Kamran Ghulam has looked very comfortable against the spinners today, playing only 10% false shots.

In the limited deliveries he's faced against pace bowlers, he's played 38% false shots.

Well if there is reverse swing I cannot see it in this over. There's a lot of grunting from Matthew Potts but no real danger to the batters.

Zak Crawley lets one through his legs to allow Pakistan to steal a single.

Beautiful delivery from Ben Stokes and it might've come off the batters hip, that's why it dribbled to the boundary.

The ball is looking like it might be starting to reverse swing.

When you see cracks in the middle of the pitch seam bowlers are a good option.

But England must think the ball is starting to reverse swing. Matthew Potts is immediately summoned from the deep.

Edged but there's no-one there! Ben Stokes doesn't have any slips in fact.

That could have been the breakthrough.

The physios are coming onto the field but not for Ben Stokes. It looks like Kamran Ghulam has cramp in his right arm.

One thing I can say is Ben Stokes has taken off his cap to reveal a questionable mullet.

His first delivery is gentle.

Here's Ben Stokes for his first bowl in a Test since July!

Kamran Ghulam looks a nice assured player.

He come in at 19-2. He will have been under pressure and aware of the person's [Babar Azam] place he was taking.

A hideous hack from Kamrun Ghulam and a more controlled drive over mid-off by Saim Ayub keeps the scoreboard ticking in this over from Jack Leach.

Ayub did not look up to much in the first Test with those two early dismissals but you can see what the fuss is about with shots like that. This is now his highest Test score.

Are England trying to smuggle in an extra bowler under the cover of towels?

Brydon Carse is trying hard to find some life in the surface and he was trying to trouble the batters with the short length. Clearly there's nothing there for it.

Ben Stokes pulls a worried face after a third delivery in the over bounces twice through to Jamie Smith.

The pitch may be offering more turn but it's like bowling onto an apple crumble if you're a pace bowler.

That'll be drinks at the end of a good hour for Pakistan.

I don't know if this will be worrying Pakistan's camp that the ball is not square turning - it may do something different on day two or three.

Ben Stokes tests out that hamstring by chasing down an edge off the bat of Kamran Ghulam.

Brydon Carse is coming back on.

But was it on your birthday? If not, Anon, I'm afraid it doesn't count...

Kamran Ghulam is growing in confidence on his debut now. He gets down low to swish a reverse sweep off Shoaib Bashir and connects well enough for four runs.

An aerial shot of the pitch shows how many cracks the batters' are standing among. It's playing nicely now, though.

41 players have made their Test debut for Pakistan against England.

Only one other has made a 50 in their first innings and that was Rashid Latif who got out for 50 at the Oval in 1992.

Ben Stokes fiddles with his field again.

A slip, leg slip, short leg, catching mid-wicket and Zak Crawley on the drive under a floppy hat is his latest choice.

The result is an uncontrolled top-edge landing safely in the deep. You can't have them everywhere.
