    Root 3, Pope 13

    Still plenty of noise around from the Pakistan fielders and support staff - Mohammad Rizwan is so loud that it's like he's wearing his own mic. Great atmosphere.

    Lee Adby: Missing Denly yet? Ousted out of the team by media pressure, was a solid player when needed and they need him now.

    Jack Gilbert: Serious tweet.... tell you who would have been very useful this evening: Joe Denly.

    Let's face it, we enjoyed that. It was a maiden. It was fast. What amazing potential this young man has.

    It's a lively first ball and we get a glimpse of that beautiful, natural action. It's a strong, athletic approach. It's a perfect action.

    And that second ball has just flown. It moved about a foot.

    Good grief. Ollie Pope's first look at Naseem Shah results in him watching an outrageous delivery go swinging past his face and almost take out Rizwan behind the stumps.

    A huge lbw shout, Pope playing around an 88mph delivery, but height has saved Pope there, Naseem's bounce taking the ball over the top.

    Now then. Here is Naseem Shah.

    Who needs a crowd when you've got the Pakistani slips? Time for Root to show his class now.

    Mohammad Rizwan is coming up to the stumps for Mohammad Abbas, before Joe Root clips a nice two off his pads.

    Shaheen Afridi is asking for someone to bring a jumper out, which implies he's going to take a breather.

    It's been a high class bowling spell from these guys. It's a testing time for Root and Pope.

    I just heard someone shout to Naseem Shah to get ready and then I heard Shaheen Afridi say that he needs one more over.

    Ollie Pope plays a glorious straight drive but ends up cannoning it straight into the stumps at the non striker's end. Typical.

    Pope plonks a couple through cover to end the Shaheen over.

    Ben Stokes is still sat shaking his head in the England dressing room.

    Trail by 300 runs

    Nice from Ollie Pope, clipping a rare Abbas loosener off his pads to add some rare runs to the scorecard.

    This is a magnificent bowling spell. I have worked with these guys and I treat them like my own kids, I get so excited for them when they do well.

    That was virtually unplayable. It was an incredible delivery.

    Naseem Shah is loosening up, just as Shaheen Afridi beats Joe Root every which way possible with a delightful delivery.

    Good luck, fellas.

  20. Eng 21-3published at 8.2 overs

    A yorker from Shaheen, well dug out by Joe Root, and it's promptly called a no ball by the third umpire.

    Shaheen changes angle, pushing the ball across Root, and it comes perilously close to taking the outside edge of the bat. It is not easy out there.
