England dominate day one - report
Robinson & Tongue take five wickets each as Pakistan collapse from 117-3 to 171 all out
Hmmmm, it's really not clicking for Jofra Archer today.
He whizzes down a mid-over 87mph rocket, full as you like, but his length is otherwise a bit squiffy. Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq each pick up boundaries with delightful drives.
Only a determined chase from Ollie Robinson, flicking the ball away from the rope, denies Pakistan a third four.
This shows where the ball pitched for all of Imam-ul-Haq's dismissals in Test cricket in the last two years - there's a definite area for the bowlers to target.

Pakistan's 50 is up, the recovery is on.
Too short from Gus Atkinson and cut elegantly through point by the bespectacled Imam-ul-Haq for four. 50 up for Pakistan, who were 6-2 earlier today.
At the end of the over, Joe Root has a lengthy chinwag with Harry Brook.

Surely Joe Root isn’t already doing what he used to do… just let games drift a little and over bowl his favourites. Early days I suppose.

We're only 17 overs in, Rae - and we've had a lengthy rain delay as well! Give the man a chance...

Movement pre and post lunch:
Maiden for Jofra Archer - his third of the day but he's yet to really threaten the Pakistan batters.

He's thrashing the ball straight back but not being engaged with playing away from his body, forcing England to change their field because the slip cordon wasn't even in play.
There is a strategy in this from the left-handers.

Just 8% of balls left off Robinson's first eight overs this morning - his lowest leave percentage from his first eight overs of any Test match played in England.
Imam-ul-Haq 19 (41), Shafique 22 (34)
Imam-ul-Haq drives an overpitched delivery from Gus Atkinson through mid-on for four after Abdullah Shafique gets off strike with a single.
The partnership is building nicely for Pakistan. They've put on 42 off 67 deliveries.
Jofra Archer is returning to the attack, replacing Ollie Robinson (2-22 from eight).
Ollie Robinson is landing it on a sixpence today.

It's important that Pakistan look for the singles. Rotating the strike will help them to grow, especially this partnership.
What was I saying about settling in?
Ollie Robinson gets wise to Pakistan's post-lunch tactic of stepping into his bowling and goes full to Abdullah Shafique, getting a bit of nip too. Leg and bat get in a knot.
Single from the over. Tidy stuff.

How often have two Sussex players opened the bowling for England? I think we might be going back to Gilligan and Tate about 100 years ago. Will the ECB reverse their decision to deduct points from Sussex (please)?!
Matthew, Haywards Heath
Hello Matthew. David in Eastbourne got in touch about this during the morning session - his offering was James Lillywhite and Fred Tate at The Oval in 1902 vs Australia.
Either way, it's been a while.
Imam-ul-Haq gets in on the boundary action, helping Gus Atkinson through gully for four.
It's the only scoring shot of the over but both he and Abdullah Shafique are starting to settle.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It's about partnerships, remaining in the present moments. Pakistan's record here is not great but you can't enter a Test match thinking about the past, you have to look at the present and what's in front of you.
There's great rhythm in this partnership, they've looked pretty secure.

Taha, Bristol
Abdullah Shafique gobbles up a rare loose delivery from Ollie Robinson, driving through the covers for four. Delicious.
Seven off the over.
Isa Guha
Former England bowler on BBC Two
I think Pakistan would be content with 250 here, given the conditions. Knowing that the pitch here gets better as a Test goes on though, they'd love 300.
There are groans from several of the England fielders and applause from captain Joe Root as Gus Atkinson gets Abdullah Shafique to flail at a wobbly one outside his off-stump. Comfortably beaten.
