  1. Pak 514-8

    Or not.

    Shaheen sneaks a single.

  2. Pak 513-8

    This over from Gus Atkinson will be the last before tea. The England seamer will at least have four balls at Shaheen Afridi...

  3. Pak 512-8

    Salman 77, Shaheen 12

    An over of Joe Root fails to bring about the wicket England crave. Shaheen needs little invitational to club the ball over mid-wicket for a four that bounces just in front of the rope.

  4. I wonder if Chris has considered a job in motivational speaking.

    This is the 3rd time McCullum's England have conceded 500, but I think they won the previous 2.

    Chris, Oldbury (clinging to hope)

  6. Pak 508-8

    Salman 77, Shaheen 8

    There is not a lot of oomph in those Gus Atkinson bouncers. He has bowled 24 overs now so you can't blame him.

    That was great shot from Salman Ali Agha. He steps outside the leg stump and gives himself that room to hit it past mid-wicket. It was a well-adjusted shot from Salman.

  8. Pak 504-8

    A creaking Gus Atkinson is down at 80ph and his short ball is flogged to the mid-wicket boundary.

    Salman is eyeing a century before the declaration.

  9. Gus Atkinson is back with nine minutes to go until tea.

  10. Pak 500-8

    After that review, another thrash to the leg side by Salman Ali Agha helps Pakistan on their way to 500. That's the fourth four in the past two overs.

  11. Not out

    It has pitched outside leg stump and wouldn't have turned enough to hit them.

    Ollie Pope was persuaded into that by his team-mates.

  12. England's fielders have disappeared back to their positions after one replay.

    This will be Ollie Pope's 12th failed review.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Honestly, I thought there was some bat involved in this.

  14. England review

    England are reviewing against Salman Ali Agha but I have no idea what for.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    As soon as he got to fifty, you had the feeling Salman Ali Agha was going to play some shots and see if they can get England in after the tea.

  16. Pak 491-8

    Salman 63, Shaheen 5

    Alex gets her wish as Salman Ali Agha turns his stance around completely as the ball comes down to reverse sweep Shoaib Bashir.

    A second boundary comes in the over when he lofts the off-spinner down the ground.

    11 from it. No look at Shaheen Afridi for England.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Salman Ali Agha has been patient out there in the middle so far. I'd like to see him play some shots now.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Salman Ali Agha

    For the fourth time in this innings, a Pakistan batter gets to fifty. Salman Ali Agha waves his bat towards the dressing room before keeping the strike again.

    He had that brief spell after lunch where he looked like he wanted to attack but has otherwise been becalmed.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I would expect England to not go out there and be reckless with their batting. The wicket still looks quite flat.

  20. Pak 475-8

    Shaheen Afridi plays a shotReuters

    Salman Ali Agha steals the strike after a misfield much to England's frustration. They have only had five deliveries at Shaheen Afridi so far.
