  2. Pak 0-0published at 1 overs

    Oosh. James Anderson entices Azar Ali into a little poke forward, the ball just seaming past the outside edge.

    A slightly fuller length is working already. A maiden to start the innings.

    Theo HV: Shambolic batting from England... simply no application at all. Hard lessons have to be learnt as it’s all too common place with no apparent improvements forthcoming.

    Dave: England have changed the captain, the selectors, changed the batsmen, changed the batting order no improvement. In fact the team is in decline. Therefore it’s time to change Bayliss. He should have gone after the Ashes.

  4. Pak 0-0published at 0.1 overs

    Unsurprisingly, it'll be James Anderson to open the bowling - and it's full! Huzzah!

    Azhar Ali pops it safely back down the pitch.

    There's about 31 overs left in the day. England are out, followed by Pakistan's openers Azhar Ali and Imam-ul-Haq.

    If you missed that final collapse of 5-16 - understandably, given it happened in the time it took my cup of tea to go lukewarm - then here's how it started...

    The telly are showing the captains this morning.

    The first words from Sarfraz Ahmed on losing the toss? "We wanted to have a bowl anyway."

    He knew...

    Can you better that effort from Joe?

    Use #bbccricket on Twitter or text 81111. England are getting ready to have a bowl, which I imagine Joe Root wasn't expecting at 11am this morning...

    If England were a culinary delight, they would be a rhubarb crumble.

    Cook played nice and late with good foundation of basic technique but the rest of them, as soon as the ball does a bit, they haven't had the ability to get through it - they just throw their hands at the ball.

    Hasan Ali finishes with 4-51, while Mohammad Abbas walks off with 4-23 to his name.

    They have been superb. Disciplined, bowling a fuller length, and preying on the frailties that are never far from the surface with England's batting.

    It's been terrific cricket all day from Pakistan. It's been the England batting of the last two or three years, as soon as it's up it's off, with no real thought process and Pakistan have held some good chances. It's been a bit of deja vu from the England batsmen.

    Wood c Amir b Hasan 7 (Eng 184)

    And that, folks, is that!

    England have lost their last five wickets for 16 runs, and they're all out for 184. Mark Wood is the last man to go, lashing Hasan Ali up into the air, and Mohammad Amir darts round to take the catch.

    Brilliant from Pakistan. Dross from England.

  14. Eng 184-9published at 58.1 overs

    Oops!

    A glorious straight drive from Mark Wood is chased down by Mohammad Amir, who tries to flick the ball back fin front of the boundary rope - and misses!

    He ends up doing a somersault over the boundary rope, and Wood gets a boundary.

    I'm sat in the same seat I was sat in for most of the winter, covering England's Tests.

    And honestly, it feels like absolutely nothing has changed. Still. Here's Hasan Ali...

    Andy Holmes: Moeen Ali, anyone??? He'd be useful at No.8 on a day like this!

    James Doe: Good to see England learning from the winter. Said it then, will say it again. Bayliss can’t lead the Test side. At least four dismissals today could have been avoided with a bit of patience. Make it somewhat difficult for the bowlers to get you out!

    Abbas 14-7-23-4

    Mohammad Abbas is one wicket away from a well deserved five-for at Lord's.

    James Anderson keeps him waiting by letting the first ball go safely through to the keeper.

    And there goes Stuart Broad!

    Broad lasts for all of two deliveries. Full, straight, into the bottom of the front pad. It's so out that Broad doesn't even bother debating the review.
