    A round of applause for Dom Sibley, I think.

    Amy - Re Younis and War and Peace at 16.30 BST: Tolstoy actually started working on the idea of what became War and Peace as a book set in the Decembrist Uprising in 1825, but the novel ends in 1820 with Prince Andrei's adolescent son harbouring revolutionary. It has been speculated that Tolstoy intended to write this next part of the story but never did, so perhaps Younis Khan is indeed carrying on the great man's work.

  4. Pak 106-5published at 35 overs

    Oh, that's been dispatched!

    Dragged down from Dom Bess and Shadab Khan almost does the splits as he hammers it to the boundary rope to get off the mark with a four.

    Aidan: Why is Bess still bowling? Root would be a better option at the moment. Please can we pick Leach for the next match. There is a reason he is the preferred spinner at Somerset.

    Martel: I miss Jack Leach.

    Dom Bess is going to carry on.

    Will England turn to Ben Stokes now that they've got the wicket? I think it's such a risk.

  8. Pak 101-5published at 34 overs

    Lead by 208

    Mohammad Rizwan makes up for running his mate out by thrashing four straight down the ground.

    You felt it was going to happen in this Test because Pakistan's tactic has been to pick up quick singles. There was a bit of hesitation and he's well short of his ground. You could actually give that as a standing umpire in the middle of the ground.

    The release and the flick from Dom Sibley, brilliant.

    Shafiq run out (Sibley) 29 (Pak 101-5)

    A moment's hesitiation, and then some brilliance from Dom Sibley, has done for Asad Shafiq.

    We say often that England don't hit the stumps enough in the field. This hasn't just hit them but splattered them. Shafiq is slow to come through and Sibley's throw from cover, after running in from point, is superb.

    Oh, Dom Sibley has just pulled off an almighty run out!

    The first 50 took Pakistan 21 overs, they then moved to 100 in just 12.3 overs.

    Mohammad Rizwan swivels and pulls on a short ball, while Ben Stokes is doing a bit of limbering up.

    This is where Joe Root needs to get the team together and say to the seam bowlers that you need to win this next 50 minutes cricket. Because if they don't, it's gone.

  16. Pak 99-4published at 33.1 overs

    Oh, shot!

    Mohammad Rizwan pumps James Anderson straight back down the ground for a gorgeous four. Imagine how pleased Jimmy is.

    Dom Bess is just not getting it anywhere near the right zone with the right pace.

  18. Pak 95-4published at 33 overs

    Lead by 202

    Too leg side from Dom Bess, and the finest of tickles from Asad Shafiq sends it running away for four.

    Now Shafiq goes aerial, not quite timing this hoick over mid-wicket, but Pakistan steal two and their lead creeps beyond 200.

    It's still a worry when your wicketkeeper is dropping those.
