    We're lucky in the TMS box because we have a window and that made a marvellous sound off the bat.

    Saud Shakeel is just starting to tick. I think you need to give him an over of bouncers because he's not going to duck.

    His drive was one of the best all series from either team.

  2. Pak 108-3published at 28 overs

    Lovely shot from Saud Shakeel, driving Jofra Archer powerfully to the right of cover.

    He then sends Archer's final ball up in the air, but the ball lands safely between the converging fielders at fine and square leg.

  3. Pak 101-3published at 27 overs

    Shan Masood denies Ollie Robinson a maiden, sending the final delivery of the over past the cordon for two.

    That takes Pakistan past 100 - a decent recovery having been 14-3.

    Prior to that, Robinson beat the edge of Masood a couple of times, with some good wicket-keeping from Jamie Smith, who is standing up to the stumps.

    Relentless Robinson finishes with 4-11 in brilliant performance

    Ollie Robinson has taken 21 wickets this summer averaging 8.6.

    I looked at English bowlers in Test summers with at least 10 wickets and it's the second lowest since Tony Lock in 1958 when he averaged 7.4 with 34 wickets from 5 Tests.

    And the only bowler with 10 wickets and a lower average than Robinson currently since then is Phil Tufnell in 1997. One game, 11 for 93 against Australia.

    With his metronomic accuracy, could Ollie Robinson become England's Glenn McGrath?

  6. Pak 99-3published at 26 overs

    Nicely done by Saud Shakeel.

    The Pakistan number five gets on top of a Jofra Archer bouncer and swivels to pull it through backward square for four.

    Ollie Robinson is going to come back on at the other end.

    Shan Masood's been hit here on his hand. The last thing Pakistan need is another injury.

    It looks to me like he's got strapping on there already.

  8. Pak 95-3published at 25.2 overs

    The second ball after the restart and Jofra Archer strikes Shan Masood on the glove.

    The Pakistan batter runs a single, but the physio is then called on for freeze spray and a bit of taping.

    Good test of our hyped bowling attack. For the first time Pakistan are striking back… how will England respond?

    OK, the covers are now off and the stumps are being put back in - we'll be resuming at 15:15 BST.

    Tea will be taken from 16:40-17:00 with the evening session lasting from 17:00-19:00.

    I was trying to describe to my German (and very non-cricketing wife) why listening to cricket commentary was so comforting and engaging… I couldn’t find a compelling example and then Tuffers said, ‘I’m not sure I would have liked to have been a cat back in the day’ - perfect.

    Now the sun is shining brightly and the ground staff are taking one of the sheets off.

    I think they have the instruction to roll the cover up.

    It is good that Pakistan are showing some fight. Unlike Headingley, they seem to have the mindset that they are in this game.

    The ground staff are currently wiping surface water off the top of the covers - quite a lot came down there.

    The overhead conditions seem to be a mix of dark cloud and blue skies.

    Pakistan build a good partnership and already the jury’s out for some on the bowling. Other teams are allowed to play well too - that’s what makes Test cricket fun!!

    Oh dear, it's hosing down. There's sudden panic in the Grand Stand.

    It's going to blow through very, very quickly.

    A sudden heavy squall!

    The players and even the umpires hare off the pitch at the end of this Dan Lawrence maiden, bowled to Saud Shakeel.

    Excellent counter-attacking innings from Saud Shakeel to take on the English seamers.

    Shakeel has played to his strength of scoring heavily through the off side, in front and behind square. Across his career he usually scored 53% of his runs through that region, on par with the 30 (60%) of his 50 runs in that zone today.

    I've liked this determination from Saud Shakeel with a bit of technique as well. It's his fastest fifty in Test cricket and he's not played the pitch either.

  20. Pak 94-3published at 24 overs

    A direct hit from point!

    The umpires take a look as Saud Shakeel is sent back, but the Pakistan batter has just about grounded his bat in time.

    Three runs off that Jofra Archer over.
