    This is when you need something more than a part-time spinner.

    Mark, Bristol

  2. Phil Tufnell

    The seamers have done well but that's the skill of a captain to be able to tell when something needs changing and now we have spin.

  3. Pak 91-3

    Ah, here's Dan Lawrence for his first over of the innings.

    The spinner's opening delivery slips down the leg side and runs away for four byes, but Shan Masood can't score off the next five balls.

  4. Gus Atkinson who averages 23.62 from 19 Tests, Matt?

    Gus Atkinson clearly the weak link in this attack. Was terrible in Australia - it's clearly Robinson, Tongue, probably Archer and one other.

    Matt, London

  6. Pak 87-3

    A couple of leg byes and a single off Jofra Archer's over, with the England seamer also striking Saud Shakeel on the forearm with a short delivery.

    Pakistan have scored 34 from five overs since lunch.

    Really good knock by Shakeel. He's gone about it his own way. He's moved his feet nicely. Anything too full he has really got a good stride to. Well done.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Saud Shakeel

    Pak 84-3

    A half-century for Saud Shakeel!

    The left-hander top-edges a pull for four off Gus Atkinson, adds two through third and brings up the landmark off the penultimate ball of the over, driving another boundary down the ground.

    Having to move to his fifty from 54 balls, he blocks out Atkinson's final ball.

    Belief and grit and bravery to get through the awkward part is important as a batsman.

    They're trying to turn the tables and Pakistan are doing it nicely here.

  10. Pak 74-3

    Saud Shakeel moves to 40, pushing three deep into the covers.

    England again check the shape of the ball in this over, and once again it passes the rings without issue.

    It's getting a bit frustrating for the England bowlers here.

  12. Pak 68-3

    Four more for Saud Shakeel, timing Gus Atkinson nicely through backward point.

    He moves to 37, having faced 47 deliveries as of the end of the over.

    Prior to that, an off-side single for Shan Masood brought up the fifty partnership off 67 balls.

  13. Pak 63-3

    A good start for Pakistan as Jofra Archer's first ball squares up Saud Shakeel and squirts off the bat for four at point.

    A two at backward square follows before Archer sends a delivery down the leg side that Shakeel propels to the boundary.

    After 10 runs off the first three balls of the session England ask the umpires to check the shape of the ball - it's fine, no excuses for Jofra, who does then finish with three dots.

  14. Right, we're ready to get going again.

    Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel, on 15 and 23 respectively, have walked out to the middle alongside the England team.

    Jofra Archer will take the first over after the interval.

  15. England were bowled out for 208 this morning, thereby setting Pakistan a target of 389 to win.

    The hosts' second innings came to an end when Babar Azam pulled off this impressive direct hit to remove Josh Tongue.

    It is good to see players improve and grow into Test match cricket. Jamie Smith's glove work is on a different level now to when he started.

  17. How's stat?!

    Muhammad Abbas is the seventh Pakistan bowler to take a five-fer on this ground.

    Most recently Yasir Shah took six in the first innings in 2016 and then four more in the second innings. And Mohammad Amir took five in 2010.

  18. Pakistan might be heading towards a defeat, but Muhammad Abbas has a silver lining.

    The veteran Pakistan seamer got his name on the Lord's honours board for the first time this morning, finishing with figures of 5-57.

    Abbas finishes with 5-57 after brilliant bowling display

    All going according to plan for England. They hope there won't be interruptions from any rain and once you get to about five wickets down you'r into the tail here, so the prospects of play tomorrow are very thin.

  20. Thanks Ffion.

    Things are going swimmingly for England, they'll be enjoying their lunch.

    According to the Lord's account on X, that's a choice of fillet of beef, fillet of cod, stir-fried chicken or tomato and basil penne pasta.

    Tasty!
