edge off

Eddie has now been prescribed a sedative medication to help him stay calm through firework season, but Amanda said though it helps, it only "takes the edge off".

While some Angelenos fill their stomachs to calm their nerves, proponents of the “Emotional Freedom Technique” take the edge off by executing a series of esoteric stress-relief exercises.

From 24-3 overnight, Harry Brook and Joe Root began with confidence, only for Brook's edge off Noman to start an England capitulation of seven wickets for 46 runs.

Resuming on 16, with Pakistan 73-3, Shakeel had added 10 when a thick edge off Bashir hit Jamie Smith on the knee.

Ghulam was able to build another partnership of 65 with Mohammed Rizwan, the wicketkeeper crucially surviving an edge off Potts which England did not review.
