Have your say on England men this summer

  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 14.1 overs

    Shafique c Smith b Tongue 5 (Pak 16-2)

    Got him! Abdullah Shafique is gutted. He's battled for 32 balls and scored just five, but his resistance comes to an end.

    Josh Tongue gets the breakthrough and it's well-deserved for England after a brilliant session of bowling from all four seamers.

    That'll be lunch.

  2. Umpire reviewpublished at 14.1 overs

    Pak 16-1

    Now then! Plenty going on.

    Josh Tongue thinks that he's got Shafique caught behind, but the umpire isn't sure.

    Harry Brook just didn't get down to it. It wasn't the easiest catch, but it wasn't the hardest.

  4. dropped catch

    Azan dropped on eightpublished at 14 overs

    Pak 16-1

    On the stroke of lunch!

    Gus Atkinson creates the chance from a loose drive from Azan Awais, who edges to second slip but Harry Brook puts it down.

    It was quite low to the ground, as we saw yesterday with so many of them not carrying, but he got two hands underneath it and it should've definitely been taken.

    'Straight through him!' - Archer gets England's first wicket

    At an average speed of 90.7mph, that was Jofra Archer's quickest opening spell of a Test match across his career.

  6. Pak 16-1published at 13 overs

    Another maiden.

    Good pace from Josh Tongue, reaching 88mph, as he draws Abdullah Shafique into a couple of loose drives.

    It's been a fascinating contest between bat and ball here. Credit to Pakistan for how they've fought so far.

  7. Pak 16-1published at 12 overs

    The streak of maidens is broken as the openers take a single each off Gus Atkinson.

    Considering how well England have bowled, Pakistan will have done very well if they can make it to lunch just one wicket down.

    The discipline, speed and accuracy of Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson in these opening overs is the finest start to an innings from an England bowling attack in a long time. The motivation to bowl well has clearly not suffered as a result of the change on captaincy and management!

  9. Not outpublished at 11.1 overs

    Yep, it was given as caught behind but it came off Azan's shoulder. He knew it straight away, but it was brilliant delivery as Atkinson hasn't allowed any respite from Archer.

    It was short, fast and well-directed. Azan Awais just had to try and get out of the way.

    Well, when the batter usually goes straight up to review it usually means it has missed everything.

  11. Pakistan reviewpublished at 11.1 overs

    Another snorter! Gus Atkinson strikes with his first ball... or does he?

    Azan Awais reviews it immediately.

  12. Pak 14-1published at 11 overs

    Here's the first bowling change as Josh Tongue replaces Ollie Robinson.

    His first over isn't particularly threatening but nevertheless, that's the third maiden in a row. Pakistan are just trying to grind it out until lunch.

    15 minutes to survive.

    Azan Awais has been playing nicely, but all of a sudden there's a reaction, and you have a swipe at it because of the pace. The heart will be pumping.

    Jofra Archer's average speed by over in this innings so far

    • 1st over - 87.0 mph
    • 2nd over - 89.9 mph
    • 3rd over - 91.4 mph
    • 4th over - 92.7 mph
  15. Pak 14-1published at 10 overs

    It's pure survival mode for Pakistan at the moment.

    Jofra Archer whizzes through another maiden. He's bowled five overs - how many more does Joe Root give him?

    Pakistan are fighting hard.

    They will still want to be batting by the end of the day, but it is going to be tricky.

  17. Pak 14-1published at 9 overs

    At the other end of the spectrum, Ollie Robinson just keeps nibbling it past the outside edge with the keeper up to the stumps.

    A reminder that lunch will be taken at 13:15 because of the time lost yesterday. That can't come quick enough for Azan Awais and Abdullah Shafique.

    That is a hostile delivery from Jofra Archer.

    Joe Root has a smile on his face.

    This is spicy stuff at Lord's.

    You have just seen one whistle past your ears at 94mph... but then you still have the presence of mind to move your feet and get your head going towards the ball. That was a good shot from Azan Awais.

    That was a testing over. That kind of real rhythm, smooth. Jofra Archer is a strong lad, but it is that silky action that he gets his pace from.

  20. Pak 14-1published at 8 overs

    This is such a good battle.

    Jofra Archer bowls a ripping 94mph bouncer before fizzing another past Azan Awais' outside edge, but the batter responds brilliantly with a glorious cover drive for four.

    Don't go anywhere, this is getting fun.
