    New ball taken

    Eng 241-7

    Dom Bess is under way on the fourth day, prodding Mohammad Amir through point for a single.

    That brings Mark Wood on strike - ah, and Pakistan instantly take the new ball. Clever.

  2. Eng 240-7

    Lead by 61

    Mohammad Amir is indeed on to bowl, but it's with the old ball.

    Dom Bess fends at his first delivery, the ball thudding into his hip, and it spoons towards the vacant short leg area.

    After a great day at Lords yesterday I'm now at the Natural History Museum having a family day. Haven't yet seen the infamous Collapsaurus. (Origin: England. Distribution: Worldwide. Endangered Status: Common) and hope not to see it today.

  4. Eng 240-7

    Mark Wood opts to leave the final two deliveries of the over.

    Mohammad Amir has been swinging his arms around in the deep. He's trotting in towards his captain...

    If England get out of this with anything, it will be a miracle.

  6. Eng 240-7

    Shot! Four!

    Full and wide from Mohammad Abbas - Sarfraz looks instantly unimpressed behind the stumps - and Mark Wood frees his arms and drives handsomely for a boundary.

  7. Eng 236-7

    Mark Wood has joined Dom Bess at the crease.

    He sees off his first ball, plonking it towards point.

    Jos Buttler is always walking into a defensive stroke, that's not the best way to play at this level is it?

    They haven't even taken the new ball yet and they got him out. Bowling straight on a good length. England batsmen play through the line of the ball and you could drive your car through the gap they leave between bat and pad.

    WICKET

    Buttler lbw Abbas 67 (Eng 236-7)

    That is very much out.

    The technology suggests it would be umpire's call, the ball hitting high up on the stumps, but that just looked out. Buttler had shuffled forward, trying to drive Mohammad Abbas away, and ended up missing the ball.

    Not ideal, with the new ball around the corner...

  10. It's gone past the bat as Buttler presses forward...

  11. England review

    Eng 236-6

    Hello, that's out!

    Jos Buttler has been trapped lbw by Mohammad Abbas' second ball. Buttler scrunches up his nose, and signals for the review...

  12. Mohammad Abbas will open up alongside Hasan Ali.

    One over until the new ball...

    We've got to bat to at least lunch. If they do that they will score about 100 runs as Pakistan will set attacking fields.

    Play forwards, you can see that the ball is keeping low so play forwards. Basics.

  14. Eng 236-6

    Lead by 57

    My colleague has just walked in and asked how the pitch looks.

    The answer comes from the next delivery, as Hasna Ali gets a straight ball to stay low and just scuttle underneath Buttler's attempted prod forward. Eesh. A single ends the over.

  15. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    You would think that the ball may do a bit, it's very muggy today. If England can just survive a few overs and get the ball flying to the fence for the first 10-15 overs then anything is possible.

    But if Pakistan play like the team they have looked liked in the first three days they should walk this game.

  16. Eng 235-6

    Buttler 66, Bess 55

    Hasan Ali will open the bowling this morning.

    Jos Buttler settles himself at the crease, Hasan charges in - and Buttler blocks his first ball back down towards the bowler. Cue round of applause.

  17. The umpires are out there, followed by Jos Buttler, who will resume on 66, and Dom Bess on 55.

    England have a slender lead of 56 runs, and there's a new ball just around the corner...

  18. Pakistan batsman Asad Shafiq: "Our bowlers bowled really well and in these conditions, which are not familiar to them. We are hoping that they will get early wickets."

  19. Five minutes until play begins at a grey looking Lord's - it'll be former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood to ring the bell today.

    Incidentally, if you're after some more cricket, there are eight One-Day Cup matches to choose from over here.
