1.44pm A sublime effort from Gabriel to keep Pakistan to 452 with a five-for. Pakistan still in control of this match though. A lovely fifty from Sarfraz, and contributions from Nawaz and Sohail helped Pakistan add to a strong overnight total. WI's reply in seven.

Gabriel to Zulfiqar Babar, OUT, out. Gabriel has five. Caught behind. Full outside off, pushed through. Babar stays in his crease, pushes at the ball, gets a thin outside edge which is taken by the keeper. Pakistan review, although Babar didn't seem anywhere near confident. Not a massive deflection, but a thin nick. Right decision in the end

Holder to Sohail Khan, OUT, taken. Superb catch from Johnson at midwicket. Holder changes the length this time, goes short aimed at the ribs. Sohail slaps his pull with terrible timing. It lobs up to the left of midwicket who gets across and takes a good two-handed catch to end a bright cameo

Holder to Sohail Khan, no run, rather full and straight, a neat straight drive back to the bowler

Suhail Shafi Sh: "i guess the discussion should be about best wicketkeeper + batsman... not just best batsman who can keep or best keeper who can bat.... QDK is a very good batsman but I have my doubts about his keeping ... I think Sarfraz ticks both the boxes."

Holder to Sohail Khan, no run, a decent yorker outside off, 136 kph. Defended

Andy: "It seems Sohail only knows one batting method : his entertaining run a ball 36 at Birmingham in August when he should have been trying to bat out time for a draw is still fresh in mind. Fortunately in the current match the approach is much more appropriate. Go on son, sock it to 'em and make a maiden Test 50!"

ziyad: "@pete, depends on the format. in limited overs, I'd go with QDK, in tests, I'd say sarfraz has the biggest impact, but bairstow is the best batsman"
