    We don't quite know what the winter entails so Jimmy will want to get to that record as quick as possible.

    Azhar Ali is keen on keeping the strike. We'll see a lot of this cat and mouse between Azhar and the England fielders now.

  3. Pak 244-7published at 84 overs

    A flaying, uppish cut is brought out by Azhar Ali, picking up a couple of runs off Stuart Broad, before he's subject to a speculative lbw squeak from Broad.

    High? Leggy? Inside edge? Nothing doing, at any rate.

    With this light, I reckon we will go on until about 19:00 BST. So if these two can get through the next eight or so overs then it changes the dynamics of this game. It's all about this new ball.

    Trail by 39

    A big drive from Shaheen and it is so, so close to being nicked through to Jos Buttler.

    Jimmy looks thrilled with his lot.

    It's all about how Azhar Ali can play around this long tail.

  7. Pak 244-7published at 82.4 overs

    Azhar Ali runs a single and decides to let Shaheen face two balls of Jimmy Anderson.

    Trusting.

    Jimmy Anderson needs three wickets for his 600.

    That was an almost unplayable delivery to the left-hander. A brute of a ball.

  10. Pak 243-7published at 82 overs

    Shaheen gets off the mark in rather stylish fashion, clipping Stuart Broad off his pads for a leisurely two.

    Broad reminds him who he's facing with a beaut that tickles the edge and almost takes out Jos Buttler behind the stumps.

    Shaheen Afridi will join his captain in the middle.

    It's, erm, not a strong tail.

    A beauty from Stuart Broad. He has that steely look in his eyes, charging in, knees pumping.

    Yasir c Root b Broad 20 (Pak 241-7)

    And he strikes!

    Yasir Shah looks genuinely gutted. He was playing at this, pushing forward, and because of the hardness of the new ball it has zipped off the outside edge. Joe Root backpedals a touch but ends up taking the catch above his head at first slip, knocking his cap off in the process.

    Stuart Broad will share new ball duties.

    YES!

    The third umpire threw the old ball to Imam-ul-Haq, who is sat with the subs at the side of the pitch. Imam leapt to get it, grabbed it, and fell over his own chair, ending up flat on his backside in full view of the cameras.

    The light is starting to dip but no signs of that pink light meter. I think they're looking to just crack on, which is good.

    Apparently Yasir Shah models his batting on Ricky Ponting.

    This information has brought me much joy.

    That was a bit of Gordon Greenidge. A beautiful shot.

    Trail by 342

    A peach from Jimmy Anderson beats Yasir Shah's outside edge, as the number eight goes prodding outside his off stump.

    Ooh, that'll be four though! On the pads from Anderson and Yasir, up on one leg, does a flamingo flick to get it to the boundary. Up in the dressing room, Younis Khan cracks a smile.

    Pakistan know if they can bat through today, there is some rain to come tomorrow and Tuesday.
