    A full toss from Adil Rashid and Salman Agha top edges it high towards deep sqaure leg.

    Gus Atkinson takes few steps forward being taking a comfortable catch

    Something about something gets wickets.

  2. Pak 79-3

    Adil Rashid continues.

    Having biffed the England leg-spinner over his head in the previous over, Salman Agha crisply sweeps Rashid for four.

    A partnership is needed here for Pakistan. Salman Agha and Saad Baig have to stick together here until at least 25/26 overs and look to accelerate later on.

  4. Pak 74-3

    The stands at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium look quite a bit fuller than they did at the start of play, so perhaps quite a few people drifting in when it's a little cooler and they have finished work.

    Jamie Overton continues to plug away. The loyal workhorse for this period in the game.

    Salman Agha opens the face to pick up a couple off the final delivery of the over.

  5. Jansen counter-attack boosts South Africa against Australia

    Elsewhere in the world, Marco Jansen is playing a very good hand for South Africa to boost their hopes in the second Test against Australia.

    After Australia dominated the 30 overs possible on day two, Jansen has counter-attacked with a 43-ball fifty to lift South Africa from 110-6 to 180-6.

    Captain Temba Bavuma remains at the other end on 62 from 157 balls.

  6. Pak 70-3

    A good comeback from Adil Rashid after his first delivery disappeared to the fence as he back it up with four dots.

    Salman Agha's deft sweep allows him to keep the strike.

  7. Pak 69-3

    England skipper Harry Brook summons Adil Rashid.

    Salman Agha advances to the leg-spinner's fist ball and bops it over the head of mid-off for four.

  8. Pak 65-3

    Another handy over from Jamie Overton, who is an asset to Harry Brook and England during these middle overs.

    Salman Agha picks up a single off the fourth ball of his over with a punch off a short ball, but otherwise miserly from the England seamer.

  10. Pakistan 64-3 at drinks

    The umpires decide, with Salman Agha needing some attention on sore digits, that it's a suitable juncture to take drinks.

  11. ouch!

    Pak 64-3

    Salman Agha looking a little tentative early in his innings.

    The ball just pops up off the glove following a short delivery at the start of Jamie Overton's over.

    Salman requires the physio.

  12. Pak 64-3

    Close! Salman Agha spoons his first ball just over the head of Will Jacks as he gets off the mark in a rather nervous fashion.

    The final ball of the over is a freebie from Jacks - short and wide - is cut away by Saad Baig for four.

    Jacks has 1-15 from five overs.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Will Jacks has been getting a little bit of turn and this is right on the money.

    It's a bit of a nothing shot from Babar Azam and he gets himself in a tangle.

    Good bowling from Jacks.

    WICKET

    Babar b Jacks 34 (Pak 59-3)

    Pakistan's Babar Azam is bowled by England's Will JacksReuters

    Reward for Will Jacks and it's the big one!

    Jamie Overton with a tight-ish over and England get the breakthrough they have wanted and Jacks' persistence and accuracy pays off.

    The England all-rounder manages to get one to skid on and Babar Azam decides to go back to one and is bowled through the gate.

    Babar slumps on to his bat.

  15. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I still want to see England use their two bouncers to Babar Azam here. When it's around his throat is when he struggles.

    I want Jamie Overton to use two bouncers to Azam each over.

  16. Pak 54-2

    Four useful overs from Will Jacks, who has held his length pretty well, so far.

    Said Baig and Babar Azam manage to eke out three singles from the over.

  17. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    A good start by England. Now the question is whether they can continue to take wickets through the middle overs to really put the pressure on Pakistan.

  18. Pak 51-2

    Jamie OvertonGetty Images

    Jamie Overton is summoned by England captain Harry Brook.

    Overton's second delivery is short and Babar Azam takes on the pull, but ends up gloving it round the corner for a single.

    Saad Baig has a bit of a fish at another shorter one later in the over.

  19. How's stat?!

    Babar Azam has a superb ODI record in Pakistan with an average of 62.56. He is particularly dominant against spinners, where his average rises to 76.92 at home.

  20. Pak 50-2

    Will Jacks is doing a useful job for England captain Harry Brook here.

    The all-rounder has 0-6 off his three overs.

    Jacks' final delivery is poked at by Babar Azam but the edge bounces and beats the diving Brook at slip to allow the Pakistan batter to keep the strike.
