    Can I just say that I am content with everything England have done in this Test.

    79 overs left in the day

    Shot! Stuart Broad delivers a short, wide one and Mohammad Hafeez rocks back and runs the ball through point for four. The bowler responds with an off-cutter which jags back in to the batsman quite dramatically.

    You know how keepers always fancy playing up front?

    I reckon Broad fancies himself as an off-spinner on the quiet...

    It's nice to see Jimmy bowling the outswinger, just to get that little bit of movement away from the right-hander.

    James Anderson bowls a gorgeous outswinger to Mohammad Hafeez. He'd have to have been Bradman to have got anywhere near that. The batsman smiles, the bowler yelps and Ben Stokes, at gully, winces.

    The longest Pakistan have ever batted for a draw was 129 overs versus West Indies at Port of Spain in 1988.

    Target 565

    Azhar Ali came to these shores with a big rep and a Test average of 43. Rather like his current batting partner, however, his record is much better in Asia than outside of it.

    In the UAE, he has played 17 Tests and scored five centuries and nine fifties.

    He gets up and running at Old Trafford with a tickle down to the fine leg boundary.

    Shan Masood has been dismissed six times by James Anderson - every time he's bowled to him. His average against Anderson is 2.5.

    There's no kind of fluency in the movements from Masood. He's forced into playing the stroke. He's got technical difficulties against good seam bowling. He's got a problem against Jimmy Anderson.

    Masood c Cook b Anderson 1 (Pak 7-1)

    Shan Masood is James Anderson's bunny. For the sixth time in six innings, he has fallen cheaply to the Lancashire man.

    He edges a subtle outswinger to first slip, in the manner of his first-innings dismissal when he was also caught in the cordon (by Joe Root at second).

    In his first meeting with Anderson, he was bowled in both innings. In his second he was caught behind by the keeper twice. In the third, he has been caught at slip on each occasion.

    Symmetrical dismissals. I like it.

    This is a real challenge for Pakistan's openers. They've struggled with the ball moving about, their techniques have looked like they're going to get challenged.

    Target 565

    Mohammad Hafeez is playing in his 49th Test, but he has never scored a century outside Asia - bar a ton against a weak Zimbabwe side, external in 2011. Now would be a good time to change that, Mo. Like in the first innings, he is watchful to begin with. But will that last?

    That might hurt - it depends if it hit muscle or bone. You always worry when there's a lot of bone and not much muscle.

    That was a rearing delivery. I think he might have a nice bruise.

    Target 565

    James Anderson bowls a cobra-like delivery - the ball spitting off a length and striking the batsman on the inside of the arm, just below the armpit.

    Mohammad Hafeez grimaces, smiles, then calls for the physio. That'll bruise.

    Every time there's an empty seat in Test cricket that should focus the administrators' attention.

    Hafeez 4, Masood 0

    There's going to be no respite for Pakistan today. When it's not James, it's Stuart. When it's not Chris, it's Ben. They sound like four lovely boys when you call them by their christian names, but chuck them a cherry and they become a gang of merciless head-hunters.

    Stuart Broad begins with a maiden to Shan Masood. Lots of leaving the ball outside off stump.

    William Tomaney: So England are either "boring" or "overkill" - can't we just be happy?

    Luke Flannigan: Right then, both Masood and Hafeez to be caught in the cordon prodding at the ball? I really want to be wrong.

    Target 565

    England's four slips chatter between deliveries, then get on their haunches ready to snare an edge - all in perfect harmony and formation like a pack of hyenas. They can do nothing about a thick outside edge through gully, though - Mohammad Hafeez getting off the mark with a boundary.

    James Anderson takes the new cherry and four slips assume their position. Play.
