    There are eight minutes - maybe three overs - before tea. Can England get another?

    One for Chris Woakes and one for Gus Atkinson now. They'll call it 1-1 when they go back to the dressing room.

    Masood dropped on 7published at 2.4 overs

    An exact repeat!

    Shan Masood chips another drive.

    This time it's Gus Atkinson off the bowling of Chris Woakes - a reverse of the previous over - who drops a tough one-handed catch.

    Shan Masood might not have got out of Multan safely had he been caught mid-off in this situation.

    It wasn't an easy catch to take, but Chris Woakes is cross with himself.

    "Caaaatch itttt"...

    Down!

    Chris Woakes cannot cling on one-handed after Shan Masood chips high to mid-off.

    Can I have some advice on how to stop myself from screaming in the office! Just started working as an analyst in the city and I’m trying to remain calm whilst listening to TMS, so far, that’s not going so well for me.

    Cricket is brilliant, isn't it?

    Pakistan have been dragged through the dust for 150 overs and are now right under the pump.

    Abdullah Shafique will have been knackered coming out to bat there.

    There's not many England fans here but they are making enough noise, aren't they!

    How scrambled is your head, Shan Masood?

    The Pakistan skipper wafts at his first delivery and misses.

    He didn't know too much about that, Abdullah Shafique. He is absolutely stunned and looks disgusted by the situation.

    He's waited and waited and waited for his turn to bat, but Chris Woakes has knocked over his off stump with the first ball.

    Shafique b Woakes 0 (Pak 0-1)

    BOWLED HIM FIRST BALL.

    Truly sensational. Off stump is out of the ground and England's players are running around celebrating.

    Has that moved off a crack? I reckon so.

    Here we go.

    Chris Woakes has the ball in hand.

    Pakistan trail by 267. Good luck...

    Pakistan will have to bat as normally as possible. There will be pressure and they will have to look at how they faltered against Bangladesh and Australia. Every time pressure was exerted, they wilted.

    So the strategy for England looks simple. They will attack and will want Pakistan to feel the pressure.

  18. Postpublished at 10:15 British Summer Time 10 October

    The question now is just how demoralised are Pakistan.

    England's bowlers are already sensing blood and out for their warm-ups.

    Yes, the pitch is as flat as I have ever seen but pressure does funny things.

    Pakistan will learn from this and the learnings will be that they will need to prepare a better strip and also for the bowlers to have a bit of a strategy.

    From a captaincy point of view, it will be grave reminder for Shan Masood to learn quickly on the job. His confidence will be low after losing five matches in a row.
