    Anustan: Zak Crawley looks pure class, great through the off side and strong off the pads. It's going to be interesting to watch him down under. Nothing better than watching Jos hit big sixes. Setting up what looks like a good Test match.

  3. Eng 244-4

    Buttler 50, Crawley 131

    Zak Crawley times the pants off a cover drive to Shaheen Afridi to add another four to his ever growing total.

    These two have run very well together, with another quick single keeping things ticking along.

  4. Mark Ramprakash
    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    This has been an excellent partnership, just what England needed. All the talk, rightly, will be about Zak Crawley and the fluency he has played with but Buttler has been equally impressive, very composed.

  5. Eng 239-4

    This is Jos Buttler's third Test 50 in five innings. Not bad for a fella under pressure.

  6. 50 runs

    50 for Buttler

    This has been a very nice innings from Jos Buttler, and he brings up his half-century with an easy, clipped two off Yasir Shah.

    Muted celebrations for Buttler - he's eyeing up three figures...

  7. There's 10 overs to go until the new ball, although Pakistan don't exactly seem to be hurrying towards it.

  8. Azhar Mahmood
    Former Pakistan all-rounder on Test Match Special

    I think they can - he has a good wrist position and gets good seam movement.

  9. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Do you think they can trust Naseem Shah with the new ball?

  10. Eng 236-4

    A very tidy over is ruined by a beautiful cover drive from Jos Buttler that goes rolling into the ropes. He's so strong through that area.

  11. Shaheen Afridi is coming back into the attack.

  13. Eng 232-4

    Crawley 125, Buttler 44

    Despite that last over mauling from Jos Buttler, Yasir Shah will continue.

    This latest over costs nowt but a solitary single.

    Josh Withers: Foakes would have scored 17 that over.

  15. Azhar Mahmood
    Former Pakistan all-rounder on Test Match Special

    With 13 overs until the new ball, these two batsmen are putting the pressure on Pakistan.

  16. Eng 231-4

    An outside edge from Zak Crawley but it's angled down, the ball bouncing just in front of the slip cordon.

  17. Azhar Mahmood
    Former Pakistan all-rounder on Test Match Special

    I like the intent of Crawley. From ball one, when he scored four, and the way he's batted against the spinner; coming down the wicket, using his feet or punching off the back foot.

  18. Ah, they've found it - it had ended up under the hover cover.

  19. We've, er, lost the ball...

  20. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That brings up the 100 partnership in 28 overs exactly.
