Bairstow and Chris Woakes have the calibre to carve out a lead of some description, but Pakistans determination to secure a share of the series has been palpable throughout this contest. It would be an astonishing turn-around from here.In spite of their precarious situation, England batted with confidence from the outset, with Bairstow especially belligerent as he resolved to play his natural attacking game. After taking a handful of overs to find his range, he laid into a slightly subdued Pakistan attack with three rifled drives for four off Amir and Wahab Riaz, whose fierce initial pace was tempered when Oxenford handed him his second warning for following through down the pitch. One more transgression and he will be removed from the attack. Irving Fryar Patriots Jersey. It was the less ferocious wiles of Sohail that finally prised the opening, as Ballance - who had been lining up the left-armers with confidence as they angled the ball back into his pads - found the right-armers seam and swing less easy to comprehend. Sohails fourth delivery of the morning was a triumph of line and length, as he pitched the ball on the left-handers off stump, found a modicum of movement off the seam and some steepling extra bounce to take the edge and climb through to Sarfraz Ahmed.Moeen, coming off the back of a brilliant first-innings hundred, immediately got off the mark with a flicked four off the pads and he too resolved to remain as fluent as possible as England sought to chisel away at their deficit.Yasir, whose confidence appeared to have been restored by his three-wicket burst on the third evening, struggled at first for the same impact and Moeen cashed in with a yawning straight six over long-on. But, having begun to find a decent rhythm from around the wicket as he targeted the rough outside the left-handers off stump, Yasir claimed the big breakthrough with the one that went straight on. Anticipating the spin, Moeen was instead suckered by extra bounce, and Sarfraz behind the stumps took a sharp edge with a hint of a juggle.Bairstow remained unmoved, and in the course of his innings, he became only the second player, after VVS Laxman in 2002, to score 900-plus runs in a year batting at No. 6 or lower. But hell need to take that tally considerably closer to 1000 to give England a chance in this contest.
