    This is merciless from the cricketing Gods. Even the edges are falling short and going for four.

  2. Eng 453-9

    More frustration for Pakistan as Josh Tongue edges the second ball of Mohammad Ali's over through the cordon for four.

    This last-wicket partnership worth 43 runs now.

    This is the type of performance we've been looking for with England for a long while it feels like. The type of performance where, when on top, they really drive it home and take it away from the opponent and not keep the door open in some way Great stuff!

  4. Eng 448-9

    England's lead 315. We're close to tea but with one wicket to take play will continue a little while beyond.

  5. How's stat?!

    Razaullah has registered an average speed of 87.1 mph across this innings. February 2021 was the last time a Pakistan bowler bowled more than 20 overs in a Test innings and averaged over 87 mph (Shaheen Shah Afridi v South Africa, Rawalpinidi).

    I don't think there's much they can do for that. That's a horrible feeling when it happens.

  7. ouch!

    Eng 447-9

    Razaullah Khan push it back of a length and hits Josh Tongue near the crown jewels. Jofra Archer checks on the welfare of his team-mate, who manages to steady himself and takes a few deep breaths.

    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    That was more of a swipe. That can get you get you in a bit of trouble but Jofra Archer hit it like it was a football.

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 446-9

    Jofra Archer takes on the bouncer from Razaullah Khan and a top edge six carries down over the head of fine leg for six.

    Archer has 31 off 26 balls.

    England are not rubbing salt in the wound here, more hammering it in.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    It's good when your bowlers get runs. It lifts the mood and they will be chomping at the bit to get out there and take wickets.

  11. Eng 438-9

    Pakistan's cordon have their hands in their pockets, or cuffs of long sleeve jumpers pulled down.

    Josh Tongue fancies a little bit more time batting.

    He's happy to see off five dots from Muhammad Abbas before unfurling the kind of cover drive for four a top-order bat would be proud of.

  12. Eng 434-9

    Jofra Archer continues his assault on the Pakistan attack by waspishly smearing Razaullah Khan through the covers for four.

    A man dressed in the Hollies as a lobster waves a claw triumphantly.

    England's lead up to 301 at the conclusion of the over.

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

    You just have to laugh that Pakistan are probably going to bat when it's dark out here. It feels like an impending disaster for them with the bat.

    They'll hope they can show something in the second innings and they can bat until late tomorrow. They don't want to lose all 10 wickets later today.

  14. Eng 426-9

    Clinical driving from Josh Tongue.

    Mohammad Ali gives him a juicy full toss and it pings off Tongue's bat straight down the ground for four, all along the carpet.

    They don't have the metre reader like they do in one-day cricket but I don't think that was as big as Ollie Robinson's six.

  16. 6 runs

    Eng 421-9

    A hop and skip and Jofra Archer gives Mohammad Ali a beefy hit over cow corner for six.

    Just because Pakistan have been poor, doesn't mean we should just forget conditions of the wickets! It's been difficult to bat on at times, and as a fan I'd also rather have lots of batters getting 50+, than one or two getting 100+ scores.

    Razaullah Khan definitely has something about him. A touch of Waqar Younis in his action.

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

    I want the youngster, Razaullah, to get a five-for. I love a good story.

  20. Eng 415-9

    Jofra Archer takes on a short ball from Razaullah Khan, and the ball hangs in the air for an age as Azan Awais runs in from deep square.

    However, he cannot quite get there in time.

    England lead by 281 runs.
