That's your lot for day one, folks.

A challenging day for England's bowlers in hot conditions on a pitch offering them pretty much nothing.

Pakistan made the most of winning the toss and batting first thanks to centuries from Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique but the tourists dug in and a good evening session keeps them in the hunt.

We'll be back bright and early tomorrow as England go in search of quick wickets. Be sure to join us then!

A reminder that there is more England cricket to come today as Heather Knight's side face South Africa in the Women's T20 World Cup this afternoon.

After beating Bangladesh in their opening match, England can take another step towards the semi-finals with victory in Sharjah.

First ball is at 15:00 BST and we've got you covered on that one with news from the toss from 14:30 BST.

England have stuck to their task well today and it has been a challenge to come here with little climatisation and play in heat like this.

Nobody has gone off with cramp, the fielding has been good and it has been a long hot day in the dirt.

They've gone off together with their heads held high.

More from Jeetan Patel on the state of the game: "We always talk about putting two [wickets] on it. They have a nightwatchman in so maybe we can out three on it.

"350-7? We will just see what happens. We can't really judge the wicket until we have had a bat."

England bowling coach Jeetan Patel, speaking to Sky Sports: "Solid toil. Pretty proud of boys to put in the stint we did in the last session. We spoke this morning that no matter what the day gives us we chase the ball hard in the field. In conditions like this it is easy to stop doing it. To see the guys put in the toil they did tonight is brilliant. It was a hell of an effort."

On the situation of the game: "You always want two more [wickets]. Six down would have been an amazing day. To have them one down at tea and take those three wickets in the last session really sets up tomorrow morning for us."

On the difficulty of fielding in hot conditions: "You go through every plan, everyone is coming to you with ideas but you keep getting overwhelmed by the heat and the weather. You have got to dig deep and try and find a way.

"I think the guys did that. Woakesy, getting ball move away to Babar and then nip back is high-skill but when you are that knackered and are saturated and dripping with sweat, that is the fine art."

England were impressive how they noticed when the two batters [Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood] were getting tired.

They got the opener and then tightened the screw afterwards.

Yes, it has been Pakistan's day, but when you look at the bigger picture England can be happy.

It means when you come back tomorrow morning you have almost forgotten about the massive partnership.

You have to remember Pakistan are off the back of five Test losses on the spin.

It has been an excellent day for Pakistan and, in particular, their skipper Shan Masood.

He came into this match under pressure but produced a wonderful knock, reaching his fifth Test century from 102 balls and proceeded to make 151.

Alongside Abdullah Shafique, he put on 253 for the second wicket to set the hosts on their way to a big first-innings total.

Pakistan batter Abdullah Shafique speaking to Sky Sports after his century: "I am feeling happy because performing for your team is a next level feeling. The way Shan and I made partnerships was crucial for us.

"The main thing I am focussing on is the process. If I do good things in the process I am able to do well in the match.

"It is hard out here in Multan. We have had a four or five days here. We are pretty sure about the weather. The cramps are part of the game. It happens."

As a team when you're finding it hard you never throw the towel in.

Not in the Stokes and McCullum regime, but at times players have disappeared off at different angles and players have gone off to change their shirts - everyone mucked in together today.

That is massive thing that Brendon McCullum preaches about.

The last session is easily England's best. They got three wickets and created pressure.

By no means is this Test over just because Pakistan have had a good day.

England will be lifted by the dismissal of Babar Azam.

It has still been Pakistan's day, but when you consider where England were.

In the last session three wickets falling certainly evens it up.

Testing over from Brydon Carse but he offers Saud Shakeel a freebie on the pads from the penultimate ball.

That's whipped away for four and the left-hander is solidly behind the last to end the day.

A good one for Pakistan, thanks to centuries from captain Shan Masood and opener Abdullah Shafique.

England battled hard, though, and three wickets in the evening session will give them reason for optimism heading into day two.

For Chris Woakes it will be a relief.

He will have been reading and he knows his record isn't as good away from home.

To get that wicket will give him confidence going into tomorrow.

Of the 33 deliveries that Babar Azam faced against the seamers today, the wicket ball was only the second delivery that would have gone on to hit the stumps.

Issues with the sightscreen mean this over from Brydon Carse will be the last of the day.

He's round the wicket to Saud Shakeel to begin.

I don't know how that's missed. It almost brushes the stumps.

Naseem Shah is the nightwatchman and he was very nearly on his way back third ball.

Chris Woakes gets one to stay low, get through Naseem's less than convincing defence but just miss off stump.

Babar Azam lbw!

That seemed to nip back a little from our angle.

Anxious moments for Babar.

It looked leg stump from here. It's not going over the stumps.
