    Time for a breather out in the middle.

    That's the danger of dropping short on this pitch. Crawley has looked hot on this pitch and he latched onto it.

  4. Eng 47-1

    Whoops. A horrible ball from Yasir Shah, short, sitting up, and Zak Crawley absolutely pummels it through the cover fielder for four.

  5. It's been a decent start for Zak Crawley.

    Darren Dyer: Here's to hoping for a big score from Zak Crawley today. I get fed up with people talking about his first-class average. If memory serves me right, didn't Michael Vaughan and Marcus Trescothick have rather modest first-class averages before their Test debuts?

  7. Eng 41-1

    Mohammad Abbas continues, and a controlled outside edge brings Zak Crawley a single.

    Abbas plonks his hands on his hips, looking a bit miffed, and that's the over.

    Wind-themed XI: (Hurri)Kane Williamson.

    Surely the weather 11 has your very own Ebony RAINford-Brent in it!

    Oh, wow. The introduction of leg-spin, before noon, on day one.

  10. Eng 39-1

    Dom Sibley uses his feet to Yasir Shah's first ball and drives him nicely through mid-wicket for a couple.

    This is possibly just a little too short from Yasir first up, allowing Sibley and Zak Crawley to rotate the strike with ease.

    Have you spotted that the boundary is without its usual sponsors' triangular prisms? They've been axed because of the wind.

  12. Now then. Yasir Shah is into the attack!

    Shaheen Afridi v Rory Burns in this series: There have been 36 deliveries, 18 runs to Burns, three wickets to Shaheen.

    Before this series, in 199 balls batting against left-arm seamers in his Test career, Burns had never been out.

  14. Eng 33-1

    A bit inside edgy from Zak Crawley, advancing forward, and he gets an extra run as poor Shaheen Afridi makes a real meal of stopping the ball down at fine leg. I'm no expert, but I think you're meant to stop the ball, rather than run past it.

  15. Oh, VERY good.

    Martyn in Neath: How about Sam Northeast-erly for the Wind XI?

  17. Eng 30-1

    Crawley 14, Sibley 10

    A little awkward from Zak Crawley, playing a clubbing sort of drive, but some good running from Crawley and Dom Sibley adds a couple to the total.

    Shaheen claimed the sole wicket to fall so far, courtesy of a tremendous catch by Shan Masood.

  18. Shaheen is trying to put some sawdust down in the footholes and it ends up blowing back in his face because of the wind.

    It's not a dignified look.

    With this wind, the cables and technical equipment we have are flying all over the place.

  20. Eng 28-1

    I've made the mistake of leaving my kitchen window open and there's a small lake spreading across my windowsill. On the plus side, it's given my plants a good watering. I think I'm the only person I know who has managed to kill a catcus.
