With Zahid Mahmood now his batting partner, Noman Ali has decided it's time to have a swing. Two big swishes comes in this over but they only get him a single.

It's a Sunderland AFC-heavy Test match right now.

Zahid Mahmood, to his credit, shapes up pretty well throughout this Matthew Potts maiden.

It feels like this game is in the balance.

The true test will be after an of hour of England batting. We will see if the Pakistan spinners can get the ball to grip from straight.

It's going to be pace from both ends - nudge, nudge Pakistan's selectors - with Matthew Potts beginning the session from the other end.

Zahid Mahmood is only playing his third Test. His average currently stands at 4.5, although his first-class record is a slightly better 10.

Brydon Carse has been superb, hasn't he? He has three wickets for 44 runs in 18 overs on the slowest of pitches.

Zahid Mahmood is Pakistan's number 11.

England need one more to wrap this innings up.

Brilliant start from Brydon Carse.

It angled in with a wobbled seam which dips off the surface. Carse has been brilliant throughout this entire Test match and he begins this session where he left off.

Bashir has certainly looked less threatening than Jack Leach. We'll have to get some data on the comparison.

Brydon Carse will begin after lunch...

Pressure can do strange things in sport.

It can provide clarity - Trent Alexander-Arnold can calmly slot in his penalty against Switzerland to book England's place in the semi-final of the European Championships, or Keely Hodgkinson can time her race to perfection for Olympic 800m glory.

Or it can provide chaos, which was the unfortunate outcome for England's cricketers at the Women's T20 World Cup in Dubai.

Most notably in the field, they crumbled under the weight of expectation - the five dropped catches will take the headlines, but the way their heads dropped so quickly in the face of West Indies' batting aggression was concerning.

But more so, is the fact that this is not the first time.

TMS are also discussing England's exit from the Women's T20 World Cup last night.

In an effective knockout game, they were stunned by West Indies and dropped five catches in a disappointing fielding performance.

Pakistan are due to host the Champions Trophy next year but doubts remain over whether India will travel to the country.

That means the schedule is yet to be finalised with other options mooted, such as the tournament being split between Pakistan and another country.

ECB chief executive Richard Gould said: "I don't think it will be chaotic. There are more ICC meetings over this weekend. Pakistan are planning on the full tournament. There will be other contingencies in place.

"I don't think it is inevitable [that India don't play in Pakistan]. We need to recognise for Pakistan, hosting an ICC tournament for the first time in 25 years, is a significant moment. It means a lot."

More from Richard Gould on the investment into The Hundred: "One of the key things for us is when the investment comes in we get a large proportion down into the pyramid of our game.

"One of problems with franchise tournaments is they take the cream off the top and don't support the rest of the game in a country. That is not a mistake we are going to make."

ECB chief executive Richard Gould discussing the sale of The Hundred on TMS: "We have 100 parties that are very interested. There is a lot interested from India but also Pakistan, the States and UK interest. There is interest from other sports and media companies.

"Going into next week we will have a better steer in terms of values. We will be working to narrow down the options.

"We think this is a great opportunity to bring investment in."

This Test continues to be a tussle.

England started the day well with three wickets within the first 70 minutes but since an unbeaten ninth-wicket partnership of 49 between Aamer Jamal and Noman Ali has dragged Pakistan beyond 350. The runs have flowed in the past hour.

The seamers have again looked more threatening with Brydon Carse bowling a beauty to have Muhammad Rizwan caught behind in the third over and Matthew Potts dismissing Salman Ali Agha in similar fashion.

Jack Leach took the other wicket when Sajid Khan hit to short cover.

One worry for Pakistan is the fact Jamal, the one seamer in their XI, has looked in significant discomfort while batting. He seems to have done some damage to his leg.

Thanks Sam.

ECB chief executive Richard Gould is on TMS at lunch, discussing the men's England team, the women's side's exit from the T20 World Cup last night, the Hundred and more. That will be an interesting chat.

You can listen by clicking above.

Right then, a couple of wickets in the first hour for England, another just after drinks and then some dogged resistance from Pakistan.

All of this playing out on a seventh day surface that is still playing pretty nicely.

To go through all of that, and then the afternoon session, I'll hand you over to Matthew Henry.

That's lunch after a fairly even session.

England were on top with three wickets in the first hour and a bit but a ninth-wicket partnership now worth 49 between Aamer Jamal and Noman Ali has got Pakistan up to and beyond 350.

Still anyone's game.
