I’ll leave you with Ali Martin’s report of another sensational day’s play, and we’ll see you again for Karachi. Peace out.

Sky have finished their coverage, so I guess that means the end of ours. It’s another Test win for the Testvangelists, another Test series-win for the Testvangelists, and we’re very lucky to have them in our lives. They’re everything the game needs, and I can scarcely believe how much they’ve changed things in how little time. I absolutely loved what Ben Stokes said earlier, about not feeling like he’s playing away from home, just that he’s playing in front of a different crowd to entertain, and show the levels to which this thing of ours can ascend. If every sport had humans of his fibre and calibre looking after them, the world would be a much better place – I hope people are taking note – but in the meantime he’s ours, and we need to wade right in to enjoying him, because he told us to and he knows.
