  1. Pak 75-4published at 35 overs

    The articulate analysis of Mark Ramprakash followed by scintillating stats from Andy Zaltzman. TMS spoils you.

    Dom Bess races through another over. A maiden.

    Jofra Archer's last two overs average above 90mph - they are his fastest two overs since the Ashes Test against Australia at Old Trafford last year.

    Azhar Ali is working very, very hard to keep his left foot down the pitch. It's a difficult thing to do, change something mid-series, but he has been out lbw a few times. Time at the crease can do that.

  4. Pak 75-4published at 34 overs

    Haha, I love it. The man has taken nearly 600 Test wickets but what we remember most are his performances with the bat.

    Chris Woakes strays down leg and Azhar happily clips him down to fine leg for two.

    A reminder that tea will be taken at 15:55 BST today. So still a long time to go in this session.

    VB: Easy decision. Jimmy and Monty

    Dom Bess is still very, very young. He made his first-class debut four years ago, against Pakistan, in a tour match for Somerset at Taunton.

  7. Pak 73-4published at 33 overs

    Dom Bess continues, just a single from the over.

    England, in their first innings, were 127-4 at one point as Yasir Shah dismissed Ollie Pope.

    But since then, this match been completely one-sided.

    From a Pakistan perspective, this is as positive as it's got as late - having two batsmen in the 20s.

  9. Pak 72-4published at 32 overs

    Azhar 22, Fawad 21

    A couple of the Pakistan players are sat on the exercise bikes on their balcony, while batting coach Younis Khan - yep, you guessed it - is scribbling down in his notepad.

    Azhar Ali and Fawad Alam take a single each from Woakes.

    A nice little partnership this, it's worth 42.

    WS: Really don't understand why Archer isn't given the new ball. Surely he needs a hard ball to make use of the pace and bounce he gets?

    Jofra Archer's short, quick spell comes to an end as Chris Woakes returns to the attack for his fourth over of the innings.

    So then, as James Anderson edges closer to the sensational feat of 600 Test wickets, we want to know your favourite ever Jimmy moment. Maybe it's a particular ball or wicket (you've got plenty to choose from) or it could be one of those dodgy haircuts he's had over the years.

  13. Pak 70-4published at 31 overs

    Well, he has no more reviews to waste now anyway.

    Dom Bess darts it in, Fawad Alam happy to make some space and show all three stumps as he pats it back towards the bowler.

    A bit too full and on leg from Bess gifts Azhar an easy single to mid-wicket.

    PD31: Joe Root needs to stop listening to his bowlers and wasting reviews.

  15. Pak 68-4published at 30 overs

    Jofra Archer continues his duel with Azhar Ali - the Pakistan skipper ducking beneath a 91mph bouncer. The England quick is getting trampoline-like bounce at times... it's potentially too much!

    Fawad Alam has a different stance to the spinners, it's less exaggerated.

    It's a tidy start to the over from Dom Bess, who replaces Chris Woakes, but Fawad does latch on to a short one and sends it crashing through to point for four.

    It's the lesser spotted Dom Bess.

    We've spoken about the pitch flattening out but Jofra Archer is getting the batters jumping around. I like this impact role he has.

  20. Not outpublished at 27.5 overs

    Pak 61-4

    Replays show it was just brushing the shoulder as it went past the Pakistan captain. But brilliant, short, fast and threatening bowling from Jofra Archer.
