    I don't think Pakistan have done their research on the England players. It looks like they haven't researched the game enough, given some of the deliveries they are giving.

    This is a great chance for Pakistan though, two new batters out there.

  2. Eng 205-4published at 46 overs

    Lead by 34

    Harry Brook is off the mark with a quick single off Ali Usman but Pakistan are suddenly that much more lively in the field.

    There's plenty of noise coming from those around the bat, who had been so flat just a few minutes ago.

    Harry Brook has four hundreds from 10 innings against Pakistan for an average of 84.10 - his highest against any opponent.

    He is fifth on the all time list of batting averages against Pakistan for those batters to have played 10 innings or more.

    1. Ted Dexter: 93.62 (10 inns)
    2. ⁠Virender Sehwag: 91.14 (14 inns)
    3. Garry Sobers: 89.45 (13 inns)
    4. Geoff Boycott: 84.42 (10 inns)
    5. Harry Brook: 84.10 (10 inns)

    Can someone remind our batters that reviews are there for when you don't *think* you're out, not when you wish you weren't? All three absolute shockers.

    Lead by 33

    Dan Lawrence, on his return to the Test side, comes in at six and is off the mark with a clip to leg.

    He gets back for two. A bit of a rebuild needed for England.

    A much-needed boost for Pakistan.

    It's been three really poor review decisions. Joe Root would've known that was dead. All three have been absolutely dead.

    Reviews are so important, if you burn through them, it can lose you the game.

    Two wickets, two overs and England have lost two reviews. Two casual shots, that's just what happens.

    Root lbw b Khurram 66 (Eng 202-4)

    Absolutely plumb and Pakistan have got two quick wickets.

    It's a shocking review from Joe Root. He was probably just stunned that he'd missed that ball as he went across his stumps and tried to whip leg side.

    Once he did miss it, though, it was never missing the stumps. Three reds, important wicket for Khurram Shahzad, and England are out of reviews.

    Root got a century in his first innings as captain, he can't repeat the trick second time round.

    It looks like it's hitting middle and leg.

  10. England reviewpublished at 44.4 overs

    I think Joe Root is in trouble here.

    He reviews after being given out lbw but I think that one is plumb. Big wicket for Khurram Shahzad and Pakistan if it's confirmed.

    Cox will be fuming there. Few better opportunities for a Test ton than that!

    This is perfect for Brook. Almost 200 on board, 44-over-old ball & at home ground - strap in.

    Harry Brook is the new batter but it's Joe Root, who reverse swept nicely for four to start the previous over, on strike.

    The skipper adds four more with a crisply struck cut shot to take England to 200.

    Disappointment for Jordan Cox. It was a very quiet appeal, not celebratory at all.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 44 overs

    Cox c Rizwan b Usman 73 (Eng 198-2)

    There's a spike on UltraEdge and Jordan Cox has to go.

    It was nicely bowled by Ali Usman but a bit of a nothing shot by Cox, just fiddling at it outside off stump.

    His confusion over whether he edged it comes from the fact his bat got caught slightly on his pad as he played the shot.

    The end of a positive innings from Cox but he'll feel he's left a fair few runs out there.

    He's misread the length, I think he's nicked it.

    What's happening here? It's all a bit odd but Jordan Cox has been given out caught behind.

    He looks bemused and calls for a review.

    Jordan Cox found the boundary three times in that over against Khurram Shazad. He is batting far deeper in the crease than Root, playing all the deliveries from the seamer within 2m from the stumps.

    As a result of being deep in the crease, Cox can capitalise on any missed length at Khurram's pace and score quickly. Cox has 29 runs from 16 deliveries faced from the seamer now.

    Lead by 20

    That will make Khurram Shahzad feels a bit better - a maiden.

    He hangs the ball outside off stump, trying to tempt Jordan Cox to go after it. The England number three does look keen to play some shots but restrains himself to let a couple go through to the keeper.

    One of the AskCricViz questions has had us stumble onto something very interesting on Joe Root.

    With this partnership with Jordan Cox, Root has now registered 50-plus partnerships with 45 distinct partners in Tests, the joint-most partners, tied with Shivnarine Chanderpaul from West Indies.

    Also interestingly, this partnership with Cox is the 88th time Root has been involved in a 100-plus partnership, the joint-most in Test history on par with Rahul Dravid from India.

    These two have just batted because the bowling has allowed them to play like this. If you watch Root bat, it's like he's in second gear but he's on 50 without having to take many chances.

    Pakistan just don't have that venom.
