END OF OVER:

5.30pm: So, England will need 248 to win, Pakistan scrambling up towards respectability thanks to Imad Wasim's lively knock at the end. He's now scored 137 runs without being dismissed in the series, and has an average (71.33) that is higher than his highest score (63*) - not too shabby at all. Azhar Ali again weighed anchor with 80 but it was a familiar case of diffidence from most of the order, until Imad got going. Can England knock them off or do the Pakistan bowlers have something special in their locker? Join us in 30 mins or so to find out...

Plunkett to Umar Gul, no run, good length, fast outside off, and a swing-and-a-miss to finish the innings

Plunkett to Umar Gul, SIX, slotted over the straight boundary for six! Gul is a powerful slugger and he picks up Plunkett's attempted yorker and deposits it dismissively back over the bowler's end. Have some

Plunkett to Imad Wasim, 1 run, goes full outside off this time, makes room and clubs a drive to the cover sweeper

"Don't mention Kolkata please!" warbles Enigma's Fan. Sorry, the "Bengali ground"

Plunkett to Imad Wasim, no run, fired in full and slightly leg side, Imad was trying to reverse-paddle again, misses the ball - and Plunkett gets the benefit of the doubt from the umpire

Plunkett to Imad Wasim, 2 runs, full and straight, clubbed into the leg side and they hurry a second

Plunkett to Imad Wasim, 2 runs, oh, that's cheeky and it's also very good, gets the reverse-ramp away between gully and backward point for a couple

Liam Plunkett will bowl the final over, rather than Willey. Can Imad get Pakistan to 250?

"I guess Stokes and Jordan should be finishing end overs for England," squeaks avishek. "Isn't Stokes good enough to bowl at death?" I suspect he might want a wee bit more recovery time after that over in Kolkata

Jordan to Umar Gul, no run, on the stumps, blocked to the leg side and Jordan scurries after it - that's him finished, another solid death showing on his ODI return

In comes Umar Gul at No. 10

Jordan to Hasan Ali, OUT, the full toss does the job, Hasan slicing to backward point! The batsman was backing away to leg, swinging from the hip, flipped it high to Root's right for a running catch
