    Pak 297-8published at 103.1 overs

    Shan Masood is still there and he's only got one thing on his mind. Score and score big. He is down on one knee and slogs Dom Bess over mid-wicket for six.

  2. Pak 291-8published at 102.3 overs

    No hat-trick for Archer, I'm afraid.

    Archer opts not to go for the yorker and instead angles into the tall Shaheen. The Pakistan number 10 gets behind it well and defends.

    Shaheen Afridi will face the hat-trick ball...

    Pakistan are losing wickets now but they are very much in this game, considering England have to bat last on this pitch.

    Abbas c Root b Archer (Pak 291-8)

    Two in two for Archer! It's the shortest of stays for Mohammad Abbas who offers no foot movement and edges it straight to Joe Root in the slips.

    Archer on a hat-trick.

    It looked a bit leg side.

    England must be sick of the sight of Shan Masood.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 102.1 overs

    Yasir lbw b Archer 5 (Pak 291-7)

    Jofra Archer strikes. It may not be Shan Masood but it's a wicket nonetheless.

    Archer goes slightly fuller, Yasir looks to play across the line and is trapped in front. Yasir decides not to review.

    Andrew Fox: I once bowled Shan Masood in the nets at Stamford. The trick seems to be to bowl reverse swing, round the wicket, while he’s not paying attention. And to use a tennis ball.

    Bess 19-4-58-1

    That level of unpredictability is part of the charm with Pakistan. Never know what you're going to get.

    A Shan Masood single is the only thing of any note to happen as Bess completes his 19th over of the innings.

    Yasir Shah scored an amazing 113 in Adelaide. He'd been out for single figures in his nine previous Test innings and averaged 11 before that tour of Australia.

    Hugo Flaxman: This game is exhibit A in the case of Joe Root not being a terribly good Test captain. Relies on magic from his bowlers, and when that doesn’t work, there is no plan B. Stokes was better more instinctive captain, despite losing his only Test.

  13. Pak 289-6published at 101 overs

    It's all gone very quiet at Old Trafford. Which I know is a bizarre thing to say with no crowds. But you know what I mean.

    Archer continues and bowls a bouncer, Masood swivels on his spot and pulls in front of his grille and down to square leg for three.

    Dominic J Brown: All the cricket purists out there are currently salivating at the thought of a batsman carrying his bat!

  15. Pak 286-6published at 100 overs

    Could that be why we've seen little of Archer so far today?

    Dom Bess races through an over and it's consecutive maidens for England.

    Has Archer got a niggle? He looks a little uncomfortable.

  18. Pak 286-6published at 99 overs

    Jofra Archer returns to the attack, just his seventh over of the day, with a maiden. But he doesn't quite look at the races.

    If Pakistan don't lose another wicket before tea, that Buttler chance will be one of the big talking points during the interval.

    Jos Buttler is having a tough game.

    Don't tell me Jos Buttler has dropped another one...
