England vs. Pakistan 2nd Test Day 4: Live Updates from London

21:19 IST:

An intense battle – Pakistan, however, kept up the pressure in conditions that make batting anything but straightforward. The ball bites and behaves unpredictably off the surface, with the grim conditions offering plenty of work for the seamers. Emilio Gay fell for 31 with a grubber that undid all his hard work. Harry Brook attacked but he too was dismissed for 34 and Jamie Smith for 7 with Mohammad Abbas doing all the damage. Brook, in particular, was destroyed by a fine delivery that drifted away late and found the edge, while Lawrence had to work hard on his runs and he and Gus Atkinson saw it before rain forced morning tea. It was a real battle between bat and ball and every scoring opportunity had to be earned. The final leg is scheduled to start at 15:55 GMT but may be delayed due to rain.
