That's a very good catch, Rizwan knows he got something on that. Finally the stand is broken.

Fortune for England!
It's not a pleasant way to get out, strangled down the leg side, but Mohammad Rizwan will have to go. He chases this angling Chris Woakes delivery, gets a tickle on it and Jos Buttler pulls off a superb catch, diving to his left, to break a very fruitful partnership for Pakistan.

England are desperate for the new ball.
Dom Bess continues and he's swept powerfully by Azhar Ali, but just for one.
I'm not quite sure he's found his rhythm today. It's been easy for Pakistan to knock him about, picking up the singles here and there. That said, he keeps Mohammad Rizwan aware with a delivery that finds a bit of extra bounce and drops tantalisingly close to leg gully.
Six overs until the second new ball, so you'd expect England to hurry themselves along to that target...

Good toss to win this. If Pakistan had had first dibs, and played like this, anything could have happened.

This has been a superb 135-run stand - and here's how Mohammad Rizwan reached his 50, and in some style.

Chris Etheridge: Great innings from Azhar Ali! It would have been easy for Pakistan to collapse in a heap after Crawley and Buttler's marathon partnership but he has looked very good.

That was a tremendous hundred. Azhar Ali is one of the real good guys of the game. He's very humble. He's under a lot of pressure back home but he's shown a huge amount of mental resilience.
Time for everyone to take a breather.

Lovely stuff.

It's a fantastic knock, a real captain's knock. He really had to apply himself and get stuck in.

A huge roar from the Pakistan dressing room. He signals to the sky and punches his bat in the air. It's his 17th Test hundred and what a moment for him.
There it is!
A superb century for Azhar Ali, celebrated with a roar around the ground. There's coaches, subs and players dotted all over the place and they rise to give him a standing ovation. He's had a tough two weeks, having been under such a lot of pressure, and he has stood up and been counted today.
Joe Root brings the field right up to the Pakistan captain, who blocks out his first two balls.
It must be a big moment, Younis has put his book down.

Dom Bess needs to work on his consistency. He needs to just keep hitting that same length.
Mohammad Rizwan runs down an outside edge, allowing Azhar Ali to face up to Dom Bess...
