    Adam Kravetz: Woakes is undroppable at the moment.

    A Just: Chris Woakes is pure class in English conditions. Frequently underused and brought on after the other bowlers have had a go, but still picks up key wickets.

    Lead by 171

    Dom Bess drops too short but Asad Shafiq's murderous pull is cut off by the man in the deep for just a single.

    This should get England a little more energised.

    It's not huge movement that he's getting but Woakes is causing the most problems out of all the England bowlers.

    Woakes 3-1-8-2

    Mohammad Rizwan, who fell to Chris Woakes in the first innings, sees off his first ball.

    Both sides have got a lower to middle order that could disappear in about a quarter of an hour.

    Pakistan lead by 170 and there's not a lot of batting left...

    He thwacked his own leg with the bat afterwards. There was simply no point in reviewing. It hit him about four inches up the pad.

    Oh, this is plumb.

    I love that, for half a second, Azhar Ali thought about reviewing this. He plays all around his front pad to Chris Woakes once again and gets walloped at about ankle height. Woakes has a huge grin on his face as he turns to appeal; he knows, Azhar knows, the umpire knows, and this game is just tipping again.

    Chris Woakes has a good record against these two batsmen. He has dismissed them both four times in Test cricket. Azhar has 69 runs against him and Shafiq has 66 runs.

    Joe Root is talking to Jimmy, who has a face like thunder. Hands on hips, sunglasses on. Think hungover, mardy teenager on a Sunday morning.

    The top four got 26 between the lot of them, Anderson and Broad bowled like a couple of lemons after lunch on day one, Stokes got a duck and dropped a sitter. But apparently it's all Buttler's fault.

    This has been a feature of Pakistan's batting. When they were in a bit of trouble in the first innings they would do the old tip and run.

  15. Pak 63-3published at 23 overs

    Asad Shafiq takes on Joe Root's arm and then sneaks an extra run as a terrible throw from Root beats Ben Stokes and has to be chased down by Jofra Archer.

    I suppose you can't really yell at your captain when they mess up, can you? Asad ends the over with a tidy sweep for four.

    I'm nervous. I've seen these things happen before with Pakistan. When we are good, we are very good. When we are bad, we are very bad.

    What IS Younis writing though?!

    He does look up from his essay in time to see Asad Shafiq whip Chris Woakes off his pads and away for four.

    Archer's entire career could well be defined by him bowling a handful of balls at 95mph in his first Test. Nobody can bowl that quick all the time. He looks better with the surprise quicker bouncer anyway, doesn't need to do it every over.

    Lovely full length from Dom Bess, finding some turn on this dry pitch to wrongfoot Asad Shafiq, but a loopy edge gets the new man off the mark.

    There's a bit of a smile teasing across Ben Stokes' face now, there's a little bit more energy out there.
