Before lunch, captain Ben Stokes made a last-ditch effort to get Wood in, and he was immediately rewarded with Nawaz being caught by wicketkeeper Ollie Pope.

Pope made a diving catch to his left after Wood forced Shakeel to play a draw off a short ball that caught his glove in his subsequent over.
Pakistan resumed play on 198-4 after losing Faheem Ashraf for 10 in the sixth over of the day, caught at slip to give spinner Joe Root his 50th victim.
