  • Moeen removes Younus and Misbah

  • First innings: Pakistan 339ao, England 272ao

  1. Pak 55-2published at 14:02 British Summer Time 16 July 2016

    Pakistan make it past 50 as Younus dances his way around to defend against Broad's bouncers. He also manages a flamboyant back-heel (back calf?) glance on the final ball. Artistic.

    Going back to that Harry Potter theme, maybe Boycott for Dumbledore? I'm sure you can do better. Text, email, tweet in the usual ways.

    Jacob Jackson: Woakes is a beast, showing his class, should be in the team for a while now.

  3. Pak 49-2published at 13:57 British Summer Time 16 July 2016

    Close to wicket number two after lunch, and again it's that man Woakes inducing an edge. Azhar Ali, probably in a bit of two-minds, weakly fends at a delivery just outside off but it doesn't quite carry to Root at slip.

    I wonder why so many Pakistan batsmen are getting out in their 20s and 30s. I think that you have to keep concentrating over here - it's different in the subcontinent where you can get to 20 and realise it's almost impossible for conditions to change.

    For those who tuned in to our lunch-time coverage on Test Match Special, you may have heard the Phelps twins (of the Weasley brothers fame from Harry Potter) speaking to Aggers. Magical times. Anybody in world cricket you can liken to a wizard? Perhaps Sachin could be a wise professor. Root for the fresh-faced student that quickly becomes a hero?

    Broad brings down the second over after lunch. We've got two right-handers at the crease now and they sneak a single each.

    Surely Chris Woakes has got to stay in the team now. Obviously a player like Ben Stokes must come back into the side too, but you can't leave out a player doing as well as Woakes.

    Woakes provides the perfect start for England. That wicket of Masood came after the batsman had stroked him down the ground for four. New man is Younus Khan, who immediately gives a demonstration of his flamingo-like footwork. Think a crane that's had one too many coffees.

    High praise for Woakes because he initiated the edge. Shan Masood has got an issue with that line outside off stump and he is a studious character, but there's work to be done. He has to be better than this.

    Masood c Cook b Woakes 24 (Pak 44-2)

    Strrrrrike! Great start for England as Woakes sends the left-handed Masood back. After yesterday's howlers from Pakistan in the slips, Alastair Cook flies the flag for England, holding on to a catch low at first slip. Woakes, who bowled the perfect line outside off stump, jumps in the air in delight.

    Chris Woakes has the ball in his hand, some of the Lord's members are perhaps still tucking into the pear crumble with custard, but most of the crowd ready for the action. Here. We. Go.

    I thought Woakes played the leg-spinner very well, last night and today. He had confidence. It's not about runs all the time, but about the way he played him. He was comfortable. The other batsmen were like a cat on a hot tin roof. They were fidgety all the time.

    That lunch menu sounded delicious as well by the way. I've been nursing myself with a soup and turkey sandwich, but would obviously much rather be gorging on steak with peppercorn sauce.

    Funnily, I played tennis with a friend in college, and the wager would always be a steak with peppercorn sauce dinner at this local bar. Sad to report I lost more than I won.

    Right, on to the business of cricket, and Pakistan are on top. England have had positives, but a few if-only moments, which have somehow marked this whole Test so far.

    Thanks Steph. Just seen that entry on the 93,000 pints being drunk over the past couple of days. Incredible, and probably makes for one really long snake. It's not cheap either, beer at cricket grounds, is it?

    I like the idea that they sent Jimmy Anderson out to play county cricket to prove his fitness. It's not about saying 'oh he'll be alright with a few nets'.

    This is an opportunity for Shan Masood. Relax, there's runs on the board. All you have to do is make the advantage count.
