  1. Pakistan review

    Pak 150-7

    It's worth the wait because Josh Tongue surely has two in two!

    Ali Usman is hit plumb in front, the umpire raises his finger but he reviews. Looks out to me.

  2. Pak 150-6

    We've got a delay before the next delivery because Josh Tongue has broken the stump with that wicket ball!

  3. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on Test Match Special

    The drive from Salman Ali Agha, inside edge, just a feather. But, it's a beauty, getting in between the bat and pad. It just goes straight through.

    That partnership was just starting to get going as well.

  4. Aatif Nawaz

    Full and quick from Josh Tongue. What a delivery!

    WICKET

    Salman b Tongue 21 (Pak 150-6)

    Bowled 'im!

    Super bowling from Josh Tongue. He's not been at his best today but that is a beauty.

    Wobble-seam ball, full and jagging back sharply to peg back Salman Ali Aghar's off stump.

    The Pakistan stand-in skipper was on the drive but is beaten all ends up.

    It looks like a completely different day at the moment. It's got the real hum of Test cricket now.

  7. Pak 145-5

    Muhammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha are gradually building a useful partnership here.

    Just a pair of singles from Jofra Archer's over but they've managed to calm things doubt after those two quick wickets.

    Ollie Robinson showing that attacking the pads is the best policy, not this short stuff we've had to put up with in recent years.

    There's just been enough movement there all day. There was rain here yesterday and the clouds have lingered all day.

    There's moisture in the surface and it's been seaming around a little bit.

  10. Pak 143-5

    Rizwan 5, Salman 20

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, Dom. It wouldn't have been a hat-trick anyway...

    Meanwhile, Josh Tongue is guilty of offering too much width and twice Salman Ali Agha cashes in.

    The second boundary is off a thick edge but there was no chance for Jordan Cox at third slip as he dived to his right.

    Expensive over with 10 from it.

    Playing in a very low-level league, a friend of mine took the last two wickets of the last match of the season in consecutive deliveries. He took a wicket with his first ball in the first match of the next season. Does this count as a hat-trick?

    Mike, Lincs

    On the topic of cross-game hat-tricks, as captain I once bought myself on to bowl at the tail and took 2 in 2 to end the innings. My hat-trick ball over a year later was a half-tracker which disappeared over the trees and into the adjoining field.

    Dom, Wales

    Over to you, Sam...

  12. Pak 133-5

    Jofra Archer has not quite been at it today and gives Salman Ali Agha a freebie - short and wide outside off - that is clattered away for four.

    He ends the over with a beauty, though. That bit fuller to drag the batter forward and then getting the ball to nip away to beat the bat.

  13. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on Test Match Special

    Pakistan have had to work hard today.

    You know that the pair at the crease will keep busy though.

  14. How's stat?!

    Of the 100 pace bowlers to have bowled over 2,000 deliveries in the ball tracking era, only two bowl a good line and length more regularly than Ollie Robinson (49.7%): Muhammad Abbas (51.1%) and ⁠Scott Boland (50.4%).

  15. Pak 129-5

    Josh Tongue is back into the attack, replacing Gus Atkinson.

    Good over once more, just a pair of singles from it, but so far no one has come close to troubling the Pakistan batters in the way Ollie Robinson has.

    England will hope that changes soon, though, because Robinson's second spell - 2-17 from eight overs - is done and Jofra Archer is back for another burst.

  16. Pak 127-5

    Aerial from Muhammad Rizwan... but just wide of the mid-on fielder and away for four.

    Risky shot from the Pakistan wicketkeeper. He'll take the boundary, though - a rare one off Ollie Robinson.

    Excellent reply from Robinson. A beauty that pitches full, on the stumps and nips away past the outside edge.

  17. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Muhammad Rizwan is a busy player.

  18. Pak 123-5

    Gus Atkinson is wicketless so far but he's bowled very nicely in this spell to keep the pressure on before Ollie Robinson goes to work at the other end.

    Three singles from his latest. We've still got around 50 minutes left of this extended afternoon session.

    If Ollie Robinson can do this, I expect Muhammad Abbas to bowl England out for about 12.

  20. Pak 120-5

    Joe Root is going on the offensive here, he senses an opportunity.

    Three slips, a leg slip and a short leg - as well as the keeper up to the stumps.

    Muhammad Rizwan's response? To attempt a slog-sweep that sends the ball spiralling up and over the slip for two.

    This could be fun!
