    It's been a terrific innings from Azhar Ali, who was under some pressure when he came in to bat.

  2. Pak 204-5published at 72 overs

    A nervy moment for Azhar Ali as his outside edge gets rattled by the final ball of Chris Woakes' over. Think Jos Buttler on 99.

    He'll have to wait a little longer for three figures.

    Oh, hello. On the hips from Chris Woakes and Azhar Ali whips it away with ease to take himself to 99 not out...

    Chris Woakes will replace Jofra Archer.

    Fantastic noise from the Pakistan balcony when Rizwan reached 50. Some members of staff even emerged through the groundsman's shed from the practice ground. They've stayed in position for the impending Azhar century.

    That was Mohammad Rizwan's first six in Test cricket. And he's the first Pakistan wicketkeeper to have two fifties in any Test series against England.

    Trail by 383

    Mohammad Rizwan comes perilously close to throwing it away as he gets a bit overexcited and nearly sends a cut through to Jos Buttler.

    A superb, counter-punching innings from Mohammad Rizwan.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Rizwanpublished at 70.1 overs

    Mohammad Rizwan brings up his half-century in style - by dancing down the pitch and launching Dom Bess for six!

    The ball flies over mid-off and the Pakistan wicketkeeper raises his bat in acknowledgement of a very, very good half-century.

    Archer doesn't want to keep banging it in short. He's got more craft than just that. I think his short ball is better when it's a surprise delivery.

    Jofra Archer has looked threatening at times but he's had slightly difficult conditions and bowled a lot with the older ball.

  13. Pak 193-5published at 70 overs

    Decent pace from Jofra Archer, especially on a pitch as flat as this, but I'd wager this ball has gone soft.

    Still, a bouncer whistles through to Jos Buttler at shoulder height, and Pakistan can only muster a single from his latest over.

    If you get stuck in and try to weather the storm, there are no real demons in this pitch. I think England will be eyeing up the new ball.

  15. Pak 192-5published at 69 overs

    Azhar 93, Rizwan 44

    Nice from Mohammad Rizwan, dancing back in his crease, getting onto his stumps, and carving Dom Bess away for three easy runs.

    Another full Bess ball is driven with aplomb by Azhar All to take him within seven runs of an excellent century.

    John Main: Controversial I know (also hoping he now takes a five-for) but Jofra isn't having the impact I expected and he's not been as threatening as Sam Curran this summer.

  17. Pak 186-5published at 68 overs

    Well, there's a short leg and two fielders down at third man which means one thing... bouncers.

    There is some short stuff, along with a few outside off stump tempters that Azhar Ali leaves well alone.

    This is a big performance for Azhar Ali, considering the scrutiny and pressure he has been under.

  19. Pak 185-5published at 67 overs

    Out of nowhere, Azhar Ali has made his way to 90.

    Mark Burt: Not sure what game Jon from Brentwood is watching. England toiled well on a good deck against a very classy batsman. Pakistan are allowed to be excellent.
