Misbah, probably the coolest man in world cricket, peers through his whiskers and soft-handedly defends Anderson with feet that will only move if the earth begins to tremor. Buzz in the crowd, touch more swing from Jimmy, another maiden. Probing start by England so far.

derry bannister84: Trophy name for New Zealand v England The Russell Crowe trophy after Jack Russell and Martin Crowe would be brilliant.

Interesting. For decades it's been Anderson and Broad, but the latter wasn't at the races yesterday so England give morning duties to Chris Woakes. Younus, still batting like a man on a trampoline, pokes and jabs at the ball, defending and knotting himself up like a pretzel. A maiden.

Pakistan's discipline leaving the ball surprised England yesterday. They were expecting the Pakistan batsmen to be following wide ones - and it took time for them to adjust their lines.

Swing for Anderson, but Younus away with a sharp single on the off side. Misbah, the new man after Azhar Ali was dismissed last thing yesterday, is already getting peppered with some short stuff. Maybe get it up there, Jimmy? Use that early movement?

Anderson to Younus. Three slips and a gully. Noise already inside Edgbaston. Play.

Jimmy roared to the crease...

The crowd has been subdued but it's not up to the crowd to build the atmosphere - it's up to the players to build the atmosphere in the crowd. They will get behind this team but they need a spark.

Marc Eldred: Surely Blowers would be on the Jäger bus?

England's Stuart Broad on TMS: "Our job is to continue what we did yesterday with the patience and try not to let Pakistan score at a good rate.

"It's a pitch that doesn't give you any value from the top of off, so you just have to test the patience of a batsman and hope for an error.

"They played absolutely fantastically yesterday. You don't know if they'll do that the same today. If we could bowl them out after tea, we'd be happy.

"When we bat again we need to bat big. If we get the same in our second innings that Pakistan get in their first innings, then they'll have a chase of 300."

I'm also told that it's National Underwear Day. That has nothing to do with the cricket, but I'm just letting you know.

Scott Mitchell: Few early wickets & England will be back in it. Pakistan have a big tail, I really only see them getting 350 A/O.

Pakistan's Azhar Ali, who fell for 139 off the final ball of the day, on TMS: "We need a good healthy lead because we have to bat last and we don't want to give away this opportunity. We have to bat well and if we bat long then the pitch deteriorates more."

Your eyes are not deceiving you. That really is Henry Blofeld on the Jagerbombs.

"My dear old thing, I do believe it's time to get on the Jager train."

Yesterday we had some cracking pictures of cricketing weddings sent in to the live text, some of my favourite of all time.

Now for something completely different....

Tony: Are we all in agreement any hope England had of possessing every Test cricket trophy ended yesterday or is there still a chance?

There's a little bit of rough for Yasir Shah, but it looks like a featherbed - and Pakistan like playing on these type of wickets. Pakistan could collapse - we know what they are like - but if they get a 100-run lead, I can only see one winner.
