There's a hearty shout for lbw against Ben Stokes - oh, and we're going upstairs!

I thought that pitched outside leg...

Pakistan have created pressure. They are all used to one-day cricket and playing shots, so when you tie them down a bit...

There are 37 overs left today. There's been no delays, no crowd or drinks related hold-ups. Nothing.

Here's Mohammad Abbas.

Paul McKenzie: Over rate woeful, when are the ICC going to do something about it? Maybe if you go below a certain % you lose a bowler?

Craig Stevanato: So, already 8 overs behind today despite them using spinners. The ICC have to start getting involved punishing teams severely (awarding runs to the opposition) if they fail to bowl 30 overs a session without good reason.

Debutant Dom Bess looks as relaxed as you'd like up in the dressing room. His feet are propped up on the balcony, bat resting nearby.

Ben Stokes works Hasan Ali away for a leisurely single, and Jos Buttler gets in on the act a couple of balls later.

It has been a really interesting day's cricket so far.

Right then, here we go.

Hasan Ali will resume after tea, and Ben Stokes carves his first delivery out towards square leg.

The Pakistan players are huddled on the edge of the outfield and England's big two power hitters Stokes and Buttler stride out to resume the innings on 165-5. Amy Lofthouse has very kindly supplied the biscuits, which, like almost everything, will go nicely with a cup of tea - and it's over to her for the evening session.

The Phil Tufnell explanation of the Lord's slope is excellent, well worth a watch. The inclusion of the white polystyrene was a late improvement. Rehearsals were carried out with a pork pie.

Former skipper Cook, playing his 153rd consecutive Test to equal Allan Border's record, compiled his 56th Test fifty and reached 70 before he became Mohammad Amir's first wicket of the innings, to leave England on 149-5.

Ben Stokes made a welcome return to the England Test side and swiped the first six of the match.

England reached lunch on 72-3 and Alastair Cook and Jonny Bairstow guided them to 100 before the Yorkshireman was the fourth wicket to fall, bowled for 27.

When Dawid Malan edged the surprisingly slippery Hasan Ali behind on six, England were 43-3 in the 16th over.

Unfortunately we have to see Joe's dismissal once again, the captain getting the barge pole out to edge behind for an uncharacteristically out of touch four from 24 balls.

Just before I slip away for a much-needed Earl Grey, let's have a recap of the day so far and it was an all too familiar shaky start for England, Mark Stoneman the first man to go in the fourth over of the morning after Joe Root opted to bat first.

I think 270 or 280 will be enough, with Stuart Broad and James Anderson in the England team.

What's a par score on this pitch?

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, still with that luxuriant mane of dark hair at the age of 55, looks on from an excellent vantage point next to the advertising hoardings at the bowler's end. England's two big hitters calmly play out the dangerous Amir and that ends a session in which the hosts have scored 93 in 26 overs for the loss of two wickets.

That's the first pair of salmon pink trousers I've spotted today. Wasn't expecting them to be sported with an orange shirt and a blue and white checked jacket but this is the Lord's pavilion after all. The tourists persevere with their teenage spinner Shadab and he concedes only two singles.

Three slips and a gully for Amir, left-arm over the wicket and close to 87mph to the sleeveless-sweatered Buttler from the Nursery End. A quick single and that would have been close but the throw bounces fractionally over the timbers.
