    Arslan: Yasir Shah, you absolute beauty. What a delivery!

  2. Eng 159-6published at 13:52 British Summer Time 7 August 2020

    It's spinner to spinner as Dom Bess is the next batsmen in. Yasir is bowling tremendously, lots of flight, finding that turn as Bess comes forward and nearly edges behind.

    England on the ropes and that is Yasir's best over of the innings by a country mile. Wicket-maiden.

    It went through the gate. It was a straight one, after a big spinning leg-break.

    He's bowled him, and Buttler doesn't know how!

    Buttler b Yasir 38 (Pak 159-6)

    Through the gate! Jos Buttler is done like a kipper by Yasir Shah.

    Buttler prods forward and the ball skids on and hits the top of off stump. Pakistan strike in the second over lunch and it's the man they wanted.

    Oh Woakesy, a bit of a post-lunch loss of concentration as he wafts at an outswinger and the ball goes through to Rizwan behind the stumps.

    Naseem follows that with a cracking delivery, tight line outside off stump as Woakes plays inside the line.

    Maiden.

    Woakes shoulders his arms and allows the ball to go by.

    Right then, England still trail by 167. Naseem Shah to kick things off after lunch with Chris Woakes on strike.

    While we wait for the players to come back out, who wants to see a comical fall?

    Oh, go on then, here you are...

  11. England's white-ball tour of India offpublished at 13:36 British Summer Time 7 August 2020

    In other news, England's limited-overs tour to India, scheduled for September and October, has been postponed.

    The trip would have served as preparation for the Twenty20 World Cup, which has also been called off because of the coronavirus pandemic.

    It means England's men have no tours scheduled between the end of the home summer and Christmas.

    They could play both Sri Lanka and India in the early part of the new year.

    There was a lot of Buttler bashing on social media but I think he's played well.

    And then Chris Woakes came in and showed a bit more intent. He's there on 15...

    Buttler is a class act in one-day cricket but he's showing that he's hanging in there and is a quality player. We have seen a real discipline and mindset.

    Jos Buttler, who had a tough time of things with the gloves over the first couple of days, had to grind it out with the bat this morning. He batted patiently and then upped the scoring closer to lunch for an unbeaten 38 from 106 balls …

    Naseem Shah is 17. He has a Test hat-trick to his name and is causing international batsmen all kinds of trouble.

    At 17, the highlight of my day was going through a fast-food drive-through in a battered three-door hatchback, while blasting out the best of UK garage. The sound system was worth more than the car.

    We all do silly things as teenagers.

    And then the breakthrough with 17-year-old Naseem Shah taking his first wicket on English soil with this beauty as Ollie Pope fell for 62 …

    Mohammad Abbas was brilliant, he was asking questions all the time, hitting good lengths. But I think all the bowlers bowled well this morning.

  19. Postpublished at 13:13 British Summer Time 7 August 2020

    Runs were few and far between for the first hour or so. So many play and misses. Maiden after maiden. Superb bowling from Naseem Shah, Mohammad Abbas and Shaheen Afridi.

    Tom: The most disappointing thing about England so far is the absolute lack of noise. If a Pakistan batsman hit a boundary yesterday we'd hear all the players - it's like 'good luck on your own out there boys' at the moment.
