Is it bad if I want it to rain today as I have day four tickets? If it doesn’t rain, does anyone have any ideas what I could do in Leeds tomorrow?

Pakistan have started with spin straight away. Ali Usman did cause some trouble last night for England. He completely deceived two set batsmen yesterday.
A bit of early movement for Muhammad Abbas, getting one to beat Jamie Smith's outside edge. Smith later takes a single.
Spinner Ali Usman will be hoping to add to his 5-92 at the other end.

Yesterday, Pakistan had looked like they hadn't been playing any cricket. They looked rusty, inconsistent with the bowling. The fielding was awful, it was like a throwback to the 70s.
They've really got to up their game here, it feels as if it's too late though.
Image source, ReutersThe players are out in the middle at a sunny Headingley.
England are 366-8 leading by 195 runs. Jamie Smith resumes on 16 (35), Jofra Archer is yet to get off the mark.
Muhammad Abbas will kick off day three with the ball.

England's preparation before this was far from ideal. Pakistan's missed opportunity in that first innings was forcing the bowlers to come back for a third or fourth spell.
Ramiz Raja
Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special
For Pakistan, I just want them to bring some fight for England, see if they can push it to five days.
It's about picking out the positives and building from there. I just want them to bring the fight.

The one area I would talk about is this England side training the brain to bat for 110-120 overs in the first innings of a Test match.
They've still only batted just over 80 overs and they're eight wickets down so they won't bat 110 overs. Yes, they're miles ahead of the game, they're going to this Test match but if they want to be a quality side, against better bowling attacks, they've got to train the brain to bat for that little bit longer in the first innings.

'Hometown boy' Brook reaches half-century
Harry Brook top-scored for England, punishing Pakistan's stand-in skipper Salman Agha for dropping him on one by posting 91 (93).
Chief cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew hailed Brook's innings, saying he "will score a million runs if he keeps batting like this".
England go in to day three on top with a 195-run lead
England resumed on 112-2 and half-centuries from Jordan Cox (73), Joe Root (66), Harry Brook (91) and Dan Lawrence (51) helped them ease past Pakistan's total of 171 and extend their lead towards 200.
Spinner Ali Usman checked England's momentum late in the day, striking four times in quick succession - including removing Gus Atkinson and Ollie Robinson with consecutive deliveries - to complete his maiden Test five-fer, but the hosts remain very much on top.
England will resume on 366-8.
Hello all! Day three of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Headingley.
England have built a first-innings lead of 195 with two wickets in hand and the forecast is very promising indeed.
Can England wrap up the win inside three days or will Pakistan fight back? Only one way to find out!
