 324 runs for a consolation victory. Umar Gul lbw b Panesar 4(38) | 365/10 |
| 149.3 | OUT | Swann to Azhar Ali, out Caught by Alastair Cook!! Soft dismissal for Azhar Ali. It was a nicely tossed up delivery on the middle and spinning back into him, he looks to turn it towards the onside and ends up hitting it straight to Cook at short leg. Cook did very well to stay down and takes the catch easily. Azhar departs after a magnificent hand. Azhar Ali c Alastair Cook b Swann 157(442) [4s-10 6s-1] | 363/9 |
| 146.3 | FOUR | Panesar to Azhar Ali, FOUR, nicely played. Panesar tossed this one on the stumps, Azhar Ali backs away a bit, gets into a fine position and slog sweeps it wide of mid-wicket for a boundary | 360/8 |
| 142 | OUT | Swann to Ajmal, out Caught by Anderson!! They are losing wickets in a heap, but a sharp catch from Jimmy at first slip, it was the arm ball wide outside off, it was drifting away slightly, Ajmal pokes at it away from his body and the outside edge flew quickly low towards the first slip, but Jimmy reacted quickly, moved to his right and takes a good low catch. Ajmal c Anderson b Swann 1(12) | 350/8 |
| 139.1 | OUT | Swann to Abdur Rehman, out Caught by Anderson!! Another one bites the dust, pitches it on the rough just outside off, it was well tossed up also and inviting him for the drive, Abdur Rehman was drawn into the shot and it turned away sharply to take the edge straight to Jimmy at first slip. Abdur Rehman c Anderson b Swann 1(5) | 346/7 |
| 138.2 | OUT | Panesar to Adnan Akmal, out Bowled!! Monty is on fire here, the ball is suddenly turning square here, this one was a dream delivery for a left arm spinner, it was pitched on the off stump, it turned away slightly to beat the defences of Adnan Akmal and then crashed into the stumps. Adnan Akmal b Panesar 0(7) | |

| 97.3 | OUT | Abdur Rehman to Panesar, out Lbw!! This was as plumb as it gets, it was a well flighted delivery outside off and spinning back in, Panesar went for a mighty slog sweep and was struck on the back-pad in front of middle. The ball was going to hit middle, Panesar went for the review for the heck of it, he knew he was a goner as well. Panesar lbw b Abdur Rehman 8(15) | 252/10 |
| 93 | OUT | Ajmal to Anderson, out Caught by Younis Khan!! England are on the brink of suffering a whitewash. Another superb piece of deception from Ajmal, this was a quicker delivery just outside off, Anderson looks to cut, is cramped for room and gets a fat edge through to YK at 1st slip. The ball was travelling, but YK holds onto it even as he was arching back. Anderson c Younis Khan b Ajmal 9(26) | 237/9 |
| 87.5 | DROPPED | Abdur Rehman to Prior, no run, catch dropped by Adnan Akmal. Extra bounce for Abdur Rehman, Prior was cramped for room as he looked to play the cut, gets an outside edge, the ball pops in and out of the gloves of Adnan Akmal | 221/8 |
| 87.4 | FOUR | Abdur Rehman to Prior, byes, FOUR, Abdur Rehman fires this one down the leg, Prior looks to sweep and misses, so does Adnan Akmal. The ball scoots away to the boundary | 221/8 |
| 87.3 | FOUR | Abdur Rehman to Prior, FOUR, even better from Prior. This one is dropped short and on the middle stump, Prior backs away and cuts it behind point for a boundary | 217/8 |
| 84.4 | OUT | Umar Gul to Swann, out Caught by Shafiq!! Brilliant catch from Shafiq. This was a good length delivery outside off and shaping away, Swann drives it on the up towards Shafiq at point. The ball was dying on him, he does well to dive forward and completes the catch. Taufel wanted to check for the no-ball and replays showed that Gul had a little bit behind the line. Swann departs and Pakistan are 2 wickets away from the white-wash. Swann c Shafiq b Umar Gul 1(6) | 203/8 |
