  1. Not out

    Pak 259-5

    Going down leg on the angle. A touch high, it might have been umpire's call on that, too.

    England lose another review, they've got one left.

    I thought the umpire said high when he raised his hand, but it's not high.

    I think it's very close.

  3. Not bat involved. Could be high and leg side, though...

  4. England review

    Pak 259-5

    Matthew Potts is the first England seamer to get a look at Muhammad Rizwan today.

    There's a big appeal for lbw second ball. Possibly too high? Maybe drifting down leg?

    Let's see.

  5. How's stat?!

    Muhammad Rizwan in Tests in Pakistan has an exceptional average of 93.2 v spinners, while it drops significantly to 27.5 v pace bowlers.

    Against pace bowlers at home, his average drops further down to 14.0 facing deliveries in the 8-9m range. In the day's play yesterday - 27% of the deliveries from the England pacers to the Rizwan were in the 8-9m range. They'll look to hit that length more often today to trouble the right-hander.

  6. Pak 259-5

    Salman 5, Rizwan 37

    One over down and I can confirm that the pitch has not turned into a minefield overnight.

    It's a solid start from Brydon Carse, though, as he gets through a maiden to Salman Ali Agha.

    Shoaib Bashir has been bowling quite a lot this morning.

    He's trying got get the length right, it's one of those where you have to get his confidence back.

    Bashir needs to bring his length back, but England need to know that the ball is not going to turn and bounce.

  8. England are going to start with pace. Brydon Carse - who was so impressive on day one - has the 10-over old second new ball in hand.

  9. Right, back to Multan, and England are making their way back out onto the field.

    Already the suggestions that despite this being the seventh day of cricket on this pitch, it hasn't changed a great deal from yesterday.

    That's how it looks but how will it play? We'll soon find out.

  10. All too familiar as England crumble when it matters most

    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.

  11. Sloppy England stunned by Windies to exit T20 World Cup

    England were knocked out of the Women's T20 World Cup at the end of the group stage after a sloppy all-round performance against West Indies in Dubai.

    They dropped five catches - all off opener Qiana Joseph - as West Indies produced a stunning run chase of 142 to reach the semi-finals at England's expense.

    Joseph was first dropped on six and then 31 and 35 before departing for a crucial 52 from 38 balls, while captain Hayley Matthews also added a half-century in an opening stand of 102.

    The pair blasted 67-0 off the powerplay as England wilted under pressure, reminiscent of their semi-final defeat by South Africa in the 2023 tournament.

  12. Before we look ahead any further to day two in Pakistan, we've got time to briefly reflect on a pretty dreadful day for England at the Women's T20 World Cup yesterday...

    The heavy roller was maybe out.

    Every piece of cricket intuition when you're stood looking at the pitch says, the pitch has to deteriorate at some stage.

    At the moment we have not seen much misbehaviour in the middle of the pitch.

  14. Not 'as many demons' on flatter Multan pitch - Potts

    England seamer Matthew Potts says the pitch for the second Test in Pakistan does not have "as many demons" as the tourists first thought.

    The second consecutive Test in Multan is being played on the same surface used for England's record-breaking win in the first Test.

    "You don't judge the score until both teams have batted on it," Potts told Test Match Special. "The pitch certainly appeared like it was a little bit flatter than we first expected. The game is in the balance."

  15. Good morning

    After Pakistan just about got the better of day one thanks to a debut century from Kamran Ghulam, we're are still for day two.

    England will be hunting early wickets on a used Multan pitch that has offered more than it did first time round.

    The key question is when will it really start to deteriorate? No one knows for sure so getting runs on the board while it is still relatively flat.

    That'll be the plan for the hosts but at some point today, it'll be the turn of Ben Stokes' side.
