So the incessant rains still continue to pour and the teams are confined to their dressing rooms. Quite a disappointing day for the fans.

14 Aug, 21:19 (IST)

So bad light stops play and the teams have now headed to the dressing rooms. We hope that this is for a short span of time and the teams are back to action soon.

OUT! Stuart Broad gets his third wicket as he dismisses Mohammad Abbas for 2. Pitched in line and impact on the stumps. Review taken but that doesn't save the Men in Green. Abbas LBW on 2

So amid falling wickets, Pakistani tail-enders are attempting their level best to stabilise the team. Wickets kept falling one after the other and the Men in Green are in big big trouble.

Team England could not stop laughing as they went ROFL with the comedy of errors as Shaheen Afridi gets RUN OUT on 0. ECB shared the video below:

14 Aug, 19:52 (IST)

Here's another wicket that screams out the tale of carelessness especially when the Pakistani team need it the most.  So Rizan was batting an an appeal was made for an LBW, meanwhile the fielder on the third slip saw Shaheen Afridi leaving the crease for a single and he aimed at the ball on the bowler's end and that disturbed the furniture. Shaheen OUT on 0.

14 Aug, 19:39 (IST)

With te dismissal of Yasir Shah and Babar Azam in quick succession, the Pakistani team is sturggling Yasir Shah got OUT on 5 and seven wickets have fallen for the Men in Green

Check out the video of Babar Azam's dismissal as Stuart Broad bowls a stunner!

14 Aug, 18:56 (IST)

OUT! Babar Azam is the first wicket for the day as Stuart Broad does the job and he gets OUT on 47. EDGED & TAKEN by Jos Buttler. Azam misses out on 50 by three runs only. Beautiful delivery by Broad! 

14 Aug, 18:23 (IST)

So all eyes are on Babar Azam, as he is just five runs away from bringing up yet another fifty! Would be quite an innings by the Pakistani player. Fans can't wait for yet another prolific innings and thus have posted tweets on social media. Check a few of them below:

Fawad Alam, playing his first international match in 11 years, was out for a four-ball duck after failing to read Chris Woakes in-nipper delivery to his pads. The umpire had initially adjudged not-out but changed his decision after England review. Babar Azam batted part from the rest and scored 25 runs, which included a gorgeous boundary to the on-side.

Anderson was the key for England and took the opening two wickets. He trapped Masood in his second over and then returned after lunch to dismiss the opposite captain before he could go big. Abid Ali scored a fighting half-century but nicked to second slip of Sam Curran. Asad Shafiq fell to Stuart Broad’s trap outside the off-stump.
