Don't tell me he got that nick on that, that was straightforward for Buttler. It was a beauty from Anderson.

Oh, no. Is that a drop?
Jimmy Anderson rips one through Mohammad Rizwan's defences, there's a noise and Jos Buttler spills it. And it's an easy take. But did he hit it?

My friend Hannah made this a while back to demonstrate the many moods of James Anderson.
I intend to hang it on my wall.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is a costly spell from Bess. The seamers from the other end are not going anywhere near the rate of Bess. He's trying to fizz it in too quickly.

Lead by 194
Dom Bess isn't giving England the control they need, as he's spanked through point by Asad Shafiq.
A little late dab then allows Mohammad Rizwan to run three, and prompts Joe Root to jog in for a chat with his bowler.

Oh, beauty. Mohammad Rizwan is beaten all ends up by a bit of reverse swing.
Pak 79-4published at 29.3 overs
Jofra, Anderson, Woakes and Broad all converge to discuss tactics, before Anderson's first ball is overpitched and whipped by Mohammad Rizwan for a single.
The thought of an England team without James Anderson makes me feel a little bit unwell.

King Grumpy will replace Chris Woakes.

Pak 77-4published at 29 overs
Ooft. A tosh delivery from Dom Bess, a full bunger, and it's way too easy for Mohammad Rizwan to get forward and sweep it aerially for four.
A back foot push lands just short of Stuart Broad, who doesn't so much fumble the ball as dance around it, and Rizwan picks up a single.

Chris Woakes is great.

A little bit grumpy?!
The best bit about Chris Woakes is that if he doesn't think something is out, he doesn't appeal. He even tells his teammates behind the stumps to calm down if they go up for a speculative shout. Nicest man in cricket.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialI'm wondering whether they should give Anderson a little spell now. He bowls well when he's a little bit grumpy.

BBC Sport at Emirates Old TraffordChris Woakes has 85 wickets at 22 in home Tests and 25 at 51.68 in away matches. He is the personification of England's contrasting fortunes.

I actually think this England team, more than any other, relies on the crowd to lift them. You often see Root indicating to the fans to make a bit more noise.

Pakistan have seemed lively since the start, while England have been muted and a bit glum even when doing well. Have we considered that the second bubble experience of the summer is taking its toll on their mood and hurting their cricket? It must be pretty miserable.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialIt went quickly. It would have been a brilliant catch, to be fair to him.

Pak 66-4
James Anderson's bad mood gets even worse as he dives a touch late at backward point as Asad Shafiq thrashes at Chris Woakes, and his attempted one-handed grab misses. It would have been a belter if he'd taken it, but he also looks like he might use a stump as a weapon if anything else goes against him.
