PAK vs ENG Live Score Updates 1st Test Day 3: Zak Crawley, Joe Root Key As England Look To Avoid Follow-On

Pakistan vs England Live Score 1st Test Day 3: England will resume at 96/1 on Day 3 of the 1st Test, trailing Pakistan by 460 runs in Multan. Zak Crawley's run-a-ball unbeaten 64 gave England a strong start after Pakistan posted a mammoth 556 in the first innings.

England need another 261 to avoid a follow-on -- a task eminently achievable on a pitch offering no help to bowlers. (Live Scorecard)
