  1. Pakistan building solid platform

    AzharAFP

    Patient batting is the order of the day in Brisbane too, where Pakistan are 38-0 after 17 overs against Australia. The full scorecard of that match is here.

  2. Eng 96-1

    Rory Burns wafts a loose drive and nearly nicks off again. Did he have a dodgy ham sandwich at lunch? He's not looked the same since.

    For me (Clive) that was Ross Taylor's catch. Maybe he was slightly put off by Tom Latham flicking his hands out to the side but Taylor should've been moving towards it by then anyway.

    That's carried - they left it to each other and it's dissected them perfectly. That is one of the worst sights in cricket as a bowler.

  4. dropped catch

    Missed chance

    Rory Burns is going through a very streaky spell at the moment and gets a massive life.

    A big nick off Tim Southee and the ball flies through first and second slip as Ross Taylor and Tom Latham just look at each other.

    That's poor. Both should have gone but neither really moved.

  5. Steven Finn
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is excellent bowling - following up a bouncer that was short and at the ribs with a tempter.

  6. Eng 91-1

    Neil Wagner pushes it up full and wide and gets Rory Burns to chase one he should leave well alone.

    A well-directed bumper follows and Burns ducks it in time.

    Burns tucks the last off his hip for one.

  7. Eng 90-1

    Rory Burns tries to duck a bouncer and ends up nodding it up over the keeper and away for four leg byes.

    Concussion protocol to undergo but Burns looks fine to continue.

    It's one of those days, as a former bowler, where it is better to be sat in the commentary box.

  9. Eng 85-1

    Rory Burns sees out the rest of the over.

  10. Eng 85-1

    Eeek. Rory Burns unfurls one of those airy drives that Ramps was worried about.

    Chased a very wide one. Shelve that.

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    That was hit so hard. Tom Latham is shaking out his hand - he might have just got a fingertip to it.

  12. Eng 85-1

    Burns 36, Denly 27

    Neil Wagner v Joe Denly resumes.

    Denly on the pull shot again and smashes another to the fence.

    Angry Wagner responds with a jaffa, only just evading the off stump.

    Short ball to finish and Denly mashes it round the corner for four more.

    Great fun in the early hours.

  13. Mark Ramprakash
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm just a bit concerned with Rory Burns. Since the resumption, he's played a couple of airy drives. There was one there that was far too wide to throw a cut shot at it. Sometimes you can go through a period in an innings where you lose focus.

  14. Eng 77-1

    More miserly stuff from Tim Southee, limiting Rory Burns and Joe Denly to just a delicate single each.

    That was a fascinating over - in a way, Wagner was encouraged but Denly hit him sweetly for two boundaries.

  17. Eng 75-1

    Joe Denly wins this little battle for now.

    Another short ball, but too straight and England's number three marmalises another pull shot to the fence.

    Can Wagner get back on that testing line with the short stuff?

  18. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Wagner is happy - someone, at last, has come to play against the short ball. He feels as though he's in the game now.

  19. Eng 71-1

    Hmm.

    Joe Denly takes on a short ball from Neil Wagner and absolutely leathers it through square leg for four.

    That only seems to make Wagner angry though and he digs one in outside off, with Denly nearly chipping it to point.

  20. Simon Mann

    England are pootling along after lunch, just looking to build and accumulate, and hoping to profit as the bowlers get tired and the ball gets older.
