It was Cook's third double century in Test cricket, and his second highest after the 294 he made against India in Birmingham in 2011. Cook fell in the 191st over of the innings, top-edging a sweep off Shoaib Malik to Shan Masood at backward square leg. He hit only 18 boundaries, which meant he ran 191 runs in the extremely hot conditions.

We're back for the afternoon session. The players are back on the field. Shoaib Malik to begin proceedings.
...DAY 4, second session...
Just a reminder - this is a massive Lunch break as the players go in to offer prayers. We will be back after a while - at 0930 GMT (1500 IST). Take some rest and come back.
Pakistan have bowled well but this road has nothing in it - just runs and runs and runs. The deficit is now 123 and expect England to haul it, or come close to hauling it by the third session. It looks to be heading towards a dull draw, unless the home side can make something happen. Reverse swing is on offer, but they have not been able to strike.
The skipper received another reprieve today, as Sarfraz dropped him and he has made Pakistan pay. Root has given Cook excellent company and he too, has looked unperturbed.
150 minutes, 33 overs, 110 runs, no wicket. The session has belonged to Cook and Root. The skipper continues to torment Pakistan, as he grinds and grinds and grinds.
