London, Jul 17 : Welcome all! Six sessions remain the match, Pakistan are 19 short of a lead of 300 - the revered psychological figure. England still have two more wickets to take! This is the opening scene today at the Lord's today. From here, the game can take any turn. Yasir Shah, after he wrecked the English batting with his variations, has frustrated the hosts with the bat as well. All he needs is a few cheeky, meaty or whatever run-scoring shots and he would have given himself and the rest of the team enought to play for.

Can this pair add on some crucial runs to their tally, or will the English seamers knock them out? Will the English batsmen put their heads down and dominate like they have been all summer, or will the famed Pakistani attack stamp their authority all over again? Do join us tomorrow for what could well be the deciding day of this hard fought contest. Sayonara!

Stumps - Date 3 : Another closely fought session resulting in this game being placed at the knife's edge as both teams continue to fight it out in perfect cricketing conditions. The see-saw contest seeped into the final session as well, as just when things seemed to be drifting away from England with the Sarfraz-Yasir partnership swelling, Chris Woakes, who seems to be having the match of his life came back to snare two wickets in quick succession and in the process got to his 10-fer. Spare a thought for Steven Finn who got the ball to dance past the edge on numerous occasions, but just couldn't get a number in his wickets column. But with 281 runs in the bank, Pakistan would fancy their chances on a crumbling track
