Yasir Shah to Boult, out Caught by Sarfraz!! Yasir has 14 and Pakistan have levelled the series at 1-1. He's jumping with joy, so are the others and the celebrations will go all night in Dubai. Magnificent performance from the champion leg-spinner, his best-ever match haul in Tests. Third-best by any leg-spinner in the history of the game. Coming to the ball, it was the leg-break and Boult didn't read it, pushed forward with hope, doesn't cover for the turn and the ball grazed the outside edge. Sarfraz does the rest and that's that for this match. Boult c Sarfraz b Yasir Shah 0(2)

Five wickets for Yasir and 13 for the match, he does the sajda and then joins in the celebrations. This was the attempted wrong 'un, Wagner was setting himself up for the slog-sweep, was playing against the turn and that was always a gamble, gets it low of the bat, plenty of height, but no distance. Hasan runs in from deep mid-wicket, sets himself up for the catch and holds on. Pakistan are one wicket away from levelling the series.
