    England might have got Shaheen Afridi here.

    He's nicked to first slip but Joe Root isn't sure if it's carried or not.

    The soft signal is out.

    Rizwan has recognised the urgency for Pakistan to get some momentum and for him to get back on strike. He's desperate to get as much strike as possible.

  3. Pak 175-7published at 73 overs

    Rizwan 23, Shaheen 0

    It's a double change for England as Chris Woakes replaces Jimmy Anderson.

    It's a good start as he gets one to nip back and crack Mohammad Rizwan on the hip - who then gets a single on the pull.

    England haven't test Shaheen Afridi's defences anywhere near enough since he came to the crease. He's faced 18 deliveries since coming in but I reckon he's been able to let at least 70% of them through to Jos Buttler.

    With bat or ball, it is always going to be entertaining when Yasir Shah is involved.

  5. Pak 174-7published at 72 overs

    We've been going for 50 minutes since lunch now and that means we're due a bowling change as Sam Curran replaces Stuart Broad.

    Mohammad Rizwan picks up another single through the on side. The majority of Pakistan's runs in this innings have been scored on the leg side or behind square.

    Here’s the game between the Pakistan T20 squad on the nursery ground Callum mentioned a few overs back.

    Mohammed Amir, Wahab Riaz and Sarfaraz Ahmed are all involved.

    It looks a good game.

    England always seemed on the verge of getting a wicket in that first mini session and they have taken that on after lunch.

  8. Pak 173-7published at 71 overs

    Mohammad Rizwan decides to take a single first ball, which gives James Anderson five balls at Shaheen Afridi, but he's a little bit wide until the final delivery, which Afridi is well in behind.

    Stuart Broad's average this summer: 24 wickets at an average of 12.7. Currently the first England bowler in 20 years to have over 20 wickets with an average under 14. Broad has never averaged under 22 in an English summer before.

  10. Pak 172-7published at 70 overs

    Mohammad Rizwan doesn't look completely comfortable against the short ball. England have a brief appeal as they think he's gloved down the leg side but Hawk-Eye shows there was nothing so good decision from Joe Root not to renew.

    Jos Buttler does brilliantly, hurtling around to short fine leg to restrict Rizwan to a single and give Stuart Broad three deliveries at Shaheen Afridi, but the left-arm bowler is solid in defence.

    I'm excited to see what an extra two or three miles an hour would achieve on this surface - because at 82 or 83mph it's zipping through.

    As a keeper I’d say it’s quite generous to call that Buttler drop a tough chance. The ball was short and heading down leg from the moment it left the hand, so he had plenty of time to get into the right areas. (Would I have held it? Probably not.)

  13. Pak 171-7published at 69 overs

    Right, Pakistan's final three of Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Abbas and Naseem Shah are apparently not up to much with that bat so what does Mohammad Rizwan do here?

    He's played patiently for his 19 off 51 but now may be the time for him to tee off a little bit.

    Just a bit fuller there and not the first airy drive from Yasir in that innings. Not the easiest shot to play to Broad and Anderson in these conditions.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 68.3 overs

    Yasir c Buttler b Anderson 5 (Pak 171-7)

    Number 593 for Jimmy!

    It's full from James Anderson and Yasir Shah, intent on scoring quick runs, has a big drive but it's mistimed and a thick edge is well clutched by Jos Buttler behind the stumps.

    Could Anderson get to 600 in this game?

    Yasir rehearsing a Steve Smith leave - wafting his bat all over the place.

  17. Pak 170-6published at 68 overs

    Shot! Full and wide from Stuart Broad and Yasir Shah smears it through point for his first boundary.

    What a response that is from Broad, though! He gets one to cut back and rise past the shoulder of Yasir's bat. The slip cordon have an appeal but Broad says he heard nothing.

    This pitch seems a bit quicker, that has flown through from Anderson.

  19. Pak 166-6published at 67 overs

    There's plenty of pace and bounce in this pitch as James Anderson gets a good bit of carry through to Jos Buttler.

    The Pakistan T20 players are having an intra-squad game on the Nursery Ground adjacent to the Ageas Bowl and someone has just clipped one over the fence onto the golf course.

    He dropped that catch and Buttler straightaway asked for one of those energy drinks. It's been brought out by another wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.
