Set 355 to win courtesy Harry Brook’s second century of the tour, a masterful 108 from 149 balls, Pakistan were reeling on 83 for three. Jimmy Anderson had bowled Mohammad Rizwan with a delivery to rank among the top tier of his 674 Test victims, while Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood produced collectors’ items of their own.
But barely minutes before sunset on a day when his figures took a bit of a pounding, Jack Leach produced a moment to allay some of this creeping English dread. The left-arm spinner had Imam caught at slip on 60 to see Pakistan close on 198 for four from 64 overs. The composed Saud was still there unbeaten on 54, however, and a positively intriguing fourth day has been set up.
