3.45pm: Will Duckett be able to come straight out and open the batting? That looked highly doubtful, the way he signalled to the dressing room as he gingerly held his left hand with his right. "Duckett getting some treatment as he runs up dressing room stairs," reports Matt Roller, which perhaps suggests he will try to guts it out. Either way, Pakistan have ground England firmly into the Multan dirt over these five-and-a-half sessions, and will be looking to capitalise with the new ball and fresh bowlers. Back in 10

Root to Abrar Ahmed, OUT, Root bounces Abrar out! But he might have injured Ben Duckett in the process! The England opener is walking off holding his hand after taking a sharp catch, with Abrar guiding the ball off his nose straight to slip. It seemed to prang Duckett on the left thumb before he grabbed it in his right hand. Somewhat farcical end to a very impressive innings from Pakistan

Root to Abrar Ahmed, 2 runs, Abrar comes again and has a hack, in the air but landing safely between mid-on and long-off
"Wheels falling off for England," chirps RobP. "I predict 60 for 4 at stumps"
