Crawley 152, Buttler 60
The field is spread so deep and, for an England pair that were already finding it easy to pick up the quick singles, they're not barely having to try.
Not sure I'd call Azhar Ali an instinctive captain.
It's been a superb day for Zak Crawley.
Lovely, lovely stuff.
Ooft. Jos Buttler goes reaching outside his off stump to Yasir Shah and the ball pings off the bottom of the bat, but it's short of deep long-off.
Buttler runs a single, and then watches in admiration as Zak Crawley gets down low and sweeps powerfully in front of square for four.

It's one of the great joys of supporting this England team that with an hour to go the close of play score could be anything from 290 for 8 to 330 for 4.

Fawad Alam works his way through another over, Pakistan stumbling their way towards the new ball under increasingly grey skies.
Here's the Ageas Bowl groundstaff, adhering to the strict social distancing at the ground.

If England can negotiate the new ball, they're looking at 400 in the first innings.
Yasir Shah will continue, with the new ball still six overs away.
Time for a breather - and a serious rethink for Pakistan.

This is a big moment in the game. There are two set batsmen. You don't normally see easy runs on day one but the field is back for both of them.
A dinky paddle from Zak Crawley, beating a tumbling Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps, and he's able to get two runs with ease as the field is pushed so far back.
Fawad Alam will come on to bowl.
Good luck, Fawad.
What a day Zak Crawley has had.

This pitch is on the slower side, it's not like the pitch we've seen in either of the first two Tests. Maybe when the sun and heavy roller comes out, it will get quicker in the second innings.
The singles are coming wih complete ease for England.

Zak Crawley is not taking a backwards step, he's really enjoying himself. It was a very controlled reverse sweep.
Shot! Hello, Zak Crawley!
A superb reverse sweep, looking like his wrists are made of elastic, allows Crawley to work four away in very pretty fashion.
