Summary

Have your say on England men this summer

Live Reporting

  1. Early change of bowling as Gus Atkinson is brought on for Jofra Archer, who didn't concede a run but didn't quite find his rhythm in his first two overs.

    Joe Root has seen enough for now, though.

  2. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Headingley

    It had been a little flat here even with that wicket first ball but Robinson’s second scalp brought about the first hearty rendition of the Great Escape from England’s fans.

  3. Pak 7-2

    The end of another successful over from Ollie Robinson.

    Ball-tracking shows that lbw was about as plumb as it is possible to get. Pitching in line, hit bang in front and going on to hit halfway up middle.

    Abdullah Shafique, the first r0ght-hander we've seen today, is the new batter for Pakistan and is off the mark with an inside edge down to fine leg.

  4. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That swung very late and it was very full. As a left hander, when you get donked on the pad, you know it's done.

    Ollie Robinson is finding that brave full length that isn't that easy to find at Headingley.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Masood lbw b Robinson 5 (Pak 6-2)

    No doubt about that one!

    Change of angle from Ollie Robinson, over the wicket and he swings one back to hit Shan Masood plumb in front.

    Full ball, Masood played all round it and is hit on the shin. He wisely decides against a review. More fantastic bowling from Robinson.

  6. From the press box

    'Out first ball!' - Robinson strikes with first ball of the morning

    Mazher Arshad on X: Today was the first time in Pakistan’s 74-year Test history that they have lost a wicket on the very first ball of a series.

  7. Not out

    Pak 3-1

    RobinsonPA Media

    No good for England this time.

    Impact was well outside the line of off stump.

    Imam-ul-Haq survives and both sides have now lost a review.

  8. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    England have given up on this.

  9. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I don't even think this is hitting the stumps, I think he's a long way across.

  10. England review

    Pak 3-1

    Big appeal for lbw from England as Ollie Robinson gets another to jag back and rap Imam-ul-Haq on the back leg.

    Not out is the decision on the field but Joe Root sends it upstairs.

  11. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    In English Tests, Archer bowls 60cm fuller on average to left-handed batters (8.0m v 7.4cm) and challenges the stumps more (11% v left-handers/8% v right-handers).

  12. Pak 3-1

    Jofra Archer is just struggling with his line a bit in this over, sending a couple down leg and then over-correcting with a ball that is well wide of off.

    Another slides down leg but the fast bowler does make Shan Masood play at the last. Another maiden.

  13. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Big toss to win for England who choose to bowl first at Headingley.

    Sides bowling first have won seven of the last nine games (78%) since 2015 - at no ground globally do sides bowling first win more often.

    Ollie Robinson, when fit, is justifiably making a claim to be the best opening new-ball bowler in Test cricket.

    Tattz in Harborne

  15. Pak 3-1

    That is a remarkable stat from Steph. If they can both stay fit, though, it gives England a potent new-ball pairing.

    Ollie Robinson gets through another good over, getting the ball to move both ways off the seam, and there is just a single from it - dropped into the covers by Shan Masood.

  16. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport cricket correspondent at Headingley

    This is the first time Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer have played in a Test together.

  17. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Jofra Archer's bowling average in Tests:

    • v right-handers: 40 wkts @ 32.37
    • v left-handers: 31 wkts @ 24.58

  18. Pak 2-1

    There are four left-handers in Pakistan's top five and Jofra Archer will be delighted with that. He has a fabulous record against lefties.

    He starts with a maiden and finds Imam-ul-Haq's edge but the the ball drops short of the slip cordon.

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Azan Awais is the second Pakistan opener to get out off the first ball, the other was Mohsin Khan in the eighties.

    It's the sixth time an England bowler has struck on the opening ball of a Test, the last to do it was Jimmy Anderson on the boxing day Test in 2019.

    What a dramatic first over.
