Woakes gets look at right-hander Azhar, moving the ball away both in the air and down the slope. In the posh seats, Imran Khan and Wasim Akram are locked in conversation. Even in the whistle and flutes, they look like they could make the new ball (and old ball) sing. Enough to give a batsman nightmares.

It's just simple little things. There's been nice intensity by England's seamers. Broad has done well, Ball bowled really well with height, enough pace and movement. It's just the discipline and patience. If you don't get the ball in the right areas you can score comfortably. There's not been enough balls in that corridor outside off stump.

Masood is getting miles across his stumps, really exposing that leg peg. England need the spirit of Craig White to Brian Lara, circa 2000. Finn takes a tumble to the ground in his follow-through, Masood showing a straight bat in defence. Threat definitely diminished.

I think it was high, and might have pitched outside leg stump. It's always those two to think about with a left-hander.

Woakes finally comes on second change, the crowd cheering when the ball ends in the hands of short leg Gary Ballance, but that's only off Masood's thigh pad. When the left-hander tucks one of his hips to the square leg boundary, the lead goes past 100. Another shout for leg before, but that's too high. England need something before the break.

It was much better rhythm from Finn. I watch him running up and it didn't look like he was running through treacle that over. There was a fluency about his bowling.

Steven Finn, probably bowling for his place in the side, on first change as the sun just dips behind a cloud. Down the slope, angling the ball into right-hander Azhar, who's looked more accomplished at three than opener Masood. Two slips, Azhar getting a controlled edge to third man for four. Chris Woakes, anyone?

In the next 30 minutes England need a breakthrough or two. It's been a decent partnership since that first wicket. It's taken the sting out of it for England.

I'm still reeling from the sight of that bloke with the leopard print sartorials. He looked like an extra in an Austin Powers film. Ball gets one to nip back to Masood and asks the question, but that's pitched outside leg. And again. Half an hour or so to go until lunch.

It's been fantastic cricket, really exciting. It's been pretty much everything you hope from a Test match. Skill levels, dropped chances, leg-spin, great strokeplay, bad strokeplay. Pakistan are the favourites but it's very close indeed.

Masood shuffles across, exposing leg stump, as the England fielders chatter encouragement to bowler Broad. In the crowd, a chap puts a newspaper on his head to shield himself from the sun. On the wireless this morning, Danny Baker was trying to say putting a cabbage leaf on your head keeps you cool. He's winding me up, right? Elsewhere, another chap wears a leopard print blazer with matching tie. Seriously, what is he thinking?

That's perfect bowling from the Nursery End to a batsmen who hasn't played much cricket here. I used to fall over a lot to one side, but I was advised to get a big heavy earring!

Ball has seen something in Azhar Ali, perhaps a heavy head which leads to some overbalancing. Delivering that yorker from a great height, Ball almost has Azhar's toes in trouble again. Like Masood, though, Azhar is happy to whip through mid-wicket for four.

Shan Masood, jittery around off stump, looks more interested when he can whip the ball off his pads. It looks good when he takes Broad through mid-wicket for four, but don't rule out an lbw from the one that he misses. Broad back over the wicket for right-hander Azhar, who moves the small white boards that pretend to be sightscreens. Lord's - brilliant ground, terrible sightscreens.

Excitement in the crowd when Ball spears a yorker in at Azhar, but that's going down the leg side. Great passage of Test cricket, this. Spectators invested in the action. If Pakistan get through, they have the whip hand. England need wickets and they are striving to get them. Don't go anywhere.

Looking at Masood, where are his shots, his power coming from? He doesn't have any kind of pace in his batting. It looks like his mindset is one of survival. It's not a great mindset to take out to bat.

Broad, blond and lanky, is round the wicket to Masood, exploring the off stump. In the crowd, a chap in a blue T-shirt dips into a picnic hamper as a big as a coffin. Why do cricket spectators always carry enough food to last them a week? More uncertainty from Masood, who almost inside edges on to his stumps. At the moment, he looks more nervous than Piglet on a blustery day.
