  1. Eng 377-8

    Four people dressed as bananas are jiving in the Hollies as the Barmy Army trumpeter starts to toot some tunes.

    Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer nudge and nurdle Saim Ayub into the gaps.

  2. Eng 374-8

    Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson pick up a single apiece off the last two balls of Razaullah Khan's over.

    Just seen the replay of Razaullah's reaction to the wicket. A tremendous effort from the Pakistan quick to give his best angry face.

  3. How's stat?!

    England's scoring rate of 5.57 runs per over today is the highest for any side to have batted more than 20 overs in a day in this Test summer (previous high of 4.95 rpo by England v New Zealand, Trent Bridge Day 2).

  4. England 372-8 at drinks

    The umpire's decide to take drinks at the fall of the wicket.

    Jofra Archer is England's new batter.

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

    Pakistan's Razaullah celebrates catching the ball to take the wicket of England's wicketkeeper Jamie Smith (unseen) for 69 runs on day two of the third test match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston cricket ground in BirminghamGetty Images

    I love the passion from Razaullah. Another England batsman trudges off thinking what could've been.

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Jamie Smith has chipped a chance back and the youngster has got him. Razaullah does make things happen.

    WICKET

    Smith c & b Razaullah 69 (Eng 372-8)

    Leading edge and a roar in celebration from a pumped up Razaullah Khan!

    Jamie Smith had looked he did not know whether to stick or twist in recent overs and perishes after the ball spoons back to Razaullah.

    The Pakistan quick gives Smith a bit of send off as well.

  8. Eng 387-7

    Later in the over Jamie Smith decides to biff Saim Ayub which stirs Mohammad Ali into life at deep mid-wicket but the ball thuds into the turf well short of him.

  9. Smith survives

    Jamie Smith's expression did suggest he might have hit it, but UltraEdge shows a flat line so he survives.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Jamie Smith looks a bit nervous and guilty.

  11. Pakistan review

    Jamie Smith will have an eye on a hundred here, so not quite sure he will be thrilled by Ollie Robinson deciding to pull out a reverse sweep to Saim Ayub.

    A couple of balls later and Ayub pushes one down leg side and wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghori appeals.

    Was there some bat on that?

    Pakistan decide to review.

  12. Eng 363-7

    A risky single from Ollie Robinson who decides to tap and run.

    Jamie Smith is backing up but might have been struggling if Shan Masood's shy at the stumps had hit.

    Smith has moved on to 63 not out. Robinson is unbeaten on 20.

  13. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    The white flag has been raised by Pakistan as they put fielders on the boundary for the bowling of Saim Ayub.

  14. Eng 361-7

    England's Ollie Robinson in action as he hits four runGetty Images

    Pakistan, hoping to induce a miscued slog from Ollie Robinson perhaps, revert to Saim Ayub's off spin with the field spread.

    Robinson does not take the bait, though. He's content to farm the strike with Jamie Smith.

  15. Eng 357-7

    A smattering of cranes line the city horizon beyond the City End at Edgbaston.

    The ground itself here is undergoing a redevelopment with a hotel and stand which should be ready for next year's Ashes Test being constructed where the Raglan and Priory stands used to be.

  16. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    That first four was really nicely timed by Ollie Robinson. That's off a Muhammad Abbas length and a good ball from him.

  17. Eng 353-7

    Lead by 220 runs

    Ollie Robinson fancies entertaining the Edgbaston crowd as he peels off conseuctive fours of Muhammad Abbas.

    The first is a stylish chip down the ground over mid-on. The second slightly more fortuitous via an inside edge.

  18. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    In any sport when your egos are hurt and you know you're not going to win a contest then that's the worst feeling possible.

    There needs to be some balance or fight. For Pakistan there has been no spirit or comeback here.

  19. Eng 344-7

    Excellent chance for the players to mention the "batting unit" in that instance, Dave.

    It's probably more demoralising if you know any one of those players with a half-century in the first innings could get a hundred in the second innings, I guess.

    From a bowling team's point of view is seeing batter after batter hit 50+ more or less demoralising than someone getting a big ton even if the final score is the same? Just wondering.
